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)
