Passion of the Modern Classique Ballet

Modern and Classic..
seem it's almost same..
but deep inside they're different..
although they're different..they have a unity..

well..this is some references..
Classical Ballet..

Classical Ballet is the most formal of the ballet styles, it adheres to traditional ballet technique. There are variations relating to area of origin, such as Russian ballet, French ballet, British ballet and Italian ballet. The Vaganova method, named after Agrippina Vaganova, the Cecchetti method, named after Enrico Cecchetti and the Bournonville method, named after Auguste Bournonville are Russian, Italian and Danish respectively and derive from the original French method.

Classical ballet is best known for its unique features and textures, such as pointe work,turn-out of the legs, and high extensions; its graceful, flowing, precise movements; and its ethereal qualities.

and this is the result of their difference..

Think of classical ballet as keeping your body like a box. You have a range of motion, but there is a line of what is acceptable, and what is not in classical ballet. There is a set technique such as Vaganova, Cechetti, R.A.D., and some people will consider Balanchine in there (but I don't agree. I think of him more as neoclassical) In addition, classical ballet usually conjures up images of Petipa ballets and the romantic ballet. 

For modern ballet, you still have that box, but now you're allowed to go out of it. You still return to the box, but the traditional ballet lines can be distorted and stretched in different ways. The hips do no always have to be directly under the shoulders and the arms can differ. Think the famous Forsythe ballet "In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated"
