That’s hilarious

Who said ballet was easy and painlesss

SO CUTEEEEEEe EGVH SKSKSKS

Wow kool!

Wow I was actually interested in knowing that. Thank you very much ❤😊

It's also used in the main theme of Harry Potter!

Thank you smart side of RU-vid

It's called Celesta

T right 😂😂😂😂🌚💔

XD

Omg lol u just made my day 😂😂😂

Yes but IRL you're not that graceful so at the end they ear you 😅

Whose that extra sneaking down like that lmao

Not the only one

@@johannymar.s thats more like it

@@johntaylor8463 I would love to but you see a virus is on the lose

@@dasampaguita9562Ah ok. I hope you and your loved ones are well. When life is back to normal you will love ballet all the more. Best wishes and God bless us all.

@@johntaylor8463 thanks.. I hope that you and your loved ones and also your whole community. I have never seen a live ballet performance, maybe After the chaos ill get to do this.. God bless us all

The only other ballet that could out do this one is swan lake...

@@oliviaellis2121 Well he composed Swan Lake so I sure it disappointed him that the Nutcracker wasn't 110% as good

Why is that?

As an Artist with an actress daughter, I agree. Nothing is ever as good as we want it to be!! 🙄🙄

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Me 😂😂😂😂

Lol

Haha thats so funny

Kay_Namjoon K I know how you feel.

YOU GO GIRL ❤️😘

Same!

Misplaced 0 no I haven’t, I might take a look :)

I am really proud of you even though I don’t know who you are

Where do you see perfect matching to music?

i felt that too, do you think it is possible that the orchestra is trying to fuck her up by slightly doing uptempo here

Well whatever. I just realised this type of thing is soooo white. It's like for white people. A black girl wouldn't fit to it. Maybe a Chinese girl. But I think black girls are too soul for it and Indians are too bollywood for it. Too spicey. It doesn't fit. You gotta be white

for the RB production this solo is with the oboes@@yura41

Ballet dancers are the fittest and strongest of all dancers. The core strength they have to perform this sort of routine is remarkable. As far as timing is concerned, you've no idea about the way these routines are perfectly choreographed with the music. It's a classic example of pearls before swine. Look that up (assuming you can read).

@Patty Jacobson huh

Yeah

Who TF does that, I mean I dunno but it looks hard as fuck...

It actually is so hard. You have to have so much strength to be able to stand on the dead tip of your toe.

I had a dude tell me you dont need to be strong to dance and istg i woulda snapprd his neck if it was irl

You need proper training and shoes to pull it off. If you tried to point as well you probably would rip your muscles to shreds or something :[

Dude going en Pointe takes practice and a ton of training, not to mention the fact it lovkey destroyes your feet

@@rebbn9363 It's a joke :> I wouldn't actually do it.

Well.. to go en pointe you need point shoes, strong and flexible feet and legs so.. :|

@@ok-ih9rp haha ns Sorry if that sounded rude I mean, who would do that Sorry again I'll just stop

Anonymous Cat good one

Punnnnnn :D

That was sooo terrible... it was funny.

😂😂

@@chipetteseatchips6024 ballet en pointe joke :)))

Pain from what?

Aya Bakir Pointe

Aya Bakir you have to dance on you actual toes and looking at that you can see that literally almost the entire time she’s on her toes dancing. Coming from someone that does dance and pointe, that hurts. Basically what that feels like is if you were to stand on your toes, and I don’t mean your tip toes I mean the top of your toes, and dance around like that for hours after hours practicing. Sure that was only two minutes but the amount of pointe work she did in that is what that feels like.

@@devilofdance6223 ohhh that really does hurt 😢😢 thank you for Explaining

@@devilofdance6223 NOT TO MENTION THAT HARD THING AT THE END-

You’re not alone, after watching an among us video that had “In the hall of the mountain king” in it I suddenly got interested in classical music and now I’m here :)

Yes you are the only one. Ballet is such a niche interest, how could millions of people possibly have an interest in it. Yes, you truly are the only one.

As well as me. I was just watching some horror when I wanted to watch a ballet act. Haha.

