Giselle, the peasant pas de quatre
Three minutes from the first act of Giselle, during the Dutch National Ballet's tour of China.
The peasant pas de quatre is a page from the first act of Giselle. It is short, quick and unforgiving: four dancers, the same phrase, and all the distance between four bodies moving together and four bodies moving side by side.
This recording is from the Dutch National Ballet’s tour of China, in October 2014, on the stage of the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing.
