COPPELIA 🩰 Competition VS the Ballet | WHICH IS BETTER? | Ballet Dancers Compare | Ballet Reign 

Of course we want a full Coppelia commentary! As someone who's loved ballet all my life I'm so appreciative of you educating us further about any and all classical ballet aspects! Thanks!

I so wanna see a full Coppelia commentary! I am learning Waltz of the Hours from it in my ballet class and it SO fun

I feel like that part where she throws the tantrum would go really well with the "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED" audio, followed by a crisp "Good Day Sir" when she bows.

Pls, not only more Coppelia. But also Bayadere, Corsaire, etc.

Yes, please do a full Coppelia commentary video. I really want to know the details of this masterpiece!

Coppelia was the first full ballet I ever seen on TV and whenever I find it being performed I try go and see it. Love it every time

I’m obsessing over the skirt on the competition dancer…it’s spectacular and really suits her style.

If you watch the new Coppelia by Alexey Ratmansky in La Scala, this variation is finished with Swanhilda turning her backside to the balcony and rising up the tutu. It is so amazing in character building!!! Nicoletta Manni is soo good in it.❤

Didn't Mayara Magri just make principal? She was really very polished and complete at YAGP! I noticed her in the corps of Manon when she was still in the corps and was happy to see her rise through the ranks. My first thought with Osipova (also now at the RB) was, why is she wearing a yarmalka? 🤣 When she was younger, she really excelled at these soubrette-type roles, and of course, her technique is unparalleled. Fun comparison! Yes, analyze Coppelia!

Can we please have a Copellia commentary? I was just in this ballet and y’all’s commentaries always make me happy :)

Copelia is exquisite - the choreography and Delibe's music. Please do a full-length analysis

yesss full coppelia PLEASE

My dad used to take me to see ballet at the theater as a kid and Coppelia was the one I remembered the most!

Yes, please, do a full-length Coppelia commentary! I really learned a lot from your Swan Lake commentaries!

Coppélia was a ballet I found out about from a friend, and to day it's probably one of my favorite and holds a special place in my heart. I'd love a Coppélia explained video. I actually want to do an SF retelling of it someday

omg please do a full length ballet analysis of Coppelia!!! Your analysis of Giselle and Swan Lake were both A M A Z I N G and done so beautifully ! They are my favorite videos to watch. I know I’d be thankful for more!✨🩰

I discovered the channel by accident and love all your explanations videos. I learned so much about ballet that I wouldn't otherwise.

My daughter and I have recently found your channel and just love it so much! We are learning so much from your commentary. Thank you so much! Would love a full Coppelia analysis...or any other ballet for that matter. We watched the three you have done and they are just fantastic! My daughter will be dancing Lilac Fairy in YAGP this year, pre-competitive and she and I both are just obsessed with learning all things ballet!

I just love Coppelia so much! Such a bright and funny ballet!

Please please do a Coppelia analysis; it is such a good ballet. My only problem with it is that it sometimes doesn't seem Dancy enough. I like the competition version of the solo better. I would like to see something a little bit more like it in the ballet, but with a bit more of the acting of the usual version. I know it's tough to get the story and character started, and still bring out the wow factor; (there's only so much music). I love the Coppelia music; Delibes was a genius. I like Sylvia and La Source too; and there is a lovely Opera Lakme that also includes a cool dance sequence.

yes please, I think I would enjoy a Coppelia commentary🙂

I loved this one

OMG I'm SO glad you did this video!!! Watching Natalia perform Swanhilda in this ballet was actually also the moment where I was thrown into my obsession with ballet, and the first thing that caught my attention was the music because I recognized it from something else and that just grabbed me for the entire ballet. I've always loved the full-length version more because of that, but I LOVE the choreography for the competition version and it makes me a bit sad that Swanhilda doesn't dance that much for that variation in the full-length ballet. During the last time we performed Coppelia, our director/choreographer actually managed to combine both versions and I LOVED it. Also, I'm sure you know this, but there is a rehearsal for the Royal Ballet with Mayara as Swanhilda, so I almost wish you used that version just for fun, but Natalia IS my favorite dancer so I'm very happy to see her here It would be SO AMAZING if you could do a commentary on the whole ballet because it is my favorite ballet, and I'd love to watch you talk about the character dances, Swanhilda pretending to be Coppelia (probably my favorite thing that she does), and the really interesting 3rd act

so interesting to know there are (at least) two versions

crushing the likebutton with my pointeshoes for the t-chai-kovsky tea breaks

i just noticed you guys hit 7k so CONGRATS!!!!!!! you deserve them all and many more!!!

