+Ballet is popular among limited high society circles, especially [[The Dispossessed]], in and around [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]. The form is not native to Urcea. It was introduced to the country in 1852 by a group of traveling dancers from [[Burgundie]]. These dancers were well-trained in the classical ballet tradition and were invited to perform in Urcea's major cities, where they attracted the attention of the country's social and political elite, eventually including a performance to [[Apostolic King of Urcea|King]] [[Aedanicus VIII]] in October 1852. As interest in ballet grew, some of these dancers decided to stay in Urcea and began teaching the art form to local students. Over time, ballet academies were established in the major cities and the art form became more widespread, although it remained primarily popular among the upper classes.
