How do you use body language to express yourself? 9 Ballet is a special form of art. It's a French word. It means “to dance”. There's no talking or singing in ballet. Instead, the ballet dancers express themselves through dance. They also use other forms of body language, such as gestures and facial expressions, to tell stories. Ballet began in Western Europe in the 15th century. Today it has become popular all over the world. One of the most famous ballets in the world is Swan Lake. The dancers tell the story and express different feelings through their body language. For example, when the Prince meets the Swan Queen, she tells him her story. When she meets someone who will love her forever, she will return to her human self. The dancer holds her hands to her heart to mean love and points to the sky to say forever. Ballet is beautiful, but it's not easy to become a ballet dancer. Many of the dance moves are very difficult. For example, dancers need to make difficult jumps and kick their legs sideways. Female ballet dancers even need to balance on the tips of their toes. Training usually starts at an early age, and the dancers have to go through a lot of training to keep their bodies strong. They have to practise very hard every day. They learn to use their bodies to express all kinds of feelings in a beautiful way. 1 2 3 4 5-6 7 8 通过舞蹈表达自己 特殊的艺术形式 手势和面部表情 全世界 通过肢体语言表达不同的情感 hold one's hands to one's heart 把手放在心口（表示 “爱”） 指向天空（表示 “永远”） 在很小的时候 经历大量训练 以优美的方式 useful expressions 测一测 ： 读短语说中文 a special form of art Instead express themselves through dance use other forms of body language gestures facial expressions express different feelings through their body language points to the sky go through a lot of training express all kinds of feelings in a beautiful way Try to introduce ballet according to the key words. * ballet; * body language; * Western Europe; * 15th century; * Swan Lake; * training; *to express all kinds of feelings *in a beautiful way Besides ballet, what other types of performing arts do you know?
