Happiness Minute

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

The Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre has “A Brief History of Ballet ” which, you can probably guess, is a quick introduction to the origins of ballet. “Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century. Noblemen and women were treated to lavish events, especially wedding celebrations, where dancing and music created an elaborate spectacle.” One amusing tidbit in the article mentions a couple of Russian choreographers in the 20th century who put out a ballet that included such dissonant music with unfamiliar ballet movements that it caused the audience to riot. Not graceful.
