Yes, ballet is still practiced today.
That is called dancing en pointe.

The Nutcracker is a fairy tale-ballet composed in 1891-92 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
I've been doing classical ballet since I was three, I dance six hours a week and always wanted to be a classical ballet dancer. It is very important to me, I couldn't live without it, it's very beautiful and has become my way of expression. Although it can be gruelling and sometimes repetitive it is inspirational to watch such great dancers as Darcey Bussell on stage. I love ballet and hope it continuous to be practiced forever.

Ballet is a formalized type of performance dance, which originated in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century French courts, and which was further developed in England, Italy, and Russia as a concert dance form. It was not "made up" by one single person. It developed and grew throughout the years with many people adding to it and expanding where it is practiced.
