Neoclassical Ballet~
Neoclassical ballet is like Balanchine. Lines are elongated, and the square, although important, is distorted at times. Also, movements go out of the typical classical ballet vocabulary. Balanchine experimented with different geometrical shapes. Some of his ballet had a story line, others didn't, and some were choreographed around an idea, or just the music.
Neoclassical ballet is the style of 20th century classical ballet exemplified by the works of George Balanchine. It draws on the advanced technique of 19th century Russian Imperial dance, but strips it of its detailed narrative and heavy theatrical setting. What is left is the dance itself, sophisticated but sleekly modern, retaining the pointe shoe aesthetic, but eschewing the well upholstered drama and mime of the full length story ballet.
