The Royal Ballet Full Class - World Ballet Day 2014 

When the teacher started the instructions and the students just did them, I was blown away. They have impeccable focus.

Can I say absolutely appreciate the ballerina at 13:26... 15:40 pregnant and still going to ballet class and strong too. Giving it her all. That's true ballet love.

its crazy how he just spews so many instructions for the choreo and the dancers just memorize it all that first time through. so impressive

If y'all put one of these classes up every week I would watch every single one of them. I can't get enough of this! Please consider uploading more daily classes.

They have a hell of a Pianist!!! This man is FANTASTIC!

haha the Instructor singing thank youuu~ its nice to hear a chilled Instructor rather than a yelling one.

The pianist is GREAT!

8:06 Yasmine Naghdi, principal (green jacket) 13:00 Steven McRae, principal (redhead guy) 13:45 Elizabeth McRae, soloist (pregnant one) 20:00 Frankie Hayward, principal (grey jacket) 23:14 Eric Underwood, ex-soloist 26:00 Sarah Lamb, principal

It's soooo cute how Elizabeth is pregnant and Steven (her husband) is at the barre with her 💖that is love goals

I am really fascinated by the teacher. He cannot be much older than his students but he seems to be so confident and I just admire him for the way he is giving classes. It is a pleasure to watch this! :)

they all have such good turnout, i wanna cry

Impossible to stop watching. Just fascinating. How I wish I could have learnt ballet as a child.

Please never delete this... I come to it time and time again for inspiration and as a reference for technique! :)

Everyone says sth about the dancers or the teacher...But nobody says anything about the wonderful pianist!

Brian seems like such a warm hearted person in his teaching style. It would be difficult not to feel encouraged by him!

i love how the teacher talks to the tune of the song

I love how he says 'thank you' before every combination begins

I love how the teacher sings along with the music 🙂🙂 he's inspiring to the pianist!! When the teacher is musical the pianist can understand the timing and intention of the exercises and do the best!!!

I could watch this over and over and over again. As I'm sure I will. I'd love to see more classes. It brings such personality and humanity to the performances. It makes you cheer for the dancers and thrill in their achievements. Thank you so very much for uploading this. Bravo!

the instructor is such an eye candy!

my biggest regret is not taking ballet when i was younger.

The pregnant ballerina is amazing for being able to dance even with a huge belly bump! Her principal dancer husband is training next to her, too. They're an amazing couple. ❤️ Also: Steven looks really bomb in every angle.

Been watching for half an hour and didn’t even notice how the time flew. This is mesmerising, and for some reason, even more than actual performances.

Is that lady pregnant? That's amazing! I love how everyone is equal during ballet class, be it soloist or corp de ballet everyone does the same thing at the same time! It really shows a sense of unity!

This is so wonderful to watch. And as a few before me have said, the Pianist is the best. I wonder if people realize the talent, skill, and facility it takes to do what he does in a rehearsal like this.

I could watch this all day. I like the Ballet Master this year.

that pregnant lady is my hero omg how is that even possible

Brian is a wonderful teacher and the class looks like it makes you feel really great and is kind to your body.

This was the most beautiful ballett class I´ve ever seen. All the dansers are so professional. Their bodys are realy living works of art.

I had see many times this ballet classs. Amazing. Love this barre. Love all class. And i'm wainting for the next World Ballet Day, 2015!

Steven McRae was amazing.

THIS JUST MADE MY LIFE

34:47 Steven McRae has such good musicality, it almost makes the other dancers look bad

I watched the whole video through bit by bit over 2 days and I’m astounded at the total dedication and athleticism of these dancers, and they’re just warming up ! Beautiful in itself

This video has made me very self aware on the fact that I'm basically a potato. Also, is no one going to talk about Sarah's fouettes near the end? I mean DAMN.

Impressed by the increasing diversity of RB: slowly but surely. Also the manege/coda free for all at the end was a terrific opportunity for the dancers to practise their tricks.

It's so wonderful to watch the pro's during practice. It gets me more inspired to do well (even though I am a beginner.) :)

This video is wonderful! I am disabled, so unfortunately I can't do ballet. But I am trying to stretch (don't know the right word, sorry) my muscles as if I could really move them. This is a very good practice for me, even my physiotherapist said that. Thanks for the video!

I love the male principal dancers wife. Shes giving me sooo much life!

