Another monarch who didn't like ballet

(Or at least performing in it as a child.)

Per Wikipedia,

In 1720, following the example of Louis XIV, Villeroy had the young Louis dance in public in two ballets at the Tuileries Palace on 24 February 1720, and again in The Ballet des Elements on 31 December 1721. The shy Louis evidently did not enjoy the experience; he never danced in another ballet.
