Presented by Peter Schaufuss 2: Double Work
What makes a great dance partnership? It's more than technique, it's a special chemistry between two people that communicates itself to the audience. In tonight's film Peter Schaufuss looks at the man's role in the pas de deux, from the courtliness of classical ballet to the most acrobatic of contemporary dance.
