those look heavy tho

@@casshews Nah, they look like they have a lot of layers of fabric, but they look pretty light

@@giasharie274 oh okay

c a s h e w pretty sure it’s just tule which is pretty light

That's what I was curious for 😂 but honestly I like it

I’ll CC

Well, that's what we know and love the NYCB for, isn't it?

I have done this piece before for my dance school along with other pieces and I can in fact confirm this information

probably using strong drugs

@@maryannetesh4105No, it's training and the love to dance.

Yes this whole ballet is a masterpiece

Совершенно с вами согласен !

I'm genuinely curious as to why he despised The Nutcracker so much. Does anybody know?

Unfortunately, as artists, we tend to be our own worst critics. I say this from experience. 😕

​ @fyeelessarndra3392 Tchai thought it was "bad ballet", that the story would "fool" people into thinking it was good where he believed it to be "fake" and "boring", and firmly opined that it was less complex than it pretended to be. Also, his sister died during the composition and he hated it on a very deep personal level after that; understandably so.

OH That is So Poetic, This is Cheery Blossoms Dancing in the Wind: 風に舞う桜 Kaze ni mau sakura PS, this is Crissy not Shinja

What a beautiful comment ...

Yes! 🌸🍒

Thats so real xd lol

I can't even do the mop dance without looking cringy but this makes me excited too😂

lune soleil me too!

Then there’s me remembering the counts to this😂 and counting in my head😌

I'm just a 60 yo sax player and I can't watch this without these obstinate tears getting my eyes!

I cannot imagine how much medical bills they needed for this dance

Yes we do rehears hours and hours but live every second

@Hays Carson keep up the good work love!!

@@electramorley3581 My cousin is a Ballerina and she and her compatriots call full dress rehearsal all the work with none of the applause. She also said that after hours of dancing to a Piano the full Orchestra fills them with energy.

A lifetime of practice to get here

Agreed. She is perfect. 💕

Glorious!

I dont think so.She looks clumsy.

Magnetic performance

She is so charming! I can't get over her expressions, her dance and the whole thing. The choreography, the costumes! I keep returning over and over to this video.

I am mesmerized by this performance graceful elegant much hard work before what we see on stage thankyou

that's what i love about to. it's hard and it hurts but it's so amazing to know u have that strength and its so empowering i love the never ending challenges and always having something to work towards

Yes!!!! I am suffocating in the nowadays "culture" and tattooed bodies. Ballet is an oasis.

Absolutely agree. Also really enjoyed Balanchine "s choreography

That's not classical, that's Balanchine. If you want classical, go to Russia.

It will always be 🥰

@@simplystreeptacular Ballet originated in Italy, though?

"a moving painting". What a lovely way to describe this ballet!!

Wao tube esa misma impresión

me too man

Si es como una pintura por los vestidos y los movimientos de las bailarinas

dance and ballet are my whole life so i think that is a really interesting concept, and i love that you appreciate one of my favourite ballets - the nutcracker is magical and a massive part of most dancers childhood

Maybe she’ll be a ballerina when she gets older!

wow that is so cute! i did the exact same when i was little, and i ended up becoming a ballerina! 💓

Good. Embed a good taste in music from the beginning in her.

❤❤❤

You are teaching your daughter the right things.

Ashley Bouder, she is amazing!

Why it's all about power for you people these days. It's a big honor and big responsibility. Talent and a hard work. It's not about feeling powerful.

@Pati Vi what are you talking about? Calm down… jeez

It would feel amazing! I'm hoping I'll be able to dance in the Waltz if the Flowers at a local studio this year! I definitely won't be this good, but I bet you could be one day :)

FR

@@pativi6643 because power is what keeps people alive buddy

The costumes make the dancers look like one big flower

I also love the background. Everyone gave a 100%. The designers and the dancers did an amazing job. 💕

Hands down to Karinska! She did the best ballet costumes I've ever seen

Are they supposed to make the dancer look kind of like a flower?

@@allseriousness The piece is called “Waltz of the Flowers” so probably, yea

Because it moved you. I cry through ballets every time I see one live. It’s beautiful to be stirred by art. Enjoy it!

I cried too…for joy

It is you connecting with humanity, and thereby, connecting to the universe. And that's a beautiful thing. That would bring anyone to tears.

Ashley is amazing

@@jlyfan oh thank you, I also wanted to find out her name!

@@MalloryNewcomb Her full name is Ashley Bouder

Those Girls created absolute MAGIC.

Nahhh she looks bad and clumsy compared to other dancers,also horrible dress.

This is where I hold my breath & cry every time. I can't help it.

That was GOLD

@@333pattyd sameeeeeee

Me tooooo and their move is coordinated with that silver 🔔 🛎 so pleasing

Ballerina's by default have the most meat on their legs. They probably look skinny to you because they don't have anything else besides muscle. No fat

@@SS-ui7by ok. The Vaganova girls are so skinny they have no boobs whatsoever. These girls have enough meat to have some boob. And their thighs are thicker than my arm. That's the point I was making. I am a trained dancer myself. Ballet. Modern. Jazz. Musical theater. Single-point trapeze. I understand the point you were trying to make.

@@SS-ui7bywtf are u talking ab bruh

@@Brainrot5 the comment literally talks about ballerinas not usually having meat on their legs

@@rowanisfruity8401 yea no shit I’m saying it’s not true dumb ahh

Ashley Bouder is amazing.

yes! that’s good teachers right there! those girls can flawlessly count music as you can see by their timing

my only flex is that ngl

They must have a lot of practice, and excellent teaching

yeah I cried it's just so beautiful

im sobbing ahahah

I did.

