Etymology
The word 'ballet' originated from the Italian word 'balletto' which means 'a dance.' Ballet as a form of dance has its roots in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th and 16th centuries. It later developed into a more structured and formal dance style in France during the 17th century. Ballet has since become a popular and influential dance form worldwide, known for its grace, beauty, and technical precision.
