How the movement of dancers reshaped the borders of Europe
In short: Explore the historical ebb and flow of dance as performers crossed frontiers, from 19th-century Italian and French dancers traveling to Russia to the 20th-century arrival of the Ballets Russes in Western Europe.
This BBC documentary examines the fluid movement of dance across national boundaries. It features Margot Fonteyn visiting Tchaikovsky's home near Moscow to discuss Diaghilev with Marie Rambert. The programme also presents rare footage of Pavlova and a performance of Petrushka by Mikhail Baryshnikov.
