Story of Wilis - Pantomime by Sandra Conley, Giselle Ballet, Act 1

Berthe, Giselle's mother (Sandra Conley), warns her daughter not to dance so much, afraid that her heart will give out. She tells everyone the story of the Wilis, young women who died before their wedding day and must spend eternity dancing. They dance and haunt the forest at night to exact their revenge on any man they encounter, regardless of who he may be, forcing their victims to dance until they die of exhaustion.
