I was lucky enough to see them perform this, and they were absolutely gorgeous. Although I would’ve liked to see them perform something a bit more exciting, this pas de deux showed off how classical and clean they both are. I love how regal Olga is, and Semyon is the perfect partner for her!

Tanaquil Le Clercq in La Valse, 1951
The waltz rhythms of Ravel’s La Valse sets Balanchine’s choreography in motion. According to the New York City Ballet website, the mood of the ballet is “superficial gaiety mixed with an uncertain feeling of impending catastrophe.” In the film’s archival footage, Tanny dances the soloist role of a woman who is seduced by the figure of death before falling lifeless to the floor.
