backstagemom Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 DD's company is performing Coppelia. DD is dancing in Waltz of the Hours and Mazurda. I've watched the Bolshoi version, and several of the dances on YouTube. I've also read the storyline, but I can't figure out which dance is in which act. I guess it will all unfold as I see it, but I'm curious, and I've googled to no avail. Can anyone give me a simple order of things (in particular the order of the dances/variations)? Link to post
Kellinger Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Mazurka is a Polish character dance and occurs in Act I. Dance of the Hours is in Act III. Link to post
Hans Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I believe the Bolshoi reconstruction is on Youtube with both Alexandrova and Osipova. It is an excellent production, and I recommend watching it! Link to post
ascballerina Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Alexandrova Part 1 Alexandrova Part 2 Alexandrova Part 3 Osipova's version seems to have been taken down; I had it bookmarked, and it says deleted video. Link to post
appleblossom Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Is Dance of the Hours the prayer dance? Or is that a different one? Link to post
Hans Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 They are different dances. Link to post
