volcanohunter Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 I wouldn't venture to guess how authentic it is, but I am grateful for every sincere effort to retrieve lost dances. http://ballet-de-lorraine.eu/en/pieces/9_Relache Link to comment

I saw a version of Relache that Moses Pendleton made for the Joffrey many years ago -- I'm sure it was not authentic in its steps and structures, but it was a gloriously freewheeling event nonetheless.
