23-year-old Erik Cavanaugh, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is defying traditional body stereotypes with his fierce contemporary dance routines. The male dancer is a “bigger” sized, male ballerina. Eric fell in love with dance when he was in high school. His efforts and enthusiasm are beginning to pay off. Cavanaugh has now more than 8,000 followers on his Instagram and even caught the attention of actor Ashton Kutcher. The male ballerina works at a pizza shop “to pay the bills,” but he also teaches dance classes to kids, ages 6 to 17. Image Source: Screenshot/Instagram/2017
