ive never tried ballet but im a guy so it wasnt much of something i cared for
Same here! But, Ballet is a performance dance originating from the Italian Renaissance in the 15ht century
seems like a lot of classics come from italy like instruments and such
Don't forget pizza! But, dance has become much more widespread than Italy. It is a highly technical form of dance with its own terminology, vocabulary, and worldwide styles
yea and its very physically demanding, takes a lot of time and pain to get good
Oh yes. A very well known example is 'The Nutcracker'. It has a musical score by Pyotr Tchaikovsky and is widely known
Thats a massive classic, black swan is also a great example of how cut throat it can be
Oh, yea, I forgot about that one. Ballets are choreographed and performed by trained ballet dancers so...given that nature one mistake can really bring it all down. Talk about anxiety
Yea i can imagine it gets to you, very difficult field
