Abstract: People know and understand ballet because they watch it or study how to do it or perform it. In more formal terms, they participate in widespread social and cultural structures through which they learn about ballet, thus perpetuating and sometimes altering it. These structures are both institutional (ballet classes, dance schools, companies, performances, film presentations, producing organisations and government agencies) and ideological (beliefs about art, dance, choreography, the body and gender). These structures also exist through time, so that the ways people have created ballet historically affect the present.KeywordsAnorexia NervosaBallet DancerGender RepresentationDance ClassFemale Role ModelThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
