This short scene from the romantic ballet Giselle, features Svetlana Zakharova, as Giselle and Roberto Bolle as Albrecht (Loys). It captures the blossoming love between innocent and shy Giselle, a peasant girl, and a young man she knows only as Loys but he is actually nobleman disguised as a peasant.
After Loys declares his love, smitten Giselle picks a flower and plays 'he loves me, he loves me not' but soon throws away her flower and bursts into tears as she realises it will end in 'he loves me not'. Loys picks the dropped flower and out of her sight, removes a petal, and convinces despondent Gieselle that she is mistaken. They both then dance in joy with some delightful grand jetes.
