Is it wrong for a male to take dancing lessons?

My three year old son loves dancing so I have him enrolled in ballet and tap dancing. He really loves it, but my parents react negatively to it. (I am currently living with them)

If I am working overtime and I ask them to please pick him up from his dancing lessons or drop him off, they always react negatively by saying 'boys don't dance'

Currently, our music in my country is very popular with the dancing and even males do it.

So it is wrong for a male child to take ballet and tap dancing? He's currently the only boy in the small class.
He enjoys it, but he's starting to hate it because his grandparents are being negative about it and thinks they don't like him because he wants to dance.

@SW-User He doesn't want to do ballet or tap dancing anymore because he thinks it'll make his grandparents not love him.

@Rain95 you need to talk to him and explain that different people like different things, and it is OK if he loves dancing and his grandparents do not, explain it by example for instance with different foods, I do this with my kids I say see guys your dad loves bbq sauce and I don't. I like mayonnaise and he doesn't it is OK if we all enjoy different things in life, no 2 people are the same 👍
@Rain95 telll those grand parent to accect it or shut up there hurting your child defend him

@SW-User Alright I'll try it. I still take him to the lessons though. I guess they're worried he'll come out gay because recently my older brother came out homosexual
