response: I'll bet! Does she prefer traditional classical ballets or the modern ballets?
history: I enjoy going to ballet performances, especially with my girlfriend. She used to dance ballet, and her critiques of the performers are hilarious.
knowledge: Traditional classical ballets usually are performed with classical music accompaniment and use elaborate costumes and staging, whereas modern ballets, such as the neoclassical works of American choreographer George Balanchine, often are performed in simple costumes (e.g., leotards and tights) and without the use of elaborate sets or scenery.
