From "The Dance Class, 1873-1876 (oil on canvas)" to "The Orchestra of the Opera, 1868 (oil on canvas), " each painting transports us to a time when classical dance reigned supreme. In "The Dance Foyer at the Opera Rue Le Peletier, 1872 (oil on canvas), " we witness the bustling energy behind-the-scenes as dancers prepare for their performances.

"Ballet or The Star or Dancer on Stage, 1876-1877 (pastel)" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time, highlighting the artistry of ballet. Meanwhile, "Classical Dance: Miss Rosati in 1848" pays homage to one of its pioneers. Moving beyond paintings, we explore other forms of artistic expression related to danse classique. In Klinger's work titled "Pattern of Two Women in Dance Costume, " from circa 1920's publication called "The Woman in Modern Decoration, " we see how dance influenced fashion and design during that era. Costumes also play a significant role in this art form. Phobos' drawing for the ballet costume "Narcissus" showcases intricate details that enhance dancers' movements while captivating audiences with their visual appeal. We cannot forget about those who accompany dancers—the musicians.
