BALLET     

PERFECT IN PINK

Ballet is a formalized type of dancing in which the performers, through planned movement to accompanying music, present a story or develop an abstract concept. It is an expanded form of lyric theater, and it’s a 400-year old record of invention and performance. Like opera, ballet is a tradition European origin and Renaissance in its ideal of harmonious collaboration between artist-dancers, mimes, choreographers, musicians and designers of costumes and décor. Since World War II ballet has achieved a Renaissance of its own, throughout the world with establishment of national companies or private companies with national identities, supported variously by government.
