there is a huge amount of ballet steps, positions, and movements. more than i want to count
In Classical Ballet there are seven categories of movement: Plier "Bend", Etendre "Stretch", Relever "Rise up", Sauter "Jump or Leap", Glisse "Glide", Tourner "turn" You may find more detailed ballet movements here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_ballet
Ballet is more graceful and Jazz has music with a different beat and different moves, with brisker, more pumped up steps rather than fluid, graceful movements of the arms and body.
20th century ballet is more modern than the typical plie, tondue, arabesk. It has awkward movements and turned in feet with arms out of typical position. The best way to put it is "Breaking Boundaries" a more contemporary dance than classical ballet. Contemporary ballet, you should watch it to understand more :) here's a link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF2k4RRfBb0
Ballet involves graceful movements of the body and the use of facial expressions to portray a story. Ballet involves lots of jumping and turning, but also a lot of slow balancing and lithe movements. Male ballet dancers usually do a lot of the jumping and fast movements as they require maximum strength, and females usually do the more graceful things. Female dancers also dance en pointe which is where the end of the shoe and the sole of the shoe are hardened so that the dancer can balance on the very ends of their toes. This takes strength in the feet and legs and also good balance, along with years of training. Ballet is one of the hardest things that people can do, but the best ballet dancers make it look easy. That is why there is a common misconception that ballet is easy, and many people think it is rubbish. Only the smarter ones know the true brilliance of a ballet dancer.

In a ballet class, there are generally two sections. One (barre) is when you stand at the barre and do movements to warm your body up to dancing. Later, when you come to the second portion (center) you start to do more difficult work. Ballet is a combination of movements to increase your flexiblity and strentgh.

Girls do tend to do ballet more when they are younger, but once people get older, more men tend to do ballet.
Ballet shoes are traditionally pink to match the skin tone of dancers, creating a seamless visual line from the foot to the leg. This color choice helps to enhance the dancer's appearance on stage, making their movements appear more fluid and graceful. Additionally, pink ballet shoes have become a standard in ballet culture, symbolizing the art form itself and its aesthetic.
Some of the more famous ballet schools are, Juilliard, Nutmeg Ballet School, Pacific Northwest, Mary Days, The Marinsky Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet and The National Ballet of Canada.
