Former Director of The Royal Ballet Anthony Dowell coaches The Royal Ballet's Yuhui Choe and Benjamin Ella through a pas de deux from The Sleeping Beauty.

The Sleeping Beauty holds a special place in The Royal Ballet's repertory. It was the ballet with which the Company reopened the Royal Opera House in 1946 after World War II, announcing its move from Sadler's Wells to Covent Garden. Margot Fonteyn danced the role of the beautiful princess Aurora in the first performance, with Robert Helpmann as Prince Florimund. Sixty years later, in 2006, the original 1946 staging was revived, returning Oliver Messel's wonderful designs and glittering costumes to the stage once again.
Marius Petipa's classic 19th-century choreography is combined with newly created sections by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. The ballet contains many memorable moments, from the iconic Rose Adagio, when Aurora meets her four royal suitors, to the vigorous hunting dances and the famous waltz for Aurora and her Prince. Throughout, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's score conveys passion and intensity.

Aaaaw he's cute - and trying so hard. I agree that YuHui needs to be promoted. She's so polished.

@fabiesque 4 года назад

well no wonder...sorry she's got no star quality. And she does not have a charismatic face at all. With all due respect.

@stripedshirts 4 года назад

*shrugs*. people like what they like.

@noahjared1596 3 года назад

pro trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

@chandlerdarius6380 3 года назад

@Noah Jared Yup, I've been watching on flixzone for months myself :D

How is she not a principal yet? Literally even her mistakes look perfect

@SimonHeartfield 7 лет назад

Overlooked again, shameful from the RB.

@mask6615 7 лет назад

Genevieve B. She is a female soloist now.

@littleoldlady6526 6 лет назад

She might have an injury or a problem which could be a potential injury...

@jeankim783 4 года назад

I wonder if it is due to the same reason Meghan Markle recently expressed her frustration about her life in UK...

@catherinebell2403 4 года назад

She is a principal now.

Is it weird that I actually prefer these rehearsal videos to the actual performances? I love how it is just about the movements, no makeup, costumes or special effects! Also I love the simplicity of the white tutu ♥

@MissLionRose 8 лет назад

+Anna-Carolina Same! :)

@diandrealine7744 8 лет назад

Same here, there's something more enchanting with these videos than videos of actual perfomances.

@talladale 7 лет назад

No, I feel the same. I think we find it fascinating seeing 'behind the scenes', watching these master teachers (for want of a better word) working on every little detail. It makes us feel like we're in at the beginning of the creation of a masterpiece, and there's an intimacy about the rehearsals that makes us realize that these performers are still 'real people'.

@leanna.6410 5 лет назад

Anna-Carolina me too!!!

@heatherhaub5863 4 года назад

I feel the same! It gives me more appreciation for the actual performances by seeing the work put into it.

@rlatimer10 2 года назад

Anthony Dowell is marvelous, what a treasure he is.

@bookworm4231 8 лет назад

Yuhui is such an incredible dancer. There is such grace and fluidity to her movements that keep the ballet from looking stale and rehearsed. An absolute pleasure to watch.

@brendadufaur37 Год назад

Anthony Dowell was such a wonderful dancer.

@LightWardBlue 9 лет назад

What a delightfully charming and humorous teacher Anthony Dowell is. There are no glum faces in the class. Each comment he makes is tempered with a constructive direction, empathy and a desire to see these dancers perform as perfectly as possible.This rehearsal was a joy to watch. Thank you.

@salamura7034 8 лет назад

i have been watching a couple of videos of yuhui now and have to say, she is such a gorgeous dancer. so professional, always smiling and extremely attentive! i admire the discipline of ballet dancers so much!

@danajh6216 8 лет назад

How can ballet dancers not fall in love with each other?

@alohajenna910 6 лет назад

Dana JH what a great question:) Well in my experience of my every day ballet routine we are actually allowed to fall in love but its very rare to do that. Cuz mostly every time during rehearsal we more often change male partners and that partner go to other female dancer sooo... Its pretty rare:( But even tho you fall in love there is a 80% chance you can't be together because you can't really spend your time together or see each other. So we try our very best to not fall in love but focus on our career and dreams:)

@yilsiabonilla9745 5 лет назад

Aloha Jenna that’s tough 😔😔😔

@fungusmoon 5 лет назад

Dana JH better to be professional, I'm not a dancer but just saying

@Nbubs-1 8 лет назад

I've neved looked so intensely at a male dancer before. He was absolutely magical and it was so cool to see a male dancer learning the steps. Most rehearsals that i have seen is the main focus on the woman. Absolutely fell for him I've have to admit it 😂

@chaplintyler9277 4 года назад

I love how Sir Anthony Dowell and Yuhui interact at 15:12. You can tell they’re like family in the company.

@sarahjchia 10 лет назад

i love how this shows that being the male partner and supporting the girl has it's own rules and technical points and is just as important

@brooklynmack4503 2 года назад

Sir Anthony Dowell is as legendary in the studio as he was on stage! What a treat for the dancers working with him!

@boblowney 5 лет назад

what I love about ballet is that the mentors can no longer execute the actual movements but that does not matter in the slightest, they hold the art and their ability to convey it to the actual artists is what keeps the art form alive and vibrant.

@ilovekooky 10 лет назад

I think these rehearsal videos are so encouraging and inspiring. They show that even the masters have to practice, they still make mistakes, and that ballet doesn't ever get easier- you just become stronger.

@RoyalBalletAndOpera 10 лет назад

Glad you enjoy them Amethyst. Have you subscribed? If not, it's well worth doing so you don't miss future films

@cloudchamois7004 Год назад

love the Ballet Master's sense of humor lol. Yuhui is absolutely exquisite! She is the most graceful dancer I have seen.

