Pretty much the way it happens every time I am practicing music..all the pitfalls and failures, then BAM. God puts it all together ❤ You all are AMAZING artists ❤
In my head this what I'm doing everytime we rearrange our living room furniture but my husband doesn't agree. He doesn't appreciate or understand art. 😕
Made me feel panicky when I knew a person was rolled up in that carpet! I have terrible claustrophobia! But did look super cool to see her roll out and dance. 👍
The only think I'm ever disappointed by when this part of the ballet happens is that no one ever includes one actual belly dancer, or a ballerina that can belly dance too and flow between both. We have ballerinas on the pole, and doing hip hop, but never bellydance when this scene is like *right there*.
You owned it. All the practice and hard work is showing. I enjoy watching your journey as you tackle different variations, as you find your artistic mark within ballet. 🥂To your continued success!
What I like most about Melanie, besides her talent and technique, of course, is that her smile is real, we can see that it is not a smile of obligation for being on stage or even in the dance studio, but rather for her happiness. of being there and doing what you love, knowing that you reproduce it very well. It's difficult to see any dancer like that. This is really cool ♥️
They did that in the movie “Cleopatra” starring Elizabeth Taylor…she was wrapped in a carpet and unrolled…nice interpretation and surprise for Coffee. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No, that's what historically happened to the real Cleopatra (we aren't sure if it truly happened though), that's why the famous movie scene and this ballet scene exist, not the other way around.
It's usually included in most adaptations of Cleopatra's story since it's supposed to have actually happened. If you haven't seen the Cleopatra with Leonor Varela, Billy Zane, and Timothy Dalton, you are missing out. The whole thing is incredible and that scene in particular is fantastic. Varela was a wonderful casting choice. (All of the principals were, really, but she's absolutely *stunning* as Cleopatra.)
In the nutcracker I performed in she came out of a giant tea pot. This is definitely my favorite dance in the nutcracker and I love seeing all the different ways it’s performed.❤
No me puedo ni imaginar estar dentro de una alfombra enrollada, que difícil no desesperarse, cómo respira?! Asombroso talento y disciplina Melanie y todas las bailarinas que interpretan ese papel.
I absolutely love watching Melanie, what a graceful beauty. Sorry sweetie, you are one of my favorites, and you make me smile at practice and now on stage ❤
This might be my bias having grown up in a military town, but Jour is giving big "back home on leave" energy. As complex as it is, it's always good to love on your ppl!
Couldn't help but laugh remembering the Fails while rehearsing this in studio🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣and then... Perfection ! 🥰🥰🥰🩰🩰🥰🥰
Haha same here
Yes! Especially when she was trapped because they had it backwards. 😂
Was wandering if anyone remembered that 😂😂@@elizabethbottroff1218

SAME😂😂
Imagine if they rolled you the wrong way again 😬😳😂❤
ahahah yeah !
I imagine they learned to double check for that 😅
I would be trying not to giggle with the memory 😂 Was sooo good though!
They have a video of a practice when she rolled the wrong way xD
Again? 😂😂😂😂
Melanie is a gift to ballet.♥️
She is insanely talented as a dancer. Such a pity that's she's so very unattractive. That pointed nose and chin make her look very "witch" like.
In my head this what I'm doing everytime we rearrange our living room furniture but my husband doesn't agree. He doesn't appreciate or understand art. 😕
💀💀💀
LOL
😂💀😂
As long as he is real about that!😉
You keep him busy huh? 😂
She gets outand up so easily and gracefully..
Sheer perfection..
It looked MAGICAL!!! It’s crazy, but beautiful.
I just imagine being so claustrophobic rolled up in a rug. But that was a cool entrance and you did it so perfectly 💖
Первая мысль была про клаустрофобию)) аж задыхаться стала

The styling and costuming is just wonderful. Fits her type beautifully.
This was always my favorite part of this Christmas ballet. It allowed so many different and exotic intrepretations.

