Summary:
Artist Frank Augustyn sheds new light on some classic ballets by discussing them with some great ballet stars. Cinderella is based on Perrault's classic fairy tale and became the cornerstone of the growth and development of the Royal Ballet of London. Coppelia was one of the first ballets to have a doll come to life. The Czardas were first introduced into ballet and after this, national and folk dances became very popular.
