If your wife claims it's ballet or nothing, she's using him to prove something and that's not right.
Find common ground and get him involved. It's the interaction he'll enjoy more (and will more benefit him) then the activity itself.

I dunno....i really have to disagree!!!! Just becuase you are worried about him being called a "sissy" really isnt a valid enough reason to say, "Evven if you like ballet, you cant do it, cuz ppl are gonna think your gay". I think that is the stupidest reasoning ever.
If he wants to do ballet and is interested in it..LET HIM!! IF he doesnt like it once hes seen a class or two, find out what his interests are. If ppl start calling him a sissy, this is when you tell him " stick up for yourself
Tell them I am not a sissy, ballet is great exercise and teaches you rhythm and makes you muscley!!!"
On another note, i went to cirque sublime (cirque du soleil) a few days ago and MAN that was amazing!!! They had the two guys that hold each other up and stuff, it was flippin UNREAL! IF you ever have a chance to go see them, do it! its amazing
