'If love be rough with you, be rough with love; Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.' Mercutio 1.4.
Last month, I found and posted some shots of a ballet dancer. (HERE:) I didn't know who he was, only that the images were from a production of Romeo & Juliet. Thanks to some FH readers, and some posters on Instagram, I was able to identify Jake Roxander as the tight wearing Mercutio.
Roxander began dance training at the age of eight, studying with his parents at their dance school, Studio Roxander, in his hometown in Oregon. In addition to studying dance, Roxander also took gymnastics and voice lessons and performed in musical theatre productions.
Roxander joined the American Ballet School Studio Company in September 2020 and became an apprentice with the main Company in May 2022, The images of Roxander as Mercutio are from a production of Romeo and Juliet staged last year.

He and the Asian dancer holding onto him in one shot make a cute couple, IMO! ;-)
