Who invented ballet?
Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th and 16th centuries before being exported to France by Catherine de Medici. The name of the inventor, if there was a single inventor, is lost to history. In the 17th century, King Louis XIV enjoyed the dancing called "ballet" so much that he hired his own dancing teacher and founded the first dancing academy in Paris 1661.France and Italy were the centers of ballet until the 1890's when French choreographer Marius Petipa moved to Russia. There he met the famous composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (pronounced Chy-kof-skee). Together they produced some of the most difficult and beautiful ballets that are still performed today such as The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty. In 1909, Sergi Diaghilev formed a company of Russian dancers, composers and designers called the Ballets Russes. This dance troupe had a new abstract style and often didn't have a story with the dance. The great George Balanchine was part of this troupe. Later, Balanchine came to the United States and started the New York City Ballet, Paul Mejia, the choreographer and Fort Worth Dallas Ballet Artistic Director, studied under Balanchine. What you are viewing today is a direct descendent from ballet's earliest and finest roots. Ballet has grown and changed and the famous dances have been passed down from one famous foot to another!

In west side story who is Consuelo?
Consuelo is the blonde friend of Maria. (Have you met my good friend, Maria? The craziest girl on the block. You'll know her the minute you see her...) In early versions of the stage play, it is she who sings Somewhere during the ballet. This was changed in the film -- Maria and Tony sing Somewhere in the film. In the current Broadway revival (2009) Somewhere is sung by a child named Kiddo.
