Ballet

Ballet is a type of dance that is very graceful and requires lots of practice. It is often performed on a stage in front of an audience. Ballet dancers wear special costumes and shoes to help them make their movements look graceful and beautiful. Ballet dancers usually practice by learning a sequence of steps and combinations of movements. They have to be very strong and have a lot of control over their bodies. Ballet is a very demanding form of dance and it takes a lot of practice and hard work to get good at it. One way to imagine ballet is to think of it as a kind of storytelling. Ballet dancers use their bodies to tell a story, usually with a beginning, middle, and end. A ballet performance might be about a prince and princess falling in love, or a magical forest, or a journey of discovery. Fun Fact: Ballet was invented in the early 1500s in Italy.
