"One Thing I'm
Good at is Ballet"
One thing I'm an expert at ballet. I started ballet when
I was five and did it one day a week. Now I am nine and I do it three days a
week. I do ballet at Classical Ballet Academy. I have two teachers names Miss
Sarah and Miss Susan.
Ballet was invented in 1459 in Italy at a royal wedding.
They danced to represent the foods they served. Can you imagine a carrot dance?
King Louis IXV (14th) started the first ballet school called Royal
Academy of Dance. Pierre Beauchamp developed the five basic positions.
In the beginning, ballet dancers dressed in long, heavy
dresses that went down to the floor. A Belgian dancer named Marie made dresses
that went down to your ankles. Now ballerinas wear almost any costume. One of
the costumes a ballerina wears is called a pancake tutu. Pancake tutus are flat
like a pancake and you don't eat them.
A beginner at ballets wears ballet slippers. Ballet
slippers are soft and don't have flat tips. When your feet get stronger you get
pointed shoes. Pointed shoes are hard and have flat tips so you can go
endpoint. I'm not en Pointe yet.
