In the last post I told you about me and what my topic is. Now I have not figured out what kind of project that I am going to do yet. But, now I am going to tell you about ballet. Ballet is the kind of dance that a lot of us wish we could mimic, given the way the dancers glide over the dance floor, often a dance that portrays a story or idea. This dance was developed in France and Russia. Classical ballet is the most formal and common style of ballet. Apart from this, there is Neoclassical ballet and Contemporary ballet.

There are five different types that I can think of right out of my head Vaganova, Cecchetti, Royal Academy of Dance, Balanchine, and Bournonville. Im going to tell you the ways they are different.Vaganova is mostly refered to Russian ballet. Its style is about continuous flow of movement rather than isolation of certain body parts.
Cecchetti favors clean lines and precise technigue, preferring a simpler style of ballet that focuses on the basics rather than all the other attractive bells and ribbons.
Royal Academy of Dance is the system of learning took the best elements of both the Cecchetti and Vaganova systems and fused them together to create a more rounded dancer who has a solid technique yet can be gentle and express emotions through their dancing.
Balanchine which is a modern technique mostly studied in America. Modern dance involves the use of many dance steps that are unusual and often interpret a dancer's emotions and mood. The dancer in this case typically performs on bare feet. In Modern dance, it's not only the choreography that speaks about the emotions to be conveyed. The lighting, costumes and props are used with great creativity to arrange interesting and unusual dance sequences. Balanchine was named after George Balanchine, one of the most famous Russian choreographers of the 20th century.
Bournonville is an almost forgotten style that refers to a very classical type of ballet which told Danish folklore tales.
