	Ballet - MSN Encarta
		Ballet, form of theatrical dance that began to evolve in Western Europe during the Renaissance (1300-1600).
		The basis of ballet technique is the turned-out position of the legs and feet: Each leg is rotated outward from the hip joint so that the feet form a 180° angle on the floor.
		Ballet is often described in terms of moving upward and outward; ideally, the dancer’s limbs should appear to extend into infinity.

	Russian Classical ballet and Modern Dance
		The dissemination of ballet in Russia and its deep rooted appeal to all Russians can be traced back to those nobles who, often living so far away from the capital, commanded their own entertainment, setting up ballet troupes often composed of serfs who had been trained at the Imperial School.
		The history of the Russian ballet consists of the gradual absorption of this foreign knowledge by the Russians themselves until the art became indigenous.
		It was in 1935 that the ballet became the Kirov Ballet.

		Perhaps one reason that Americans haven't fully accepted ballet into the mainstream is because they don't understand the years of physical and mental pressure required to become a dancer, says Janice Baker, assistant professor of health and human performance.
		Even though ballet may not be as complicated as rocket science, Martin says, it still requires some intellect for audiences to understand, which she says is a contrast to most of the entertainment Americans enjoy.
		In ballet, and dance in general, though it may be entertaining, it is also thought-provoking and does take some intellect to watch," she says.
