Pas de Quatre was a Ballet choreographed by a man named Jules Perrot in 1845. The four dancers in the ballet were, in order of appearance, Lucile Grahn, Carlotta Grisi, Fanny Cerrito, and Marie Taglioni. The order of appearance was done by age, from youngest to oldest to avoid any confrontations. The original cast of Pas de Quatre only did four performances together. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were in attendance at the third of these four performances. Nearly one hundred years later in 1941 the Ballet was restaged by Anton Dolin, the dancers he used were, in order of appearance, Nathalie Krassovska as Lucile Grahn, Mia Slavenska as Carlotta Grisi, Alexandra Daniova as Fanny Cerrito, Alicia Markova as Marie Taglioni. There have been several Ballet Companies and many Dancers since then to perform in Pas de Quatre. |
