As I said, the previous number in Mambomania was the first section choreographed. This was the second. I think the dancers enjoy this section because so much of it is performed sitting down :)

Daily Stuff: Started working on the first section of the ballet today. When we first meet Don Juan, he is a servant in a rich man's house. The more we see what is going on, we realize that he is having a clandestine relationship with not just the mistress of the house, but the couple's daughter as well.

So today we set the central pas de deux for the Don and the mistress and then the pas for the Don and the daughter. Both pieces came together fairly quickly, due in no small part to the dancers themselves.
