EMERALDS Pas De Deux (Balanchine/Faure)

Here are Karin Von Aroldingen and Sean Lavery in the central Pas De Deux from EMERALDS originally choreographed for Mimi Paul and Francisco Moncion...two of the most stylish dancers in the history of the New York City Ballet. Never-the-less, these two exceptional dancers brought the same gravitas and elegance as did the originals. Quite a feat.

I'm sure they are doing this beautiful dance in heaven. How beautiful.

Only Balanchine could make such beautiful poetry like this.

Beautiful serene..peaceful. Thank you faure...

Those low dipping movements capture the romanticism and floral delicacy and dewiness of the music so beautifully and well.

Patrick Hamilton Oh No! I hadn’t heard. So sad. What a great guy as well as dancer.

Last night, Sean took his final curtain call. He’s left the theatre.

Impressione di fluente leggerezza e naturalita ' in questo balletto che contempla quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo della ballerina ottimamente indotto dal partner. Ottime dell'ensemble alcune pose figurali. Capaci ed efficaci.Bighin GIULIO RENZO

So sad they passed away within a month of each other. Why the heck?
