Abstract: Classical ballet imposes tensions on the bodies involved in it. That becomes a privileged scenario for listening to their voices concerning their subjective constitution. In a secondary analysis of data produced in a previous study conducted in Cuba, we revisit the dialogue with the still-open voices and their echoes to uncover the chiaroscuro of gender relations that this context produces. To this end, (re)framing our gazes and recomposing the montages as a methodological strategy allow us to (re)signify the senses of being constituted as male and female bodies in the times-space of classical ballet. We unravel some of the agencies/resistances of transvestite, subjected, emancipated, and constrained bodies, which question us, inviting us to dance with their shadows.
