The fourth episode of The making of Raymonda. The ultimate ballet classic Raymonda is, among other things, world famous for its wonderful character dances. But what exactly are character dances? And how do our dancers learn them? To find out, we talk to Grigori Tchitcherine, who helps Rachel Beaujean rehearse these traditional folk dances.
