How to Develop a Safe and Successful Dance Partnership

by Linnea Swarting | Jan 13, 2022

Melissa Gelfin De Poli and her dance partner Cervilio Miguel Amador perform a dramatic pas de deux from the ballet "Romeo and Juliet" onstage. Amador holds Gelfin by the waist with his right arm and her right thigh with his left and drags her back as she swoons backward in a grand battement devant on pointe. She wears a guazy off-white nightgown and he wears a peasant blouse, green tights and brown boots.
