While preparing a presentation on early twentieth-century dance, a student takes the following notes:
- In 1913, modern dancer Vaslav Nijinsky choreographed the ballet *The Rite of Spring* for the Ballets Russes in Paris.
- The music for the ballet was composed by Igor Stravinsky.
- The performance's unconventional, rhythmic music and radical choreography broke with traditional classical ballet rules.
- The premiere performance at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées provoked a riot among members of the audience.
- Some audience members were outraged by the discordant music, while others shouted in support of the experimental performance.
