During the reign of Petipa, composers were dictated by the choreographer as to what kind of music was required, tempi, duration, etc. No ifs and buts allowed.
The most popular ballet during the winter holiday season is The Nutcracker.
Ballet is performed in many different sorts of ways. Some ballets consist of just girls, and some of girls and boys. Ballet is performed by twirling around on special sorts of ballet shoes, walking "en pointe", and doing different sorts of moves that also involve plies and leaping into the air. Some require for you to do splits, and also to use your arms. In some, the boys assist the girls in their moves and even lift them into the air.
