Both balletmasters are very inspiring and have a good way to lead the dancers.

Mayara is simply fabulous! Also great to see some newer faces on rehearsals (Valentino did an awesome job in such a hard solo!!)

So nice to see Wayne Sleep on stage again. His many performances with the Royal Ballet were memorable. Very good rehearsal by everybody. I really enjoyed it

Thank you *SO MUCH* for sharing this video. As a writer I've started a story featuring a male ballet prodigy so I've been looking up everything I can find on ballet. Seeing this rehearsal is so inspiring to me. Thanks again!

Just a thought Ryan, perhaps look back in History, great names to consider Diaghalev, Nijinsky maybe Adeline Genee up to Ninette de Valois Margot Fonteyn and Rudy Nureyev, to name a few, William Chappel started Ballet Training at the age of 19 I believe the oldest Ballet Student ever, so far. Hope these few names will help your research.

Nuances are everything, the technique is there now to see them forget it and allow the characters to emerge. A scary thing for dancers but dare I say not artists. These dancers and Sir Fred are wonderful artists as were their sublime coaches. Thank you all and a big one to the inexhaustible accompanist.🥰

I often wish I took up ballet as a child, but knowing my severe health problems back then, I wouldn’t have done well lol. I’ll just settle for watching

look up adult ballet in your area! if there aren't any dedicated studios, traditional studios may have adult classes. or you can call and ask if they'll take on a private adult student. i started last year at 27 and it's fun to learn for the sake of learning (plus none of the weird complexes that child ballet dancers are susceptible to).

What I found fascinating is that when I thought something was wrong, sure enough it WAS wrong. Of course I couldn't express what the problem was. This kind of program is enormously helpful. I generally only see classical ballet because I don't want to see people flopping on the floor. It's gross and fake. Then I see real dancing such as the dancing here and realize that newer choreography can be beautiful as well.

In the past, I've said it often looks like the dancers forgot to take their anti-seizure medication.

Does the Royal Ballet have ANY dancers that aren't wonderful? I don't think so!

@soffyabad 4 жыл бұрын

Dear all please just consider this year, not to have characters stand by the dancers so much cause is very distractive, it really is and you have a great staff of ballet , and they work so hard to performed, they diserve all the attention, even when I like that Clara and the Nutcraker dance more, please please consider my suggestion.

The ballet master is soooooooooooo annoying. I have had ballet masters like this before and they turn into incredible show offs when you have a studio audience. His corrections are mostly good but this used to annoy the shit out of me.

@oliverdownunder9397 4 жыл бұрын

The Ballet master is performing much more than the dancers. Annoying!

I’m back here again by chance and again I want to throttle this Christopher Saunders ballet master!! I suspect he had a very unfulfilling career. This is not a phenomena unique to the Royal Bsllry. Who needs Sir Fred when you have the great Saunders!!! ANNOYING!!!!!
