Welcome to the final part of my Serenade deconstruction - the breathtaking Elegy! This is one of the most iconic, emotionally powerful moments in all of classical ballet. As a former New York City Ballet soloist who performed the Elegy countless times, I'm breaking down the tricky partnering, the multiple interpretations of this mysterious ending, and the choreographic genius that makes the Elegy so hauntingly beautiful. *Footage courtesy of PBS.
