Ballet

History

Ballet is a type of performance dance that was originated in the Italian Renaissance court in the 15th Century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia.

Ballet requires years of training to learn and master and much practice.

Etymology

the word ballet comes from the French and was borrowed into English around 1630, the French word in turn has its origin in Italian balleto, a diminutive ballo (dance).

Which comes from latin ballo, ballare meaning to dance, which in turn comes from the greek (ballizo) to dance jump about.

I like this video because this ballerina (Sara Mearns) dances very well this interpretation.

Sara Mearns

Sara Mearns born in Columbia who until recently was just another dan­cer in the New York City Bal­let corps. On Janu­ary 14, she was handed a rare oppor­tun­ity: to dance the dif­fi­cult dual role of Odette/Odile in Peter Martins’s ver­sion of Swan Lake. Mearns’s eleg­ant rendi­tion radi­ated com­pos­ure and a lumin­ous depth, but her cast­ing didn’t come as a sur­prise to those who had wit­nessed her in Chopini­ana and as the Lilac Fairy in The Sleep­ing Beauty at the 2003 School of Amer­ican Bal­let Work­shop Per­form­ances. A few days after her Swan Lake debut, Mearns who began train­ing at 3 years in Columbia, South Carolina discussed her remark able experience at the New York State Thea ter.

My hobby & I

I like it because I’ve danced  ballet since 3 years and I really like the costume because it is very beautiful and very elegant, I love dancing and ballet practice at home and while the costumes are very beautiful when the doors points (special shoes) the first shock does something bad I still like the ballet.
