Ballet has been around for a long time, it dates back to the 1400's. This is when the dance masters of this era gave the court society instructions to a proper dancing posture. These people also invented the patterning for the dancers to follow. Ballet has progressed over time and has become more modern over time.
I have chosen the question "is ballet still relevant to dance today" because it is something that I am interested in and something I am wanting to research into. I also wanted to find out more information about the topic, including people's views. I feel that ballet is something that is becoming less popular as more young people want to take part in street dance rather than ballet, this is due to competitions such a Britain's Got Talent and Got to dance where street dance is being promoted due to acts such as diversity, even though ballet is still watched by millions of people all over the world.
According to questionnaires I have done the people without dance experience think that ballet technique is important in other types of dance styles such as contemporary. I then stated the question "why?" One person said because "when doing ballet you use different muscles which help in other dances." Another person said "people can perform a more expressive dances and it helps with having more flexibility a long with strength."
I also asked them, if they thought that you should learn ballet if doing any other style of dance, one person said that "if they feel that it would help their learning in the other style of dance they were doing then yes."
I also asked people who were/are dance students if they thought ballet technique was important in other styles of dance, all of the questionnaires came back with the answer "yes." I asked them the same question; I asked the non-dancers "why" one person said because it helps with "strength, balance and flexibility" other dancers said because "some of the moves in ballet can cross over into the other dance style" and "because it is a more expressive way of dancing"
Furthermore I asked people if they think people should do ballet when they are learning a different style of dance, and how much knowledge of ballet is needed, people who do different styles of dance, as well as ballet they knew an average amount, because knowing the basics will help in a different dance areas.
People who just do ballet or just did ballet said at when doing any other type of dance you need to know an average amount because the basic movements are used in other types of dance performed today.
Based on all this evidence I have concluded that Ballet is still a relevant part of people's lives. It is also a stem of every other time of dance as just even a single movement crosses over.
