I love On the Beautiful Blue Danube (An Der Schöen Blauen Donau) by Johann Strauss II.



and here's a fun Simpsons take on that piece:



I also like Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, in particular the Neapolitan Dance:



When I was a kid, we did a ballet dance routine to Léo Delibes' Suite from Sylvia: Pizzicato. You may know this piece from the movie Babe, when Babe was fooling around with the paint cans and the yarn.



And finally, for some 20th century ballet: Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Here's some of it (well the first part!)
