Ballet is a type of performance dance, that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, and which was further developed in France and Russia as a concert dance form. The early portions preceded the invention of the proscenium stage and were presented in large chambers with most of the audience seated on tiers or galleries on three sides of the dance floor. It has since become a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music and has been influential as a form of dance globally. Ballet has been taught in ballet schools around the world, which use their own cultures and societies to inform the art. Ballet dance works (ballets) are choreographed and performed by trained artists, include mime and acting, and are set to music (usually orchestral but occasionally vocal). It is a poised style of dance that incorporates the foundational techniques for many other dance forms. This genre of dance is very hard to master and requires much practice. It is best known in the form of late Romantic ballet or Ballet Blanc, which preoccupies itself with the female dancer to the exclusion of almost all else, focusing on pointe work, flowing, precise acrobatic movements, and often presenting the dancers in the conventional short white French tutu. Later developments include expressionist ballet, neoclassical ballet, and elements of modern dance.

Forzen
I disappear and turn to stone
Wake me now
Like a secret mission inside my brain
Falling underneath
The sign of contortion
Bleeding little creatures
dancing on my head
Singing songs of the beautiful dead
Now I slowly drive my poem
Into her corrupted thoughts
The only future she knows
Strapped by the unchangeable rage
Could hart's secret beauty
I call unto you
I try so hard not to laugh
As I lay my arms around her
I always knew it would be
A dance of demise and forever amity
Disgusted faces in my mirror
Telling me to stab my own soul
I turn to watch the body behind me
But I notice she's already gone
Let me see your dead lands
I call unto your light
This light is blinds me
Still I climb higher than this
To feed the dark
It rips me open
It blinds me
Back from the journey outside
I need the walls to protect me
And as a goddess enters my pride
I'll give her what she wants.....
Underthis dead and faded sun
Frozen
I disappear and turn to stone
Wake me now
