The "Pas de Quatre" is a ballet divertissement, a
ballet with no plot, but just a choreography for the demonstration
of technique.
The "Pas de Quatre" represents the first effort in
the history of ballet to persuade four of the most famous ballerinas
to appear together. M TaglionI, C. Crisi, F Cerrito,
and L. Grahn.
Even though the dancers caused greats problems to the choreographer
J. Perrot with their requirements, the performance
that took place in London 1845, to music by C.Pugni,
left the public and critics, speechless, and was discussed for
a long time after.
This choreography is the best interpretation of the romantic
era of dance.
