"Pas de Deux" is a French term meaning "step for two," commonly used in ballet to describe a dance duet between two dancers. This performance typically showcases the technical skills and artistry of both dancers, often featuring intricate choreography that highlights their partnership and synchronization. In a traditional ballet, a pas de deux usually consists of several sections, including an adagio, variations for each dancer, and a concluding coda. It is often performed in classical ballets, such as Swan Lake or The Nutcracker, and serves as a pivotal moment that emphasizes the emotional connection between the characters.
