Die woord "ballet" verwys na 'n soort teateropvoering wat gedurende die 15de eeu in die Italiaanse Renaissance-howe ontstaan het en later ontwikkel het tot 'n hoogs tegniese vorm van dans. Ballet word gekenmerk deur grasieuse en presiese bewegings, wat dikwels op klassieke musiek uitgevoer word, en behels gewoonlik 'n groep opgeleide dansers wat saam op 'n verhoog optree. Die dansvorm het sy eie unieke woordeskat van stappe en houdings, en vertel dikwels 'n storie of dra 'n emosie oor deur beweging en uitdrukking.
