Maria Khoreva - Suite en blanc, ballet - Adagio

In ballet, Adagio refers to slow movement, typically performed with the greatest amount of grace and fluidity than other movements of dance. In a typical Grand Pas de Deux, the adagio is often the first movement or section where the ballerina is partnered by her male dancer partner. While pas de deux surely translates to “steps for two,” a partnered adagio can also come in other relationships, such as a pas de trois of 2 females and 1 male (for instance, in Swan Lake’s first act “Pas de Trois”) or 2 males and 1 female (in the case of some versions of the Pas de Esclave from Le Corsaire). *https://ballethub.com/ #ballet #ballerina #mariakhoreva #dance #mariinsky
