Subscribe @TheBunduBallerina Here, danced by several talented dancers is a rare variation and coda from L. Lavrovsky & Golovkina's 1940's Giselle. @eg-2585 gave the following information: "This is from an old 1940s production of Giselle created by Leonid Lavrovsky and Sofia Golovkina for the Bolshoi. This version hasn’t been used in a long, long time, so the choreography mainly lives on through school performances and galas in Russia. It’s hard to find information though, probably because no one can agree on the name; I’ve seen it referred to as the Lavrovsky pas de deux, the Classic PDD, the Grand PDD, the Minkus PDD, etc." A few girls have danced the female variation with the name Giselle Grand Pas Classique at YAGP.
