Explanation:

Pas de deux is an expression used in classical ballet. It refers to a dance performed by a duet, usually a man (a danseur) and a woman (a ballerina). Pas de deux can be found in famous ballets, such as Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. It is common to hear the expression grand pas de deux, which is a pas de deux that consists of five parts - an entrée, an adagio, two variations, and a coda. Grand pas de deux, or at least some of its elements, first appeared in the 18th century.
