Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is the Ballet alphabet? (Definition)
The Ballet alphabet is a series of silhouettes of ballet dancers associated with the letters of the Latin alphabet published in 2004 by someshinzz.
It seems that the correspondence of positions with letters is arbitrary and unrelated to ballet terminology.
How to encrypt using Ballet alphabet?
Encryption consists of replacing the letters A-Z, a-z or the numbers 1-9 with the associated symbol.
