The following is a fun story about the protocol and social norms behind giving flowers on stage to the ballet dancers of the UK's Royal Ballet. No ballerina can receive flowers on stage if the principal dancer is not given a bouqet first. Luckily, a fund was established to purchase flowers in order to avoid this problem. Male dancers are not allowed to recieve flowers unless they've danced female roles.
