ROMANTIC DANCE Known as the “Golden Age of Ballet”
Turned against neoclassicism
Subjective viewpoint and feeling sought attention
The music is written first, dance written to fit It was the opposite in the Classical Period

THEOPHILE GAUTIER The writings of Gautier (1811-1872)
Gautier was a poet and critic who believed that dance was visual stimulation to show “beautiful forms in graceful attitudes.”
Dancing, for Gautier, was like a living painting or sculpture – “physical pleasure and feminine beauty.”
In Romantic ballet, male dancers were reassigned to the background, females were the lead They could do more

CARLO BLASIS Blasis (1803-1878) wrote the “Code of Terpsichoro”
His principles covered training, structure, and positioning
Everything in ballet required a beginning, a middle, and an ending
Dancers needed to display the human figure with taste and elegance

Both men and women can dance en pointe, but most commonly performed by women

ROMANTIC BALLET Choreographers of romantic ballet sought magic and
escape in fantasies and legends
Ballets about elves and nymphs enjoyed great popularity, as did ballets about madness, sleepwalking, and dreamsTaglioni’s La Sylphide: about how a man leaves his fiance for
a mythical creature, but encounters a witch who curses her to death
Taglioni’s The Revolt in the Harem: wives revolt against their oppressors with the help of ‘the spirit of womankind’
