== Intro ==
== Ballet is tough ==


Basically every day I would have to take 3 hours of ballet. There is a good reason why I quit.
I removed the following piece:

:It incorporates alignment, flexibility, exercises, and center work in a disciplined curriculum. Typical ballet classes consist of a barre and center work; more advanced classes include adagio, petit allegro, and grande allegro sections.
Reasons: (a) a piece was put by an anonim into an arbitrary place, out of logic flow of the article. (b) Even if the phrase is correct, it is full of terminology and useless: both experts and ignorants learn nothing. [[User:Mikkalai|Mikkalai]] 22:16, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC)

If you were talking about women the way you talk about ballet, you would hear from thousands of angry women. It lacks sensibility, and shows no concern for the person that doesnt know anything about ballet, and knowing the realibility of wikipedia checks it there, and what a fiasco.

:should there be a page for ballets (ballet dances)? this page needs more information and links to the various aspects of ballet such as ballet lessons, history, choregraphers etc etc [[User:Ohka-|Ohka-]] 23:14, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

::I think there should be a page for ballets. I'm working on it... so far I've done Romantic and Neoclassical Ballet, so I hope to see feedback/corrections/etc [[User:Marysays|mary]] 22:48, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

== Mariinsky - Kirov Ballet ==

To help clear up any confusion:

* [[1790]] - [[1917]]: [[Mariinsky Ballet]]
* [[1917]] - [[1935]]: '''[[Academic State Theatre Ballet]]'''
* [[1935]] – [[1991]]: '''[[Kirov Ballet]]'''
* [[1991]] - : '''[[Mariinsky Ballet]]'''

The Ballet company has alway been a part of the part of the Theatre ([[Mariinsky Theatre]], [[Academic State Theatre]], [[Kirov Theatre]]). The name changes reflect the political suituation in russia at that particular time.

When touring outside Russia the ballet company is called the Kirov Ballet

see: [http://www.kirov.com/faq/FAQ00003.htm What is the official name of the Kirov-Mariinsky Ballet?]

: I actually have that article up on my computer now (I think I'm gonna re-write the Kirov article tommorow). That's why I made the page move, and changed the wording around, so that it's more appropiate to the current day. [[User:Lyellin|Lyellin]] 13:48, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)

== contemporary vs. classical ballet ==

What are the differences between contemporary and classical ballet?--[[User:Hhielscher|Hhielscher]] 21:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC)


== Ballet and its gendering ==

Someone should address the contemporary controversy around Ballet--the common tie to eating disorders, the gendering and caricaturing of women, the problems with the implicit gender/power dynamics, and so on. Unfortunatly I know only about the subject, not much of it. -[[User:bmortimer|bmortimer]] 8 November 2005

== Portal:Dance ==

[[Portal:Dance]] has been started. Please have a look. --[[User:Roland2|Roland2]] 12:10, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
