I hadn't looked at this in some years.

Only now do I realise how much Agrippina used the BODY, body weight, power of the fulcrum - and how daring the use of all the planes, going right down to the ground and letting the weight carry over to the opposite side. So they are really dancing and not just grinding through the steps.
take a look for example at sissonne ouvert at 1 hour 29 minutes.
(ignore the useless pointe shoes, old-fashioned hairstyles and tunics and lumpy figures due to poor nutrition which everyone suffered from then - gang, it was ONE year after World War II where the country lost about 35 million dead - so could we agree to IGNORE the "visuals"? Thank you)
