neoclassical ballet

Neoclassical ballet is a style that emerged in the mid-20th century, blending classical ballet's traditional techniques with modern ideas and minimalistic aesthetics. It emphasizes clarity of movement, clean lines, and often abstract themes, while maintaining the technical precision and grace of classical ballet. Unlike traditional ballet, neoclassical works may feature simpler costumes and sets, allowing dancers’ skills and innovative choreography to take center stage. This style seeks a balance between the discipline of classical ballet and the freedom of contemporary expression, creating a versatile and expressive approach that broadens the possibilities of ballet as an art form.
