In Peru, classical ballet is not made visible in society, and those aspects that are linked are wrong. Masculinity in classical ballet dancers is a null aspect, since they are associated with the opposite of this, femininity. Given this, society maintains social representations of dancers based on the ideals of society. From the aforementioned, the present research aims to explore the social representations of masculinity in male professional classical ballet dancers from Metropolitan Lima. For this, 7 interviews were conducted with professional classical ballet dancers, who meet or have met the level of first dancer or soloists of the company of the Municipal Ballet of Lima between 26 - 60 years. These were analyzed from a semi-structured interview about their training as students, their professional career as dancers and their vision of the future as agents of change. For this reason, this qualitative research maintains a narrative design, which will allow exploring these social representations of masculinity over 3 periods: past, present and future. Among the results found, in the past the candidates' childhood and adolescence were covered, thus showing how they have started in classical ballet (between 8 and 10 years old), and the importance of having peer support in order to face a possible rejection from society. Then, during the present it contains adulthood where it is shown how the social representations of masculinity in dancers are presented through the association of being a dancer with homosexuality; However, it is shown that the dancer shows the opposite of what society thinks through characteristics such as strong, muscular, etc. Finally, in the future it is observed that dancers can be agents of change in the face of this problem.
