As a child, I loved the ballet. It was the first dance I studied. I switched to modern dance when my family moved from NYC to the suburbs since ballet wasn't offered in my new town. But I never lost my passion for ballet. I have seen many performances of classic ballets, like Swan Lake at Lincoln Center.
I'm surprised it's taken me this long to write about a dancer. But I have in LOVE'S LAST CHANCE.
Today I'm sharing a few fast facts about ballet you might not know.
1) Ballet began in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th and 16th centuries.
2) The word "ballet" comes from the French, but can be traced back to its original source, the Italian, "ballare", meaning to dance.
3) Ballet developed as a performance-focused art form in France during the reign of Louis XIV, who was passionate about dance.
4) The ballerina became the most popular dance performer in Europe in the first half of the 19th century, gradually turning the spotlight away from the male dancer.
