Neoclassical ballet developed from classical ballet in the 1920s and evolved throughout the 20th century. It uses advanced techniques of classical ballet to open up new dance ideas. It uses minimalist costumes and sets, with no strict and rigorous structure.

Neoclassical ballet was known as the revival or adaptation of classical ballet and is defined by the abstract movements and new positions outside the classical ballet, and a slightly touch of risque in physicality.

Using traditional ballet vocabulary and techniques resulted in a remarkable, beautiful and virtuous genre of dance, known today as neoclassical ballet
