Introduction: Ballet dance is a new dance genre formed in19th century, with a history of about 500 years. In fairy tales, ballet dance always gives people a beautiful and dreamy artistic conception, all of which stems from the unique style and characteristics of ballet dance. What are the styles and characteristics of ballet dance?
In fact, classical ballet can be divided into romanticism and classicism. The former is 17 and 18 century ballet Giselle. The latter refers to19th century dance dramas, such as Swan Lake. The obvious difference between the two is that dancers wear different dance clothes. The classical dance costume is a tulle skirt, called a classical ballet skirt, and the dancing shoes are soft. The romantic dance skirt is between the knee and ankle, which is called romantic ballet skirt. The dance shoes are hard and convenient for dancers to stand upright.
In addition, classical ballet can be divided into fast dance and slow dance according to action. Fast dance was born in Italy, and its biggest feature is jumping and spinning. It refers to the dance in which male dancers and female dancers dance with fast-paced music, and all lively, fast and gorgeous dances belong to it. Slow dance, which was born in France, is the biggest feature of French dance. Dancers use slow movements to balance their bodies, or stand on one foot to form elegant curves. This dance is called slow dance. This dance is full of slender beauty.
In classical ballet, slow dance is usually used to express the love scenes between men and women, such as the slow dance between the princess and the prince in the second act of Swan Lake. Slow dance is basically a female dance, and male dancers are just a foil for female dancers. For female dancers, it is nothing more than an excellent opportunity to show their dancing skills and graceful curves, and what is more important at this time is to show their body balance.
Nowadays, although fast dance and slow dance are used interactively, we can still distinguish the gorgeous Italian school from the romantic temperament of France according to their emphasis.
