	Boston Ballet : Ballet Glossary
		In traditional ballets like Swan Lake the corps de ballet dances in large group formations, often moving and turning in intricate lines and patterns.
		It is the difficult task of the corps de ballet to move with a sense of unison: striving for harmony in line and timing.
		Traditionally, the beginning of ballet class is done at the barre and this portion of class is called "barre work." Young pupils learn each new ballet movement facing the barre and holding onto it with two hands.

		Both mentioned "Giselle" as one of their favorite ballets to dance because, especially in the second act, the corps is so involved in the story and the dancing of the principals.

		The corps de ballet is to a dance troupe as the spine is to the body: It provides framework, support, context, and aesthetic form.
		Frances Perez-Ball, who joined the Houston Ballet's corps after dancing with Boston Ballet for eight years, thinks that dancing in a group requires a conscientiousness that's different than dancing solo roles, which she has often been called to perform.
		And because full-length ballets are stocked with multiple characters, and choreographers pick and choose casts, dancers are often yanked from the corps into the soloist spotlight.
