I didn’t get it with “Light Rain” as the title. Then I saw that that is the name of the song’s composer. The song name “The Sword Dance” helps clarify the dance routine. Ballet is great. I also like the women’s gymnastics floor routines. But I have to turn down the volume because the commentators ruin the experience. Then I can’t hear the music, and it makes me want to strangle the people in charge.

William, I don’t know of a connection to a song. The “Light Rain” ballet premiered in New York in 1981. Here are the other acts of this short ballet. (There is a minute of black screen in the middle, which is just a divide to the next section of it.) Lively joy. https://vimeo.com/79831863

They used music from Light Rain’s 1978 album Dream Dancer.

Some of the ballet excerpts I’d posted here have since become dead links. Such is the one for “Light Rain” that I’ve left up anyway, as there had been some conversation about it here.
