Bournonville is basically the french style of the 19th century with little alterations

[edit]

Bournonville was trained in what is considered today to be the "french school" - a method of teaching which is, for the most part, totally extinct in France and the rest of the world, except for in Denmark.

What people call today "The Bournonville style" is this style of dance, which was also the style performed in Russia until the innovations of the Italian school in the late 19th century and, later, Vaganova's methods of the 1920s and 30s.

When recent reconstructions of some of Petipa's ballets (such as "La Bayadere", parts from his version of "Le Corsaire", "The Awakening of Flora", "The Sleeping Beauty") were first shown, many people commented that "the choreography looks alot like Bournonville".

Indeed, Bournonville's works preserve this wonderful style of dance, which really is, in my opinion, TRUE ballet dancing, with out all of the circus-like innovations brought to the table - however indirectly - by Vaganova and her successors.

Anyway I felt the article should discuss this.
