I just realised: Mads and Alicia both were ballet dancers before they went on to acting! How amazing, that makes this scene even more amazing

Mads Mikkleson is a professionally trained dancer! He's probably "out of the way bitches, show you how it's done!"

This scene is really well made. I love how he shows his mental processes going from okay flirting now... to OMG I'm in love with the King's wife!

Alicia Vikander has danced with Mads Mikkelsen and married Michael Fassbander. What a lucky woman. 😄

The way he looks at her....and when he smiles... I started to cry because I realize that I miss someone that look at me that way... This scene is so emotional...

yes Mads mikkelsen.

The way Mads looks at Alicia takes my breath away every time. And he's too handsome to be human... I mean, those cheekbones look like they belong on a marble statue of Adonis. So glad I randomly decided to watch this movie on Netflix, despite the depressing ending! Their love is so sublime

I love this scene! The chemistry between them is so mild, but still so intense and they move together so beautifully.

If you were ever in doubt that this man did ballet…

Aw! I know they're actors, but Mads seems to be genuinely enjoying himself. You can see and feel his love for dance in this scene.

OMG! Mads is a very very charm man. His actings are excellent. I just keep on focusing him. And I fall in love with him because this scene.♥

dem cheekbones tho

alicia vikander is stunning. her husky voice also adds a sultry quality to her.

I have never seen this movie, I don't speak this language, I have no context of what's going on...but their acting and the directing and all that is so good that I can still understand the emotions at play in this scene. That is talent and everyone who worked on this deserves a lot of praise.

I absolutely love this movie! I would hate if anybody watched this and wouldn't be able to understand what they're saying. Translation: Struensee: Your majesty. Caroline: You recognized me? Struensee: I think I would be able to recognize you while being blindfolded. Caroline: But you aren't very imaginative. Struensee: No, apparently I'm not very good at masquerades. Caroline: For me it is the only evening during the year where people can be themselves... But you never take your mask off, do you? Struensee: Your majesty - will you do me the honor?

Mads has the natural ability to light up any woman like a torch 😍

I love the way that at 1st ,the soundtrack expresses the place's atmosphere, and suddenly changes to the characters atmosphere, than goes back to the party. First is the outside of the characters, than the inside and outside again. Just perfect and natural.

I could write an essay on this scene, I think the fact that I don't speak this language helps. I'm not reading words, I'm studying everything else, their tone, body language, expressions are enough to tell you everything if you know the plot loosely enough. The music and ambiance for the scene is immaculate. Both actors are incredible.

Alicia was in ballet school for 9 years.. You can totally tell! She's so graceful!

I was just ready to stream this movie again just to see this scene. One of the truly great dance scene on film and surely the sexiest. Thanks so much.

Watched this movie with my boyfriend two days ago and we both thought it was a great movie! I found myself wanting to cry at a few scenes (especially the ending) Mads is such a fantastic actor and he's so handsome! 😍 This scene is really beautiful!

I had forgotten how nice it was to hear the clomp clomp of the heels on the wooden floor - it gave this scene such authenticity. Oh yes, and agree with all the other comments to date. Have seen every film but Vildspor and Monasvord (?) so can't wait for the next one.

Love the CLAPS

When you get 2 ex-professional dancers who studied ballet and acting to do this 😍

This was one of the more amazing love stories I've ever seen on film, ever. Move over Jack and Rose....

Mads has great lightness in the feet as well. And he and his partner are so absolutely trained in the muscle memory to do this stuff. Makes such a difference to see dancing done by professionals. Not like English TV where Mr Darcy or whoever just goes hippity hop!

Oh my… this beautiful man….

18th century Mads? ... Um, yes please! (yum).

Damn you Mads, you handsome devil!

I really love this film. Mads is perfect in it. Such a heartbreaking true story. Very well done.

further to that scene - the slo mo reveals - every 360 degree turn shows Mads with a new expression - a sense that something emotional and out of his management is happening here - subtle. Mobile mind that Mads.

Actually, the music is "Water Music Suite No.3 in G Major, HWV 350: V. Country Dance". The fifth in the suite. I really love that jolly woodwind thingy..

I love these period dances!!

This Masterpiece of a movie is both a movie to be taken seriously, but also one of my so called "comfort movie"... I've seen it so many times and still can't get enough. This is such a Beautiful scene, especially the moment when their eyes lock and they finally realise their true feelings towards each other....!

I have no interest in most historical reenactment, but I would definitely enjoy reenacting an 18th or early 19th c. ball like this. I think the style of dance looks so fun and flirtatious, and the dress is so splendid!

The Great Dane! His scenes with lovely Alicia are captivating -- I also watched this movie by chance & I'm glad I did🙏

I cried too. The actors were great and had great chemistry!

they are magical together, and you can feel " it " happen.. He is very maskulin and handsome, she´s gorgeous.. love it.

so basically two Nordic ballet dancers dance while acting in the same movie. cool!

