Does anyone know why the dance for Hop o' my Thumb, his brothers, and the ogre in Sleeping Beauty is called pas berrichon? Berrichon means from the disrict of Berry so I'm wondering if Tchaikovsky used folk material from the Auvergne or if Petipa maybe resorted to dance steps from the region? Thanks!
