Apollo's Angels, A History of Ballet
Apollo's Angels,
A History of Ballet

Ballet, which originated in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century French courts, is a formalized type of performance dance, accompanied with classical orchestral music.

The French word “ballet” is related to the Italian balletto and ballo, has its roots in the Latin ballare, and the Greek ballizo, “to dance”.

Traditional ballet techniques and principles include proper posture and lifting the muscles to increase “turnout”, quantity and quality of turns, and proper alignment, posture, pointing the toe, and flexibility. Ballet requires great physical fitness and athletic ability.

There are several methods of ballet instruction, usually named after the person who developed the method: Bournonville, Vaganova, Cecchetti, Royal Ballet School and Royal Academy of Dance, Balanchine.
