Ballet

In the 1800's through the early 1900's ballet has been a legacy. Going to famous ballets was like going to the movie theater today except much more luxurious. The beautiful music and hardworking, mesmorizing dancers could lull anyone into a dreamy trance. This was the "thing" at that age. It was like facebook. Everyone dreamed of going to ballets and seeing the perfomers. Unfortuneately our cutlure has now turned to dirty rap videos and pop sensations while ballet has faded. In particular studios (mine for example) we still carry this legacy because we're aware of the decline in the popularity of classical ballet. Our motive is to inspire and reteach the public of how Balanchine, Cecchetti, and so many other amazingly famous choreographers lulled our culture in to the era of elegant, classical ballet.

To start a ballet class you will need dance clothes(usually a leotard and tights but they differ with teachers) ballet shoes either leather satin or canvas(preferences differ with teacher as well) a dance bag to keep your things in and most importantly an open mind and willingness to learn!

sneakers, ballet flats, but no flip flops

The most common skirt that is associated with the ballet is a "tutu."

Yes, swans are smart.

No, they are separate entities and genres of Art. That's not to say that there might not have been a ballet dancer on the act in a Vaudeville show; there probably was.

Vaudeville was like a 'variety show': music, a comic, juggling, the dance troupe, etc...

All humans can become a dancer if they have the skill. But not all dancers can become a human.

Any body can do it; male or female; young or old! So give it a try! x its really fun masculine word

in french, the et ending means masculine

if it were ballette, it would be feminine

Age-wise, if you've been dancing since you were small, you can go en pointe when you are around 11 after at least 3-4 years of training. If you are older and take at least 2 classes a weak and develop very strong technique, you can go en pointe in as little as 2 years. However, you should always consult a teacher before doing so because they can properly evaluate your strength so that you don't injure yourself.

Yes, a performing art.

actually, it could be. it just depends. if you're just learning for the first time and you're like .. 15, you're going to be a little less educated (obviously) but what it depends on is if you've never cheered before then you try out for the freshman squad in highschool... chances are you're not going to make it. because you get certain points for like- how high your toe touches are and how well you tumble. and if you cant throw a good backhandspring, don't count on being on JV. at least that's how it is at our hs. now if you just joined a competitive cheer squad, for your town, that's different. although, you'd probably be very behind compared to the other cheerleaders you should be working with.

Well, you probably have just yomped 15 miles on Duke of Edinborough. It is going to get worse before it gets better, go back to bed. Bad fitting shoes. Cheap shoes will certainly bother your feet in time. Runners make your feet perspire and can make them burn as can patent leather shoes. Wearing nylons can make your feet slip inside shoes and make your feet hot. If your back is out this can also put out one leg and you sometimes will favor the good leg make you walk differently and causing pain. Use Epsom Salts in hot water and soak feet for 20 minutes to half an hour. because you loco

Definitly a chasse, and for the record pirouette means to turn...so it's not a type of turn. just sayin'.

Practice.

Fouette turns are done in one stationary position, and pique turns are usually done travelling. Also, in a fouette turn, the working leg does not ever touch the ground, whereas the working leg in a pique turn goes down to the floor between each turn. They are two completely different turns, but these are some basic differences. Also, fouettes are much more difficult, haha.

many people got together and invinted the swing dance in 1912

no

The costumes on bird song dont distract the audience from the dance, which is what Siobhan Davies wanted. They allow complete ease of movement perfect for the contempory dance of Siobhan Davies.
