This is so much fun to watch. It is wonderful to see the traditionally female choreography danced by men - not only do they execute the choreography beautifully 'sur le pointe' (and have excellent feet and legs for it), but they also perform with an aggression and an attack that one rarely gets from women. It is really incredible. I have one critique, and its a big one - they need to ditch the farcical elements. There is no need for it. The Trocks can perform the classical steps at a level that makes it unnecessary to have all that thrown-in farce. Especially when performing the 19th century Imperiall/Petipa-derived pieces, which IMO should always be taken seriously. Certain things, such as the ballerina getting (what appears to be) a cramped calf muscle at the start of the adage, or the male dancer pretending to loose control of his tours à la seconde at the start of the coda, are just unnecessary and beneath the level the Trocks are at.
❤👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 bravo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely wonderful ❤
Who can find this funny? A bunch of male mimiquing women... Like whites usted to do with black people for fun. Not even good comedians.
I think that men should dance on pointe only in serious rolls. Not in dragshows. I hate dragshows!
Beautiful example of always follow your dreams!!!
Watching again, still gobsmacked by this dancer's abilities! Is this a stand-alone piece or is part of a full ballet? The score sounds like Stravinsky . . . .
Remarkable performance! Stunning! Fantastic! The dancer is superb . . . and the audience plainly recognized that! Bravo! More!
Без девчонок - не то.
WOW! All-male performances! Imaginatively choreographed, brilliantly danced, and VERY hot! AND, men en pointe! Bravo to all!
There is never enough Trockadero.
With rehearsals like this, who needs performances?! Outstanding, delightful, impressive, and so much fun to watch! Thanks for posting.
Bad technique. Very clumsy. No flexibility or precision. Reminds me of the elephant ballerinas in Fantasia. If you want male point work use male strengths of power, jumping…. Otherwise you mock the female ballerinas with their incredible grace, lightness, flexibility, beauty. Ballerinas defy gravity. Not challenge it to an arm wrestling fight. Maybe male choreography instead of tutus and female choreography. Good with one handed lifts running up the stage.
IT's a sexist show. The dudes don't know what turn out means. This sucks.
The Trock in the tutu has beautiful feet! And they are both wonderful dancers.
Nothing more beautiful than a man in a tutu!
Loving these videos -- from Toronto, Canada
Bravo from Toronto, Canada
The Monty Python dance was charming!
Siempre me encanta el ballet de los trokadero pero estos bailarines son jóvenes ,que bueno que tienen dónde ensayar,me gusta ver a los pioneros de este estilo niños adoro hace años
Why do men en pointe, have to be in drag? I've searched and searched and there is almost no occurrence of a performed en pointe routine by men (not dressed as "women"). Imagine men being men, en pointe? Also cool would be to see ANY pointe work without the lacy "skirt"/clown collar. Take men en pointe seriously! It needs to have the respect it deserves, it's an athletic talent technique.
There's a YT video of the Mercutio variation sponsored by Siberian Swan, danced by Danil Kostylev - honestly, the presentation is only slightly short of bizarre, albeit with its own quirky charm. He's quite good en pointe. I recommend the video. And . . . you make an excellent point about attire; I did drag (NOT in ballet slippers!) for a couple of years just as a lark, but I can't honestly say that I like ballerinos in female attire. Ballet is tough enough, but for men to dance en pointe requires a level of commitment above and beyond the norm. Finally, men dancing in women's costumes just plays into all of the bad old tropes about ballerinos being fags, fairies and queers - which we do NOT need! The male dancer is as much an athlete as any boy or man playing sports. Proof of that point (if any be needed) can be seen in Bruce Weber's magnificent "Roberto Bolle: An Athlete in Tights", which intersperses photos of professional athletes with those of the magnificent Signor Bolle.
@@richardcleveland8549 Thank you for this beautiful and erudite comment in response. Stunning! I will check out those two productions.
AB-SO-LUTE-LY! The damned tutus just reinforce all of the ugly tropes idiots use about male ballet dancers! Leave them to the Trocks, who ridicule the ridicule!
This is so cool!
Not only are they great performers and artists but they are true athletes not a bunch of whiny old football players that get on my nerves they're the ones that act like old queens these guys are men truly love them seen him a few times over the years and never disappoint
Это так очаровательно!Круто!
👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
gorgeous so gentle
Graceful and delightful!
i have watched this an unhealthy amount of times, i love it so much
So beautiful! Can't wait for the next performance from this awesome company!
Difficult to see, behind all those blinding lights.
Amazingly beautiful pointework!😃👍♥
Fantásticos! Felicitaciones 👏👏👏
Love every moment!!!!
She , I mean he , I mean they are both really good in this.
Nice one, you have a new sub. Why aren’t you using Promosm!? I recommend using it to promote your videos.
wonderful , Carlos , you was formidable !
Thank you for dancing on pointe.
Me encanta su versatilidad, muy profesional, my principito I love you 💕.
So excited I get to see your company in September! I am seriously on awe at the incredible talent of all the dancers ❤️!
I love this. I love that this is an option now. I love that it's respected. I love that you exist. That is all. Thank you.
It is so fine to see men dancing on pointe!❤
Not only do I enjoy their performances, but seeing the Trocks in rehearsal is a special treat. OK, they are presenting a finished product in mufti, but I am always fascinated in dance rehearsal shots seeing other dancers practicing or marking in the background. And the appreciation of fellow performers is also great to see and hear.
How I love it !!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Absolutely wonderful, so so talented and a joy to watch 💕
Absolutely incredible and mesmerisingly beautiful! Thank you for keeping the performing arts alive in any setting!
Wow!! Looks so cool! Will there be virtual ticket options too?
I need ballet22 in my life (and in my town once the pandemic is over and sitting in theaters is a thing that doesn't involve terror and one's ears falling off again)
