Subject: DS only really ever told his best friends but I'm sure the other kids knew but was never teased
In reply to: see inside first reply 's message, "Need advice...ds is U9 novice. He's a wonderful little dancer, but doesn't want anyone at school to know..." on 07:15:48 01/11/09 Sun

but his grade six teacher made this big thing about "everyone has a talent" and showed him that he does have a special gift. He told the rest of his classmates & he did a little 'shy' dance in class - they were all amazed.

This past year he started high school. He came home and said, "it got out that I dance" in a really strange voice. I asked what had happened and I guess some "acquaintance" (sp?) was going around making comments about my son and he 'dances'. Some other student came up & said sarcastically, "so I hear you dance" and he promply rattled off his accomplishments & I then asked (still thinking it was the big mouthed boy) did you tell them about all the girls you dance with? He said, I didn't think she'd care..." I laughed and that's been it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is tell your son to be proud of his talents and don't let anyone stop him from doing what he enjoys. Be proud!

My DS is now 14 and still loving dance!
