ok, so i have posted about this before.
there is no way i can find it again, but /fit/izens that are on here a lot might remember it from a thread from a while back

source. ex professional level ballet dancer here

it takes a lot of time to actually 'figure' out the proper technique of ballet, but for guys, you can expect to make enormous gains in first of all calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, lower back, lats, and transverse abs (the ones that are behind the visible ones, that essentially are responsible for cinching in your torso and waist, so your torso and waist will become narrower (tighter cinched) over time).

males focus mainly on big jumps

most serious major ballet academies are always looking for more guys to join their classes, even perhaps for minor roles in performances, for background stuff, minor partnering stuff (doing basic lifts with girls and such)

look at pic related and judge for yourself

Do capoeira instead. You'll become very flexible, make gains from all the odd bodyweight movements and build your cardio and explosiveness, not to mention you'll be learning a martial art alongside a dance.
