Paquita Variation - Grand Pas Classique

Act 3 - The Ball

Music by Drigo; created for Pavlova in Le Roi Candaule (1903), used by Ratmansky/Fullington in place of Vazem's original. NOTE: this section absorbed the videos of the former 'Paquita's Variation' section on 2026-07-28 — the ten-minute solo created for Carlotta Grisi in 1846, superseded by the 1881 Grand Pas Classique variations and no longer danced. That section was removed at the curator's decision: its title reduced to the same two words as this one ('paquita', 'variation'), so it exact-matched every generically titled 'PAQUITA - Variation' clip and won before anything else was considered. It had accumulated nine such clips running 1:09 to 2:48, none of which can be a ten-minute solo. The clips were reassigned here as the likeliest home; which Grand Pas variation each really shows is a filing question for the reingestion.
