A magical ballet
Ballet
The earliest precursors to ballet were lavish entertainments given in the courts of Renaissance Italy. These elaborate spectacles, which united painting, poetry, music, and dancing, took place in large halls that were used also for banquets and balls.
Ballet is an artistic dance performed to music as part of theatrical performance, often suggesting a story or an idea. Dancing ballet enables us to balance and maintain good body posture.
One school that offers ballet is the Claravall-Gonzalez School of Classical Ballet. It is located at Jamerlan Building, Iznart Street, Iloilo City.

The school gave a show called the Magical Disney Ballet at SM City Iloilo last Dec. 27, 2008. The presentation was participated in by the ballet school's students as well as those from John B. Lacson Maritime University, Colegio de San Jose and Assumption.
The dancers were trained by Karla White and Pauline Cordero.
According to Pangga Masangkay, host of the event, the purpose of the presentation for the holidays was to give the audience enjoyment and make it a learning experience.
The Claravall-Gonzalez School of Classical Ballet's directress is Nila Claravall Gonzalez.
