Ballet companies mostly use classical music, but some ballets use more modern music. My studio has done peices to contemporary and jazz songs before, so the music ballet companies use can vary.

Why is classical music used in ballet?

For the following reasons: * It was the music of the time when
ballet was first being danced. Classical music was the "popular"
and "cool" music of the time. * It's beautiful songs really connect
with ballet. * Even after classical music was not the popular music
of the day, everyone thought of ballet with classsical music. *
Older ballets were already written to classical music, it wouldn't
make sense to rewrite the music for those historic and beautiful
ballets.
