...endlessly inventive Petipa-styled variations. The other corps, as mock Magyars, stomped and whirled through a rousing czardas that looked as if it might have been borrowed from Russia's bouncy, folkish Moiseyev dancers. Hayden, naturally, was given a brace of queenly solo turns and a pas de deux with Favorite Partner Jacques d'Amboise calculated to accent her un obtrusively cool, legato manner...
