As spectacular as ballet dancing is, we can’t help but to wonder where it originated from. During the Renaissance period, the arts and the interest in learning about them grew at a speedy pace. Dukes were constantly competing with one another by putting on expensive performances, and showcasing talented dancers. According to historians, the first official ballet, Comique de la Reine, was performed in 1581 at a royal wedding in France.
The performance lasted for five and a half hours. The concept of ballet swept the globe, and commonly, we see romantic tones through a ballet performance. This idea of using ballet to express romance originated from ballets that told the stories of Greek mythology. A very interesting concept about why ballet was introduced was to propagate female importance, since this new form of artistic expression granted women a greater role, as the male dancers are utilized to lift the female dancers.
The artistic director is responsible for the overall production of a ballet. They use their knowledge and experience to combine all elements, including the music, costumes and scenery. They will coordinate the movements of all the performers to blend them together as one. A ballet can be performed by either an individual performer or a group of performers. Often times, one ballet dance will encompass several types of emotions throughout the production. A production can range from a dramatic tragedy, a whimsical flight of fancy, to a heartwarming love story.
Joining a ballet dance class at an early age is a great start. Remember, you will have hard work ahead of you and you will need to allow plenty of time for practice on a weekly basis. Usually, the hard work will pay off by the time you reach your early twenties. At that point, if you have been practicing since an early age, you should be able to take your dance to the next level. If ballet is a dance that you are considering, then be prepared for the strenuous physical demands that come with it.
