Types Of Ballet Dance


There are 5 types of ballet:
- Vaganova (What most refer to as Russian ballet. Its style is about continual flow of movement rather than isolation of certain body parts.)
- Cecchetti (Cecchetti favors clean lines and precise technique, preferring a simpler style of ballet that focuses on the basics rather than all the other attractive ribbons and bells)
- Royal Academy of Dancing (This system of learning took the best elements of both the Cecchetti and Vaganova systems and fused them together to create a more rounded dancer who has a solid technique yet can be gentle and express emotions through their dancing)
- Balanchine (A modern technique mostly studied in America)
- Bournonville (An almost all but forgotten style that refers to a very classic type of ballet which told Danish folklore tales)
