It has been called the “quintessential ballet” (quintessential means the purest and most perfect or the embodiment of, in this case, ballet!) and is often the show that pops into people’s minds when the word ballet is mentioned. Since its premiere in Moscow, Russia, it has been presented in over 150 versions by more than 100 companies in at least 25 different countries. That’s a lot of swans! Swan Lake didn’t start out successfully – which is surprising, considering its fame today. It premiered on February 20, 1877, and although Tchaikovsky’s spectacular music was used from the beginning, the choreography, originally done by Julius Reisinger, was less than stellar. A critic who was at the performance wrote, "Mr. Reisinger’s dances are weak in the extreme.... Incoherent waving of the legs that continued through the course of four hours - is this not torture? The corps de ballet stamp up and down in the same place, waving their arms like a windmill’s vanes - and the soloists jump about the stage in gymnastic steps." Ouch! Unfortunately Reisinger failed to mesh his choreography with the psychological, beautiful music Tchaikovsky created.
  • A Romantic Tutu Inspired by the Costumes of the Pas De Quatre Ballet of 1845

    A Romantic Tutu Inspired by the Costumes of the Pas De Quatre Ballet of 1845

    Allycia Coolidge wearing a romantic tutu inspired by the costumes of the Pas de Quatre ballet of 1845. Photograph by Joanna Lupker. MAKING HISTORY: A ROMANTIC TUTU By Allycia Coolidge & In our Making History project, we chose to analyze and recreate a Romantic Joanna Lupker tutu inspired by the Pas de Quatre ballet. This ballet was first performed in BDes Fashion Students London, England during the Romantic era on July 12, 1845 and choreographed by Jules Perrot. This ballet featured four prima ballerinas of the Romantic era: January 20, 2017 Lucile Grahn, Taglioni, Carlotta, and Fanny Cerrito. They were icons of the time and often appeared in each other’s benefit performances, but this was the first performance to showcase all four leading female dancers in a single ballet. Prior to the Romantic period, female dancers wore heavy constrictive dresses resembling court fashion that weighed them down and limited their ability to dance. The key change in ballet costuming was the rise of skirt hems, which was seen as quite scandalous at the time (Mida 37). The changes allowed ballerinas to show off their much improved and intricate footwork. This new shortened ballet skirt fell to just below the knee. The Romantic tutu endures as a classic costume of ballet that continues to be featured in performances of major dance companies around the world. Each element of the costume emphasizes the femininity of the dancer. 1 When this ballet was presented in 1845, the bodices of the costumes were constructed very similarly to those seen in regular clothing. Like the corsets of the time, they were tight (Bicat), with low cut necklines to put the dancer’s long necks on display (Victoria and Albert Museum).

    Since Ballet Terms Can Often Be Tricky to Pronounce, I Have Included the Word Translations in Brackets to Help You Say the Terms

    Since ballet terms can often be tricky to pronounce, I have included the word translations in brackets to help you say the terms. A Adage, Adagio (a-DAHZH) At ease or at leisure. Adage is incorporated into ballet classes and most classical pas de deux combinations. It is a series of slow, graceful exercises during the centre practice which is generally focused on line, balance and fluidity. It takes lots of practice to gain the stability and control whilst still having a sense of fluid movement. En L'Air (ahn lehr) In the air. This ballet term is generally associated with ballet movements that are in the air. For example, tour en l'air which is a high turning jump mainly for the male dancers. It indicates that for ballet exercises like rond de jambe and adage the leg should be lifted off the floor, such as rond de jambe en l'air. Allégro ([a-lay-GROH) Bright and brisk movements. This ballet term is associated to all jumps in ballet. So, whether it is petite allégro, or grand allégro a dancer will aim to show a sense of ballon and spring in the elevation. Arabesque (a-ra-BESK) This is one of the basic poses in ballet. The position of an arabesque shows one leg as the supporting leg and the other extended behind you. The arms can be held in various positions to show a first, second, or third arabesque. An arabesque is like a tendu derriere but lifted en l'air. The aim is to lift the leg without showing too much adjustment in the body, such as pitching forward.

