As Told To Barry Kerollis

Lauren Strenoos, in a short, white dance dress, pink tights and pointe shoes, poses center stage in a fourth position on pointe, her arms in a wide V-shape. A line of corps women are on either side of her in a tendu derriere, with their inside leg in plié. They wear brightly colored, Spanish-style long tutus and pointe shoes. The two closest to Strenoos hold on to her wrists.

During a performance of Swan Lake, a principal ballerina poses downstage center in an attitude derriere with her arms pressed back, partnered by a male danseur who stands with his left leg in tendu and his right hand around ehr waist. Splitting them on both sides is a corps of women in a shallow V-shape, standing tendu derriere with their arms in a low first arabesque. The women on stage right have their right leg back, those on stage left ahve their left leg back. All the ballerinas wear white tutus, tights and pointe shoes with feathered headpieces. The male danseur wears white tights and a white top.
