1989 Bolshoi Ballet Romeo and Juliet (excerpts 7/19) by Grigorovich/Prokofiev - Gavotte

Fadeyechev was a great Russian dancer in his day, albeit eclipsed by Baryshnikov, who had defected to the west the previous decade. I like the choreography for this gavotte, with the women en pointe (as opposed to character shoes, if memory serves, in the MacMillan version, which is otherwise the gold standard in my opinion).
