Gillian Murphy of American Ballet Theatre performing as Odile, the black swan in Swan Lake. This is from the coda section at the end of the 3rd act pas de deux, where the male and female principal dancers "show off" with big jumps and many turns. Murphy has chosen to do a variation on the customary 32 fouettes: instead of doing 32 single turns, she starts out by doing two single turns followed by a quadruple turn.
