I Love Ballet
Especially the Balanchine Method
Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian
Renaissance in the fifteenth century and later developed into a concert
dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread and
highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary
Of all of the different methods and techniques in the ballet world, the
method created by George Balanchine is perhaps the most recognizable.
With it's open arabesque, deep plies, and often unique port de bras, the
Balanchine method is unmistakable. A
Balanchine performance's swaying hips and minimalist costuming speaks to a
mroe modern neoclassical style of ballet. Some criticise the style, while
other's praise it for the ingenuity and strength it requires. Regardless,
the Balanchine method, sometimes known as the American style, has a
prestigious reputation and is carefully taught.
