It is a form of ballet that requires precision and concentration. There are many beautiful cecchetti ballets.

In 1832, the famous ballerina Marie Taglioni was the first to dance a full length ballet (Les Sylphide) en pointe, although her shoes were much different than the pointe shoes used today. They were most like regular ballet shoes, with the ends "darned" or reinforced with extra thread. Most likely, dancers used these pointe shoes before her famous performance, but she is the first to dance a full length ballet in them, and is thus given the credit. Dancers at this time were beginning to jump and turn more than dancers previously, and this required a change in the shoe that they needed. When ballet first appeared, dancers wore a shoe with a heel on it. As ballet technique progressed and became more demanding, the shoe changed as well, to a flat shoe, pleated on the bottom, with ribbons to secure it around the ankle. In Taglioni's day, when dancers were trying to portray ethereal, ghost-like creatures, as in Les Sylphide, the ability to rise on one's toes made them appear to be floating or gliding across the stage. So the pointe shoe evolved because of the demands of ballet, and the needs of the ballerinas dancing those roles.

No. It started in France

People watch ballet for many different reasons. I love to watch it because I'm a ballerina and I enjoy seeing what I can improve upon. Some people watch it because it's like a play, except it takes more concentration to understand because there are no words; you must decipher the story by the music and the movement of the dancers. It's always been a fun activity for "civilized society", but sadly its lost popularity over the years. Hope I answered your question! Go see a ballet or something!

Ballet is a formalized form of dance with its origins in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th and 16th centuries. It quickly spread to the French court of Catherine de' Medici where it was developed even further. In the 17th century at the time of Louis XIV, ballet was codified. The predominance of French in the vocabulary of ballet reflects this history. It also became a form closely associated with the opera. Ballet then spread from the heart of Europe to other nations. The Royal Danish Ballet and the Imperial Ballet of the Russian Empire were founded in the 1740s and began to flourish, especially after about 1850. In 1907 the Russian ballet in turn moved back to France, where the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev and its successors were particularly influential. Soon ballet spread around the world with the formation of new companies, including London's The Royal Ballet (1931), the San Francisco Ballet (1933), American Ballet Theatre (1937), The Australian Ballet (1940), the New York City Ballet (1948), the National Ballet of Canada (1951), and the Delhi Ballet (2002). In the 20th century styles of ballet continued to develop and strongly influence broader concert dance, for example, in the United States choreographer George Balanchine developed what is now known as neoclassical ballet, subsequent developments have included contemporary ballet and post-structural ballet, for example seen in the work of William Forsythe in Germany.

The etymology of the word "ballet" reflects its history. The word ballet comes from French and was borrowed into English around the 17th century. The French word in turn has its origins in Italian balletto, a diminutive of ballo (dance). Ballet ultimately traces back to Latin ballare, meaning "to dance".

Many young girls fall in love with ballet after seeing their first theatrical production of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet. The story of young Clara and the nutcracker that transforms into a prince enchants children with battles between toy soldiers and mice, waltzing flowers and sugarplum fairies who dance upon their toes. When children want to dress up in ballet costumes, it is often this particular ballet that they have in mind.

When it comes to the Nutcracker, there are an abundance of costume options. The Nutcracker, like many of the ballets from the 19th century, includes "divertissement," a suite of dances outside of the main plot of the narrative. In the Nutcracker, the divertissement is presented as entertainment for Clara and her prince, and features dances with international themes. The ballet costumes for each of these divertissement are widely different. The Spanish costume is typically red and black, with a short tutu and an elaborately trimmed bodice. The Arabian costume usually features a short top that exposes the midriff and loose, genie style pants.

Nutcracker productions generally include both types of tutus, the classical, short tutu, and the longer version known as the "romantic tutu." The method for creating both types of tutus is generally the same. Layers of gathered tulle fabric are sewn onto the trunk in rows. Only a few rows are needed for romantic tutus. For the classical style, the length of the layers increase with each row, with the longest on top. This gives the short tutu its stiff, full look.

While female dancers in amateur productions of the Nutcracker may wear a dancer's leotard as the top of a tutu, a classical ballet costume features a bodice specially crafted to expose the dancers neck, arms and shoulders while remaining in place during the rigors of dance. Plastic has replaced the historical use of whalebone to keep the bodice stiffly in place. Bodices are often covered with intricate decoration.

Clara herself is often portrayed in a mid-length nightgown costume, as the Nutcracker is, in the end, the story of a young girl's dream. A ballet costume from the familiar ballet is bound to make any young girl's dream come true.

Beacuse she is a professional ballet dancer.

contemporary dance can use almost any type of music. its all in the way you dance to it. i feel acoustic works really well.

As with any other job, a tennis instructor's salary depends on many factors, such as his/her educational background, experience, locale, etc. Also, there are many variations of tennis instructors, such as a school physical education instructor, college coach, personal/private trainer, etc. As such, there is no way to give a specific number, but, according to "Simply Hired" (a job search website; refer to the link, below), the average tennis instructor pay is USD 23,000 (n.b., that site derives its salary values from job listings specifying such, which excludes all that did not give such a value and, for those that did, it may not be what the person obtaining the job actually received).

Pointe is the art of dancing on the tip of your toes. It is done by using Pointe shoes, which have Pointe ribbons which support the dancers ankles and also the shoes have plaster of Paris in the toes to suppourt her feet. En Pointe takes years of work (as you can guess, I haven't mastered this yet!) ;)

I am 13 and 5'5". I weigh 100 pounds. I have a long torso and short legs...do you think any ballet company would take me for their summer intensives? I am just worried about not having the perfect dance body (short torso, long legs). I have just the opposite :/

A contemporary piece by Christopher Bruce Deals with issues of political prisoners

Fanny Bias was the first "recorded" ballerina to wear pointe shoes in Charles-Louis Didelot's ballet titled Flore et Zephire. Marie Taglioni then went on to make pointe a norm for all ballerinas. Her ballet shoes were flat shoes with a leather pointed toe. Anna Pavlova didn't actually invent the pointe shoe but she did add the leather sole to it to support her high arch. She is credited for making what is most similar to today's modern pointe shoe. I think at one time of her life she wore Capezios... not sure though.

they are like cabinets where they can hold many different items. they can come in many different colors too. some can have drawers and some can have doors.

some may have both doors and drawers. you might see a cupboard in a closet.

the word "cupboards" is plural for the word "cupboard". so "cupboards" would mean more than one cupboard
