Diablo Ballet: The Power of Dance

Diablo Ballet’s performance, Experience the Power of Dance, featured a variety of dances including the Sea Pictures pas de deaux by Christopher Wheeldon; this romantic duet, originally commissioned for the San Francisco Ballet, is set to the music of Edward Elgar and nostalgically evokes the last moments of a sailor and his loved one before he leaves for sea. The last dance was the wedding pas de deaux and finale from Coppelia, a timeless, romantic ballet that is set to the moving music of Leo Delibes.
