hey. So i danced a variation at my ballet school, and it was taught by a guest teacher who said it was a "coppelia" variation. however, i searched for it everywhere and could not find the music, so i'm unsure whether it really is coppelia or not. could someone help me find which ballet it belongs to?
the beginning travels across the floor on a diagonal. it goes:
cabriole, chasse, step, cabriole, chasse , step, cabriole, chasse, pique arabesque, chasse back. saute arabesque, coupe passe to a back tendu while opening arms to the front, chasse (repeat everything again). then another saute arabesque, and run back to the starting corner, repeating the cabriole section except ending in two succeeding attitudes instead of a pique arabesque.
this is only the beginning section of the dance. does it sound familiar to anyone yet?

Since most ballets have very different versions of the same dance it will be impossible to track down a variation based on the steps as they are altered to fit the dancer, the choreographer, or a new idea the producer wishes to display. It would be more beneficial for you to explain anything about the character that the choreographer was trying to have you portray or even any specifics you can remember about the music (waltz, allegro, etc.)

i think it was an allegro, so if it was in coppelia, i'm guessing it would be swanilda's part.
