- The Royal Ballet's Guest Principal Ballet Master Christopher Carr rehearses a pas de deux from Frederick Ashton's romantic ballet The Two Pigeons with First Soloists Yuhui Choe and Alexander Campbell, accompanied by Kate Shipway on the piano. Find out more at www.roh.org.uk/productions/the...
Frederick Ashton, Founder Choreographer of The Royal Ballet, created Les Deux Pigeons for The Royal Ballet Touring Company in 1961. He restaged the work for the main company later that year as The Two Pigeons. He and his regular collaborator John Lanchbery (La Fille mal gardée) worked together to adapt André Messager’s 1886 score, created for a ballet by Louis Mérante at the Paris Opéra. Like Messager and Mérante, Ashton turned to La Fontaine’s fable of the same title for inspiration - but Ashton tells quite a different story. He explores the nature of love in a work that has deft comic lightness and soulful pathos in equal measure.
Lynn Seymour and Donald Britton created the roles of the central pair (though in the premiere Christopher Gable danced the male role, taking over for an injured Britton). Ashton was drawn particularly to Seymour’s vivacity and effervescence; together they created a personality for the Young Woman that is charming, impetuous and lively, adding character to the ballet’s charming humour. Ashton’s choreography draws a strong distinction between the uninhibited sensuality of the gypsies and the lovers’ interactions, which often - to both comic and heartfelt effect - suggest the movements of birds.

I love how he says, "why can't you hold your leg up there longer?" and she just does it! Yuhui is amazing, love to see her perform
I cannot properly put into words how much I love ballet instructors. Just older dudes going de da de la rererererere *poses majestically*, is the perfect accompaniment to an already very charming dance. It just puts so much clear focus on every little thing that is happening, I almost prefer rehearsals to finished productions
Plus, watching an older dude show a ballerina how to a GORGEOUS pose...well, I don't know about you, but it cracks me up every time.
@@Kiwibloom 😭
i so so so wish yuhui would be promoted to principal ugh. this chemistry is just so special and rare
nochu Ugh you and me both. I'm already angry she's not promoted.
"Not too fast, Kate!" LMAO
I loved this so much! Yuhui and Alex have great chemistry. :D
YUHUI CHOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE HER!!!!!!!!
Same!! *_*
Many many people love her! Same here in 2018!
How can they absorb all the corrections in this small laps of time!! I could never handle this much stress
Yuhui is just fantastic. I'll watch any clip where she's dancing. She needs to be promoted.
She's lovely, there's beautiful detail in her dancing. Lots of character is the port de bras. This is not easy choreography!
Alex is just amazing as always. Yuhui looks so cute as well!
Yuhui gives me life!❤😍😍 Does she even know that so many of us love her?
She is the cutest thing I've ever seen...
I love how the ballet master has such respect for the dancers. He has so much passion, as the keeper of the ballet. and the dancers are so insanely talented that they can literally do what he asks... immediately. I'm in awe of the physical talent but also the intellectual talent ~ to be able to remember the choreography as well as each piece of criticism and nuance. Fantastic...
14:33 Alex forgot the step and had to run to Yuhui jajajaj
+Carolina Tavera i only realized it thanks to you, his face is priceless!
Carolina Tavera Lol 😂can’t stop laughing now.
"And a ONE and a TWO and a PIROUETTE CATCH and BACKWARDS and a WRAP." It's like sports commentary, except way more tuneful.
This was an extraordinary piece of artistry! The emulation of the bird like mannerisms as well as the technique and the control was amazing.
Alex has already been promoted to principal.... when's Yuhui's turn???
She seems to be working a lot harder than him.
Sapphire still waiting 😭😭
@@erod97 right!???? UGHHHH
marcelle215 Praying it will happen next year😂
Totally waiting! She's first soloist now, so just a bit more :)
Christopher Carr is my cousin!! Great seeing him doing his great work x
Four minutes of amazing choreography with four hundreds of details to attend to...!!!