Not sob though. Just the beauty of the performance. It also holds fond memories for me too.

omg i cried too from like happiness

Hdn

Beryl Grey, a former ballerina with the Royal Ballet, described him as "the dancer's dream composer. Very clear rhythms, very inspiring melodies, and great swaying orchestrations which carry you and lift you."

I'm sorry, can anyone please tell me what is this piece's name?

@@yinfan9504 'Waltz of the Flowers'

@@tenor1190 thank you!!

YES BAHAHAHH

as a dancer, absolutely

as a dancer i can confirm

also same tho

When I was 49 years old, I developed plantar fasciitis in both feet, very painful, I am now 60 and it never went away. Never regretted all the wonderful ballet classes I took.

Hermoso despliegue de lo clásico en su más pura manifestación, es un conjunto del arte en lo clásico

Yes, I agree!

Genial

i was so lucky i got to take a class with her at gulfshore ballet

I don't understand this comment. By this do you mean that Balanchine's choreography only suits a handful of people?

I pretty sure that's fake food.....

Yeah, im a dancer and in stage there’s no real food😅😅

David J. Azcorra Cámara i think if they would be real food they wouldn’t be allowed to eat it

At least I would allow it😂 (everyone is starving in there😅)

@@cd7942 true

And extreme strength.

Maybe they might be on tv or something

@@loliglosscosmetics8012 Yes, but as a dancer myself doing the actual thing is not happening.

@@eva-ex5il that’s sad, I love nutcracker season

Your theatres are still closed?

@eva I saw your prof pic in a Japanese milk ad

Hi, This is not Shinja this is His Cousin Crissy. When I first saw this I Felt something was Different, I realized that The Girls were smiling. That was exactly it. As a Ballerina My Troupe and I specialize in Swan Lake where we must Constantly Emote as it is a Tragedy Smiling is not Allowed.

When the Applause comes up midway I can see the smiles brighten, there is a Thrill . . .

Thank you for your knowlegeable comments. They added to my understanding.

А меня, из-за обилия красок и техничности примы, не покидало ощущение, что я смотру групповое выступление по художественной гимнастике...

@@sergeyalpeev6034 Согласна с Вашим мнением. Все прелестно, но пришло ощущение шоу. Специально пересмотрела Вальс цветов в Большом и в Мариинке с хореографией Григоровича.

@@ElenaPatra1712 Да, именно - шоу. Верная характеристика!) У меня в видеотеке есть две копии "Щелкунчика", одна 1978 года с Максимовой и Васильевым, и 2012 года Мариинки, где дирижёром Гергиев. Обе постановки замечательны по своему, переживая действо происходящее на твоих глазах, и проникаясь музыкой великого композитора, имеешь ощущение праздника и причастности к высокому искусству!

The nutcracker was the only thing my aunt told me not to relate to.

@@benyi789 what do you mean?

@@rollingstairs1 yea “relate to”? You don’t have to relate to the story to have a connection

I know what you mean. I remember sitting in the front row. And I was amazed seeing the orchestra pit up close. The first instrument I could easily see was the harp

You're right! Ashley Bouder has been a principal (top rank) at New York City Ballet (one of the top companies worldwide) since 2005 and a star in the world of ballet. She has a line of leotards, over 75k followers on Instagram, runs her own company called the Ashley Bouder Project, and she is a resident fellow at New York University.

she already does! she’s a principal or a soloist (not sure which one) with new york city ballet

They need a covid test because they have no taste

I don't think the thumb-downers are people who just don't appreciate ballet. I think they are pros who don't like that the ballerinas a bit uncoordinated. I am not a ballerina, but I grew up with classical music and watched all the main ballets dozens of times when I was a kid. They are supposed to dance like one, not be all over the place. But I am giving it a thumb up for the beautiful music by the eternal Tchaikovsky. He was a basket case but look at the gifts he left behind.

Maybe they prefer Moscow style, which is more classical

absolutely my sentiment. Cannot stop smiling when I watch this. When I lived in Ukraine I went all over the country watching ballet.

わからんのか〜い　笑笑

Can I ask you what the Balanchine technique is?

@@Morrigan998 i would like to know too please

It’s really only noticeable to dancers. I love it! Balanchine dancers move faster, they hold their hands differently, what some call a claw, and he emphasized the lines your body makes and what audiences see. For instance if I’m posed with my right foot forward my neck should be turned slightly so that my left cheek is front and center to the audience. I guess a easier explanation in 1 word is Extra! Everything is emphasized. I think it beautiful.

James Jackson you must dance! Thank you! I appreciate a more “layman’s terms” answer than a copy and pasted definition (see comment above) otherwise I would have just googled it myself! 😂

Clarissa Leung yeah, That’s a great answer, however your first sentence is wrong! If you have to copy/paste don’t add anything unless you are knowledgeable. The Balanchine technique is what we are taught to dance Balanchine Style! And you actually contradicted your own 1st sentence by explaining the “techniques” we learn to dance Balanchine “style”. Not trying to be rude but dancing is my life and my work.

People wany quick effort free reward is the problem (i say this as a classical musician). It takes years to reach a passable level and people seems not to want to put in the effort.

That's Ashley Bouder! She's a principal dancer for NYCB and agreed, she really is amazing!

Did it?
