they can build a relationship with the interviewee and ask more personal questions
- the audience want authentic answers which give truth to what it is actually like

-
audience
-
anyone who enjoys dance or watching it
- age range: 13 - 40+
- no specific gender though may seem as though its tailored more towards men
- people who want to be informed about what it's like for men in the dance industry both young and old
- not as niche as this is a wider issue, not focused on one dance school
-
title ideas
- boys and dance
- breaking the rhythm
- against the odds
- breaking boundaries
- boys in dance, though its normal, is still stigmatised so these titles would emphasise how for men its still as though they have to prove themselves
