Description

“Mr. Serebrennikov’s book is widely famous right through the world. Students, teachers, and dancers in all fields of dance will find this important work useful.”– Svetlana Osiyeva, ballet faculty, Harid Conservatory, Boca Raton, and former principal dancer and soloist with the Kirov Ballet


Pas de Deux has been widely considered the foremost existing textbook on the art of partnering.
First published in 1969 in Russian by one of the vital world’s most respected experts on partnering, the original book was once created for the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, the school that produced Pavlova and Nijinsky. This expanded edition incorporates new text, sketches, and photographs that describe 32 new poses and lifts, in conjunction with new information about strengthening exercises and balance points. It is adaptable to instruction in response to the Royal Academy of Dancing and the Cecchetti methods, making it invaluable for teachers and dancers of all three major methodologies.
 Beginning with simple exercises for young dancers, the comprehensive text guides students, teachers, and choreographers safely to complex lifts and tosses. The instruction turns out to be useful to all forms of dance, including ballet, jazz, brand new dance, ballroom dancing, and ice dancing.

Nikolai Serebrennikov, a former dancer with the Kirov Ballet, is a master pedagogue at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in Russia.

Marian Horosko, a former member of the New York City Ballet, is the education editor of Dance Magazine. She is the creator of many books, most recently Sleeping Beauty and Ballet Technique for the Male Dancer.
