Thank you for the question, @papagena_
Yes! Fabulous that you would like to learn more about the ballet world. In order to not over load you with ideas and suggestions, as there really is a huge supply of materials out there that can take you in all sorts of fascinating directions. I’ve compiled two videos each about the two choreographers that I find the most interesting and influential in my life, George Balanchine and August Bournonville.
Balanchine:
Balanchine History:
Fantastic Clips of many Balanchine Ballets showing the diversity and range:
