Ballet originated in France in the 1600's as a classical movement of the body made to entertain the King of the time. Originally, men danced on pointe as well as women but then it got too hard for men to dance in and everyone agreed it didn't suit a man's build. By the 1800's, ballet dances that are still performed today had been choreographed making ballet very popular and entertaining.
French was the language that crossed all borders in the major kingdoms of Europe and almost every aristocrat spoke it and his /her own fluently in addition to their own native language. Ballet in its earliest forms (17th century) was performed Louis IV and his court and his dancing masters spoke French, codified the steps....even though some were Italian!!
It gives a dancer good posture. It improves all other dancing and makes the dancer more disciplined. It is the base of all dance.
It began in Italy during the Renaissance and when Catherine de Medici married the French King she introduced it to the court life in France.
