“There needs to be queer representation in ballet—not as the villain but as the lead.”
They’re all heterosexuals. There isn’t a classical ballet with an out gay protagonist, only Disney-style queer-adjacent villains. So drag is my way of letting off steam.
My friends and I used to film each other doing little living-room drag performances. It was very innocent and just pure fun. And then later, we’d go out and terrorize clubs as a drag-queen group called the Dairy Queens. I’m named after Yoo-hoo, the chocolate-milk drink. My music practice came from just tinkering on my computer, but people seem to really connect with the camp and kitsch of it all. In 2011, I had a song calledgo viral. I’ll never forget my boss at the time, Boston Ballet artistic director Mikko Nissinen, saying to me in rehearsal, “I hope you don’t hate your job, but I really like your music video.” That was the first time my worlds crossed over.I’d feared retaliation in my ballet career for being so irreverent and subversive.
