Ballet is a European classical dance, which is light, slow and elegant. It originated in the Italian Renaissance, flourished in France in the second half of17th century, and entered the most prosperous era in Russia in the late19th century.
One of the most important features of ballet is that the actress's toes point to the ground during the performance, so it is also called tiptoe dance. Famous ballet works include Swan Lake, Fairy and Nutcracker. Ballet is an anaerobic exercise, and its bodybuilding strength is incomparable to general fitness exercise. The three elements of ballet, opening, stretching and straightening, have the function of shrinking fibers, making people slimmer after training, effectively consuming excess fat in the combination of static and dynamic exercise, and creating physical beauty, thus attracting many lovers.
The word "Ballet" comes from the Italian word "Ballet" and the ancient Latin word "Ballo", and is finally defined by the French word "ballet", which has been in use ever since.
Development history:
At first, ballet was a kind of mass entertainment or square dance in Europe. In the process of development, it has formed a strict norm and a form of deconstruction. Its main feature is that actresses should wear special pointed shoes and stand on tiptoe. As a comprehensive stage art, ballet originated in Italy and was formed in the French court in the17th century.
French court ballet combines singing, dancing, music, recitation and dramatic plot under a unified theme. 16 1 year, French king Louis XIV ordered the establishment of the world's first royal dance school in Paris, which established five basic feet and seven hands for ballet and provided a whole set of movements and systems for ballet movements. These five basic feet have been used to this day.
No matter in the training classroom or on the stage, dancers wear specially designed clothes and training clothes. Although some clothes may change their styles with fashion, for dancers, training clothes are not only for looking good, but each one has its practical function. Tights and tights are the most basic training clothes for dancers. In classical ballet, girls usually wear black tights with pink tights.
Some schools like to let girls wear socks and tights of various colors. Hairstyles are also part of dance costumes. Classical ballet girls like to tie their hair in a bun at the back of their heads, so that the lines of their necks and heads are very clear. Ballet soft shoes are made of soft thin leather or canvas, which are worn by both boys and girls before girls practice their toes. Girls wear pink and boys wear black or white. Shoes should be tightly wrapped around your feet.
