What is Ballet?
Ballet is a highly technical form of performance dance, characterized by precise, formalized steps and gestures, often telling a story or expressing emotion through movement.
Ballet is known for its grace, athleticism, and the use of specific vocabulary and techniques, including turns, jumps, and dancing en pointe (on the tips of the toes).
