I found this 8 minute documentary that Dance Theatre of Harlem put together about the creation of Creole Giselle.

Virginia Johnson as Giselle, dancing the mad scene in Dance Theatre of Harlem's Creole Giselle, filmed for television in 1987.
#she is so expressive!#the whole cast is#i don't usually feel so viscerally anxious for giselle in this scene but i was so worried about her here#the way she fails to do the steps#also it's funny how in filmed productions you can see all the little details#like how when her mother takes out her hair clips while she's fussing over her so her hair will be down for the next part#i need to find a video of the whole performance now#virginia johnson#eddie shellman#creole giselle#giselle#dance theater of harlem#ballet#dancers#Youtube
