Valentine's Day 2023:
Pas de Deux Workshop
11 February 2023 (Sat)
11.15am - 12.30pm
In classical ballet, pas de deux [paa-duh-dur] translates to “step of two”. It is usually performed by a female and a male dancer.
The order of a grand pas de deux usually follows (but is not limited to) an entrada (introduction), an adagio (main pas de deux), a male variation (solo) followed by a female variation (solo), and finally, a coda (finale).
During a pas de deux, the female dancer is usually supported by the male dancer as they execute techniques such as promenades, lifts, turns and jumps. There is an equal amount of strength and technique from both dancers to coordinate the partnered work.
