Watch out, here comes the BALLERINAS!

I didn't know female dancers could do so much! 1735

Watch out world, there are two star ballerinas competing for the spotlight! If you haven't noticed, females seem to be taking over the ballet world by storm. Francoise Prevost paved the way in Lully's "Aty's" Opera in 1699. Her precision and grace really showed what ballet was all about. She even brought in mime and dramatics that date all the way back to the Greeks. When she began teaching and the Opera's school two other dancers Prevost trained made their way up to the top of the charts!

Marie Salle 

The expressive dancer, with dramatic performances filled with leaps and technique

Marie Camargo 

The dancer with endless energy and virtuosity as well as strong technique

The one thing these dancers have in common is their change on what the Ballerina used to wear! Because these two women are such wonderful dancers, they needed to show it off!

Marie Camargo's new trend!
Ditch those heeled hard shoes and wear slippers, its much easier to show of your feet. Also it makes large jumps and quick foot work easier! Now that you have feet to show off, it's time to hike up your hemlines ladies! Camargo has been seen performing in a calf-length skirt. When your skirt is just above the ankles the audience won't be able to tear their eyes away, 

It seems a bit scandalous, but women are taking the ballet world by storm, and they are making changes along the way. Now with soft slippers and shorter skirts ladies can show off their skills. 

Use these ladies as an example:

Check out Salle's neck line! Throw out those ruffs and let your head and shoulders to be free and dance with you!
