"Genius of the Dance" is a bronze sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux created in 1864. The sculpture depicts a female figure in a dynamic, expressive pose, her body swirling in a rhythmic movement as she holds a tambourine aloft. A putto, symbolizing the spirit of the dance, lies at her feet. This bronze sculpture embodies the energy and exuberance of the French Second Empire and the growing popularity of ballet in the 19th century. The work is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
