Considered as the most disciplined form of dancing, the ballet is a pedigreed dancing tradition that is iconic for the elitist airs of a bygone era. Today, the ballet dancer, while being heir to this lofty tradition, combines classical dance traditions with the freestyle techniques of contemporary dance to create a fusion of grace, energy, originality and expressive power that have become the hallmark of interpretative modern dance. Most successful professional dancers in dance ensembles for musicals, stage performances and figure skating are rooted in ballet disciplines. A resume for the part should include a portfolio of videotaped ballet performances and recognitions.
