Try this: turn off the sound on the charackter dance video, and play the "Procession of the Sardar" from "Caucasian Sketches" by Ippolitov-Ivanov, and see how well this choreography works with it. It is best after a 1-second delay in starting the video after the music begins. "Procession of the Sardar" is also slightly longer than this dance, but I was happy to match the two because I often wished to see a ballet to the "Procession of the Sardar."
This march was composed by strauss in honor of Naseredinshah's(king of persia)arrival in vienna.

Is this from the DVD Character Dance from the Vaganova school?

I answered my own question: the "Persian March" (thank you, Dancie) is Opus. 289 by Johann II Strauss.

Charming! There's nothing like good old fashioned Orientalism in dance. Would anyone know what is the music?
