La Cachucha - Carla Fracci

LA CACHUCHA, from Il Diavolo Zoppo, 1836, with Carla Fracci as Fanny Elssler. In 1987 a two-part television programme called The Ballerinas featured Carla Fracci, with some of the top male dancers of the period, in a series of reconstructions putting various ballets and their interpretors in an historical context. Fracci was an amazingly youthful 51 when she danced these extracts.
