Ballet

Ballet is an academic dance form and technique that is taught in ballet schools according to specific methods. There are many ballet schools around the world that specialize in various styles of ballet and offer different techniques. Works of dance choreographed using this technique are called ballets, and usually include dance, mime, acting, and music (usually orchestral but occasionally vocal). Ballet is best known for its unique features and techniques, such as pointe work, turn-out of the legs; its graceful, flowing, precise movements; and its ethereal qualities.