It's giving cultural appropriation frankly
@@Noname-nn2hm it's a record of how we have seen each other in the past.

She just rolled out of a carpet like nothing...😅👏👏
Should have seen the bloopers
You think she hasn't practiced 100s of times? Lmao
Nice nod to Cleopatra's intro to Caesar according to Plutarch

are you confident you included enough emojis?
@@shizukagozen777no one said the movie did it first, champ.

OP clearly didn't know that it (maybe) happened irl. 🙃

Nutcracker? Such a Lovely piece!!
I'm fairly certain this is not the nutcracker!
@@Jorindeify It definitely is.
@@DanielleSlater-st6yc To my knowledge, the nutcracker doesn't have an middle-oriental theme.
@@Jorindeify it's the arabian dance from the second act.
@@Jorindeify it does have an "oriental" scheme, and it is from the Nutcracker. It is called Arabian Dance (in Act II).
For those who are wondering, this is how Cleopatra did to meet Caesar.
So much control and musicality
Melanie is literally born to be a balleriana she's so good😭‼️💕
My absolute favorite part of all Nutcracker Suite ballets. I've loved this song before I eve saw the ballet.❤❤❤
I love watching Melanie. She is so gifted
So cool and you did it amazingly
She’s such a beautiful dancer she brings tears to my eyes
OMG YES GIRLL!!! that entrance was beautiful!!!❤❤❤

WOW - I love the Arabian Dance!!!
Love the carpet trick!! AMAZING!!!
Это не арабский танец,это отрывок из балета "Щелкунщик"😂
@@ОльгаЮюююyes, and it’s called Arabian dance 😅
@@Pookie_bear_27 you can tell who doesn't belong here and therefore has no clue 😂
@@CaptainAMAZINGGGWow
Балет Щелкунчик , великое и превосходное прохождение , которое вошло в наши истории на века. Каждая вариация своеобразная, как и игра исполняющие роли
ARABIAN if my FSVORITE OUT OF THE WHOLE SHOW I ALSO SAW THE OTHER VIDEO OF THE LIFT, PERFECTION ❤

Whatever I hear this song, it reminds me of the fishes in Fantasia. ❤❤❤
Me too!! Beautiful movie
In the nutcracker I performed in she came out of a giant tea pot. This is definitely my favorite dance in the nutcracker and I love seeing all the different ways it’s performed.❤
Can we just have bosses in video games have more ballerina stuff like this? Itd be so epic
Melanie ur my fav dancer at master ballet academy 🥹
I was like OH MY GOLLY! A HUMAN BEING BIRTHED FROM THE CARPET!

No me puedo ni imaginar estar dentro de una alfombra enrollada, que difícil no desesperarse, cómo respira?! Asombroso talento y disciplina Melanie y todas las bailarinas que interpretan ese papel.
I absolutely love watching Melanie, what a graceful beauty. Sorry sweetie, you are one of my favorites, and you make me smile at practice and now on stage ❤

You and tessa should have a RUclips channel if you don’t ❤❤
Wunderschön !!!😊
Oh, my favourite Arabian Dance! I love it.
Mann this is probably like one of my favorite songs from the Nutcracker!❤️🔥
That's how cleopatra snuck to woo either Cesar or Antony
Great corigraf ❤
Beautiful! 👏🏼
This might be my bias having grown up in a military town, but Jour is giving big "back home on leave" energy. As complex as it is, it's always good to love on your ppl!
I love this repertoire
Ur so talented!!! U r an inspiration for me because I love dance 💗
,Melanie удивительная!!
Хорошая балерина,но она больше гимнастка ,пластики и артистизма мало,акробатические номера
@@alexandraalexandra4101Согласен, какая-то механическая и везде улыбается, хотя существует много других эиоций
can’t stop watching it😍
This has become my favorite part of the nutcracker!🩰
Sei bellissima ❤