@@quienn4303 бййбхйгкл

I saw this in 7th grade but have been in love with it since elementary school.

What a great analogy! 😊

*oh mY GOD*

Swan lake barbie

Absolutely yes! Not even just the dancing, but both that and the music! Hands down lovely.

Ainnur Sarah this makes me hungry 😭

i’m autistic and ballet is my special interest!! i love watching these videos so so much.

They try for the best of the best in Royale ballets

agnes ham this comment made my day! so happy to see someone recognize my hard work

Probably not there stomachs though..

lolbomb gamerpants I’m 100% sure they eat well enough to train for 10 hours a day

as my daughter would say, "ballet is pain. Pain is ballet."

agnes ham it is not excruciating pain, it is painful, but the pain is nit EXCRUCIATING. You want to know what excruciating is, look up “anesthesia awareness”

@KAILEEN.VASQUEZ 103287 so are you in a ballet school?

I got kicked out when i was 5 for failing a spin

@@boredomboredom1055 my goodness you didn’t deserve that! Everyone fails at times! Gosh that ballet teacher shouldn’t be allowed to just throw you out for not being able to do a spin

@@evelyn4120 it was practly dance mom multiple kids got kicked out for failing a sping or leap

@anna oof

Ballet performances are meant to look effortless, in the end the passion you put in and the sound of crowds cheering really satisfy and outweigh the pain

No hate or something but, most of the ballet dancers is dancing, because they like it. Yes it IS pain. But ballet dancers like to performing.

@@sirilauemoller the pointe shoes make it even worse I’m assuming.

@@sirilauemoller I- i never said they didn't like to dance, I've been doing ballet for ten years and have partcipated in several ballet festivals and enjoyed it inspite of the pain, however, I would know that staying on point for more than ten seconds and having to spin afterwards is very painful, but you are required to smile

@Paper_CrownPeriod. My best friend is a ballet dancer, and has been for all her life. She’s so elegant with her dancing. I’m jealous of her determination.

Actually she is principal in one of the major companies in the World, she does this kind of roles really often

@@Joanna.Dorame thats so cool! I wish I could get these roels often i mean i just started soo my only roels are the polys and the mouse at least im young LOL

Erasealldata

They are so under appreciated

I may or may not have just looked this up for the music

Yeah

this video is about THE SUGARPLUM FAIRY not the orchestra :/

@@abigail5609 ok but where would the music come from for her to dance to 🤔 if the ORCHESTRA wasn't there

Ara Hossain if only you knew how much pain that causes and we still have to put a smile on our faces

@@devilofdance6223 i know it's really hard and causes pain. But she is doing the moves so gracefully that it's really satisfying.

We're watching the video, that's the moment.

It hurts but you love it so much that you don’t care..

she looks so happy when she's in so much pain

@BadHairLife- Yeah, jumping around on only your tippy-toes can be brutal, too!

relatable

moooooooood

BadHairLife kinda like figure skating. Looks so easy.......

That’s the point. To make something so difficult look easy and be graceful while doing it. Ballet takes extreme discipline and training. Similar to opera or figure skating.

You rick roll me

@@tiredandhungry8088 oh! Sorry. This vid will cheer you up: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ub82Xb1C8os.html😊😊

@@tiredandhungry8088 welcome

What is this variation called? Is it just called the RB variation

Yeah. My cousins a part of the Royal Ballet school in London and she once had to get sent to hospital due to her pulled muscles and over-blistered feet.

this is a hilarious comment because at my dance studio, when we do nutcracker and we're learning sugarplum, we all say that pas de chat part is the hardest lol

PLEASE THAT'S SO RELATABLE I CAN'T-

I remember seeing somewhere Ballet and Gymnastics were called the two most physically demanding endeavors. Gymnastics more for the upper body, and ballet for the lower. While still needing considerable strength and flexibility for both. Though I have no source for it or proof, always stuck with me.

@@pattyrice4597 FR ITS THE HARDEST

I relate so bad

😂

Me

everywhere I wear a hoodie and jeans so uh

for real she looks gorgeous tho?

