This Balanchine ballet is so special, but it is SO hard! The double coda (meaning it's twice as long) is especially tricky - it requires incredible stamina and precision from both partners.
I loved dancing this piece with the wonderful Sean Rollofso.. This pas de deux is one of Balanchine's most iconic works, and performing it was always a highlight.The athleticism, artistry, and trust required between partners makes this one of the most challenging - and rewarding - pieces in the repertoire.
