Famous Ballets
The first formal 'court ballet' ever recognized was staged in 1573, 'Ballet des Polonais'. In true form of royal entertainment, 'Ballet des Polonais' was commissioned by Catherine de' Medici to honor the Polish ambassadors who were visiting Paris upon the accession of Henry of Anjou to the throne of Poland.
La Fille mal gardée (English: The Wayward Daughter, literal translation: "The Poorly Guarded Girl" and also known as The Girl Who Needed Watching) is one of the oldest and most important works in the modern ballet repertory, having been kept alive throughout its long performance history by way of many revivals. The ballet was premiered on 1 July 1789 in Bordeaux, France. The work has undergone many changes of title and has had no fewer than six scores, some of which were adaptations of older music.

Classical vs. Neoclassical vs. Contemporary
1. Classical ballet is any of the traditional, formal styles of
ballet that exclusively employ classical ballet technique. It is known
for its aesthetics and rigorous technique, its flowing, precise
movements, and its ethereal qualities. It tells a story.
2. Neoclassical ballet is the style of 20th-century classical ballet exemplified by the works of George Balanchine. The term "neoclassical ballet" appears in the 1920s with Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, in response to the excesses of romanticism and post-romantic modernism.
3. Contemporary ballet is a genre of dance that incorporates elements of classical ballet and modern dance.
