5 Fun Facts About Ballet

1. Ballet’s Ancient Origins Ballet started in Italy over 500 years ago! It began in the Renaissance courts before evolving into the art form we know today.

2. Incredible Strength Male ballet dancers are incredibly strong and can lift over 1.5 tons of ballerinas in a single performance. That’s like lifting a small car!

3. Pointe Shoe Power A professional ballerina can go through 2-3 pairs of pointe shoes in a single week. The shoes break down quickly from the intense demands of professional dancing.

4. The Tutu Truth The word “tutu” comes from a French children’s word for “bottom.” Who knew such an elegant garment had such a playful name!

5. Foundation of Five The “five basic positions” of the feet are the foundation for all ballet moves. Every grand jeté and pirouette starts with these fundamental positions.

A Mini Ballet Dictionary for Kids

Help young dancers learn the language of ballet with these essential terms:

Plié (plee-AY): To bend. This basic movement involves bending the knees while keeping the back straight.

Pirouette (peer-oo-ET): To whirl or spin. Dancers balance on one foot while turning in a controlled rotation.

Arabesque (a-ra-BESK): A pose where the dancer stands on one leg with the other leg extended behind them, creating a beautiful line.

Barre (bar): The wooden handrail used during ballet warm-ups and practice exercises.

En Pointe: Dancing on the tips of the toes using special pointe shoes – the ultimate goal for many ballet students!
