Overview
Ballas recently discussed the stereotype of male dancers being gay in an interview with PopEater.
He said: 'We have eight male professional dancers and one is gay. I never dealt with the stigma, I was at a performing arts school, so it wasn't an issue.
'I always thought if I were ever confronted about it, I'd just say: 'Well, while you're on the football field with a bunch of dudes, I'll be dancing with a bunch of girls.''
He added that he would be fine with it if he was the first cast member to dance with a same-sex partner.
Ballas said: 'I would be totally cool with it. There are other competitions where they have same sex couples. I'd support it. There is a slight inherent disadvantage.
'Two girls and two men just can't move like a man and a woman. But you can try.'
