Ballet is a formalized form of dance with its origins in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th and 16th centuries. It quickly spread to the French court of Catherine de' Medici where it was developed even further. In the late 17th century Louis XIV founded the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) within which emerged the first professional theatrical ballet company, the Paris Opera Ballet. The predominance of French in the vocabulary of ballet reflects this history.
Ballet began in the 15th century in Italy with the Lombard school of dance. "Ballo" was the generic name for pantomimed dance. In the 16th century in Florence ballet found a new popularity and was used for all occasions that were celebrated.
