Which language is ballet usually taught in?
Ballet is all French words. Even though it is French it is taught all over the world.
Can you teach yourself ballet?
I do not think you can. There are so many things you can learn. All the words used in ballet are french so you would need to learn those words. You need to be able to point out the details used in ballet. For example, in jazz, when you do a pirohuette turn, your leg by your knee is parallel and in ballet it is turned out. In ballet you all ways use opposites too. Also, you need to learn all the positions. When you do a performance, you don't always smile too. So you probally could not teach yourself ballet.
Why are ballet words in French?
Many people believe ballet started in France but ballet was created in Italy during the Renaissance. It later spread to France during Luis XIV's time and became extremely popular. That's where they got the words for the different movements.
What are ballet steps?
Some common ballet steps are plie, grand batement, echape, assemble, and jete. (These words are French and they have accents marks, the spelling may be a bit off.)
What is the difference between the Original Romeo and Juliet and the Ballet version?
Words. Shakespeare has them. Ballet does not.
