Just looking for any fiction books (ya, na, contemp?) featuring a male ballet dancer as one of the main characters. Romance preferred. :) (also -- can be other kinds of dancers, not just ballet)

I would add my book Dining Out With The Gas Giants but the system won't let me. A performance of Coppellia features.

Or do they just go to watch the ballet? Because I was looking specifically for male dancer heroes as the main characters (and from your blurb and reviews it seems yours are journalists, but it's not that they couldn't also be dancers as well).
The principal characters are journalists but their friends, strong secondary characters in this book, are ballet dancers with the Royal Ballet. A male and female couple. The journalists watch their warmups and have a few meals with them, find out how the Royal Ballet is organised, then attend their performance on the Covent Garden stage. Later the dancers, who are setting up a café business in London to benefit relatives, are also pulled into a dangerous escapade. I believe the male dancer comes across as heroic and strong, a well defined and unusual character. I agree that this does not make him the principal character; but he is the principal male dancer in Coppellia. (smile)
Up to you if you believe the book deserves inclusion. Still there are not all that many on the list yet, so it might be worth stretching a point.
