"she is my ballet"

{love this art print by hammerpress}

why are so many ballet terms in french?
because the French were among the first to write them down. many are actually everyday words that just sound fancy to us. e.g.'Plier' is actually French for 'bend.

is the word 'ballet' french as well?

it is, but it actually comes from the Italian word 'ballare' from which we also get the word 'ballroom'.
