I did not know this, that's why I love this game. Every day you learn something new is a great day.

I always thought the birthplace of ballet was France...and that was not even an option! Ooooops!!

The idea of performance using athletic moves may have originated in Italy, but the codification of classical ballet as we know it (foot positions, the basic moves) took place in France, in the court of Louis XVI.

Vel, I did. I took ballet, tap dancing, hula and Polynesian dance classes in California as a child. I always thought it originated in France. Most all ballet dance moves are in french terminology. Huh!?

Vel, I thought it was Russia, also not a choice.
