Ballet was never really 'discovered'. Instead, it grew and changed from what it was to what we know today.
The predecessor to ballet started during the Renaissance in Italy. It then migrated to France.
What we consider ballet today, however, really started in France with Louis the 14th. I'm not going to give you the entire story, but there's a really excellent history of ballet here;http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/yiannis/dance/history.html

Wait, what the H**l do you mean? "Who was the first TO DANCE ballet?" or "WHAT was the first ballet?" The first ballet (at least ever recorded) was "Le Ballet Comique de la Reine." And as for the first ever to dance... well, that hasn't been put on record either. Sorry...
The first recorded performance of a ballet was in 1581, entitled Le Ballet Comique de la Reine, or the comic ballet of the queen.
Ballet Became A famous Type of dance Because of the fact that King Luis the III discovered it.
