...have to be a dance scholar to get most of the jokes. There are lightning tours of the classics: the distinctive, flattened arm gestures in L'Apres-Midi d'un Faun, several quotes from Swan Lake, including the Prince's defiance as his mother points imperiously at her wedding ring -- "No, I will not marry any of these boring girls" -- and so on up to Paul Taylor's Airs.
