good start, needs more expalination in reference to style (lines - shape - form - technique - lineage)

i would also argue that some of the works are modern ballet and or classical ballet. i would mostlty contest Frederick Ashton and Kenneth MacMillan as british ballet choreographers didn't really make it to Neoclassical ballet. and went from modern ballet to classical (russian) and is almost reached Post-structuralist ballet (ashley page)

i would therefore suggest that Ashton and MacMillan are removed from this page.

Any ballet utilizing traditional ballet vocabulary created after Apollo can be considered neoclassical. this is not strictly true, a ballet is classed according to content and the choreographic process. it also does not allow for Post-structuralist ballet (William Forsyth)' also neoclassical ballet e x t e n d s the tradintion ballet vocabulary can convention with is hyper extended lines etc and technical virtuosity above 'drama' and 'acting' also returned to the cult of the ballerina as male dancers slipped out of the limelight again.

how about neoclassical ballet dancers?
