I don't think he actually "studied ballet." He did a benefit for the Minnesota Dance Theatre Company - I believe he and the band did their training there for Purple Rain.

this thread needs a photoshop of Prince in a tutu lol
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I had heard he studied briefly in preparation for Purple Rain. That's why he was able to do the little pirouette move.

He had him and the Purple Rain cast taking dance classes at Loyce Hulton. She was a longtime ballet teacher in Minneapolis. I think they were doing jazz classes. I used to know the guy who taught Prince to do those JB splits.

If by "once" you mean thousands of times and by "studied" you mean licked, and by "ballet" you mean vaginas... then yes.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
