What is a ballet blanc?
BALLET BLANC, noun. /balΙ blΙΜ/
Rooted in the romantic era of the 19th century, ballet blancs were infused with the essence of enchanted beings, fairies, and supernatural beings and creatures, moving through timeless narratives. We reimagine this classical method of storytelling with fresh perspectives, bringing new energy and life into their traditional and delicate beauty. At the heart of a ballet blanc, lives the iconic image of ballerinas and the corps de ballet, united in movement and form, wearing white dresses or tutus. We are here to rewrite the blanc canvas.
