Classical and Romantic Ballet Dancers

Ballet dancers of the Romantic ballet of the early nineteenth century and of the classical ballet repertory. A dancer belongs here when the cited article names Romantic or classical ballet. It excludes modern dancers and the Ballets Russes circle. The first period brought the ballerina on pointe, white tutus and supernatural stories, and the classical repertory that followed in Russia and Europe set the standards of technique that dancers still train in today.
