Ballet has a long and fascinating history. Where and why did it start? Who invented pointe shoes? Why is The Nutcracker Ballet so popular? In this class, we will travel back to the 15th century Italian Renaissance where noblemen and women were instructed in the proper movements of royal court. We'll explore the reign of Louis XIV who performed many of the popular dances of the time, making the terminology and vocabulary official. We will take a look at how it spread across Europe and to North America and evolved into the popular dance that we recognize today.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.
I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
