Скачать или смотреть Pas de Déesses, Joffrey Ballet - Choreography by Robert Joffrey

Pas de Déesses means "Dance of the Goddesses". This delicate remembrance of the Romantic Era was created by Robert Joffrey in 1954, and has been a mainstay of the company ever since. Inspired by a 19th century lithograph, it's an imaginary glimpse of three great ballerinas, Lucile Grahn, Marie Taglioni and Fanny Cerrito meeting - and competing! - for the attentions of Arthur St. Leon, the great male partner (who in real life was married to Fanny Cerrito).
