In this context, it focuses on the process of forming the aesthetic ideas of ballet theater in Ukraine as a phenomenon, the development and updating of which took place under the influence of new social, historical, cultural realities and the use of foreign choreographic and stage experience. The tendencies of reforming the ballet theater in Ukraine of the 1960–1970s are revealed; the evolution of the expressive means of choreography is traced over a certain period and their influence on the language and form of the ballet performance is analyzed. Conclusions. The evolution of new means of expressiveness of the ballet theater in Ukraine in the 1960–1970s. significantly contributed to the expansion and deepening of the figurative sphere of domestic choreographic art, which was reflected primarily in the dominance in the performances of the leading choreographers of the subtlest psychological nuances and shades, penetration deep into the subject, the masterful reflection of reality and philosophical ideas. Ukrainian choreographers are gradually changing their own “biased” attitude to the movement, getting rid of bold experimental productions of canons and given forms, in the creative search for their own style and language. However, despite the directors' desire for abstractness and minimalism, nevertheless, the programmatic and screenplay basis is preserved in the ballet performances of Ukrainian opera houses.
