Pennsylvania Ballet shows off in works by Balanchine, Petipa, and Wheeldon

The Bayerische Staatsballett offers us a fascinating journey back in time with Alexei Ratmansky's restaging of Petipa's Paquita. 

Grand, bold dancing by great Ballerinas! Ballerinas dance their favourite pieces. Sexy and sleek Brandsen. Lovely, deep Wheeldon. Larissa Lezhnina's last night. An absolute go see.

It would be hard to find someone who has not heard of Anna Pavlova. The name alone conjures up words such as elegant, visionary, iconic. Her acclaim results from a career in ballet spanning over 30 years, in which she had a tremendous influence over the world of classical dance and earned her place as one of the finest Russian ballerinas in history.
