The fourth segment in a six-part series that surveys the history of ballet and dance. In Part 4, host Margot Fonteyn traces the story of Romantic ballet and one of its earliest exponents, Marie Taglioni in the 1830's. Fonteyn describes the eclipse of ballet in the mid-18th century and its revival by the Russians who, in 1909, brought Les Sylphides to Paris. Includes part of that ballet danced by Fonteyn, Marguerite Porter, Yoko Morishita and Ivan Nagy.
