History Of Ballet 

Ballet is a very popular dance today and we should know some basic things about its origins. Actually, believe it or not, ballet comes from celebrations that took part in the 17th century in order to elaborate good news. Then, it developed thanks to King Louis XI and the first performances began in the Académie Royale de Danse in 1661.
