Beginning from the Mystical of Italy and France

Classical Italy and Characteristiques France..

Italy..
Italian ballet is a term used to describe the training methods and aesthetic qualities seen in classical ballet in Italy.Italy has a long history with ballet, and it's widely believed that the earliest predecessor of the modern dance form originated in the Italian courts of the Renaissance, before becoming popularised in France.Today, Italian ballet recognised for two leading methods, the Cecchetti method, devised by Enricho Cecchetti and the training system of the La Scala Theatre Ballet School,the country's most prestigious professional ballet school. 



France..
French school of ballet,French style.. is characterized by an emphasis on precision, elegance, and sobriety.
Mega-star dancer & choreographer Rudolph Nureyev choreographed re-worked versions of the great academic classic ballet (such as "La Bayadère", "Swan Lake", "Romeo and Juliet", "Raymonda", "Cinderella", "The Sleeping Beauty"), and directed the Paris Opera Ballet. His artistic direction was extremely strong, and he formed and named a whole generation of young principals ("Etoiles"), called the Nureyev Babies. Since that time the French school has turned into the Nureyev school, with his very idiosyncratic style, based on all the steps that Nureyev himself excelled at. Great speed and quantity of steps, necessitating the music to be played slower are characteristic of his style. This influence lasts from the 1980s to the 2000s, when it's just starting to wane, as the Nureyev Babies retire. 
 
 Don't u know why men join ballet??it's because..
Louis XIV had founded the Académie Royale de Danse in 1661 in France, when, at the time, ballet dance was restricted to men.
