Meeting Jean Dauberval

Hello! My name is Jean Dauberval and I'm a famous dancer. You may also know me as Jean Bercher or Jean D'auberval. I am most widely known for my ballet ''La Fille Mal Gardée,'' a comic ballet. This ballet is still preformed in the 21st century featuring ordinary folk on stage, unlike the mythological ballets commonly made in the 18th century. I worked with the great Noverre as my ballet master and he taught me many things like the use of natural characters, the importance of facial expressions, and that the plot doesn't always have to be a tragedy.
