FAQ About The Evolution of Classical Ballet into Modern Interpretations
What is the difference between classical and modern ballet?
Classical ballet is rooted in traditional, structured forms characterized by technical precision, strict positions, and specific attire such as tutus and pointe shoes. Modern ballet, on the other hand, embraces a more fluid and expressive style, often incorporating diverse influences from other dance genres like jazz, contemporary, and even street dance. Modern ballet also tends to prioritize individual expression and often features more abstract and thematic performances.
