Also she was known for making the skirt of the tutu shorter for more leg movement and to show off her hard work in pointe work.marie’s shoes were not anything like the pointe shoes of the 21st century. The first pointe shoes were flat simple slippers that was lightly reinforced by the dancer! Marie’s only support was darning around the toes. As we know marie wore the tutu that she had shortened in La Sylphide and it became the norm for tutus in the romantic period! Romantic ballets Luceafarul La Sylphide La Cachucha Grand pas de Diane chasseresse La Jolie Fille du Gand. La Sylphide,1832 Everything is rather slow and quite simple but at the same time it shows such a story.The movements between the man and the woman are as though they’re contacting each other through footwork which I think is so effortless and “romantic” the tutu is stunning and has so much detail on the top half.The woman’s performance skills are beautiful.The dancing is mainly all about the pointe shoes as they were fairly new and advanced.

He had a new,unique and fresh attitude toward anything connected with the ballet.He stated quite early to plan choreography,to look for appropriate music in libraries and to sketch designs. Fokine wanted ballet to be expressed by the movement of the whole body,and that there should be complete equality in the relationship among people of the component arts that make up a ballet dance, music, and scenic and costume design. Has Fokine rejected formal classical ballets like The Sleeping Beauty.He felt that dancing should be a truly expressive so he felt not only the dance should reflect on music and design be the costumes should reflect on this too.

Modern ballet is also known as contemporary ballet is a style of dance that incorporates parts of classical ballet and contemporary dance.Classical ballet is directed more towards an audience but modern ballet is more traveled and the direction is around the room.This genre is akin to Western modern dance in form and technique, marinated in Bollywood for local flavour.Classical ballet is on the feminine side.Contemporary dance audience aren’t all about pointework.its more about part of the foot, or that deconstructed torso, where energy bounces into the torso. Martha graham Martha Graham’s work is very bold,she illustrates her movements by making them t jarring, violent,spastic and trembling kind of movements.She believed that by doing this it makes the physical expressions give outlet to spiritual and emotional that were entirely ignored in other contemporary dance forms.
