Editing Narrative ballet (section)

==Other forms of ballet==
While narrative ballet is easily the most well-known and appreciated form of ballet, there are many others that are important as well. There are considered to be four main styles of ballet: Classical, Neoclassical, Contemporary, and Romantic. '''Neoclassical ballet''' evolved from classical ballet, distinguishing itself for typically being abstract. The music of choice tends to be neoclassical as well, from musicians such as [[Albert Roussel|Roussel]] and [[Igor Stravinsky|Stravinsky]].<ref name="Blackpool Grand Theatre-2018">{{Cite web |date=2018-12-12 |title=Different Types of Ballet {{!}} Styles & Ballet Terminology - The Grand |url=https://www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk/different-types-ballet |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=Blackpool Grand Theatre |language=en-GB}}</ref> '''Contemporary ballet''' takes inspiration from classical ballet elements and adding modern techniques of [[jazz]] and other dance forms, and focuses more on athleticism and bigger and swifter tempos.<ref name="Blackpool Grand Theatre-2018" /> Finally the last style of ballet is '''Romantic''', which is very similar to Classical ballet in the fact that drama, emotion, and a strong storytelling<ref name="Blackpool Grand Theatre-2018" /> are key components of the style. The main difference between the two styles lies within the costuming. The longer bell-shaped skirts of Romantic ballets are a far cry from the short, stiff, platter-style tutus worn in Classical pieces.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Four Major Styles of Ballet |url=https://www.bostonballet.org/stories/the-four-major-styles-of-ballet/ |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=Boston Ballet |language=en}}</ref>
