The basic impression of ballet is:
1. Female dancers wear dresses with skirts.
2. Stories based on fairy tales, legends or myths are usually used as plots.
3. The music is mostly dance music or even famous songs, especially Tchaikovsky's ballet suite.
4. The male dancers often assist the female dancers in making beautiful technical movements.
In fact, there is a distinction between romantic and classical ballet. The former refers exclusively to the nineteenth-century dance drama, such as "Swan Lake". The latter is the seventeenth and eighteenth century dance drama "Giselle". The more obvious difference between the two is that the dancers wear different dance costumes, the classical school of dance costumes for the gauze skirt, known as classical tutu [1], dance shoes softer texture; and the romantic school of the dance skirt is as long as between the knee and ankle, known as romantic tutu [2], dance shoes for the hard type, easy to rip the dancer.
In addition, classical ballet can be divided into fast dance and slow dance according to the movement. Fast dance was born in Italy, the most characteristic is jumping and spinning, which refers to the dance of male and female dancers dancing with the rapid music, and all the lively, rapid and gorgeous dances belong to it. Slow dance was born in France, is the biggest feature of French dance, dancers with slow movements, or to balance the body with a single foot support, constitute an elegant curve of the dance steps and dance, etc. are known as slow dance, this dance is full of delicate beauty.
