Tableau

Translation: picture.

A striking or artistic group that forms a large picture on stage.

Today, classical ballets are framed mainly based on the dancing that involves today’s standards of technique, and these dances are mostly inserted into the ballet scenes as follows, with the creme de la creme of it all being the Grand Pas De Deux. Many variations you might see in competition or some of the first solo dances you will learn come from these designated sections.
