"Jockey Dance" is a pas de deux from the ballet From Siberia to Moscow, by August Bournonville (1805-1879)[1].

From Siberia to Moscow (Fra Sibirien til Moskov in Danish) is a ballet in two acts, with music by C.C. Moeller. First performed by the in Copenhagen Royal Danish Ballet on 7 December, 1876.

The pas de deux known as the "Jockey Dance" appears to have been a popular dance, often used as an independent act.

South African performances include a performance in Cape Town by a Mr Gough, as an accompanying act for a performance of Sefton Parry's presentation of The Flying Dutchman (Fitzball) on 9 April, 1858.