Yuhui is so lovely
All these little tweaks he makes them do are magical. You wouldn't think they'd do much but you notice a huge difference once they do it the way he envisions it. Quite the artist!
I love you Yuhui💖
It amazes me, Yuhui's persona and ability is all so inspiring. She takes correction and critic so gracefully.
Truly the pressure to learn and grow on the spot is a wonder in its self. How the dancers are able to let thier honed skill, talents and love for dance, flow through them. How they project the joy of dance and emotion through their movements.
Is beyond inspiring. So beautiful and graceful. We will never know the pain, the dancers dance through, for us.
I bow with gratitude to all that give everything and leave it on the stage, for us. Thank you💖 God bless you
This choreography is so charming! The dancer’s chemistry is really great.
reseals are so much more interesting than the actual performance. you see the deconstruction of the ballet and the rebuild back to the performance and can appreciate how terribly difficult it all is
It would have been nice to include the segment where the two dancers got a chance to make a few remarks after the rehearsal. That was very charming too.
They are both so adorable :')
Honestly she is so amazing. Her dancing is mesmerising 😍😍
I've never seen anything more pidgeony! It's fantastic, and they are lovely dancers!!
I’ve watched all of Yuhui’s videos that I could find and she’s so stunning and charming and such a sweetheart and cheeky and naughty as well. Stunning artist, hope to see her in real life one day. 💕
Yuhui Choe, amazing dancer!
MY FAVOURITE PIECE PERFORMED BY MY FAVOURITE PDD PARTNERS HOW MUCH BETTER COULD THIS GET

I never get tired of watching them dancing, they are so amazing!!!
thank you!!! I loved this part on world ballet day!!! I was looking forward to watch it again
Love the Choreography, so whimsical
Gosh I love their facial expressions and characterisation. This is a complete joy to watch!
Shows the incredible genius of Fred Ashtons choreography Intricate-challenging-and so lyrical!
Two great dancers really capturing through brilliant coaching Ashtons unique romantic style
wow they make it look so easy
Ballet masters are so fascinating to watch.
Yuhui is such an amazing dancer
Watching this lovely rehearsal in 2021! Bravo!
kinda hoping choe and campbell will get to do another royal ballet live rehearsal together for this year!!
I’m still playing this, so lovely
Does anyone know if ROH released footage of Yuhui and Alexander's performance of The Two Pigeons? I just recently got into watching these two dance and am dying to watch their full performance!!!
I really want to watch it but i can't find it
Yuhui is excellent!!!!! 👍🏻
This looks like such a difficult dance fascinating to watch. Yuhui and Alex are incredible!
Yuhui is so cute! she dances her part so well!
Such a skillful dance, love YuHui!!
i loved this! my gods, it looks so much fun to do.
Love this rehearsal, love this PDD - thank you ❤
We saw this performance in a film broadcast last night. It is superb!!
Love Yuhui and these 2 together 😍😍
That was absolutely adorable and cute!!!!
This dance is so cute for both of them!!! Its kinda funny because they both sorta look like two little pigeons! (so kawaii) :3
I guess they played there roles perfectly!
I guess Yuhui still needs a good big role to let the 'acting and emotion' part shine, but technique and personality-wise she melts my heart.
Lovely delightful and playful choreography well danced thank you
Am I the only one when he says “Down, Down, Down...” am absent mindlessly nodding their head down
oh my gosh, this is SO beautiful!
What a fun piece! Big fan of Yuhui!
ballerinas are surprisingly good actors as well!
thanks for putting this up!!
I love her so much!
So wonderful!!
Down dugga down dugga down. Flat da dada. Taga daga da. De da de da de dum. I loved this!
14:08 that was soooo cute!!
this seems like such a stressful and fun but mostly stressful job all at the same time; i can't even handle the stress in my ballet classes. RESPECT
Shes a beautiful dancer
soooooo adorable!!
Can't stop watching this
I got to see this piece on the 27th with Iana, Steven, and Fumi, and it was just lovely - very cute and funny ballet with wonderful dancing. Highly recommended!
