...abrupt movements that work so well in Anaendrom and Walklyndon seem somewhat out of place in the more serious dances. Terra Cotta is a dance at deux in which a couple begin mirroring each other's movements and finally dance ensemble. Jerky steps detract from the intimacy established by otherwise graceful and romantic poses as the bodies join. But even in these dancers, the originality and diversity of the choreography sustains a great deal of excitement...
...members of the Paul Taylor Dance Company, Nureyev has programmed an ambitious mix of diverse styles ranging from demi-pointe to barefoot. Not the least of the challenges are the rapid-fire transformations from Balanchine's neoclassical Apollo to the romantic rustic in Bournonville's pas de deux from the Flower Festival in Genzano and, eventually, into the crazed moor of Limon's The Moor's Pavane...
...placate the Gaullists, Giscard quickly denounced Stehlin for making public his appraisal of the fighters' merits and went out of his way to visit Colombey-les-deux-Eglises to mark the fourth anniversary of the death of le grand Charles.

Said one fan: "He took off like a jet." And when the Panovs completed the program with Valeri's own choreography of Harlequinade, they were acclaimed with...
...some as a pioneer in experimental cinema--particularly of the stop-motion technique. Other titles by McLaren include Dots and Loops, Boogie Doodie and A Chairy Tale. I've only seen one of these little nightmares, the one most commonly shown in this country, something called Pas de Deux. In fact, I must have seen it 300 times--it seems like everytime I settle back for some good light feature the distant toot of panpipes (Panpipes!) is heard and this "short" comes on for what seems like days. The content of this vicious bummer is two silouetted dancers--white tights...
