La Vivandiere Pas de Six

World renowned ballet historian Ivor Guest provides the historical background of the piece -- the period, choreography and style. The Study and Performance Notes are the result of productions of the Labanotation, the contemporary dance notation system, and make the choreography accessible internationally to researchers, students, teachers and dancers. While the steps are challenging on a technical level, the ballet is an excellent piece for students of dance, and provides insight into the Romantic Ballet style.
The "Pas de Six" from "La Vivandiere" is the only ballet that has been preserved intact from the glorious Romantic period of ballet. Recorded in detail by the choreographer Arthur Saint-Leon in his own dance notation system, it can now be revived for audiences to enjoy and scholars to study.
