The Sea and Pearls

     I talk about pas de trois of "The Sea and Pearls.  Pas de trois is danced in a man and two women.  This ballet is a part of "The Hump-back Horse" which is one of ballet works.  Also, the pas de trois is a part of scene that chief character Ivan goes to the bottom of the sea in "The Hump-back Horse".  However, the pas de trois is not almost related to the story of "The Hump-back Horse".  Today, only the pas de trois is often danced at gala concert.

     When I watched this pas de trois, I think it is so beautiful.  I like variation of pearls in particular.  Two women's conbination is wonderful.  Also, they wear white short dress, so they are cute.  In short, this variation is beautiful and cute.  It is not so famous but I recommend that you watch it.

Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux

           

     Today, I introduce "Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux".  This is not pas de deux of any ballet works.  This is composed by Tchaikovsky to use for pas de deux of black swan of "Swan Lake" but it was unpopularity.  This is why Tchaikovsky did not announce this music.  Later, Balanchine choreographed current pas de deux using this music.  The pas de deux are often dance at gala concert.  Because this music is bright music, I was surprised when I knew that it is composed for pas de deux for black swan.  This pas de deux does not have line of story, so I think you enjoy classical ballet without thinking about some stories.  A woman dancer does not wear tutu but dress, so she is cute. Also this work is so beautiful.  I like woman's variation the best in this pas de deux and I like both music and dance.  Once I watch this variation, I want to watch it many times.
