	Pas de deux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In ballet, a pas de deux (French, step/dance for two) is a duet in which ballet steps are performed together.
		A Grand Pas de deux is a duet in which a male and female dancer perform together.
		Pas de deux: means literally not as two (inferring two are like one).

	Evening of Russian Ballet - Review
		In the pas de deux from La Sylphide she didn’t need any props or set to give us the style and the wafting scent of that especially delicate romantic ballet.
		In the pas de deux Le Grand Pas Classique that he danced with Villja Putriute, he had easy soft turns and a light jump that was especially noticeable juxtaposed against his partner’s brittle performance.
		It is very difficult to evoke and capture the atmosphere of Giselle merely by presenting on a bare stage the grand pas de deux from the second act all alone without the previous act to set the mood.

		In the original 1898 staging the character Jeanne de Brienne did not dance a variaiton at all, and the only male solo in all of the ballet was the third variation in the Act II 'Grand Pas d'Action', which was danced by a lone soloist (CD 2, track 7).
		Minkus composed this Pas in 1881 for Petipa's revival of "Paquita" to be interpolated into Act II, along with a Pas de Trois for Act I, and a Polonaise and Mazurka for Children from the Imperial Theatre School.
		The pas de deux recorded here takes place at the beginning of Act II of the ballet, in which the Sylph dances with James, and subsequently the enitre retinue of her fellow Sylphs joins in.

	Chez Alice : Russian Glamour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		One reason is the enormous challenges of classical ballet repertoires for both the corps de ballet and principal dancers.
		The repertoire modality in the three ballets includes grand pas de deux (consist of Entree, male and female Variations, Coda), solo variations, and others, which are among the selections of international ballet competitions.
		These dazzling skills should be simultaneously balanced by the subtlety of port de bras movements along with pantomimic gestures to express the inner feelings of dancers.

		He also changed the structure of the grand pas de deux by having the Sugar Plum Fairy perform her variation at the beginning of the second act, omitting the cavalier's variation, thus leaving only the adagio and coda sections for later.
		In 1958 the pas de deux became a pas de cinq, the ballerina being partnered by 4 men from the preceding divertissements.
		The pas de deux was reinstated and the Arabian variation changed from one for a man to one for a woman.

		Le Grand Pas de Deux (1999): Choreography by Christian Spuck, Music by Gioachino Rossini (Overture to The Thieving Magpie), Costumes by Nicole Siggelkow, Lighting by Brad Fields, Performed by Xiomara Reyes and Herman Cornejo, Conductor: David LaMarche.
		Flames of Paris: Pas de Deux (1972): Choreography from the original by Vasily Vainonen, Music by Boris Asafiev, Performed by Gillian Murphy and Gennadi Saveliev, Conductor: David LaMarche.
		Skill in leaps and lifts is necessary to the execution of the choreography, but, after all, ballet is often a metaphor of love, and a Pas de Deux should at least create the illusion, however difficult, that there is a chemical and emotional connection between the dancers.

		Balanchine's "Theme and Variations" began the program, and the crowd drew in a collective breath as the curtain rose on a radiant Paloma Herrera in a glittering pink costume with Marcelo Gomes opposite her framed by a female corps costumed in lavender tutus.
		Herrera also demonstrated exquisitely steady balance, especially notable in a segment where she was supported by the corps busily fluttering around her like a swarm of bees, weaving forms with quick bourrees.
		The three virgins -- the fanatical one, the greedy one, and the lustful one (played by Erica Fischbach, Adrienne Schulte, and Kelley Waddell, respectively) -- are enticed by the Devil (Carlos Molina) to abandon their purity and enter his cave, the gate to hell.

		Tomasson has drawn on earlier Grand Pas de Deux for his setting, but it’s an emotionally and musically satisfying unity.
		LeBlanc’s seamless phrasing and her delicate pointe work in the variation (restored to its rightful place in the sequence) are the stuff of legend around the Opera House.
		No extraneous melodrama mars the purity of her attack, although a series of sudden diagonal jetés across the stage reveals this artist’s innate showmanship./ Review