Loved this, so informative and so much fun. I'd never even considered that the variations for competition weren't taken straight from the ballet but it makes so much sense. I wish I'd seen this before I watched the Royal Ballet's cinema version with Marianela Nunez, I'd have been able to appreciate even more of the details. Would be very happy to watch a full analysis (late to this so perhaps you've already done it)! And for other ballets too. Off topic but have you seen the RB's series of ballet history videos on you-tube? (Quite old now but evergreen.) I think Mayara was the demonstrating dancer in some of them, that's where I first saw her dance. Was a really good series, I thought; would enjoy your thoughts on it... :-)

pls do a full commentary on coppelia

lol love the beginning today

I love your black and white plaid.

Do a commentary please!!! I really would love that!!

Loved the explanations, also. The editing is super funny.

Oooooooh. Memories. Was a young 'un. Went to NYC on my own. To dance. Had little clue about, well.. the Big City. One of the first things I saw.. went to see ABT, the rare air student section. I think, pretty sure it was Cynthia Gregory as Brunhilde, Coppelia. Heavenly. Next morning, went to one of my first ballet classes, a beginners class... and in walks Ms Gregory. I couldn't believe it. She, beginner's class?? Learned quickly I'd walked into The School of American Ballet, Balanchine's first studio (he was long gone to NYCB and Lincoln Center). I had no clue of the history of the studio tho.. just picked kinda from the phone book. Anywayz, each class the creme de la creme dancers would come in. More heaven. Ballet master came to me after the first beginner's class and suggested I should be in his 4:30. Um, me still clueless.. ok I guess. It was the professional class. More creme dancers came in. More heaven. Finally, after a couple of weeks, Ms Gregory came in, and after barre the ballet master turned the class into a partnering class. He said later so I could partner Ms Gregory. Can we say I'd now expired and gone to heaven? All this started with my first Coppelia as a young 'un. Your video brings such memories back... yay.

This video made me realise that every dance class we use this music as a warm up. Seeing what you are normally doing to it has brought sheer terror and awe to my brain. Ballet is so hard, but it's worth it.

I love these variation videos! They make my day 😊

Fun. Love the Ballet Reign!

Yes we need a full length Coppelia commentary please. Also when I did YAGP there were two dancers that did this variation and one of them did the variation from the ballet. I love both variations but me being me I would say that the variation from the ballet has to be my favorite only because I'm a sucker for playfulness in ballet.

I would love to see a full Coppelia commentary! I saw it for the first time on Sky Arts, then on DVD, both versions from the Royal Ballet and it was one of the two ballets that first got me interested in watching and understanding ballet! Love it.

Yes please full length!

Yes, may I have the full-length Coppelia commentary, please

Сванильда в Большом театре показывает Коппелии кольцо на руке, говорит, что она помолвлена и зовёт её на праздник.

Thank you again girls. Lovely start to Saturday evening. So interesting to see how different the variations are but so right in their context. The tantrum always makes me laugh

Y’all are just delightful! And we have very similar tastes, as I’m seeing many of my favorites. Thank-you!

Hello ballet reign😅 just wondering if you have the time to do a commentary on flames of Paris I really would love that, I'm quite new to ballet but with you, I learn so much. And I also love the video

Would LOVE a commentary on full-length Coppelia!

Wow…just think…in 10 years you can dance like that 16 year old if you started ballet at age 6. Wow….10 years goes by fast too. Stick with it you beautiful dancers out there…..❤

I loved this video!!

Yes to the full Coppelia commentary!! Also dw Eden if you bowed to me and danced I would absolutely say yes let's be friends and we can sit together side by side in mostly silence listening to classical music 🤣 Introverts unite!!

Thank you once again. I'm not a dancer and don't know this ballet, but I join with others requesting a full length commentary on Coppelia. I'm loving your channel!

Beautifully explained, as always!

Wonderful as usual! Thank you for your insight!

I'd LOVE to see you guys talk about Raymonda sometime!!!

Yes yes yes please do the Coppelia review . Love your channel Ladies

when my studios company (pre pro company) did coppèlia a few months ago our swanhilda variation we combined both the competition version and the full length ballet version. so we kept the ménage and the opening section from the competition but did the acting and middle section of the full length ballet version. it made it so our swanhildas could do both, the acting and dancing.

