ABSTRACT

This study aims to lay the humanities foundation for illuminating ballet by analyzing the effect of Romanticism on ballet through the ideology and characteristics of Romanticism, a trend of literary thought. Romantic ballet’s representative works La Sylphide, Giselle and Pas de Quatre were greatly influenced by romanticism in the early 19th century. Under the theme of ‘Love’ that transcends human limitations, a ‘Sur la point’ technique was developed, creating a new genre called ‘Ballet Blanc’ and generating a feminine image to express the ideal of romanticism with a fantastic and ‘transcendental beauty.’ Romantic ballet yielded the driving force to inspire dreams and visions to the audience, and provided an opportunity for ballet to grow into a comprehensive art and to become popular.
