Much anecdotal information about psychosocial issues of adolescent male dancers is in popular press but no empirical data exists. This qualitative/quantitative study examines the social support and self concept of dancers between the ages of 12 and 18 years within the framework of Ericson's Epigenic Theory of Personality Development. Thirty-three boys (at three sites) participated in the quantitative section and 16 (at one of the sites) of those 33 participated in the qualitative portion. Using Pearson Correlations, it was determined that as social support scores increased, self concept scores increased and perceived satisfaction with support received increased. A positive relationship was found between social support and global self concept (r = .799, <italic> p</italic> = .01), with 64% of the variance in self concept accounted for by social support, as well as between social support and 6 self concept subscales. Using an ethnographic approach, the qualitative portion of the study revealed three main themes: the participants feel socially isolated, have unmet or unrealized needs but have a strong sense of perseverance and love of dance. The conclusions of the study are that boys who dance perceive themselves as being “different” from boys who do not dance; the majority of boys in this study lack sufficient social support mechanisms or perceive their social support as inadequate; and anecdotal information about the experiences of boys who dance, while not scientific in nature, should not be over-looked as a valuable source of information. Information from this study can be a catalyst for future research on adolescent male dancers or can be applied in dance programs to address the needs of adolescent boys who dance.Subjects--Topical Terms:
