Ballet

More than 300 years ago with the combination of dance, music and mime, began a form of dance called the Ballet. It was originally performed only by men and it was only in the late 17th century that women began performing ballet. In this form of dance each movement is planned’ in advance with the flow of music, this planning is called choreography. Ballet dancers wear special shoes which have blocked toes, this allows them to walk and dance on their toes. Balancing on the toes is called Pointe work and requires a lot of skill Ballet dancers practice for years before they are able to perfect this skill.

Ballet dancing has changed over the years,  in the beginning f the 20th century dancers of the classical style, like Isadora Duncan, beg n dancing in a more informal and natural style. This was the beginning of the Modern ballet. Over the years more ballet dancers and choreographers studied the movements of the classical ballet and adapted it to the modern ballet. One of the greatest Ballerinas was Anna Pavlova  who was born in Russia, in 1881.
