For Dianne in reference to a video

Geraldine Knie also does a pau de duo, or how ever it is spelled, which maybe Vincent can help with, along with Ivan Knie Pelligrini, I believe. I don't know how he figures in the Knie dynasty and again maybe Vincent can help. Knie videos are hard to come by. I attempted to video a practice session with Christel Sembach-Krone, and I was gang rushed and the tape was confiscated. Explanation given, "you didn't ask first." Up until then, everybody had been pretty friendly, and didn't seem to mind. I said, "I'm sorry. I'm asking now." Answer, "no". LOL

    I believe it spelled "pax de deux" but I may stand corrected

    Wade and Dianne - I always thought it was Patty Duke.

    OK, I have laid off this one as long as I can stand to, hoping some Frenchman would step in and settle this. Since this has not happened, I will clarify this. It is "pas de deux", literally "step of two", usually used in ballet to describe a dance of the ballerina and her male partner.

    Hi Wade,

    I'm no "expert," but I believe this man riding with Geraldine is her boyfriend Maycol Errani. HE ans his brother do the Icarian (foot juggling) act. Geraldine's ex-husband, Ivan Pellegrini, is part of the Fratelli Pelligrini act that performed in white pants, no shirts at Monte Carlo either this year or the one before. They have a young son who presents ponies with his grandfather Freddie Knie, Jr.

    This is Géraldine Katharina Knie with Maycol Errani performing a Pas de Deux on 2 Spanish horses on the Swiss National Circus program 2008. Maycol is Géraldine new boyfriend. She has a son with Ivan Pellegrini: Ivan-Frédéric Knie. This year he shares an act with his grand parents Fredy Knie jr. and Mary-José Knie.

    Definitely "pas de deux", exactly as in ballet.
    And the gentleman ceratinly looks like Maycol Errani and not Ivan Pelligrini, who was Geraldine's husband.
