Artistry of classical ballet.
Ballet has the power to captivate all hearts and delve into the depths of the human soul. It can make one rejoice, weep, empathize, captivate the viewer's thoughts. It teaches what one thought, what one admired, or was horrified by – that is the artistry of classical ballet.
Ballet is part of the overall choreography, the jubilation, the excitement of individuals, their team, and the audience. The instrument of this jubilation is dance. On the ballet stage, life unfolds in a fairytale environment that brings danger, twists of fate, intrigues, charm, and disappointment to people. Death sometimes appears in ballet, and sometimes even a cemetery. However, sadness and joy do not appear in the coarse forms of everyday life, but in festive attire. They are covered with a veil of celebration, where sorrow fades and joy becomes thoughtful. but the true content is revealed in the dances themselves. So A.L. Volinski, ballet critic and philosopher of classical dance, characterizes this art.
