The tradition
In ballet, pas de trois [pɑ də tʁwɑ] is a French term usually referring to a dance between three people. Typically, a pas de trois in ballet consists of five parts:¶
Entrée (the opening number for the three dancers, usually preceded by a short introduction) Variation (or solo) for the 1st dancer Variation for the 2nd dancer Variation for the 3rd dancer Coda (a finale usually set to music of a quick tempo in which the dancers bring the piece to a spectacular finish) Today, the most celebrated pas de trois in the classical ballet repertory are derived from the works of the great choreographer Marius Petipa.¶