I've had a huge crush on Mads Mikkelsen since I first saw him in Casino Royale six years ago. Six years (and many movies) later, and I find him hotter than ever. Such a gifted man and a talented actor :)

saw this yesterday with my girls, we just sobbed it was amazing.

The dance is even hotter and more romantic that the sex scene, but that was really amazing too.

Beautiful 💕 movie ,script, photograhics actors, Thank.you.

love his hair

Wonderful actor & movie.

This whole scene makes my heart happy...it's a whole story told in facial expressions. I wish dancing were like that these days. Contra comes pretty close in America, but it isn't easy to find anymore.

Beautiful! Its amazing how fluidly their emotions for each other change w/just a few simple spins on the dance floor.

Enchanting scene. Love the music and the dance. I wish though, there would have been some moments, where they showed the intire figure when they danced, and how they moved their feet. I especially would have liked to watch Mads Mikkelsens moves, since he is such an elegant dancer.

Mads was made to dance.

Aw! I will label that scene between 1.58 and 2.38 "The Bubble Scene!" How beautiful was that?! I loved that. That.

Watching this scene over and over... Great Film. Great Actors. Beautiful Mads.

Mads, a dream lover!!

I love this movie!

he has charisma, and talent. nobody's perfect.

Dr.Struenssen lutou pela causa do povo e esse mesmo povo pediu sua sentença de morte. Final me deixou em prantos.Personagem forte,marcante,de poucos sorrisos e extremamente sedutor. Amo esse filme.🥰🥰🥰😍😍

What an elegant dancer Mads is:perfect balance and form. She is very lovely. Unlike the usual plastic hollywood bimbos, she's a natural beauty.

One of my favourite scenes.. Amazing!!

Everyone is talking about Mads, but Alicia was also trained as a ballerina in her youth

Шикарный мужчина и красавица. Классная сцена из замечательного фильма, в которой сочетаются невероятные красота и изящество главных героя и героини и грубое дурашество её сумасшедшего мужа.

my favorite scene in the whole movie, their firts kiss scene is the 2nd *_*

My favorite part of this video was where Mads Mikkelsen

Omg this movie is great. He is so scary in James Bond, but so uberhot and charming in this movie. And she is soo beautiful, but also someone you would really like, not someone who is just hot and sexy. They look like they are both really kind people, besides being beautiful. This movie was so beautiful romantic, sexy, and so tragic as well.

ahhh now I want to see the full movie :)

I'm wondering if Mads had formal dance training when he was young. He carries himself very well; similar to that of a ballet dancer. BTW--he is just gorgeous here!

Mads is handsome.

Gud beskydde Danmark! Hälsningar från edert broderland Sverige! :-)

love this movie

Well, all three lead actors are perfect.

thank you so much for this! it's one of my favourite scene of the movie!

love his voice

Arr mads I could listen him talk all day even though I couldn't understand a word he says

It's Handel's Water Music Suite No 3 in G Major. Enjoy!

This reminds me of a Jane Austen love story, I love it, even though I still have not seen this movie yet lol =)

I imagine Danish [and Swedish] is what English sounds like to non-English speakers. I've always wondered what I sound like to people who don't speak my language :P

thank you so much for posting this

So fucking beautiful

What a scene!

I love this scene its so romantic =)

I like the clap bit.

Underbar dansare och skådespelare..

Is my dream dance with him

i don't even know what is this, i just read mads mikkelsen in tittle and i had to watch

Шикарный актёр и музыка, Мадс супер супер супер ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you

Mads está maravilhoso nesse papel.

Such an excellent actor and a super sexy dancer 🤩

Thank you very much!

love it, love it, love it

Love him 😢❤

wonderful

What a great actor he is..I wonder If he could play "Holberg"

Lindíssima está cena da dança....emocionante❤❤Mads Mikkelsen é um ator brilhante e Alicia também 😊😊❤❤

A lovely scene. Like Jane Austen on steroids. :-b The translation, as best I can remember it, is: - Your majesty. - You recognized me. - I would recognize you blindfolded. - Your costume is not so very imaginative. - No, I've never been good at masquerades. - For me, it is the one time when people can be themselves. But you never let your mask down, do you? - Your majesty -- will you do me the honor?

1 sec in and i’m SWOONING

Does anyone know the piece of music ? I’ve also heard it in The Duchess (2008) with Keira Knightly

That's very interesting. Thanks for telling me.

SO CUTE I CAN'T

Amazing science! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋👋👋👋

Yes, I can, it's the "Water Music Suite No.3 in G Major, HWV 350: III. Minuet". I double checked it. The only thing odd about this scene ist that no matter how many times I watched I've still failed every single time I checked trying to find the flute player in the ensemble. :P

Must own this movie....ASAP
