Ballet Adagio
Description
This
slow-motion study of one of classical ballet’s most spectacular forms, the adagio
from the pas de deux, was a revelation for most audience members. It
displays the control, balance and precision of the dancers’ every gesture as
they move through each pirouette, arabesque and jeté. Set
to Albinoni’s Adagio, the film, which features the
internationally renowned Canadian dancers David and Anna Marie Holmes, offered
dance students a unique tool to better understand their art form.
