Lara Spencer was accused of 'bullying' male dancers after making a comment about Prince George's ballet class on Thursday. In response, 300 dancers took a ballet class outside of the 'GMA' studio on Monday in protest.
Hundreds of people gathered in New York City for a dance class in the wake of Lara Spencer’s “insensitive” remark about Prince George taking ballet class.
However during the broadcast, 300 people gathered outside the Good Morning America’s Times Square studio in solidarity with male dancers and to protest the idea that ballet is only for girls. “I started dance when I was 7. It took my parents several years of convincing though,” the SYTYCD finalist shares. “They saw the talent and love for dance I had, but my answer was always ‘no, dancing is only for girls.’ It wasn’t until they struck a deal with me to go see a dance show – and I saw other male dancers there – which convinced me to start immediately.”
“As a dancer myself, I was bullied all the time growing up. And I’m thankful that I used that as motivation to be successful,” Wall said. “Ballet teaches you integrity, teaches you discipline, teaches you respect and it teaches you bravery. And if there are any boys out there that want to dance and want to pick up a dance class, do it.”“We wanted to show the world examples of strong male dancers and the incredible effect that dance has had on our lives,” he says.
