Dance Dance Danseur - S01

Junpei Murao's love for ballet started when he was young, at his sister's ballet recital, where a male ballet dancer caught his attention with a powerful performance. But for Junpei, nothing would be worse than his classmates discovering his secret passion for ballet and seeing him as effeminate. So he joined the soccer club, trains in Jeet Kune Do, and plans to follow his father's path of becoming a stunt coordinator: all very "manly" pursuits. When his classmate Miyako Godai sees him show off an impressive kick to his friends, one that blends ballet and Jeet Kune Do, she suddenly asks him to join her mother's ballet studio. He refuses at first, and though he has given up his dreams of formally studying ballet, nothing else gives him the euphoria that ballet does. After pushing down his desire to pursue ballet for so long, it is not easy to let go of his hesitation and break free from the shackles of masculinity. Junpei must be willing to make certain sacrifices and fully commit to ballet, all while risking the loss of some friends.