I'm excited to see how her baby turns out☺️

The guy in the green long sleeved top is a treat for the eyes

This was absolutely thrilling for me to watch!! Brings back such wonderful memories. I was a professional Ballerina. Studied under Houston Ballet Theatre since a wee, tiny tot. Was then the youngest member of Dance Artists of Tulsa at age 13. I had a solo at age 13 in a ballet called "Rhapsody in Blue." It was the time of my LIFE. Anyway, I'm homebound alot these days with an incurable illness (age 48...bluh lol), but I STILL do some regular ballet at home for exercise. Mind you, I'm not pirouetting across the floors anymore at my age haha! But oh, how I love ballet. The fluidity of the movements & expression through dance. Thanks so much for posting this video. I was enchanted & could NOT stop watching! ❤

Such a beautiful sight to see a pregnant ballet dancer

Steven is amazing!

Thank you thank you! I am a composer and I can't tell you how inspiring this is. I watch it in the background as I compose sometimes, or watching this will inspire me to practice more piano. Wonderful :)

Well, the high- heels of the dancer speaking through the lesson are simply AMAZING !!!! She is so elegant.... She has just taken over the entire scene and the music on the background. You are simply Divine !!!!!. You have an incredible Taste. 😍😍😍😍

that coda at the end was fabulous

1am in the morning and I‘m watching this ! I don’t know how many times I already watched it! Steven and Matthew are and will forever be my favorites!❤️ Wish I would have continued to dance ballet when I was younger instead of getting into ball sports! Everytime it makes me wanna dance so bad!!❤️❤️❤️

Omg during the last ten minutes I felt like I was watching a bunch of super humans...

Dancing is wonderful...the pianist is simply superb!

also the dude with the red hair is amazing

I am now oficially addicted to these videos! Yesterday I started trying to follow through with some of the exercises, and, mind you, I'm 300lb and have herniated discs. Needless to say, I woke up feeling like I was run over by a tractor a dozen times. Jesus, I am so out of shape. Aside from my aches and pains, I really admire those wonderful ballet dancers, the amazing pianist (I am a pianist myself), and the entire atmosphere of beautiful art. It goes to show how hard these dancers work behind the scenes, how many years, decades, it takes to perfect their art, and they can never stop. When we watch them on stage, it looks so perfect and easy, but wow... this is hard work. Even being in shape and doing this every day, I cannot imagine the exhaustion of their bodies, how their feet must hurt. Please keep uploading these videos. I know I am never going to be a ballet dancer now at 42 yrs old and so obese, but you guys gave me the motivation to get up from the couch and start moving. I have made it a point to go for a walk every day for at least 30 minutes, and at night I will delight my eyes watching these beautiful ballet videos! Thank you! 😊

I find this particular company to be amazing. I've watched all the company ballet classes and I think it's so complex yet simple and just graceful in all the best ways. Absolutely mesmerizing to my eyes! Wish I could do ballet but I have no experience sadly

Brian Maloney, synonymous with beauty, elegance, professionalism. I love your work so much.

The barrel jumps of Steven are just perfect

omg what a perfection, their technique so amazing. I could watch this class over and over. So elegant. Arriba Ballet!

Girl with the blue top and grey is absolutely divine to watch. She's actually dancing!

Σήμερα διάβαζα πάρα πολύ. Όλη την ημέρα είχα αυτό το βίντεο ανοιχτό και παρακολουθούσα στα διαλείμματα, έτσι για να ξεκουραστούν τα μάτια και το μυαλό μου. Ο δάσκαλος είναι υπέροχος, ο πιανίστας εξαιρετικός, οι μαθητές άπαιχτοι. Thank youuuu

This whole video is like a study in amazing leg warmers.

Elizabeth,Steven and the baby are so lovely

Ten pianista jest mistrzem świata! Brawo chłopie!!!

The black dancer in the red tights is so beautiful to watch and his jumps have a floating, "suspended in air" quality that is so lovely.

the very last part of the rehearsal was mind blowing! incredible work! and steven mcrae was divine!

the amount of work and dedication these young men and women put into their dance is amazing....and very few will ever gain any acclaim from it all...sad

Thanks for posting the entire class. I've watched it several times already!