True...I grew up in Moscow, and attended ballet classes. Needless to say, my teacher was ruthless, and I didn't have enough willpower so I dropped out :(((((

I never had a Russian ballet teacher, but just from watching documentary they look scary

@@selinachen7795 fr I Just feel bad for them they too rough on kids

I have been doing ballet 🩰 for 5 years and I’m still not that good but all ik is that those shoes.......HURT LIKE CRAZY

My Daughter is 9 ans sur is doing pointe

Royale kingdom I have dancing for 5 years also!

I have been dacing since I was 2 and was dreaming about being on point and my dream has almost come true! I am on pre-point.

MsFriendsfan4ever silent stories.

I am 13 years old and I have had no ballet classes in my entire life. Yet I have practiced for seven years only by a book

And I perform for my school every month

Also the point of ballet is to make it look effortless

Well the bad part is it is not graceful to actually do. It is straight up PAIN like no joke . It is probably the most graceful dancing in the worl or lyrical but that’s another story , but it is like PAIN like...

No entiendo en que idioma hablan

I think ballet and second for me is tap because I live pounding my feet 😂

I would say Ballet and Flamenco are the 2 most beautiful

But also the most painful one

Even I agree that beauty is subjective, and I also think the ballet is one of the most beautiful dance forms out there, but South Indian classical dance has me in awe- m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UTZD06_HSe0.html

I just realised I was coughing through this whole video lmao

It was the first thing I noticed. SO ANNOYING

Maybe they are sick, they cant control it 🙄, dont be rude

Ne diyon

@@kuzenlerbrawstars6138 Her zaman performans boyunca sürekli öksüren biri olur diyor

There's no way in the world that was effortless.

Where else would she look?

@@stephlrideout you don't only look in one place when you dance

I know, so why wouldn't she look out to the audience? That's the most natural place to look.

Stephanie Rideout not all the time, I do ballet and you don’t look straight in front of all the time - you’re eyeline changes a lot because you follow your arms

I won't hit like just because of the number of likes you have. 222. I can't ruin that!

@I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY ! there have to pass through a lot o strict measures to make it this far

@I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY ! yk the road of the ballerina is not as simple as it may seem

@@mugiwaraprincess I would be surprised if anyone thought it was simple. A lot of work for not a lot of pay. A lot of pain. These women are superheroes.

@@Musicienne-DAB1995 ikr, they really go through sm but many still don't get the appreciation and remuneration they deserve . they're really amazing !

LMAOOO 😂 underrated comment

BlackCat Dab my queen dab

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ah yes a dab du élégant

PPPPPPFFFFT

Ross Ewen so true

Thanks for the explanation! I thought the audio and video weren't in sync. she's not in sync with the louder instruments, but she is with the quieter ones =)

I was confused as well but then I heard the background notes :)

I got your point, but, to me, both dance and music are just in line

same here, I never thought it was out of sync because I usually hear the whole orchestra and not just the loud instruments :)

crocochoo Totally agree!!! She is sooooo graceful and elegant !!!!!!

crocochoo I have to do this in my recital because we are doing the nutcracker and this is the video that my dance teacher showed me. I'm the sugar plum fairy in one show and Clara in another

Oh, I bet you'll be divine :3

crocochoo meanwhile her toenail is fallen off because that’s the sacrifice of doing point

Her steps are so light cause’ she’s wearing these shoes called ‘ Pointe shoes’.

Mar’s Laboratory i was trying to find a comment about that!😂

It's coronavirus lol

😂😂😂stahp

I don’t hear it :(

Kurkuma me I’m that person lmao not joking I have asthma

One of the most stunning arts in existence!

I love Nina Kaptsova's performance of the piece.

I would beg to differ

Speak for ypurself

Feeling the same😍

Samee...

I do this everyday soo hah

Pffft why?!

Nah, im gonna start ballet and im practicing at home too so yea..

Loved your comment lmao

You gotta dance to stay alive

You've literally made my day

lmao

@Lolbit XD thanks

@Lolbit Have I seen you somewhere?

