Ballet
is a type of stage dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century and that later became a form of concert dance in France and Russia. Students are strongly encouraged to audition for the annual musicals of Elevate Productions, the resident theater company of the Colorado Ballet Society. Ballet has had a worldwide influence and has defined the fundamental techniques used in many other dance genres and cultures.
