The Elegance of Ballet
Ballet is a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It has been globally influential and has defined the foundations of many dance genres. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music and is known for its grace, precision, and formalized steps.
A Journey Through History
Originating in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, ballet soon traveled to France and Russia, where it transformed into a spectacular form of performance. Not merely a dance, it combines music, stage design, and dance to convey stories and emotions.
