Ballet dancing is the most disciplined form of dancing that follows traditional dancing movements that have evolved into a fusion with expressive dancing styles for jazz, rock along with classical music. In fact, most professional modern dancers such as those in dance ensembles for musicals, stage performances and figure skating are rooted in ballet disciplines. A resume should include a portfolio of ballet performances, awards and recognitions.
