section Summary
 
 
Ballet, like many other art forms, has a long and rich history of evolution and development. In fact, researchers examining the history of ballet have noted that the earliest precursors to ballet can be found as far back as the Renaissance in Italy (Wiley, 2006). Since this time, ballet has expanded and developed based not only on the prevailing culture at a given time, but also with respect to the specific country in which it was performed. With the realization that ballet has such a long and rich history, there is a clear impetus to examine this history and the evolution of ballet overall. Using this as a basis for investigation, this research considers the development of modern ballet in the United States. Through a careful consideration of what has been written about the history of modern ballet, it will be possible to demonstrate how this art form developed in the United States.
