ballet performances
Staged dance recitals
Ballet performances are staged presentations of ballet—a classical dance form characterized by precise, formalized movements and elaborate choreography.
The phrase emphasizes the event itself: the production mounted for an audience, complete with costumes, music, and staging.
We attended three ballet performances during our trip to Moscow.
A single dancer might give many ballet performances of the same role over a career.
