Topics include the dominance of the male dancer in the past, and male contributions to the evolution of ballet ; the male dancer's loss of prestige upon the advent of pointe technique ; prejudice against male ballet dancers ; the reinstatement of male dancing, beginning with Bournonville's version of La sylphide, which spotlighted the danseur's role ; and the influence of Nijinsky, Nureyev, and other pre-eminent danseurs, leading to a greater acceptance of the male dancer.
