Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in the fifteenth century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread and highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary.

Ballerinas have to perform to the best of their abilities in front of the judges. You can perform your song and dance, however it must be performed through the various styles that are given in ballet. Each judge will score up to 100 points based on the following: technique, performance, musicality/timing, and choreography. With three judges, each contestant can get as high as 300 points.

There are three different ranks in ballet which are corps de ballet, soloist, and principle.

• Corps de ballet is a beginner rank. This is where most professionals start out. These dancers usually are in the big group dances, working together as one unit. They tend to do the same choreography but in unison. Corps de ballet literally means the “body” of the ballet company.
• Soloist is a middle rank. If the artistic director sees that a dancer in the Corps de ballet really shines and excels technically, he or she may promote the dancer to the Soloist level. This dancer will get leading solo roles that show off their abilities.
• Principle is the highest level a dancer can reach. A dancer can be promoted to principal dancer if they have top-notch technical ability and can combine that with beautiful artistry. That means they have to have great acting skills. A dancer is playing a role like an actor would in a play or a movie. They also have to connect with the audience. They can’t just be technically perfect, their movements also have to communicate emotions and ideas to the audience. The principal dancer gets the most important roles.

Ballet dancers need leotards, tights, skirts, tutus and pointe shoes in order to perform. Ballet really doesn’t have a lot as far as equipment. Traditional ballet classes use ballet barres, full length mirrors on the walls, and a floor that is supportive and geared toward ballet dancing (one that is not too slick or too sticky).
