What was the incident during the ballet in Romeo and Juliet?

There is no ballet in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. Although a dance interlude was inserted into the tragedy Macbeth (probably by Thomas Middleton), Shakespeare's tragedies do not usually include dances, and certainly not ballet. In this respect they differ from Moliere's plays, in which ballet breaks figure prominently. Sergei Prokofieff wrote music for a ballet of Romeo and Juliet which is quite popular and often performed. In this case, everything that happens is an "incident during the ballet".