PLEASE A COPPELIA ANALYSIS VIDEO! I would also love a La Bayadare or Don Quixote analysis video

I must've been to see Coppelia 13 years ago because my Facebook memories popped this up for me today: "Coppelia: the ballet about how some village boys bully and beat up the local mad inventor, and their girlfriends break and enter his house and the zany madness that follows. the third act has nothing to do with anything."

11:20 I recently danced one of the evil stepsisters in Cinderella and one time we entered the stage someone in the audience said: „oh no, not them again.“ Not a lot of applause for us there. Keep in mind that it was a performance from a ballet school and we‘re all just doing ballet as a hobby 😂

Uhm……what’s so eccentric about using an umbrella on a sunny day? We Filipinos do that all the time. 😂😂

Coppelia was probably the first ballet I saw live. I remember the music being upbeat and fun.

Would absolutely love to see a full analysis of this beautiful ballet. I'm currently working on Swanhilda's Wedding Variation from Act 3 and would love your insight 💕🩰

woaaa I’m familiar with the first ‘competition’ style coppelia variation, but had no idea they changed the original to that-something more suited for competitions like yagp. I thought the YAGP version was taken from the og ballet. seeing the OG one with more acting was really cool!!! and thanks for explaining during the variation☺️ you guys shared some really insightful comments so thank you💕 Like always, amazing job guys ❤️

Thank you very much! 💕💕💕 Please, make a full ballet commentary👑 P.S.: The pronunciation of the surname "Osipova" is more correct on the first syllable according to the rules of Russian language❤

Full-length Coppelia analysis would be wonderful! In the meantime, this was a really interesting analysis of the two versions of the variation, which I hadn't realised were so different. Are most variations that different when adapted for competitions, or is this one unusual?

Come on girl, notice me. I am a Leo and need to be the center of attention. Notice me! I’m dancing.

I really like your videos and ballet commentaries! It's so much fun watching you two explain and comment ballet variations and full-length ballets. Would love an explanation video for Coppelia because I've never seen this ballet.

Great video!

Мы как раз недавно ходили на этот балет. Это большой театр, новая сцена. Просто невероятно❤❤❤❤❤

Please do a Coppelia Analysis !!! That would be amazing! ❤ I love those videos

This was fun. Is there a similar comparison of the first dance of Coppelia (the doll) ?

Anyway, I barely recognized the competition variation from my favorite that I know and love from the Royal Ballet recording with Leane Benjamin. Also interesting that for once you chose the Bolshoi version, not the Royal which is easy to find the full recording of here on RU-vid. Even the Bolshoi version is quite different choreographically than what I'm used to.

Splendido! Amo il balletto Coppelia! Entrambe le variazioni sono bellissime! La versione dei concorsi è adorabile, ma preferisco leggermente la variazione del balletto. La versione dei concorsi è super adorabile e la preferisco coreograficamente. Ma se la mettiamo nel balletto non molto senso. La coreografia del balletto mi piace di meno (ma la trovo molto bella lo stesso) ma si sposa meglio col balletto e col personaggio di Swanhilda. Mayara Magri è una ballerina bravissima fin da quando era ragazza(bellissimo l' assolo di Odile con cui ha vinto lo YAGP), mi piace molto la sua Mizzi Kaspar. Poi Natalia è la mia ballerina preferita e la trovo sempre fantastica, Swanhilda non fa eccezione. Sarebbe splendido un video su Coppelia come quello di Giselle. Grazie!

Please do a full commentary/exploration for Coppelia! Also, could you link the 2 videos you used in the description? Also, also, new subscriber here, are you guys sisters? Friends? I know you teach but do you also dance? We'd love to see videos of that!

But you ARE our favourite ballet nerds... I also feel completely qualified to judge ballet competitions now: Big jumps? ✅ Fancy kicks? ✅ Speedy footwork? ✅ Turn fast and doesn't fall over? ✅ Do a little bit of acting? ✅ Do I, the judge, have tea? ✅ If all the above are satisfied, clearly that dancer wins. Perfect!

Much of that choreography done by Mayara would be called "DEMI-CHARACTER", I think.

I LOVE that you featured a Brazilian ballerina like me. Note how even Mayara is in her extensions and jumps.I ended going to Bolshoi Academy but my training at the homeland helped me a lot because Academia Brasileira is a lot like Bolshoi: big, bold, grande and most importantly both legs are equally flexible, turns and jumps are as even as possible and the flair! 🇧🇷🇵🇹🩰obrigada e спасибо 🙏🏻

Uhm……what’s so eccentric about using an umbrella on a sunny day? We Filipinos do that all the time. 😂😂
