troc3

Meet the world’s foremost all-male comedic ballet company.

You may be familiar with the hilarious version of Robin Hood, Men in Tights, but you may not have heard of the incredibly talented comedic male dance troupe, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.

Formed in 1974, this group of male-in-drag-ballet dancers combines strength and humor to delight their audiences, performing parodies of well-known ballets.

Talk about busting stereotypes—The Trocks are all skilled ballet dancers that take their talent to a new level, poking fun at traditional ballets in an industry where  women command the majority of the roles.

Dancing on pointe can be both strenuous and painful on the feet, stressing the arches and toes.
