A ballet dancer with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in Canada has had to leave after appearing in a gay porn film.
Danish born Jeppe Hansen says he was asked to sign a letter saying he had voluntarily withdrawn from the institution.
The RWB wouldn?t comment on the allegations but said the school?s code of conduct didn?t allow students to perform outside the school without permission.
22-year-old Hansen, who has previously danced for the Queen of Denmark and who beat thousands of hopefuls to win a scholarship at the ballet company, says the school has unfairly defined what constitutes art.
?I wanted to express myself in a different way, artistically in a different way than what I can do in the classical ballet form. And I also wanted to explore myself and my sexuality,? Hansen said.
Jeppe says he hopes one day to be able to return to his first love of ballet but for now is pursuing a full-time career in ?adult entertainment? in New York under the name Jett Black.
