Ballet 101 is Eric Gauthier's humorous "crash course" in classical ballet. Using the basic five positions as his starting point, Gauthier creates 100 positions with tongue in cheek references to famous ballets and choreographers. The first section demonstrates the positions, the second half of the piece combines them randomly to create a choreography with a surprise ending.
