... and who is the choreographer? I don't see them listed.

The choreographer is Javier Torres. You can find more information here (but unfortunately the full performance is no longer available) : operavision.eu/en/library/performances/flashback/sleeping-beauty-finnish-national-opera-and-ballet

Oooh! That was so on beat🥺

Omg, I totally agree...and there is no reason she shouldn't be in the company, if she is able to do all that is required. I'm not a dancer but it seems to be just fine...

she can be a professional dancer but she cant stop stuffing her face. she cant do whats required look at her

@@captainkielbasa5471 Well it turns out this person was actually wearing a suit to look this way; but your comment is pretty disgusting. You think an ED is 'what's required' of a dancer? Not eating isn't a requirement nor an expectation. And yes, people of all weights CAN be professional dancers and still eat! And they are 'stuffing their face' with healthy foods. Ballerinas eat a ton, they just burn it all off. You have a lot of misconceptions and gross standards of women you need to work through.

@@winterrrsea1674 well there ya go there isn't a plus sized girl in ballet

@@captainkielbasa5471 what 💀 you do realise that people can be overweight without eating a lot right? or are you that small minded?

But just think of the poor guy who would have to carry her around... Don't discriminate him

​@@endoplasmatischesretikulum4999 lol what gibberish is this?

@Ainslee Newsom I know, but if is where not...she would be very heavy.

@@reeloddity2160 If I explain the joke, it would be not funny anymore...sorry

Only 3x? Hahaha what an understatement!

Leg pads

You mean she's wearing a tumster dwiggolo? That never occurred to me. I guess that would be like a new kind of "falsies," but for the legs, not for the bosom. Interesting. I'll have to think that one over.

has anybody ever watched Walt Disney fairies? are they skinny and anoressic? ah ah ...

@@ninfaondina Stupid, there is anorexia and anorectic, but "anoressic" is not a word. Idiot.

@@ninfaondina What does Disney have to do with anything? The score came before that movie.

@@noblesetsentimentales because Disney took the melody for one of the Songs thats why they mentioned Disney

Also her tutu is a bit more shorter.

thank u now I can sleep

Why? No big ballet company would ever hire someone so large for many reasons and it has nothing to do with discrimination

@@BytomGirl How many female dancers have male partners in one work? Not many female dancers on stage have partners. There are more dancers who are not than dancers who are lifted by male partners. In such a situation, you are extremely discriminatory and familiar with lookism, because arguing that it is difficult for a partner to lift and that it is natural for the audience to not hire skinny dancers because they want perfection. If you really think that lookism prevalent in society does not affect ballet, you are too nive.

@@seonghan6739 Shows how much you know about ballet, all soloists, principal dancers and prima ballerinas have partners. You are thinking corps de ballet dancers, not soloists. Hit the books

@@seonghan6739 And in corps they also often dance with partners, depending on the ballet and each dancer needs to be ready for it so no, no overweight corps dancers either, they would also look like black sheep among all white swans

So the fact that you are so influenced by fatphobia you couldn't even pay attention to the performance cause you were too busy obsessing about someone else's weight is somehow the girl's fault? And by the way the fairies aren't even supposed to be uniform 🤦‍♀️

Your comment really pulls focus in a bigoted and fucked up way in the middle of all the really nice and similarly beautiful other comments on this video and I just wanted to take some time to let you know how ugly and gross your comment is because all of the other ones are very kind and uniform in comparison to your hateful and fat phobic bullying that you took the time to do. It's really fucked up that you took the time to write all that out for now god damn reason in such a pretentious way as if to act like your fat phobia is somehow more legitimate because you 'understand dance' and art and therefore your comment has some kind of value to it. It doesn't and your hate speech is still hate speech. Fuck off. People of all sizes can and should dance and it's people like you that have made ballet culture such a toxic environment. You don't understand the art at all. You understand the culture of bulimia and making ballerinas throw up. How proud you must be. We don't want that in dance anymore or anywhere. That's over. It's not cool anymore.

@@librodipendente agreed, this industry "standard" is a pretty ridiculous standard, though. I would almost be willing to say it is just a cover up but ... the ballet world takes its aesthetics to the extreme. It's not even relatable.

Ever heard of the words “Pulls focus!”

Man be quiet

She is just wearing a pair of leg pads.

@@vapaus831 seriously? ...

@@hallymoonlit Yes. I have seen another ballerina dances this character.

🙏👍🌺🌼🌸🙂👋

how did you find this cute?

It is a body suit to show the character of the fairy she is portraying - just like one of the other fairies has a pair of glasses.

