The art of classical ballet.

Ballet is able to conquer all hearts and penetrate the depths of the human soul. It makes you
to rejoice, to cry, to empathize, to capture the viewer's thoughts. He learns what he thought, what he admired or was horrified by - that is the art of classical ballet.

Ballet is part of the overall choreography, the jubilation, the excitement of the individual, his team and the
audience. The instrument of this jubilation is dance. On the ballet stage, life unfolds in a fairytale
fairy-tale environment that brings people danger, blows of fate, intrigue, charm and disappointment. Death sometimes appears in the ballet and sometimes even a cemetery. But sadness and joy do not appear in the coarse forms of everyday life, but in solemn garments. They are covered with a veil of jubilation, where sadness has faded and joy becomes reflective. But the true content is revealed in the dances themselves. This is how A.L. Volinski, ballet critic and philosopher of classical dance, characterizes this art.
