THE HISTORY OF BALLET
Ballet, or so we call it today began around the year 1500.
When Cathrine de Medici of Italy married king Henry ii, she introduced the style of dance to the French.
In these days dancers wore long formal dresses and heeled shoes, very diffrent from the ones we may recognise today.
The dances consisted of little twirls, hops, glides and curtsies.
