Swan Lake - Dance of the Small Swans - Pacific Northwest Ballet

Lev Ivanov’s choreography for the famous Dance of the Small Swans (or Dance des petits cygnes) was meant to imitate the way cygnets huddle and move together for protection. The dance requires rigorous rehearsing to build stamina and to achieve near-exact unison. Dancers (left-right) are Carli Samuelson, Madison Abeo, Angelica Generosa and Leta Biasucci.
