Ballet

Ballet first started is the 1300’s or 15th century, it wasn’t very popular so it died down. It started back up again in the 1500’s to entertain King Louis, it was the most popular dance ever since. A French man named Louis Spandau started ballet. He became more famous in the 14th.

It was further developed in the French Court from the time of Louis the 14th in the 17th century. When Louis the 14th was in power he made everyone walk on their tiptoes, because to him he thought it made them look more elegant. Ballet became so popular because of Louis the 14th he had a lot of ballets at versatile, and would dance sometimes.
