Extractions: See as how you've come this far, I regret to inform you that BalletWeb will be closing down permanently after June 1, 2001. Some of the linked pages may remain for an indefinite period after that, but the site no longer will be active and might disappear at any time without further notice. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. When I started BalletWeb in 1996, there were very few good ballet sites on the Web. Now there are hundreds (and, of course, some pretty dreadful ones, too!) Since the need now seems to be well filled, and I no longer have the time or stamina to keep the site up to date, the most sensible thing seems to be to close it and clear the way for others. The photographs and dance photography pages may eventually find a new home at homepage.mac.com/~jwphoto , so watch that address for future developments. Thanks for your support and interest over the years! Jim Williams, Webmaster Photo Gallery Permanent Collection: A "Les Sylphides" portfolio.

Dancing Online, History Of Ballet How ballet evolved from the courts of Renaissance Italy to the revival of interest in the 1960s. http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/yiannis/dance/history.html
Extractions: The earliest precursors to ballets were lavish entertainments given in the courts of Renaissance Italy. These elaborate spectacles, which united painting, poetry, music, and dancing, took place in large halls that were used also for banquets and balls. A dance performance given in 1489 actually was performed between the courses of a banquet, and the action was closely related to the menu: For instance, the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece preceded the roast lamb. The dancers based their performance on the social dances of the day. The Italian court ballets were further developed in France. Le Ballet Comique de la Reine (The Queen's Ballet Comedy), the first ballet for which a complete score survived, was performed in Paris in 1581. It was staged by Balthazar de Beaujoyeux, a violinist and dancing master at the court of Queen Catherine de Mdicis. It was danced by aristocratic amateurs in a hall with the royal family on a dais at one end and spectators in galleries on three sides. Since much of the audience saw the ballet from above, the choreography emphasized the elaborate floor patterns created by lines and groups of dancers. Poetry and songs accompanied the dances. Most French court ballets consisted of dance scenes linked by a minimum of plot. Because they were designed principally for the entertainment of the aristocracy, rich costumes, scenery, and elaborate stage effects were emphasized. The proscenium stage (
