- Pas de quatre (Ballet term)
Pas de Quatre. French term usually referring to a dance in ballet between four people.
"Pas de Quatre"s appear in many ballets, between different combinations of female and male dancers. The most famous was a ballet choreographed by Jules Perrot, simply titled Pas de Quatre, to music by Cesare Pugni. Another Pas de Quatre is done in Swan Lake, between four of the swans. The swans are normally demi-soloists from the corps or actual soloists.
