GOING TO THE BALLET

What to wear

Ballet does not have a dress code. Some patrons wear jeans while others are dressed in tuxedos and ball gowns. While matinees tend to be more casual, opening night performances are usually more formal. It can get very cold in theaters so make sure to wrap up or bring a jacket.

How to Prepare

Check the time and allow for traffic, weather, and parking issues. You won’t get seated until the correct break in the performance if you are running behind. This could be intermission. This is to ensure that magic doesn’t get lost among a constant stream of latecomers.

It all started here

Over a millennium, ballet has changed. Although ballet’s movements are French, they are actually Italian. Ballet was originally created to entertain the Italian nobility. It was at its height in France under Louis XIV.

The first ballets were similar to today’s. They used dance to tell stories and recreate mythological events using music and movement. This was the inspiration for a whole art form.

Ballet Language

Louis XIV’s personal master of ballet, established the first ballet as a system of movement. Over time, ballet poses and positions became more familiar in French. Even though they don’t know French, dancers can follow any class anywhere in the world.
