Tchaikovsky Pas de deux rehearsal  

The pianist deserves a compliment too!

Nela is one of the few dancers today that actually dance instead of just going through perfect positions. Her movements come from internal feelings, emotions and intentions. They are actions more than movements. It's not a body moving, it's a soul speaking. So important and fundamental to art and so forgotten these days.

Vadim has grown into such a beautiful dancer over the years. His smile the entire time and the ease with which he supports Marianela makes this so amazing to watch. Thank you!!

I can't even think about the day she'll retire... I've never seen someone like her , dancing with all her heart, feeling every single part of her body, giving a meaning to every single movement, giving herself through every choreography... I fell in love with her artistically the second I saw her, and I think it will just break my heart when she'll stop dancing... God bless you Marianela, you're the definition of Dance to me. PS : Vadim is incredible too but hey everyone gets his favorite 😅

The end with the pirouettes and port de bras and fish dive was interesting. All smooth like if nothing 😯

Marianela’s always smiling xD oh and also she looks gorgeous without makeup

Just beautiful, the look of sheer joy on their faces! They are such an amazing pairing. Nela is just sublime and an absolute asset to the Royal Ballet, she's just flawless.

She is the epitome of grace. She obviously has perfect positions but her upper body is flawless, she focuses on artistry rather than the number of pirouettes she can do.

I watched this live when Royal Ballet went live on World Ballet Day 2020. It was the first time ever I saw a ballet performance and dancers rehearse because in my country ballet isn't popular. Marianela and Vadim were the first ballet dancers I saw that day perform and I was completely mesmerized! Both smiling and dancing so effortlessly, so beautifully! I clearly remember Vadim's hair flying when he would jump! And Marianela's dancing was pure and made everything look easy! By now I've seen some more ballets but till date, it's only their partnership that I absolutely enjoy watching. The charm of firsts, I guess! Love you both, Nela and Vadream!

Amazing! This types of videos inspire me to do ballet. Marianela and Vadim are incredible

The Vadream Team - perfection - even in rehearsal

Love to see her pairing with Vadim, they have such chemistry!

I don't think this is danced at the tempo envisaged by Balanchine, but seeing Nunez and Muntagirov dancing with such smoothness and harmony, I actually like this slower pace. One has time to appreciate the choreography and atmosphere.

her smile lights up the world

Wow, she just glides. Dancers so well together: early on she was floating gracefully down. Great share. Rehearsal coolness.

My word is she pure magic or what?? She is a GIFT

Love their smiles! What a great duo!

Luckily there are moments like this, thank you

Each one is marvelous and together they are perfect.

Ugh they make it look so effortless!! Stunning job!

Perfection. And this is *after* not being in the studio for how long..? Heaven.

True dancing every bit of her from top of head to tips of fingers and toes Her expression superb and you can tell she dances from the Heart !!

I always smile when I see Nela smiling as she does here!

They nailed it without making any mistakes when they're doing in this rehearsal.

...dare I say Marianela has Margot's smile, absolutely delightful. xx

They need to show the whole thing including the solos and the coda to show them both off properly.

I love these two. Just wonderful. Thank you Royal Ballet for bringing us these special moments to us of art in the times we are in.

She makes it looking so easy and flawless. Love it

Sooooooo musical. Complete command of her body, using it as the music tells her to. Both WITH each other, and TO each other, FOR the audience. If only all dancers did this!

Marianela is sheer perfection.

I've never seen anything so very magical. It always allows me a reminiscent view of these two artists. Maybe crippled reality gets in the way. Thank you very much.

This is ridiculously beautiful and sublime. It transcends full costume display to strip every movement to the bone. Pure art married with technical expertise. Takes one's breath away. Love the way the division in the skirt moves from front to back during the dance. Thank you so much for so much beauty.

I can't help but smile the whole time everytime I watch Nela and Vadim. 🥰🥰🥰 Love. From Brazil. 🙏🏽😉

How wonderful that we can see beauty like this ... thank you

the lift at 1:08 is beautiful and so so graceful

She really is marvelous! Her legs go right with apparently no effort.

Beautiful lines, both of them. Gorgeous extension. 😍 They both look so happy to be dancing again. SO ARE WE!!! ⚡️💃🏼🕺🏻😁

Oh, I love her, she is really wonderful dancer and gorgeous woman♥️

No one looks genuinely happier when they dance than Queen Nela 💖

La sonrisa de Marianela....💜💜💜💜

Ah, Vadim is coming along nicely, I see. I've really been enjoying watching him develop over the past few years. He's still growing into that tall and lanky frame; there's still a lot of the boyish in him (as a side note, nothing to do with his dancing, I'm so very glad to see his skin problem has cleared up, because I know he was very self-conscious about it and the cruel social media comments). I never thought I'd say this, but that sweet, goofy face may end up quite handsome in another two or three years! Looks aside, the important thing has always been Vadim's talent. That's always been mature for his age. Here also has an excellent attitude and work ethic. I'd imagine any of the women in the company are quite chuffed to learn they'll be paired with Vadim, knowing he'll be rock steady and make them look their best.

💫🙌💐💐💐🕊

Nela!!!!!!!

와우

so she’s perfect... got it.

Can someone please tell me the name of this music??? Is so gorgeous!!! And the dancing is even better!!!!!

2:50 she hit the piano notes with her leg

Am I the only one frustrated that I can’t see the choreography because of the cuts to 3/4 shots and close-ups of faces? The joy of watching rehearsals is in seeing the WORK, the whole bodies in space, the HOW of it, the sweat of it. When WBD started, it was like having the “choreographer’s viewpoint”. La Scala posted a Giselle rehearsal this year that put a lump in my throat because it was SIMPLE: Without distracting camera, I saw elements of the movement I’d never even seen before. Despite having seen that pas de deux a hundred times. I think RBC dancers are the finest in the world. But watching the “improved” WBD format, with the mood lighting and close ups makes me feel sad and frustrated. The treat of WBD was watching my favorite dancers as if I’d snuck into a workaday rehearsal room. Now it feels like the camera is upstaging the dancers. I wish you would go back to a simpler filming style.

Would like to see more of Vadim dancing. Marianela is great but so is Vadim.

The guy commenting, "Good" every once in a while is hysterical. Good? Marianela Nunez is perfection.
