His name is Rustublian Microfarespolingetrianolibus. Who dares to contradict me?
Kidding. Nobody knows. Ballet was not really invented, ballet is a form of dance and nobody invented that, either. At the beginning, dance had a purpose different from having fun: rituals. It was a way to prepare for war, a way to prepare for going hunting, a way to chase away the bad spirits etc. Then it became a form of having fun. Later, it was turned into art.

It is thought that dance started with prehistoric man...And is known to have been used in Egypt under the pharoahs for religious ceremonies and rituals, and also in ancient Greece.
it dissapeared for centuries during the daark ages, and was revived by the Medici family in renaissance period Italy. Also in France under Louis 14th. who was known as patron of the arts and ballet among them...
