===Ballet===

==Ballet==

''Ballet is a specific dance form and technique. Works of dance choreographed using this technique are called ballets, and may include dance, music, acting and mime.'' <ref>EzineArticles.com, ''Can You Appreciate the Art of Ballet?'', by Jeffrey Meier http://ezinearticlesDOTcom/?Can-You-Appreciate-the-Art-of-Ballet?&id=294632</ref> Ballet was first developed in the [[Renaissance]] in Italy and France, and later in Russia as a concert dance form. Classical ballet is the most formal of the different ballet styles. ''Ballet, as practised in Europe and the US, emphasizes the abstract geometry of bodily form exploring the heights and extensions the body can achieve both on the floor and in the air...''

===Dance in the Bible===

==Dance in the Bible==

Dancing is mentioned nearly two dozen times in the Bible; the word indicates joyful, exuberant celebration either toward God (as worship) or toward a conquering hero (like David). In contrast, dancing is frowned upon in many Muslim cultures, where [[Sharia law]] forbids it.

According to Mark 6:22-29 the dancing of Herodias' daughter before [[Herod]] and his companions was so pleasing to him that he offered the girl anything "up to half my kingdom". Coached by her mother, she asked for the head of [[John the Baptist]].

===Choreography===

==Choreography==

[[Choreography]] is the composition and arrangement of dances; the general art principles of design, like harmony, unity, variety, repetition, proportion, contrast, sequence, transition, balance and climax, must be used to create an aesthetic choreography. A ballet's choreography could be based on sources like: a story, a musical composition, or a painting.
