This week,i'm going to share something about ballet dance.Actually,i not really sure about ballet,and i not even a ballet dancer,but i have asked my friend and find some information from the website to find out what is all about the ballet dance.Ballet is a kind of perofrmance dance,which is originated in the Italian.However,ballet dance was further developed in France,England,and Russia as a concert dance form.Last time,i went and saw my friend ballet concert.The impress that she gave me was the most memorable ballet dance performance.It is a beautifully dance which performed to music to entrances people.The light,set workers,designers and many other people behind the scenes work togther to make the ballet a perfection."The Nutcracker"has got to be one of the most memorable of all ballet performances in the concert.I like that part very much.There are three common type of ballet dance which is classical ballet,Neoclassical ballet and Contemporary ballet.

Classical ballet is the most methodical of the ballet styles.It adheres to traditional ballet technique.Classical ballet adheres to these rules,


Everything is turned out.


When the feet are not on the floor,they are pointed.


When the leg is not bent,it is stretched completely.


Posture,alignment,and placement are vital.

Contemporary ballet is a form of dance influenced by both classical ballet and modern dance.Many of its concepts come from the ideas and innovations of 20th century modern dance,including floor work and turn-in of the legs.
