Ballet

The most comprehensive strength and conditioning programs for dancers is 'Pilates'. Joesph Pilates developed this form of exercise on dancers so you can trust that it will have great effect.

Ballet started in the 15th Century in the Renaissance court of Italy. The earliest references I can find to "Ballet" refer to Roman times when even then, it is thought to have originated with the Greek Tragedies. Like most other art forms, it was lost during the Middle Ages and revived again during the Renaissance period. I suspect that the question refers to "Classical Ballet". J S Bach (1685-1750) was a prolific composer, but did write anything labelled specifically as a "Ballet", although many modern ballet companies perform ballet to Bach's music, such as the Canata's which are essentially a Psalm or other religious text set to music. W A Mozart (1756-1791) wrote music for ballets specifically. My assumption being that "Classical Ballet" appeared between the death of Bach and the rise of Mozart. Somebody of superior subject knowledge may be able to correct or clarify my assumption.

i think the best known forms of ballet are chachetti, and russian.

by 'ballerinas' do you mean ballet dancers? ballerina is the title given to only the princable dancer in the company.

there are students who are train at a ballet academy or train as apprentices at a professional company. there are soloists, who get to play parts like the 'blue bird' in sleeping beauty which have solo dances. and there are ballerinas, ballerinos (male princables) and prima ballerina. (sometimes there are more then one ballerina in the one company so one dancer is named the prima ballerina. a great honour)

hope this answered your question!

The term "ballerina" is based off the word "ballet", with the suffix "-ina". "-ina" is a feminine suffix; note names such as "Katrina", "Sabrina", etc. Thus the term "ballerina" means simply "girl who does ballet".

There are several ballet syllabuses. There is the French school, Vaganova (Russian), Cechetti (Italian), Royal Academy of Dance (English), and Bournoville (Danish). Some consider Balanchine technique a syllabus, and others just consider it a style.

Hi, I am a ballet dancer and many people have what is known as a "long island toe". It really depends on how good your arch is but i would recommend freeds, mirella, chaccotts, the rubins by Russian pointe, bloch, or capezio.
