response: You may be interested to hear that trained ballet dancers do the choreography!
original_response: I'd have to put Swan Lake high up on my favorite list too. It is so well choreographed and is usually performed by top notch trained ballet dancers.
history: I enjoy going to ballet performances, especially with my girlfriend. She used to dance ballet, and her critiques of the performers are hilarious. I'll bet! Does she prefer traditional classical ballets or the modern ballets? I'll have to ask her, but my guess would be classical. I think they're easier to critique, because modern ballet can be so avant garde and ''do whatever you want.'' Ah.  Apparently classical ballet has more elaborate staging and costumes, compared to modern ballet. Yeah it is! So much of the story can be told before you even look at the movements of the dancers, because of makeup and costuming. Really?  Bye the way, have you seen The Nutcracker, the two act ballet? Oh yeah, every year around the holidays.  Who choreographs ballet anyhow?
knowledge: Ballets are choreographed and performed by trained ballet dancers.