    Pression and Shock, He Burned His Ballet Slippers and Fled to the Sewers, Only to Surface These Forty Years Later

    Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo “The funniest night you will ever have at the ballet.” - Sunday Times “This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy.” -The Seattle Times History th Celebrating its 40 Anniversary season, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo was founded in 1974 by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form and en travesti, Les Ballets Trockadero first performed in the late-late shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts. The TROCKS, as they are affectionately known, quickly garnered a major critical essay by Arlene Croce in The New Yorker, and combined with reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice, established the Company as an artistic and popular success. By mid 1975, the TROCKS' inspired blend of their loving knowledge of dance, their comic approach, and the astounding fact that men can, indeed, dance en pointe without falling flat on their faces, was being noted beyond New York. Articles and notices in publications such as Variety, Oui, The London Daily Telegraph, as well as a Richard Avedon photo essay in Vogue, made the Company nationally and internationally known. The 1975-76 season was a year of growth and full professionalization. The Company found management, qualified for the National Endowment for the Arts Touring Program, and hired a full-time teacher and ballet mistress to oversee daily classes and rehearsals. Also in this season, they made their first extended tours of the United States and Canada. Packing, unpacking, and repacking tutus and drops, stocking giant sized toe shoes by the case; running for planes and chartered buses all became routine parts of life.

    i THE CUBAN BALLET: ITS RATIONALE, AESTHETICS AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY AS FORMULATED BY ALICIA ALONSO A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Lester Tomé January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Joellen Meglin, Advisory Chair, Dance Karen Bond, Dance Michael Klein, Music Theory Heather Levi, External Member, Anthropology ii © Copyright 2011 by Lester Tomé All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT In the 1940s, Alicia Alonso became the first Latin American dancer to achieve international prominence in the field of ballet, until then dominated by Europeans. Promoted by Alonso, ballet took firm roots in Cuba in the following decades, particularly after the Cuban Revolution (1959). This dissertation integrates the methods of historical research, postcolonial critique and discourse analysis to explore the performative and discursive strategies through which Alonso defined her artistic identity and the collective identity of the Cuban ballet. The present study also examines the historical context of the development of ballet in Cuba, Alonso’s rationale for the practice of ballet on the Island, and the relationship between the Cuban ballet and the European ballet. Alonso defended the legitimacy of Cuban dancers to practice ballet and, in specific, perform European classics such as Giselle and Swan Lake. She opposed the notion that ballet was the exclusive patrimony of Europeans. She also insisted that the cultivation of this dance form on the Island was not an act of cultural colonialism. In her view, the development of ballet in Cuba consisted, instead, of an exploration of a distinctive Cuban voice within this dance form, a reformulation of a European legacy from a postcolonial perspective.

  • Ballet Glossary

    Ballet Glossary

    Ballet Glossary A A la séconde - Meaning literally, “to the side.” A la séconde refers to the placement of the working leg, in this case positioned directly to the side of the dancer, raised or touching the floor. Act - A division of a ballet that contains one or more scenes. Typically an act in any classical or romantic era ballet will average about an hour in length, though it varies between performances. Some ballets, such as Giselle, are only two acts, while Swan Lake is divided into four. AD - Stands for “Artistic Director.” The AD is the head of a ballet studio or company, and the person from whom orders are given, cast lists are made, and dreams are granted or crushed. Ballerinas can be heard ranting about their AD frequently, especially during casting season. Adagio - Meaning “slowly,” an adagio is a part of ballet comprised of slow, soft, flowing movements. In a Grand Pas de Deux, the adagio is the second portion. It follows the entrée and precedes the variations and coda. Allegro - Meaning “joyful,” an allegro is a part of ballet comprised of quick movement and many jumps. Petit (little) allegro involves small, quick jumps and lightning fast footwork, while grande (big) allegro features the enormous leaps and jumps that have become the hallmark of ballet. Allongé - Meaning “elongated.” Allongé refers to a position of the arms in which they are fully extended. Aplomb - A term to describe the central line or stability of a position. A dancer wants to maintain perfect aplomb, meaning that his/her movements are controlled and steady.
