Summary/Abstract: In this article the author presents an original typology of contemporary ballet from a musicological standpoint. On the one hand, the proposed classification is based on already existing typologies of ballet as a dance genre. On the other hand, it proposes new criteria which take into account only the musical aspects of ballet performances. The said typology considers ballet works by Ukrainian composers from the period 1980–2020.
