Ballet, with its origins in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, has evolved into a highly technical form of dance known for its grace and precision. It spread to France and Russia, where it flourished, becoming a staple of classical performance art. Ballet is characterized by its ethereal quality, with dancers appearing to defy gravity through leaps, spins, and lifts.
