Ballet is a very stylised form of dance, usually designed to tell a story. It comes from the Latin ballare (to dance).
Some people have a fetish for ballerinas (female ballet dancers), partly because they traditionally wear skirts that are short and stick out, allowing views of their legs right to the top. It was customary in 19th century Paris for operas to incorporate a ballet so men could admire the dancers and possibly arrange a date with one afterwards.
Male ballet dancers usually wear tights, showing a male bulge. It is said that many male dancers are gay.
