Ballet Today
The art of ballet hasn't changed much since the 20th century. It remains to be an art of expression, grace, poise, and professional ability. There are many ballet academies all over the world, some more advanced than others, but still teaching the dance that so many of us are familiar with. Ballet really transformed through the earlier centuries. Once a dance meant only for men and entertainment now evolved into a highly expression-based, passionate, and beautiful art.
The major difference from ballet now and ballet in the past is how children's roles now play a huge part in ballet performances, and not just amateurs. Children are now able to perform in professional ballet productions along-side Prima ballerinas and men. They are able to experience the true art of dance at an up-close level. It is amazing how talented some children are in the dance, as well, and what their futures in the art hold.
