Ballo

The first type of ballet started during the Renaissance time, in Italy, around the 1400's as court ballet. The French adopted ballet and made further development in the late 1400's. French ballet had minimum plot because of rich costumes, scenery, and elaborate effects. Court ballets reached their ending point in 1643-1715 because of King Louis XIV staring in his ballet as the Sun King. In 1661 King Louis XIV established a professional dance registration for what he called "Dancing Masters". That was the start of pro- dancers. The first female dancers started in 1681. They wore hoop skirts, headdress, and tons of make-up. Men wore a knee length hoopskirt, or called a tonnlet. Romantic ballet started in Paris in 1832. Other countries adopted this type dance such as the United States, Russia, and more. In the 1920's and 30's modern dance appeared based on historical ballet. Now we have great variety in this sport.

Ballet represents the beauty and artistic values of mutliple centuries. Originating in France, ballet started out as a way to show off wealth, but has originated into a way to tell a story, or just tell an intricate tale of movement.

Originally, no. Aladdin began as one of the stories in the Arabian "The Book of One Thousand and One Tales" or "Arabian Nights." It was already very famous in Arabia, but was made even more well known all around the world when Disney adapted it into a movie.

Aladdin has been adapted into a ballet as well. Northwest Ballet did an Aladdin. There are probably others in small dance companies around the world. It makes for a good children's production.

Dance lessons and ballet lessons cost about thirty to fifty dollars a lesson. They cost a little more than most people would like but they are well worth the money.

In an introductory ballet class, a ballet bar is used primarily for stretching and keeping balance. While newcomers to ballet are still honing their skills, they may need assistance using the bar.

Basic ballet moves are known as 'positions'. There are five. For example, in first position, the dancer's feet are turned out, with heels touching. In second position the feet are moved apart.

The cost varies from place to place, but it can get quiet expensive.

It can be a Danseur (the french) or a Ballerino (the italian).

There is no lyric to the classical music for the ballet ‘Swan Lake’ by Peter Tchaikovsky. But yes, the show is very beautiful. I join ballet as well and I have watched the ‘Swan Lake’ show many times😁😆

One simple answer: Yes! I strongly advise you to never dance in those particular shoes again!

Anna Pavlova was a Russian dancer, or ballerina.

No, you do grade 6 as well before moving onto inter-foundation and intermediate, then advanced 1 and advanced 2 =)

There is no difference. Water ballet is an old name for synchronized swimming that is not used often.

One player who when young did dance was Shane Williams of Ospreys and Wales Rugby Union - He now is nicknamed twinkle toes by his team mates

Flat ballet shoes were invented first in the 1700's and pointe shoes were later made by the famous dancer Marie Taglioni' father, who wanted to make her a better dancer. Marie was not the first to wear them, but she was the first to use them as technique.
