Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ballet is a classical or formal dance form that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts in the 15th century. It is characterized by precise and graceful movements, pointe work, and highly formalized techniques. Modern dance, on the other hand, evolved in the late 19th and early 20th century in reaction to the strict rules of ballet and focuses on freedom of movement and expression. Folk dance is a traditional dance of a particular culture or region and is not necessarily formal or classical. Therefore, the best association with classical or formal dance is ballet.
