Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated in the Italian Renaissancecourts of the 15th
century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and
Russia. It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with
its own vocabulary based on
French terminology.
It has been globally influential and has defined the foundational techniques used in many other
dance genres.
Ballet may also refer to a
ballet dance work, which consists of
the choreography
and music for a ballet
production. Ballet dance works are choreographed and performed by trained
artists. It is only done by dancers who have had special training. The dancers are
employed by a dance company, and they perform in theatres. Ballet involves the
creation of the dance itself, often a type of imaginary story. The story is
told with the help of dance and mime. The creation of dance is called choreography. The choreography is
learnt by the dancers under the supervision of a trainer, called a ballet
master or mistress. Ballet is always performed to music, and in many cases
the music was specially composed for a particular ballet. Ballet is a major
part of theatre, and a popular example is The Nutcracker. Ballet has been
taught in ballet schools around the world, which have historically used their
own cultures to evolve the art.
