Maurice Ravel - Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte - Andre Laplante

The reform of the ballet theater caused an upsurge in performing skills (dancers L. Pekur, J. Balon, the first professional dancer Lafontaine). At the beginning of the 18th century dancers began to compete with dancers. F. Prevost achieved virtuosity in divertissements (dance suite comp. J. Rebel "Characters of Dance", 1715). She, along with the dancer Balon, as early as 1708, participated in the first independent B. pantomime - an episode from Cornell’s “Horace” by the muses. J. Zh. Moore, author B. “Love affairs of the gods” (1727), “Triumph of feelings” (1732).
