The Dance Class by Edgar Degas, painted in 1874, is a renowned work capturing a scene from the world of ballet, a subject Degas revisited throughout his career. In The Dance Class, Degas portrays a ballet lesson with dancers practicing or resting, overseen by their instructor, Jules Perrot, who stands in the background. The scene is filled with dancers in various poses—some stretching, others waiting, a few fixing their attire—all offering a glimpse into the informal, behind-the-scenes world of ballet.
