      abstract = {This book examines men, masculinities and sexualities in  Western theatrical dance, offering insights into the  processes, actions and interactions that occur in dance  institutions around gender-transgressive acts, and the  factors that set limits to transgression. This text uses  interview and observation data to analyze the conditions  that encourage some boys and young men to become involved  in this widely unconventional activity, and the ways  through which they negotiate the gendered and sexual  attachments of their professional identity. Most  importantly, the book analyzes the opportunities male  dancers find to develop a reflexive habitus, engage in  gender transgressive acts and experiment with their  sexuality. At the same time, it approaches gender and  sexuality as embodied, and therefore as parts of identity  that are not as easily amendable. This book will be of  interest to scholars in Gender and Sexuality Studies as  well as Dance and Performance Studies. Andria Christofidou  is a sociologist of genders and sexualities. She teaches at  the Department of Social and Political Sciences, University  of Cyprus, and works as a post-doctoral researcher in the  Developing Equality Allies: An Innovative Workplace  Inclusion Programme. Andrias research has been published in  the Journal of Gender Studies, and NORMA: International  Journal for Masculinity Studies.},
