Ballet
 

Where did Ballet start?

 

Ballet originated in Renaissance Italy when a young girl started to dance in the King's courts.

 

In Renaissance France, the art formalized and the French claimed it as its own.

 

Most of the language used in this style of dance is French.

 

This video clip shows a young girl performing a ballet solo. This is a clip from the 1980 movie 'Fame'. The girl in Fame is called Hilary and is portrayed by Antonia Franchesci.
