John-Michael Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Does anyone know why the dance for Hop o' my Thumb, his brothers, and the ogre in Sleeping Beauty is called pas berrichon? Berrichon means from the disrict of Berry so I'm wondering if Tchaikovsky used folk material from the Auvergne or if Petipa maybe resorted to dance steps from the region? Thanks! Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 seems to be a type of folk dance: http://trad95.free.fr/berry.htm Link to comment
