The Ballet is a type of art that expresses
the beauty and fine figure of a woman. It
is the art that gives you the relaxation by its
graceful body movements while adjusting
a sense of emotion to music. And the most
of all, ballet provides people with the most
pleasurable motions by its movements,
features and techniques. The history of Ballet
art comes from the 15th century and became an
independent art during the 14th King Ludovic,
known as the “Sun King” in the 17th century.
Since that time, the development of ballet has
intensified and spread around the world with
various styles, and people have been delighted
by world-famous performances of ballet. We
are highlighting "The Royal Danish Ballet".
“The Royal Danish Ballet” is considered
as one of the oldest. It has been serving as a
masterpiece of classical art for 271 years. In
the history of ballet art, the highest contribution
of “The Royal Danish Ballet” is proved by
Danish ballet master and choreographer
August Bournonville, who created unique
style of dance performance. One of the major
developments is that the Royal ballet develops
the XVIII-XIX century ballet performances
with the classic style and they have been
staging many famous performances such as
"Swan Lake" and "Sleeping Beauty".
The ballet performance will be held on
June 29, at 18:00, at the Corporate Hotel
& Convention Centre hall. It will present
the world-famous Royal Danish ballet for
Mongolian audience and will further contribute
to the development of cultural cooperation
between Mongolia and Denmark.
