FUN Google Facts:

Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century. Noblemen and women were treated to lavish events, especially wedding celebrations, where dancing and music created an elaborate spectacle. Dancing masters taught the steps to the nobility, and the court participated in the performances.

 

The history of ballet begins around 1500 in Italy. Terms like “ballet” and “ball” stem from the Italian word “ballare,” which means “to dance.” When Catherine de Medici of Italy married the French King Henry II, she introduced early dance styles into court life in France.
Ballet historians consider one of Beaujoyeulx’s entertainments, the Ballet Comique de la Reine, to be the first ballet. It was a magnificent spectacle of about 51/2 hours performed in 1581 in honour of a royal wedding.
La Fontaine, also called Mlle de Lafontaine, (born 1655—died 1738), French ballerina and the first woman professional ballet dancer.
