About ballet

Ballet is a type of dance that was created during the Italian Renaissance in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Later on it got further developed and became a concert dance in countries like Russian and France. Since then ballet has transformed into a global phenomenon with millions of people practicing it around the world and it has defined the foundations of many other dance types and genres.

Ballet is usually accompanied by classical music and specific costumes. Depending on where you are in the world different schools have added their own touch to the dance. This has made small but distinct changes on how it is performed depending on where you are around the world.

What are the benefits of learning ballet?

There are plenty of reasons to motivate you to learn ballet. First of all, it’s great for your body and your health. Although it may look like a very delicate and graceful dance style, ballet actually requires a lot of physical preparation.

So learning ballet will definitely improve your physique. Not only that but it also helps with posture.

Furthermore, ballet is a great way to improve your communication skills and meet new people. Classes are usually held in groups of people which will give you the chance to meet new people with similar interests. On top of that, you’ll also learn how to communicate better. Ballet is an affectionate dance that aims to tell a story without any words. You will have to learn how to communicate emotion through your body and movements.
