- Bell tutu so the ballerinas are only showing their ankles-this was so you could see their foot work and it was also fashion for the public in the era.

- The point shoes create a weightlessness effect-this also creates a realistic love story.
- Males are only there because they are used for support-there is a decline in males onstage to offstage but there strength is needed for the lifts used in ballet dances.
- Sunset creating night scenes enhancing the supernatural theme-using gas lamps creating the moonlight effect.
- Ballerinas performing little steps-this was fashion because the culture said that no legs should be shown and also movement vocabulary shows that the moves are not developed.
Setting of Performance
- The invention of gas lighting within the theatre of the time to create night time scene.
