COPPELIA (Act III Pas De Deux, Variations, and Finale)

Here's Damian Woetzel and Nichol Hlinka absolute perfection in the Act III "Wedding Pas De Deux," Variations, and Finale, from Balanchine's COPPELIA. Alexandra Danilova had taught Gelsey Kirkland and me this as we were supposed to do the premiere (Patricia McBride and Helgi Tomasson ended up doing it because Gelsey and me had so foolishly left the company...dammit). The solo Balanchine choreographed for me was entirely different than what Damian does here but the girl's solo is exactly as Danilova staged it. In any case...this is fantastic dancing from both of them!
