An analysis of the traditional and progressive aspects of classical ballet. Comparing traditionally influenced methods with progressive methods, identifying dance science in past teaching styles, and exploring the principles of traditional styles and how they relate to modern day scientific knowledge. Emphasizing the presence of dance science throughout the tradition and explaining how the dance instructor's role has evolved with knowledge about anatomy and kinesiology. Ultimately, the evolution of ballet and incorporation of less traditional training methods is what might keep the tradition of ballet alive.
