The purpose of the study is to examine publications on the explanation of training and ballet techniques with regard to ballet movements. The aim was to determine the density of preferences for ballet movements. Electronic databases were used to identify full-text publications in Turkish and English. The keywords used were "ballet exercise", "ballet training" and "ballet movements". To examine current studies, publications between 2001 and 2023 were included in the compilation. Training programs that improve ballet technique and publications on ballet training were systematically examined. A total of 33 publications on ballet technique improvement training programs and 31 publications on ballet training were included in the review. It has been understood that publications improving ballet technique mainly include method comparisons, bar movements, jumping and turning exercises. Ballet dancers, modern dancers, children, people with health problems and sedentary people are five different classifications of participants in the ballet training publications. All participant groups have bar and middle exercises. The widespread use of plié and battement tendu movements are noteworthy in terms of movement. As a result of the systematic review, ballet methods come to the fore as useful publications for developing technical excellence. In the studies examined, it was understood that middle exercises were mostly used by ballet dancers, and bar exercises were mostly used by sedentary individuals and individuals with health problems. It is possible for ballet training to be planned according to different participant characteristics and to vary in terms of movement execution that possible to choose various ballet movements in different training programs.
