Ballet

I used to do ballet when I was younger but I quit after two years which I now regret! Ballet is a type of preformance dance that orginiated during the Itialian Renaissance in the 15th century . The first ballet school was opened in 1661, the first ballet school was opened Louis XIV. Suprisingly, only men were allowed to dance ballet until 1681 when finally women were allowed join! The most commonly danced ballet is classical. Classical ballet is often danced on point. Here are a couple of classical ballet rules: 
1: A step called a 'plié' is often used and is where both legs are bent at the same time.

2: Everything should be completely turned out i.e feet
3: When legs are not bent they should be completely straight or put behind in a semi classical position.
