Ballet evolved in France and Russiua soon ballet was brought over to America by a man named George Balanchine. Hundrends of years before the Nutcraker and Sleeping Bueaty ballet were choreographed and composed the roots of ballet were planted in Italy. -

Our Future Prediction for Ballet
We think that Ballet dancers will be able to dance on the moon/space. And that if you would like to do a ballet move, you can do it as long as you'd like because of a chip in your mind. Hopefully our prediction will eventually happen.
