Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo is an American all-male drag ballet corps which parodies the conventions and clichés of romantic and classical ballet. The company was co-founded by Peter Anastos, Natch Taylor and Antony Bassae in New York City in 1974, producing small, late-night shows, in off-off Broadway lofts. Their first show was on September 9, 1974, at a second story loft on 14th street, in the heart of the meat-packing district. The current artistic director is Tory Dobrin. After receiving a favorable critical review in ''The New Yorker'' by Arlene Croce, it was discovered by a wider audience. The "Trocks" toured the world, with prolonged engagements in many major cities. In 2008 they performed at the Royal Variety Performance, in front of Prince Charles. The dancers portray both male and female roles in a humorous style that combines parodies of ballet, posing and physical comedy with "straighter" pieces intended to show off the performers' technical skills. Much of the humor is in seeing male dancers ''en travesti'' performing roles usually reserved to females, wearing tutus and dancing ''en pointe''. == Dancers == == Repertoire == From the Classical Repertory *''Swan Lake'' Act II (chor. -Lev Ivanov; music -Tchaikovsky) *''The Black Swan'' (the ''Black Swan Pas de Deux'' from ''Swan Lake'') (chor. -After Petipa; music -Tchaikovsky, revised by Drigo) *''Don Quixote'' Act I (chor. -After Petipa and Gorsky; music Minkus) *''Don Quixote Grand Pas de Deux'' (chor. -After Petipa and Gorsky; music -Minkus) *''Le Corsaire Pas de Deux'' (chor. -After Petipa; music -Drigo, Gerber; and Fitinhof-Schell) *''Grand Pas de Trois des Odalisques'' from ''Le Corsaire'' (chor. -Petipa; music Adam and Pugni) *''Grand Pas de Deux'' from Act III of ''The Sleeping Beauty'' (chor. -Petipa; music -Tchaikovsky) *''The Bluebird'' from Act III of ''The Sleeping Beauty'' (chor. -Petipa; music -Tchaikovsky) *''Pas de Trois'' from ''The Fairy Doll'' (chor.
