Romantic ballet, also known as "white skirt ballet", is named after its main images such as fairies, ghosts and elves. Most of them wear knee-length white veils. The use of this white veil is helpful to embody the elegant aesthetic ideal in romantic ballet. With the changes of history, from romantic ballet to classical ballet and then to modern ballet, the trend of "shortening" the costumes of female ballet stars has been formed, and the requirements for their body lines and proportions are constantly upgrading.
During the romantic ballet period, "tiptoe dance" appeared, and the famous French dancer George Novell put forward a set of revolutionary theories, which combined "dance" with "drama"-thus "dance drama" appeared. Due to skill, image and a set of related aesthetic ideals, the tiptoe dance has matured in the romantic ballet period, and its core position in the history of ballet development has been established.
During the romantic ballet period, the war and cruelty in reality not only did not extinguish people's longing for a better life, but also prompted artists of this genre to create a large number of immortal works, such as Fairy, Giselle, Gloria and Sylvia. The main feature of these works is to express the mysterious natural realm and convey people's ideals that are difficult to realize in the secular space. They are strongly lyrical and imaginative, and most of these works end in tragedy.
During the romantic ballet period, a large number of outstanding dancers emerged, such as Philippe Tarioni. Through careful training and tailor-made choreography, Tarioni and "Fairy" created a new era of "white skirt ballet", making the light toe dance and elegant knee-length skirt become the dance images that ballet actresses must respect in future generations. Little Tarioni was not a particularly harmonious child when he was a child. When she learned the extraordinary beauty of ballet from her father, she worked overtime every day until she could not move. Her efforts made her a great success!