Same, but after 4 shots of whiskey

@Honeybee royal LOLLL

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

she just spins on her toes. a week of practice you can do it

​@@brownie3454 are u fr? it takes years of discipline, balance and training to also not break ur toes? it takes years to have the ankle strength to go up to 'spin on your toes' and it takes flexibility and hard work.

@@abandonedsorryguys not years, a week

​@@brownie3454record your self doin it

@@Hahshdhbcbcyoutube ew creep

For real my calves and hamstrings hurt just watching this

​@@williamhanson9493 Noice troll attempt guy! You can't actually be seriously comparing ballet with the UFC because that would really mean you're that dumb. So it's fine, because you weren't serious, you were just trying to be funny. Failure to be funny is fine! You just suck at comedy, nothing to be bent out of shape for. Way better than being stupid enough to compare ballet to punching and kicking people! That would be a massive L so it's a good thing that's not what your comment is about! Phew! Dodged that bullet! Or should I say... that "ballet"? Hah! That's how we keep it topical instead of mentioning completely unrelated stuff on a video about ballet! Like out of nowhere mentioning the UFC for no reason! That's just weird! But not for a joke! If it's just a small trolling attempt, it's allowed! Can you imagine if it wasn't a trolling attempt? How stupid you'd sound by making that comparison? Heh! It's good you didn't do it! The cringe would be phenomenal! So much cringe from a comment that, out of nowhere, would try to devalue the decades of work and discipline that go into these dancers mastering their bodies, working to learn choreography, working with orchestras and bands to finetune their performances and actually performing on stage. Would be such a weird connection to make, too! But it was all a small troll attempt that failed miserably so it's alright! ^_^

So true; I actually do know what they go through to achieve this. And I wish I didn`t.

Wondering how much they earn ok the US as a ballerina. ❤❤❤

​@aaronvanzile3824 how about those toes. Ouch!

I just noticed he wasn’t a painting.

Hahaha same tho until he moved his head then i was shocked for a while 😂

Same XD

I though it was painting suddenly it moves and its scares me lol

Harry Potter painting

🌼💫🥰

Me too omg. I've grown into being nerdy and academic which I love but sometimes I miss the dance days haha. And I envy people who fit in both studying and proper exercise!

I lasted three years when I was younger and had to quit because the teacher told me I was getting fat lol.

I danced ballet for about seven years before my dance teacher retired and got replaced by someone who wasn't nearly as good, and then I stopped and have been pretty out of practice ever since. I'd love to get back into it, though--I'll never be able to dance with a professional company with my bad hips, but I'd like to get some of my flexibility back.

Same! I danced for about 10 years and then stopped and would love to go back and learn more. Wish I was more flexible and coordinated as my younger self

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

malia !! If your are a dancer you may now she was dancing the deep notes that can be hardly noticed it the music

Ok... this is random and totally ruins the fancy vibe but.... I love your profile pic

Mary •-• She was dancing the deep notes?

Ross Ewen yeah, she really did make it look cute!

Brenda Calderon it may be satisfying but it's also pretty painful

Brenda Calderon Obviously not or pointe shoes wouldn’t exist

@@deandrareynolds7371 actually it is INCREDIBLY painful. You think that something wouldn't exist because it hurts? How can having all of your bodyweight going through the absolute tips of your toes NOT be painful?? 🙄🧐

ashotofmercury My reply was to Brenda Calderdon not Simply Canadian. I was saying that Brenda is obviously not the only person who finds it satisfying to watch ballerina’s dancing in pointe shoes, or they wouldn’t bother, would they? Especially as Simply Canadian pointed out, it’s not exactly comfortable and easy.

Brenda Calderon i like to see class/rehearsal vídeos without music. the noise of the pointe shoes when their dancing without music for me is everything.

• Coffee • if only they knew 😭😭😭. They have no idea how many times I’ve broken my toes and still had to dance and do pointe 😭

Except there are no jokes in the comments section...🙄

@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Yes there is

I see nothin but praise in the comments

Almost all comments are positive. You have chosen to notice something that is barely here.
