Many of the steps still bear names relating to the dances or the geographical regions from which they were drawn--for example, pas de bourrée and pas de Basque. Many of the greatest dancers in the 20th century have been Russian, but ballet arose in Italy and matured in France (see Questions D.3 andD.5, below).

Ballet is classical theatrical dancing which originated in the courtfestivities of Renaissance Italy and was then brought to France, whereit prospered under Louis XIV. Louis founded a school for dancers and that is why the terminology of ballet classes the world overis French.

That's open to debate, because there's no general agreement on how balletic a performance has to be to qualify as a ballet. Two performances are usually singled out by historians, however.

I think many who have studied something for so long would agree that it is hard to do it again at a much less intense rate. To be at the same level of ability I had reached before quitting or even close, I would have to take lessons and practice pretty much everyday which obviously I can no longer do.
