| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ballet is a formalized kind of performance dance, which originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, and was further developed in France, England, and Russia as a concert dance form. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music and has been influential as a form of dance globally. Ballet has been taught in ballet schools around the world, which use their own cultures and societies to improvise the art. It is a poised style of dance that incorporates the foundational techniques for many other dance forms. This book studies this graceful dance form including the classical ballet, the Italian ballet, Balanchine method, and pointe shoes.