Who’s gonna tell them it’s just a costume and the girl is actually skinny

I thought she was a bigger dancer and I was SO hoping there would be other bigger dancers in the company. Big is Beautiful! Doesn’t matter the size, shape, color, age, gender, a beautiful dancer is a beautiful dancer!

You mean, more fat people?

She is just wearing a pair of leg pads.

This is an excerpt from the original ballet, written by Tchaikovsky in 1890...

once upon a dream is inspired by this. tchaikovsky was the original composer

Right, but of course this came about a century before Disney was born. LOL

I heard it too. I was today years old when I realized the music in the movie came from this piece. And how genius was it for the filmmakers to make the melody the same as the singing part and not just a piece of background music????

Yes, the dancing is certainly superb in my opinion. Delicate steps and extraordinary balance, my respect for the lady.

@@acanthus_et_adonis8922 I totally agree she's amazing, but I put the timestamp there because of the cough lol

@@emmabarry5754 Oh! I didn't notice that! 😂I thought you were commenting on her dancing! Oh my lord, my idiotic brain, sorry.

@@acanthus_et_adonis8922 don't it's fine 😂😂

I'm gonna guess it's a bodysuit? Either way it's cool to see though

It’s a body suit

It's a body suit and her tutu is smaller... I don't understand why they did that can someone explain?

@@maddiemaccheese8170 Nothing cool about it, great for amateur dancing at home or a studio but not professional stage where visuals are everything and weight of a ballerina matters as they often get lifted by partners and who wants to lift a partner who weighs more than them?

@@BytomGirl I meant cool more like it's neat to see that because it's super uncommon. I completely agree with you, and that's why it's so uncommon lol. Either way, definitely just a fat suit

no

the sleeping beauty

Praise the lord💙💛🫶💛💙

да... плоховато у финов с балетом, если они вынуждены ставить на сцену танцовщицу в такой ужасающей форме. честно, я не видела таких ног не только в балете, но и в обычной жизни...

@@user-cj3wk1fr1z не видела, потому что нормальные люди не обтягивают свои несовершенства белым трико и не выставляют их напоказ.

​@@user-cj3wk1fr1z She is just wearing a pair of leg pads.

Как раз у финнов существует нормальный классический балет, он вышел из Петербурга и из балета советского, там работали и часто выступали вместе с финнами многие наши великие звезды( включая даже Павлову, Уланову, Дудинскую, Плисецкую, Нуреева, Максимову и Васильева, многих знаменитых артистов из СССР, России, других стран. Прежде и сейчас некоторые финны получают образование у нас в " "Вагановке" или в Москве. И у них были и есть очень даже неплохие солисты и хореографы. А это - некая старая запись, какой - то отдельный треш, нонсенс! А главное - зачем...? Эта артистка вполне могла бы выступить скажем, в партии феи Карабрсс или в каких - то других спектаклях. Но, извините, СПЯЩАЯ - это же песня о красоте, гармонии, любви.... 😮😮😮

She’s a beautiful dancer I don’t know what ur talking about. Not all dance have to be paper thin to be a ballerina/principal. A lot of dance are hard on there body’s and themselves because MOST companies want dancers that are as flat as paper and it’s not ok, anyone can dance no matter the size.

And yes I do know it’s a body suit but still I stand by what I say, anyone can dance no matter how big they are

She's a very talented dance and fits in this role perfectly, so wdym?

@@nordicbitch chile they are talking about the person coughing in the back.....

@@addisonbevill840 Anyone can dance, but that doesn't mean it's safe. It's literally just about physics, being on pointe is dangerous for someone who is overweight, a single injury and they are at risk of damaging their feet so bad they can't ever dance ballet again. The more weight you have the more strain that you put on your ankles, bones can only resist so much. It's not a matter of fat shaming, it's just not safe at all.

@Bravo LucaIt's the tutus, headpieces, and the hair on some of them. It's a pastel nightmare.

Just a pair of leg pads.

@@vapaus831 WHERE DO YOU SEE THE LEG PADS?! ARE YOU DUMB???!!!

@@supernastja_art I've seen other ballet dancers dance this role before. Don't tell me that every ballet dancer has the same legs.

Si estuve investigando y la verdad no me queda claro si es una parodia o no, igual a mi personalmente no me agrada mucho, prefiero el ballet clásico con líneas estéticas y cuerpos acordes a los estándares de la danza.

De hecho si es un traje, aunque no es muy lindo que le den todo el protagonismo a la bailarina e ignoren el trabajo duro del resto de los bailarines
