Original recreation of the Adeline Genée Port de Bras, which was introduced into the Solo Seal Award in 1979.

This footage upholds the romantic style giving teachers and candidates of today insight into the quality required for this port de bras. While it is important to follow the timing and detail of the current DVD, the dynamic values portrayed in this footage of a gentle, effortless and understated style along with lower leg lines and effective use of epaulement provides a valuable example of appropriate style.

The following clip shows the Adeline Genée Port de Bras as taught by Sissie Smith and Sybil Spencer. Danced by Pippa Vickers, music composed and played by Ann Hogben. Filmed in January 1979, © Royal Academy of Dance.
