Romantic Ballet-Kelsey Poole


Romantic ballet is a type of dance that appeals to the five senses. When you think of romantic ballet, you should think of the supernatural, which is the theme of most of the ballets in this time period. Ballet used to be a male dominated art form, but with the development of Corps de Ballet, it shifted the focus to females. It gave women a career field and gave them a chance to be equal with men in several different ways. The use of pointe shoes was introduced in the Romantic ballet era to give the appearance of floating. The tutu was very different from tutus today. The romantic tutu was mad of several layers of tulle and hit at knee length.
