The Top 12 Ballet School In The World By Camille Severino
1. The Paris Opera Ballet School Paris, France
Louis XIV founded the ballet institution that makes it to the top of our list in the year 1713. At first children were not meant to attend. Seven years later they formed the first regulations that would enable children to learn ballet. Four years after that Louis XVI enlarges the school’s repertoire-allowing enrollment of children under the age of twelve. His belief being that the younger they learn the easier it will be. By the end of the Romantic period the school was struggling. Still it remained intact due to generous donations. This ballet school has been educating the world’s finest ballet dancers for more than three centuries. It has remained in the top three slots as best ballet education in the world and from what we can tell; it isn’t going down anytime soon.
