Ballet

Ballet is a classical form of dance that started in the courts of Italy during the Renaissance.  Since then, ballet has continued to evolve.  Ballet now includes work from contemporary choreographers, and continues to push the limits.  Classical ballet is still performed and at the highest level is pointe dance (dancing on the toes).  Extraordinary feats of control, balance, strength and flexibility are performed; all while maintaining a fluid and graceful form.  Because of it’s history ballet has a formality in the classroom and a discipline is expected of the students.
