This second volume in The Art of the Pas de Deux series features some of the ballet world's greatest dancers in the works of equally celebrated choreographers. The performances cover a range of forty years and a century of choreographic styles, ranging from the traditional dance vocabulary of Petipa to the emotion-laden world of Todd Bolender's The Still Point. In all of these excerpts, the dancers featured share a close association with their roles, providing unsurpassed authenticity in style.
