@emperoroberon Why put other people down, if you don't know what you are talking about? It is well known that even Russian dancers struggle with Bournonville's intricate footwork.

@Vikingen78 

I'm looking for the music of Paul et Virginie, can you ask your cousin if I can have a copy of that music? I didn't find it anywhere.

Thank you very much.

Well said mochabubble. Comments like that are made only by observers and not those who've done.

@emperoroberon Oh I can assure you that Bournonville is VERY technically demanding. His choreography always looks so easy, but he always picked very difficult small jumps.

1:48 that is the famous Sokolowska picture. Or maybe 1:52

This is a very interesting view of how early 19th century ballets would appear. This dance is very charming with a pastoral feel tho not too technically demanding.
