#11 How can a man make his ballerina dreams come true?

Most of us grew up in a world where Barbie dolls and pink toys were for girls and plastic swords and blue toys were for boys. This binary way of thinking has been affecting the classical dance industry for decades.

Here is the story of Yeric Valentino, a professional ballet dancer that was trained to perform Princes and who wanted to be a Princess. Last year (2019), he made his dreams come true by joining the company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, dancing on pointes with a tutu on. After interpreting male roles, he had to face the choice of what was right and what was easy. He listened back to his inner self and lately became the one he always wanted to be.

This episode is for the ones that love the idea of not being what people expect them to be, and any curious listener.
