Justin Peck's "In the Countenance of Kings" with music by Sufjan Stevens 

Anytime I’ve had a hard day, I come back to watch this video and it brings me so much joy! ❤️

Love love love it!

I frickin love everything Justin Peck. I know nothing about ballet. But I love watching everything he choreographs!!! Good work Justin 👍🏾

Literally my favorite video on RU-vid.

Everything is beautiful about this! The music, the choreography the location and even the framing, like at 2:05 and on, it's just BRILLIANT!!! Love it!!!

HOLY SHIT! That was BEAUTIFULLY danced, shot, and edited! AMAZING WORK!!

What a beautiful film! Terrific dancing. I wish I was in SF so I could see the entire ballet live. Bravo to SF Ballet for getting an original piece by Justin Peck. I've seen his work a lot in NYC. He's brilliant.

Wow. A ballet in 7/8. What a time to be alive

This is why ballet may yet be alive in the 22nd Century

merci merci merci ça c'est un tube danse video et musique. tout en un. bravo génial!!!! 👍👍👍👌💓

Loved it. bellisssimo. Bravo to Doris and Frances, and all.

Fabulous, tingling visual excitement!!!!!

I can watch this clips more then thousend times and every time I like it more! The music.. the movement.. the passion!!... I just love it! Thank you!!!!! :)

This is my favorite dance of the 21st Century! I have shared this video with my students at Mission College. It would be wonderful if San Francisco Ballet were to perform "In the Countenance of Kings" in Stern Grove this summer.

After seeing the premiere last night, I can't help but want to see it AGAIN. Such phenomenal work. This video is A+ work as well.

This gives me CHILLS every time I watch!It was beautiful to see in person as well. The chills came right to me as soon as I started recognizing the music

This is how master‑piece looks like.

I love how this was shot so cool

Just so absolutely incredible I can't contain myselfffffffffff

I honestly never would have expected myself to like ballet. Holy shit this is amazing.

I'm so looking forward to this!! I have seen two of Justin's pieces for NYCB and cannot wait to see what he has done for the wonderful dancers of SFB!!!

Beautiful 😍

Really love this short film--and the music by Sufjan. Brilliant that our ballet will be doing this one soon. Can't wait to see it. Will Sufjan come to any of the performances? Justin Peck? So much talent. Very inspiring.

Love It!! Gorgeous conception, staging, and choreography!!

This is an amazing video! Love the dancing, the editing, the cinematography... EVERYTHING! Amazing! 😍💕❤️

Love this dream come true film,I LOVE this train station so beautiful inside, great job👍👍

That’s fantastic

Électrisant !

This is fantastic!! I love love it!

It was a wonderful show, saw the last performance today!! I'd like to see some performances in the Oakland 16th street station as well!

this is pretty amazing

Wonderful!

My little sisters and I watched some while ago this documentary about Justin as choreographer: BALLET 422 . I recommend it.

simply perfect

How fun!

I really like this.

Absolutely enamoured with this clip.... the choreography is brilliant and the cinematography is enchanting! ... A ballet set to "The BQE"... dreams DO come true. Will this ballet only be performed in San Francisco??

Bravo! I love it!

Majestic

Lovely! Fun! Brava!

GREAT !!!

I have seen this ballet now 7 times. Thank you so much for bringing it back for the 2017 season. Can you also bring it back in 2018? :-)

A PERFECT 3mn ballet

Why is this choreography so cold? Just when you expect camaraderie-- nothing, just when you expect heart--a vacuum.

Beautiful video. What camera was this shot on?

I am very taken with this! Great back drop/location too (where is this?), and though usually a fan of pointe shoes, I really like how this looks in trainers.

I can't watch this too many times, it's wonderful, I love the end sequence, what kind of movement is that? Does it have a name? Fabulous work, Justin, Sufjan and of course the Dancers!! I have never seen anything like this!

95,917 cool.

Amazing performance and production, where did this happen?the location I mean

Can you do a video like this for every song on the BQE? Please... It should be pretty doable :)

Is there a specific name for this piece of music?

Who shot this?

I'm really curious about the dancers wearing tennis shoes while on location. I can't imagine it was to protect the floor, while I could see pointe shoes being bad for a floor I can't imagine ballet flats doing any damage. Is the stone floor perhaps bad for ballet shoes? Or worse yet: bad for dancers' feet?

Amazing, but am I the only one bothered by the fact that the song is "Dream Sequence in Subi Circumnavigation", not "In the Countenance of Kings"?

Where is this location?

Music is extremely nerve-racking. I like minimalist music, e.g. Glass, but this is just too antsy to be comfortable. It will be a tough sit to get through this at blasting volume in the Opera House.

Is there an artistic reason for why the girls are in leos and the dudes are just wearing normal clothes? Or why they are all wearing sneakers? Probably not.

Brilliant!
