What is the difference between modern ballets from traditional ballets?

Modern ballet focuses on natural movement and traditional ballet has more stricter rules. For example, if a traditional ballet dancer is just standing on stage, their legs have to be turned out and in first position. But if it were a modern ballet dancer, their legs would not be turned out and they would be in parallel position.

Can you teach yourself ballet?

I do not think you can. There are so many things you can learn. All the words used in ballet are french so you would need to learn those words. You need to be able to point out the details used in ballet. For example, in jazz, when you do a pirohuette turn, your leg by your knee is parallel and in ballet it is turned out. In ballet you all ways use opposites too. Also, you need to learn all the positions. When you do a performance, you don't always smile too. So you probally could not teach yourself ballet.
