Raven Girl in rehearsal (The Royal Ballet) 

they partner extraordinarily well together.

Must say, Sarah Lamb is just the perfect dancer for McGregor's works. Her physique/technique is brilliant!!

4:27 that develope into the section where it looks as if she's walking on air.... Yassssss!!!!

Simply gorgeous. Sarah and Eric are pure beauty.

They are SO lovely together... Even though this is just rehearsal time, it gives me goosebumps. I do hope this won't be seen as controversial or... anything negative... but the contrast in their skin colors makes this that much more beautiful. So much love for these two!!

Wow--such gorgeous, imaginative work! McGregor does an exceptional job of building movement in collaboration with music and narrative. The movement is fresh, inspired, and evocative. The couple dancing here are is so impressive.

THIS CHOREOGRAPHY IS KILLING ME!!!!! I'm in love! I love this type of choreography so much, I would be in heaven if I got to dance this!!!!

I love this snatch of a MacGregor piece in the making with these two wonderful dancers. They make difficult movement look graceful and together make Sarah seem weightless. It's amazing. I wish there was a recording of the whole thing. I just come back to this video again and again. Whatever the controversy it raised at the time, I think the conscious contrast in the dancers' appearances makes each dancer more striking and beautiful as one moves with the other.

Magnificent...absolutely beautiful...Eric Underwood, Sara Lamb and of course maestro Wayne McGregor..wow...

I love how Wayne directs, with his sour effects for every movement. It's funny to me, because my band director would teach chamber pieces like this, so to see the same type of teaching only used for a different medium, is very very cool.

Foo, off.. Fooo, waaay, fzzzzz jump! Tiiaaaam. Cool. Fuaam, bam, fueeeei...

I know this was quite a while ago, but I'm hoping that The Royal Ballet will have this on again! or at least have the dvd out so I can purchase it >.

They make it look so effortless. Such a breathtaking piece!!!

Go to 0:11 when he says the first "um" And skip ten seconds 3 times

If you ever get a chance to see this performed you should take it. It was one of the most amazing ballet's I have EVER seen . Wayne McGregor is a genius

Glad you enjoy them. There are plenty more rehearsal videos on our channel. Click subscribe to see them as soon as they're posted!

breathtakingly beautiful, love the choreography!

I love the way this man teaches, giving little sound effects and whatnot. =]

Wow that is really beautiful. I suppose there's no real chance of seeing it live in NE Ohio. .. Could there maybe be a dvd of this released at some point?...Please... I'm sure no one would mind waiting for a few years, we fans are a generally patient lot...

This music and dance simply melts my heart....

Every rehearsal video I see I want to watch the actual thing!!

Just Beautiful!

What a thrilling experience to see even a snippet of this magical, ethereal ballet, performed with such grace and precision by Ms Lamb and Mr Underwood. Superb choreography by Wayne McGregor, against a most fitting score. How I wish I were able to see the entire ballet on stage, featuring the original performers. Is there no filmed version available?.

So beautiful. I wish I could see this.

Love this so much! Thank you!

Wow, that looks so beautiful. I wish I lived in Great Britain, so I could see it!

Once again, ROH, you treat us well :) Sarah Lamb is such an exquisite dancer!

This choreography is amazing. I really liked that it's pretty unconventional. Both dance beautifully. I think I'm in love ;)

Absolutely Exquisite. Wonderful. Wanting to go see the ballet, so desperately, but not much chance of that happening, I'm afraid. Good job guys!! Keep on dancing!! This has inspired me so much. I love to dance, not ballet so much, but dance, and ballet is so beautiful.

I love the sound effects! shhp jammm booeeeh!

YeeeeeeeeSSSSSSS Erik!!!....... u betta get it Boo!!!

Omg. You guys are so amazing. I love the way Wayne McGregor works with his dancers. I love his communication through sound and movement. They work together on a whole new intuitive and creative level. Most of all they make it look so effortless and natural. He works them hard but they get him and the collaboration is beautiful and compelling. We need this so much in the world today. This makes me very happy and comforted. It's inspiring and gives me hope for humanity.

Que hermoso Dios mío!!!!!!!

when are they going to show this? It looks INCREDIBLE

This looks incredibl,e I really want to see it

loving the technical terms fwoooommm wayyyyyyy wooooo bwaaaaaaaah shwoop :D

Wonderful, very elegant moves.. I'm not very fond of ballet, but this is simply stunning. I wish I could see this one day.. Congratulations, it's very beautiful, more than my words can describe..

When is the official performance? The rehearsal for this is so beautiful, and I want to make sure I see it. (:

I really love ROH stuff but I live worlds away and it really pains me that I can't watch all these incredible art

Sarah Lamb...these dancers...the choreography...my goodness...

I saw this on Saturday and really enjoyed it, are there any recording of the music?

Wow...

I bought tickets for this and then couldn't go. My lucky daughter and son in law saw it last night. Envious.

When are they coming to NY this year???

9:45 the music sounds really beautiful here :O anyone know what this genre of music is called?

i have a tring park audition soon and i need a second opinion, should i do my audition wth a dance a know well and have pretty much perfected or should i make a new dance on pointe to really push myself. i really am inspired by your stuff so thats why im asking you!

Music is very sensitiv, very nice. Please, can some feeling soul gave us the whole in YT? A beautiful and attractiv couple !

Must see this

WOW

is there anywhere to watch the entire performance?

Does anyone know why Sarah wears those bindings around her calf muscles?

wow

Same here:D More interesting than just pa dadadam dadadam dam dam, i think that would help me to get the right quality to my moving, if i was working with him! (Not even in my dreams.) I adore hi's works!

sooo-oo.. I would like to know what happened to physics?

Fwoom. Fwoooooom

This is a rehearsal, she isn't wearing the costume. These are the practice clothes she chose to wear and it's what she's comfortable dancing in. There's nothing wrong with that.

anyone knows the background music starts at 9:50 ? please!

Where can I see it

+Royal Opera House Where can I see this in the U.S.A

what is the name of the song??

That is how choreographer's talk sometimes.

I wish camera men were dancers before.

Isn't she the one in the role of Alice as well??

What is this ballet about?

The music sounds like something from final fantasy, a piece nobuo uematsu would compose :)

Parece que ela tem uns 20kg
