Private lessons with top Ballet instructors
The art of ballet is practiced in countries around the world, influencing dance and culture for centuries. Famous ballets such as The Nutcracker are performed for large audiences to this day.
Ballet is centuries old, first originating in the Italian Renaissance period before developing into a concert dance form in France and Russia. Due to its widespread practice, ballet has developed into a highly technical dance with its own particular vocabulary. Along with this, ballet has served as a foundation for many of the dance styles that have evolved over the years.
