　　Ballet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changed.

　　Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens, as well as other nobility, to participate in?pageants?that included music, poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts, changed to flat shoes, and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.

　　It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King. Louis XIV of France, himself a de- voted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the late 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.

　　Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russes, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.

正确答案及解析

正确答案

解析

芭蕾舞是一种历史悠久的舞蹈形式。事实上芭蕾舞延续至今说明了其随着时代的变化而有所调整。

　　在文艺复兴时期，芭蕾舞开始于皇家宫廷。在那时，芭蕾舞在国王、王后以及贵族之间开始普及，并且与音乐、诗歌以及舞蹈一起参与盛会的表演。当这些娱乐形式从意大利宫廷流传到法国宫廷的时候，宫女们开始参与进来。虽然她们的长裙子阻碍了很多动作，但是她们能够表演复杂的舞步。直到17世纪女舞者才开始缩短她们的裙子，改穿平底鞋，并且做一些男舞者表演的跳跃和转圈动作。

　　而且也是在17世纪，专业的芭蕾舞舞蹈团应运而生。法国国王路易十四建立了皇家舞蹈学院，而他本身就是一个舞蹈爱好者。由此正式确定了脚的5个基本位置，这5个位置是所有芭蕾舞步的基础。18世纪末，发生了另一个重要的改变。芭蕾舞幵始通过自己的表演来讲述故事。它不再只是幕间表演的插舞。精致的假发和服装被淘汰。在19世纪初，舞者学会了用脚尖站立使其看起来像是在漂浮。

　　正如我们所知，现如今古典芭蕾主要受到了俄罗斯舞蹈的影响。在19世纪中叶，当欧洲其他国家对于芭蕾舞的兴趣有所减少时，俄罗斯人始终保持着对芭蕾舞的兴趣。20世纪初最有影响力的人物之一便是谢尔盖·基列夫。他的舞蹈公司——俄罗斯芭蕾舞团为芭蕾带来了新的动力与活力。他的主要助手之一，乔治·巴兰钦，在1948年建立了纽约市芭蕾舞舞蹈团并影响了新一代的舞者。
