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. 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 Ohka- 23:14, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
