Round 17: Tossup 8

A dance named for these objects directly follows the Pas des amphores (“pah day zahm-FOR”) in the Six airs de danse excerpted from an 1887 ballet. A duet named for one of these objects is danced by a slave and Nikiya in the Kingdom of the Shades section of La Bayadère. (10[1])One of these (10[1])objects kills the heroine (-5[1])in a (-5[1])ballet whose original (10[1])score by (10[1])Jean-Madeleine Schneitzhoeffer is usually replaced with one by Herman Severin Løvenskiold. That magical one of these objects given to James by Madge kills the title character of La Sylphide (“sil-FEED”). A dance named for these objects is the most widely excerpted movement from Callirhoë (“ka-lee-roh-AY”) by Cécile Chaminade. Roman Chatov (10[2])designed (10[1])a long one of these objects that caused the (10[1])death of (10[1])a woman (10[3])known for dancing barefoot (10[2]-5[1])in a Greek (10[1])tunic. (10[2]-5[2])For 10 points, Isadora (10[1])Duncan (10[1])died when what article of clothing became tangled in the wheel of a car? ■END■ (10[5])
