How does a dance teacher entice boys into class? You could bribe them with food, and there's always the chance of a quick glance up a tutu, but generally once peer pressure starts, girls want to be ballerinas and boys, well, don't. Instructor Don Mirault thinks he has the secret: lifts. Not the kind you wear on your shoes, but the choreographed moves that allow boy partners to carry and swing girl partners around on their manly shoulders. Mirault demonstrates these movements with two sets of young partners (ages 7 to 11), emphasizing correct positioning in each dip and turn. A great choice for dance teachers looking to spice up their recitals and showcase the guys who stick it out, this is recommended. Aud: P. (E. Druda)
