Abstract

Ballet pedagogy has evolved significantly over the centuries, with traditional teaching methods focused on strict technical mastery and contemporary approaches emphasizing creativity, individuality, and holistic development. This paper explores the key differences between traditional and modern ballet teaching methodologies, examining their implications for dance education and the training of future professional dancers. A comparative analysis highlights the shifting teacher-student dynamics, assessment strategies, and the impact of technological innovations such as AI in ballet training. The paper discusses the challenges faced by educators in balancing tradition with innovation and offers recommendations for integrating modern pedagogical tools without compromising classical techniques. Additionally, the paper investigates the global influence on ballet pedagogy, emphasizing the importance of cultural exchange and inclusivity in shaping the future of ballet education. The study concludes with reflections on the potential of technology and the importance of continued teacher development to address the evolving needs of ballet students.
