The origin of ballet

Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance and then spread to France, becoming an elegant art form characterized by classical ** and beautiful dancing.

Originating from Ballet in the Renaissance, it was originally a dance form called "ballet". Previously, "ballet" referred to dancers in mass dances or symbolic dances, rather than a specialized form of dance. The Italians created a new form of dance drama, which perfectly combined the artistic elements of dance, drama, singing, calligraphy, painting and sculpture, which is called "ballet history".

This dance form later developed into ballet. Shirt buried paulownia.

The aesthetic characteristics of ballet are open, tight, straight, upright, light, accurate, stable and beautiful.

Ballet (Italian: balletto; French, English: ballet), is a European classical dance, one of the most important characteristics of ballet is that the actress is on tiptoe when performing, so it is also called toe dance.

Ballet is the use of ** and dance techniques to perform dramatic plots.

Ballet was born in the Italian Renaissance in the 14th century, born in the French court of Louis XIV in the late 17th century, and began to develop popularity and gradually professionalism in France, perfected in France in the 18th century, and entered the most prosperous era in Russia at the end of the 19th century.

In the course of nearly 500 years of lasting historical growth, ballet has had a great influence on the countries of the world, and has spread widely, and has become an art form in which all countries in the world have grown with all their might.

A form of stage dance, known as European classical dance, commonly known as ballet. Muqing is a traditional European dance art formed on the basis of folk dances from all over Europe, after several centuries of continuous processing, enrichment and development, and has strict norms and structural forms. After the 19th century, an important feature of technology was that actresses wore special pointe shoes and danced with the tips of their toes.

Ballet Forms:

Originally, dance drama specifically referred to the theatrical art that used European classical dance as the main means of expression, integrated **, pantomime, stage art, and literature to express a story or a plot, called classical ballet (or classical dance drama).

After the emergence of modern dance in the 20th century, modern ballet is called modern ballet with modern dance combined with classical dance techniques as the main means of expression to express the content or plot of the story. Gradually, the term ballet was also used to refer to a variety of other dance productions that used various other dances as the main means of expression, although they differed from classical or modern ballet in terms of dance style, structural characteristics, and expression.

The aesthetic characteristics of ballet are as follows:

First, the overall openness.

The openness of ballet as a whole is mainly reflected by "open", "tight" and "straight". This is in contrast to the "circle" presented in classical Chinese dance as a whole.

"Open" usually refers to a symmetrical opening of the shoulders, chest, hips, knees, and ankles to both sides of the body. People stand in their daily lives, with their toes facing forward; In ballet, the outward opening of the thighs must be turned outward from the hip joint, and the toes of the two feet must be opened in the direction of the ears, that is, 180 degrees. And in any movement, the legs and feet are always open to the sides; Whether it's spinning, jumping, kicking, or standing.

There are five positions of the outward open foot, which are called one, two, three, four, and five.

"Tension" usually refers to the tension from the calf through the ankle, the instep to the toe, in a straight line. In ballet, any movement off the ground, such as leg lifts, jumps, walks, etc., should be straightened from the calves to the toes. Therefore, when selecting ballet students, there are also strict requirements for the natural conditions of the feet.

"Straight", that is, starting from the neck through the back, waist, knee joints to the ankles, must be straight, and try to lengthen the body as much as possible. Unless there is an action that requires bending the legs, bending over, or hooking the feet, it is necessary to keep it straight during the movement or march. In doing so, the lines of the limbs are maximized, making them appear slender, straight and stableThe limbs also appear well-proportioned and harmonious, adding to the beauty.

Second, the arc of the arm is round.

Ballet requires the arms to be curved from the shoulders through the elbows, wrists and fingertips. There are seven types of hand positions, all of which remain arced. Even if the arm is straight, it should not be straight, but should be slightly bent.

This seems to be the opposite of the overall "opening and straightening". And no matter what you do, including large jumps, turns, etc., your arms are always loose and soft. This curved arm posture is combined with straight leg movements for a stable and graceful feel.

His representative works include "Swan Lake", "The Fairy", "The Nutcracker" and so on.

One of the most important characteristics of ballet is that the actress points to the ground with her toes when performing, so it is also called pointe dance.

Ballet is the use of ** and dance techniques to perform dramatic plots. The art of ballet was born in Italy in the 17th century after the French court of Louis XIV, perfected in France in the 18th century, and entered its most prosperous era in Russia at the end of the 19th century.

In the course of nearly 400 years of lasting historical growth, ballet has had a great influence on the countries of the world, and has spread very widely, and has become an art form that all countries in the world have grown up with all their might.