I learned so much classical music from pianists playing for ballet classes over the years. Thanks to those unsung heroes. As much of a workout for them as the dancers😊

i do repeat this ballet class in my bedroom once a week , i use my window beam or top of my bed as barre :D Then when they start to doing center i take my yoga matte and strech , strech and strech till the end of the class:)Gosh, inreally love ballet and It's shamefull that i live in this country.:////

This maitre is THE BEST. He breathes the language and is inspiring. From 48.00 it’s astonishing how fluent he is. Bravo !

It beggars belief to a non dancer how they remember the teacher's long list of steps to be done in sequence! I'm sure it comes with years of training...but wow!

This is why the Royal Ballet is one of the best in the world hard work equals excellence !!

a real sense of joy comes across!☺

Bryan is such an amazing teacher, he presents such a profesional easy class. Perfect to warm up for rehearsals. He is the perfect example of what a company teacher most be.

I honestly watch these to sleep. It's so enchanting I wonder how it would be live.

those jumps, turns and pirouettes at the end were AMAZING

Alexander Campbell seems to have a finer, “smoother” way of moving than Steven McRae, but McRae seems to greater range of motion and amplitude. They’re both great dancers and REALLY, REALLY easy on the eyes. I love watching them both. And they’re both Australian!

I just found this video. it is Awesome. For hoots and giggles I danced a long. 36 min. in I had to stop dripping with sweat.. LOL. Haven't taken a ballet class in many years. I am searching for an adult class right now... I just loved it. It felt wonderful to move like that. I thought I had forgotten all the French terms.... but it is much like riding a bicycle it comes back to you.

Thank you for putting this up for us! We really appreciate being able to watch this class after the 48 hour cut off.

I love the free-for-all piroettes, jumps, fouettes, everything at the end! What fun that would be at the end of class.

OMG THE RED HAIRED MAN IN GREY! SUCH FEROCITY AND PASSION 😅😍

Thank you for this class,i `ve enjoy it very much. All of them are amaizing dancers deserve where they are,i admire that hard work and all that selfcontrol.I am a clasical spanish and flamenco dancer but my first steps was with ballet and i understand very well how hard it is to get that range.My sincerely congratulations to all of you

I love the pianist

red head guy is so beautiful to watch. Fantastic video. Love ballet.

Matthew Ball is amazing! I wonder why he's still an artists, not a soloist... I also really like Fumi's dance. She's got such a perfect not only proportion but talent.

Besides the delightful dancers and teaching.....beautiful music. Thank to the pianist...great work!!

I would like to hear the teacher instead of the commentary.

Wow!!! It's absolutely wonderful to have the opportunity of attending a full class of The Royal Ballet. Am I dreaming...???

Thank god that this was finally uploaded!!! I thought it would not happen. Please keep them coming, I love watching these full-classes. Very inspirational and this one was better filmed (POVs from above) and less interviews. I look forward to the next one (there will be a next one...right? :)

Thank you for sharing! I am adding some timestamps to help me come back to it for reference. 0:00:16 Plié 0:04:10 Tendu 0:12:54 Jeté (as polonaise) 0:14:38 Adage 0:18:10 Fondu 0:20:37 Frappé 0:24:56 Grand battement 0:47:23 Relevé 0:57:48 Sissonne (separate)

This is so much fun to watch! I remember the day after this aired, my ballet teacher incorporated the petit allegro (the glissade assemblé combo) into our class. It was a tricky combination, but a lot of fun. :)

I really like these full classes being uploaded. There rest of us not blessed with the gift or never had the chance in their life have always been curious what they actually do in a class.

The ginger guy's beats are out of this world.

Amazing dancers!! Much love from Germany

This is just so calming!

"Push the floor away." ?!!! My favorite RBC correction ever. It works in REAL LIFE? Sore back? Headache? Stand up and push the floor away. Works LIKE A CHARM! Brilliant bit of coaching.

In love with this guy with red hair

So much control ... it's amazing what ballet dancers can do.

real men do ballet LOVE IT

BRAVO WOWO. Love the free for all spins at the end. The girl with the mint top, black skirt and white tights spins like a TOP! Amazing.

great patterns- i recognise some of the music from my classes lol. Like this comment if u do any sort of dancing

Seeing Yasmine Naghdi here (and knowing that it would only a few years for her to be promoted to principal) it's really no surprise - she's outstanding (imho) in class and has some of the neatest petit allegro I've seen from a woman! And gorgeous extensions... But they're all so amazing..
