I think it might be King Louis XIV, but I'm not sure. The 5 positions of the feet refers to the positions one does in ballet today...just back then the turn-out we do today wasn't yet enforced.
please help! need to know for a midterm and I can't find the answer anywhere!

That is because there is no answer. No ONE person came up with the idea of ballet. No ONE person created the 5 positions, and anyone who tells you otherwise is kidding themselves.

I googled it in German... the name of the person was Katariina di Medici. She was an Italian dancer, who married a French King.... click on this link: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.norssi.jyu.fi/kuvat_projektit_ja_julkaisut/projektit_7-9_ja_lukio/cdeutsch_S2003/Kangas/baletti.htm&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=2&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DGeschichte%2B%2Bdes%2BBallets%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG
The translation is pretty poor, but you get the idea.
