It could be Sleeping Beauty because that is Tchaikovsky's longest one that he wrote but there are thousands of ballets other than the five most famous one. But all the other n ot so famous ballet are very short. some are just 10 mins so it is possible that sleeping beauty is the longest
A Sonnet is the shortest (14 lines) and an epic is the longest most of the time. But ballads and epics have no length requirements so a balled could be longer.
Modern ballet focuses on natural movement and traditional ballet has more stricter rules. For example, if a traditional ballet dancer is just standing on stage, their legs have to be turned out and in first position. But if it were a modern ballet dancer, their legs would not be turned out and they would be in parallel position.
The pointe technique in ballet is used when the dancer's body weight is shifted to the foot. The dancer appears to be standing on just her toes. While some men dancers do this, the majority are women.
If you are standing on one leg (with the other leg off the ground), that leg is called your supporting leg because it is supporting you.
