response: Yes indeed. It even has its own vocabulary that is based on French words. What got you into ballet?
original_response: Most of the vocabulary is French.  Have you ever watched it?
history: I have always been interested in Ballet but don't know very much about it. The Italian Renaissance saw the birth of ballet as a performance dance. Its form as a concert one happened in France as well as in Russia. That's really cool. I always think of fancy old European buildings and French speaking people when talking about it.
knowledge: It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology.
