Romantic Ballet

Romantic Ballet was an era in ballet, where the dance style was affected by the vast romance in art and literature. This was called 'The Romantic Period' which started in the 19th century due to INDUSTRIALISATION, and  industry revolution. This was where people wanted ESCAPISM from the hard life of constant work, migrating to the city, money problems and factories taking over country life. Even children were being put to work to earn their family money from a very young age. Writers choreographers and artists fought back against this to give people a quick fix of escapism from their hard lives by introducing romanticism into their art. And this is how the romantic era started, with people wanting to read about and see beatiful pretty things, fantasy things, often like faries, the supernatural and nature etc.
