Dansant

I have not watched the whole thing, but the costume patterns and matching partners in the Act II waltz get progressively and horribly mixed up through the waltz as if the Nureyev and the costumer never discussed the ballet together. Really surprising at this level of production.

Why is it called the D'Jampo dance?

Apologies if this has been discussed before. The search terms Petipa and Nutcracker are pretty broad.

Do Petipa's notes to Tchaikovsky for the composition of The Nutcracker exist somewhere? Are they accessible to an English speaker?

Thanks!
