History of Ballet

Ballet is one of the dance arts that expresses human feelings, desires and aspirations since ancient times. This art, like other arts, has gone through many stages that have given it different characteristics and attributes. In the beginning, dancing was an innate or spontaneous art, despite man''s natural ability to perform topics that concern his world, including those related to the relationship between him and the gods and nature. The human being is the main tool that creates movement, which is considered the mainstay of this art and the conveying and expressive means of the human world. Dance is a means of expressing joy, oppression, fertility, drought, hope and despair. Then it changed and developed like the rest of the arts. The development of human stages throughout history had a great influence on the formation and emergence of the various dance arts from one people to another, and these arts grew and reached the peak of their development.
