Ballet
Originating in 1600's Italy, ballet moved to France when the first ballet school opened in 1661 by Louis XIV and allowed only men to dance. Beauchamps, a French ballet instructor created the five basic ballet positions in the 1600's that are still taught today. Still using their French names these positions help the dancers maintain balance whilst looking graceful.
