A classical form of dance characterized by grace, precision, and theatrical performance. Russia is considered the world capital of ballet — the Bolshoi Theatre (Moscow) and Mariinsky Theatre (St. Petersburg) are the most prestigious ballet institutions globally. Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker are the canonical repertoire. Russian ballet masters (Petipa, Fokine, Diaghilev's Ballets Russes) transformed ballet into a modern art form and exported it worldwide.
