Ballet

Ballet wasn't "invented." It developed over time as has all art forms. Louis XIV is said to have influenced the consoildation of ballet, and at this time it was a group of men, wearing huge costumes performing for the king and the court. The stories of the ballet would vary, but usually were comments on the political views of the day. This did not always please the king, so more light frilly entertainment was performed. Ballet was also performed on horses, in stadiums, like football is today. The ballet would be performed with riders and horses slowly /quickley 'dancing'. This would have been quite amazing to watch. In Spain dancing horses are still popular, and this is related to ballet. Ballet started out in the 15th century in France. It wasn't really anything like ballet is today. It was more like ballroom dancing in heavy, clunky costumes and shoes. Over time, it evolved into something more gymnastic and acrobatic like it is today. Women were forbidden to dance it, really. But the whole structure of ballet has changed from top to bottom. The clothing has become much lighter and revealing and the steps and movements are much more freeing.

i wanna know too! i am a dancer and am dying to get the same pointe shoes as such a historical figure in ballet!

mr stahlbaum is clara's dad. i would know cuz i was clara!!

Ballet has been around for a long time, it dates back to the 1400's. This is when the dance masters of this era gave the court society instructions to a proper dancing posture. These people also invented the patterning for the dancers to follow. Ballet has progressed over time and has become more modern over time.

I have chosen the question "is ballet still relevant to dance today" because it is something that I am interested in and something I am wanting to research into. I also wanted to find out more information about the topic, including people's views. I feel that ballet is something that is becoming less popular as more young people want to take part in street dance rather than ballet, this is due to competitions such a Britain's got talent and Got to dance where street dance is being promoted due to acts such as diversity, even though ballet is still watched by millions of people all over the world.

According to questionnaires I have done the people without dance experience think that ballet technique is important in other types of dance styles such as contemporary. I then stated the question "why?" One person said because "when doing ballet you use different muscles which help in other dances." Another person said "people can perform a more expressive dances and it helps with having more flexibility a long with strength."

I also asked them, if they thought that you should learn ballet if doing any other style of dance, one person said that "if they feel that it would help their learning in the other style of dance they were doing then yes."

I also asked people who were/are dance students if they thought ballet technique was important in other styles of dance, all of the questionnaires came back with the answer "yes." I asked them the same question; I asked the non-dancers "why" one person said because it helps with "strength, balance and flexibility" other dancers said because "some of the moves in ballet can cross over into the other dance style" and "because it is a more expressive way of dancing"

Furthermore I asked people if they think people should do ballet when they are learning a different style of dance, and how much knowledge of ballet is needed, people who do different styles of dance, as well as ballet they knew an average amount, because knowing the basics will help in a different dance areas.

People who just do ballet or just did ballet said at when doing any other type of dance you need to know an average amount because the basic movements are used in other types of dance performed today.

Based on all this evidence I have concluded that Ballet is still a relevant part of people's lives. It is also a stem of every other time of dance as just even a single movement crosses over.

usually pink tights, solid color leotard, and sometimes a ballet skirt and legwarmers. Pink or canvas ballet slippers

it was premiered in 1981

you're never too heavy to dance. and weight doesn't really clarify your body composition.

A good balance Well, yes but not just. Here, here's a overview list. * A burning desire, an obsession... to work out, to practice every moment you have. * A really good and inspiring teacher. * A really healthy diet. * A real feel for the music itself. * Lots of strength and flexibility. * A knowledge of the steps, movements, positions and workout overall. If you want to go pro, you have to really love the dance. Even if it doesn't nessicarily love you. ESPECIALLY when it doesn't nessicarily love you.You got to want to spend every moment of your life working on the dance. Loving everything about it. The aches and pains, the injuries... you've got to want to sacrifice it all... just to keep working on the dance, always perfecting your craft even further. And there's always the danger of that one injury that may end your entire career. You may not have time for a college education or a lot of the other experiences of life. So... Martha Graham said it best, "If you have to ask, 'Should I be a dancer?' You should definetely not be one." So... there. THAT'S what it takes.

It is possible to teach yourself how to do pointe, but the real reason ballet teachers don't put you on pointe when you want is because it is extremely dangerous to your body especially your ankles. I know several people you went on pointe when they weren't ready and now they can hardy walk let alone dance.
To tell if your ankles are strong enough to start pointe work is by an x-ray
If the doctor says it is safe to start on pointe you can teach yourself by videos.
GOOD LUCK!!!

hey!

if you go en pointe without being told to by a ballet instructor or/and a dance phsyiotherapist you will most likely injure yourself. going en pointe can be a wonderful or horrible experience. if you take the time to strengthen your legs, ankles, feet and core then you will get en pointe and stay en pointe without injury's. if you go en pointe just because it looks cool and you haven't actually made yourself ready then you could break an ankle, break a toe, damage your knees and completely ruin your feet and dance Carrier for life. you cant replace broken feet. if you want to get en pointe then talk to your dance teacher about pre pointe and maybe you and her can arrange something XD

hope i helped!

Ballet began in France and Russia.

Combre (cohm-bray) forward or back.

In most cases, it is a lovely hand sewed tutu, or it may be a romantic dress with long skirts for the girls. For the men it is always a decorative long sleeved top with just tights as pants.

A soloist dancer doesnt get the main parts but can, they r good. The princibles are the best of the best

Ballet began in the 15th century in Italy with the Lombard school of dance. "Ballo" was the generic name for pantomimed dance. In the 16th century in Florence ballet found a new popularity and was used for all occasions that were celebrated.

Lyrical ballet is like ballet but dancing and feeling the music.

It varies depending on the production. Traditionally, there are 5.
