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.
Ballet has been influential globally and has defined the foundational
techniques which are used in many other dance genres and cultures.
Various schools around the world have incorporated their own cultures.
As a result, ballet has evolved in distinct ways.
A ballet as a unified work comprises the choreography
and music for a ballet production. Ballets are choreographed and
performed by trained ballet dancers. Traditional classical ballets are
usually performed with classical music accompaniment and use elaborate
costumes and staging, whereas modern ballets are often performed in
simple costumes and without elaborate sets or scenery.
