Façade

About the show

Façade is a one-act ballet of seven to ten divertissements, described by the ballet critic Debra Crane as "choreographic satires on popular dance forms and their dancers". There is no plot. The numbers as danced in the original production are: Scotch Rhapsody Jodelling Song Polka Valse Popular Song Tango-Pasodoble Finale – Tarantella Sevillana. Ashton revised the ballet over the years. "Country Dance" was added in 1935 and "Noche Espagnola" and "Foxtrot" were added in 1940.
