Mathew Bourne depicts a classic ballet type of dancing that was merely represented among the male type of dances in Britain. The theoretical dance moves represent an artistic technique of dancing elements that includes costume, music and stage scenery (Johnson, 2006).

Since then, the classic ballet type of dance has collected more than thirty international awards and considered among the type of dance originating in the Italian renaissance age.
