We asked Balanchine Repetiteur Sandra Jennings about the stunning Diamonds pas de deux. "Here, you witness one of Balanchine’s great pas de deux. Romantic, yet centered on a man who offers his hand and cares for a woman who clearly can stand on her own. It is as if she is allowing him to dance with her."
