Just curious. Would you? Or is it a strictly female experience? What if they were genuinely interested in dance?

I totally would. Dance has a lot of benefits such as fitness and improving hand-eye coordination.

Yes, this is something DH and I have talked about because I used to dance. If he expressed interest in it, sure.

Totally! I'm not in to gender conformity at all, so whatever interests my children have I will support

He can dance if he wants to. He can leave his friends behind. Because his friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they aint no friends of mine...
Sorry. I had to.
In all honesty though, I'd have no issues with DS wanting to dance.

Oh yes, absolutely! If he was interested. I wouldn't force a boy or a girl into classes.

Sure! We plan on starting DS in gymnastics at 3, and then he can switch to dance (or another physical activity) if he wants.

I would love if my son wanted to dance. I'd much rather go to a ballet recital then a t-ball game.

If he has interest--absolutely!! I don't want to force my children to participate in extra curricular activities they have no interest in.

Sure, if he wants. Like @Honeybee: we plan to have our children take gymnastics from a young age, boy or girl, because I think it would be good for coordination (they aren't going to get any coordinated genes from me, so they will need any help they can get!) If they want to try dance too, no problem.
That said, I can see myself suggesting it to a girl more than a boy, which is sort of dumb. But honest.

Yes, if this is what he absolutely wanted to do. I want to fully support him in whatever he desires to do!

As soon as he is ready to do a class with out me he will be doing ballet. He shows an interest on dancing in general or we wouldn't be putting him in it.

Yup. I will default to putting my daughters in dance unless they strongly oppose. A son I probably wouldn't default to putting him in class but if he showed an interest I absolutely would. My husband is a real guy's guy (he used to be an NFL player to give you a reference point). But when we watch So You Think You Can Dance it makes him really happy to see these super manly dads who are really proud of their sons who are dancers and it makes me so happy that he appreciates seeing that!

We have talked about this since a friend owns a studio and we have gone to the recitals before. DH would be harder to convince that it is ok, but if he wanted too, then I say yes.

Yes. I'm a dance teacher and plan on enrolling him when he is old enough. I at least want him to try it. If he doesn't like it then that is fine!
