The first recorded performance of a ballet was in 1581, entitled Le Ballet Comique de la Reine, or the comic ballet of the queen.

you show judges your ballet abilities to help them see if they want you for their school, company....

There is no lyric to the classical music for the ballet ‘Swan Lake’ by Peter Tchaikovsky. But yes, the show is very beautiful. I join ballet as well and I have watched the ‘Swan Lake’ show many times😁😆
