With elements of theater, music, and dance, ballet introduces people to a world of grace and elegance. As they go en pointe, the dancers appear to float across the stage and even fly for brief moments. Every year, the New York City Ballet, The Moscow Ballet, and other ensembles produce classic shows like Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. Other popular dances include The Sleeping Beauty, Elektra, and Coppelia.