@carrie7992 10 лет назад

Yuhui is just beautiful. Her moves are flowing. Her overall aura when she dances is perfection. :)

@etherealtb6021 2 года назад

She's exquisite! It is lovely to see someone love to dance as much as Yuhui clearly does!

@rlatimer10 Год назад

The detail and wisdom of the recommendations by Mr. Dowell are marvelous, future dancers can benefit from studying this coaching. ❤️

@na8730 8 лет назад

I love the sense of humor Great teacher

@indydancer-ck8cn 10 лет назад

They both were fabulous! Partnering is so difficult and I'm terrible at it:) Ben will definitely get stronger and he is lucky to be dancing with the always amazing Yuhui. Lovely to the max!

@littlebean8856 2 года назад

It’s extremely satisfying to see something going from great to perfect. Love watching these rehearsals. The instructions are so spot on and humorous at times. Really great instructor. I absolutely love Yuhui, she makes everything looks so light and easy and enjoyable, while so much hard work has put into practice. Such a joy to watch her dance.

@davidlogan4329 2 года назад

Wonderful to see the truly gifted living treasure, Sir Anthony Dowell, passing on his wealth of knowledge to these two young dancers. This is how ballet thrives due to the combination of collective knowledge. Without this it is merely mechanical and lacking in the necessary level of emotional intensity. These ballets are so very romantic.

@XxseetoeweetoexX 8 лет назад

@buibuiopolismayor7329 8 лет назад

He is really cute! And it makes me go aww~~

@Royalbrettania 10 лет назад

ha ! he took his criticism like a champ ! even the top dancers get it ! ...just when Mr Dowell mentioned "Fonteyn used to..." I gasped a little so nice to see how the past imbues the future ....and RB preserving a classic line

@jazzandcocktails 6 лет назад

How she is not yet a principal I have no idea - such a pretty dancer. Beautiful arms, feet, everything just glides so effortlessly. She would be such a joy to watch in a classical role like Aurora. I would love to see her in Carousel, even Serenade.

@ChristinaLuzwick 9 лет назад

awww - Love seeing Anthony Dowell. Love seeing all the little nuances are still obvious in Dowell's body as he coaches them. And I agree; love hearing the reference to Fonteyn.

@MWeggy206 8 лет назад

I'm excited to see more of Benjamin. There's a lot comments and critiques about his height, but Baryshnikov had the same issue - and went on to be a more than amazing dancer. I can't wait to see more of him!

@Aizhaqueeni 8 лет назад

+Megan Kahalehili He's just so adorable too! lol He's baby faced and comes across here like someone who's still learning, but that's what I loved about his interaction w/ Yuhui.

@elizzy8754 4 года назад

I enjoyed so much seeing this video of Anthony Dowell coaching Yuhui and Ben. I had the privilege of seeing Dowell dance on numerous occasions. He is a living connection to 20th century dance history and irreplaceable as someone to transmit the highest traditions of academic ballet to the current cohort of brilliant young 21st century talent at the Royal Ballet.

@victoriac.attorneyatlaw Год назад

I could watch her dance all day. And am actually. Work can wait!

@Penguinpowa12 7 лет назад

Yuhui is beautiful, Ben is gorgeous, and Anthony is amazing ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️

@joeygoei 10 лет назад

I agree with everyone - it is about time Yuhui gets promoted. She is such an amazing dancer and she deserves the recognition and opportunities of a principal! Question. Why is she partnered with a less experienced guy? You can tell he was a little bit 'deer in headlights'

@barbaralemere5183 7 лет назад

What these rehearsal videos show so well is that you can have the most wonderful technique but it's the details that really make it shine.

@AzDoll714 6 лет назад

@ebbaballet8596 10 лет назад

I believe that one should not criticize dancers formed, especially if it is in a company like the Royal Ballet, where he is there is because he has talent. And note that he is still in the corps de ballet, joined the company recently and it is wonderful for him, and most people who criticize are not professional dancers or like him. You can not criticize if a dancer is not one.

@rebeccamcelroy1000 10 лет назад

I respectfully disagree. Whilst I may not like the gratuitous dancer-bashing that often goes on (after all, these people are all amazingly skilled), I don't think you have to be a professional dancer to have an opinion. People who are not for whatever reason professional dancers themselves can still have knowledge about ballet technique, and even people (such as myself- I would never dream of commenting on technique) who may not be in a position to comment on more technical aspects of the art form can still have an opinion about artistic expression, connection with the audience etc. We are the audience, after all. That said, I agree that people who know less about something should not be too judgemental, and be willing to be corrected.

@ebbaballet8596 10 лет назад

I agree with you, but I'm not talking about giving opnion, but to criticize the artist about his art.

@amethystjean1744 7 лет назад

@RickCogley 5 лет назад

I don't know anything about ballet but, she's stunning. It's amazing people can do those things with their bodies; such incredible control and grace. We're so fortunate to be able to see this sort of thing easily. How anyone can dance with Yuhui without turning into a pillar of salt, I don't know. Her smile and manner is mesmerizing!

@krystathirteenth4904 6 лет назад

Yuhui dances like a white fluffy feather in the wind, she's absolutely so dainty and perfect

@charlotteprice6128 4 года назад

I loved seeing YuHui. her penche isnt perfect 180- and her back isn't super flexible but she is still SUCH a gorgeous dancer and its so affirming to see someone who doesn't have bones of rubber being so graceful and amazing. as a young dancer I always get so discouraged because I can't get my leg upside my head-- but at the end of the day that's not what matters the most. thank you for being inspiring to me :)
