    You know what drives me mad? that these dancers train just as hard, or even harder than most sports players. However, dancers make millions of dollers less than a professional hockey player.

    • @TheEternalScream
      @TheEternalScream 10 лет назад +82

      The thing is that sports player have a bigger audience that is also easier accessible for the public. Ballet is still seen as something that only rich people watch and as a stiff and stuck up sport. It's not really a communal sport.

      Ballet isn't a sport, it's an art! But you're right, most people just want to drink beer and have fun with their friends, so they go to soccer/hockey/football games, because they are pretty easy to understand and have no deeper meaning... -.-

      Yes, ballet is beautiful, but what people are looking for is something that will easily entertain. Something that you can cheer for and have pride for, you know. You cheer on your team against some other one. That's why sports are so popular.
      Like, dance is easily one of the most entertaining things to watch, which is why sports like rhythmic and artistic gymnastics, figure skating, etc. are always nice to watch and appreciate. The only difference is competition.
      Edit: I think other thing is that people don't necessarily understand ballet. Everyone knows it's strenuous and a gorgeous form of art, but they don't know any of the positions. It also doesn't help that ballet isn't accessible to many. Ballet, I feel, is a very competitive art. It's like gymnastics, where you have to have a certain body type to really succeed (beautiful arches, hyperextensions, etc.). Furthermore, ballet isn't like a school club or anything, so kids aren't exposed to it in actual life. They aren't able to really experience it unless they join a studio, and even so, the studio probably isn't the best at teaching ballet. And, to do well in ballet, you [normally] have to start at a young age.

      @@summertime7651 I absolutely agree. The companies and dancers are not necessarily the marketers to push this art to the general public, like Russia where ballet dancers are celebrities and have the higher social status. For that purpose, World Ballet Day in recent years is a great asset not only to the ballet world, but also the human race!

      I was lucky being a student in America (where we are embarrassingly monolingual for the most part) that my father speaks about 6 languages. It made adapting to following directions in French much easier. To see what if felt like for French dancers, we occasionally did class in English. For example: four stretched on the cross.

    I read that professional ballet dancers make somewhere around 30-35k a year. Why do they get paid so little? They train their whole lives, push their bodies to the brink of limitation, and have to be perfect and elegant while performing in front of an audience. You would think they would at least make 100k. I know people will say they are doing what they love but, damn, that's no money at all. You might as well work an office job and make like 50k or something. I would be pissed if I was a ballerina and people like Kim K makes millions while doing absolutely nothing!

      Exactly. Instead of promoting women who twerk and degrade themselves and the men rapping about negative things that damage communities; art like ballet among other classy forms of human expression should be the norm. It's disgusting how the world focuses on dumb and negative things. I don't understand anything in today's so called culture; maybe I was born in the wrong time period lol.

      @wangruochuan 10 лет назад +4

      yep. thats what happened nowadays. you know in china, we have one kind of ballet that involve a bit more acrobatics, something from russia i guess. these dancers get train when they are very young and most of them suffer from back pain, hyperosteogeny and sequelas after their 30s. if they get famous, they get famous. if not, they ll lose everything, time and health. i watched a tv interview about a dancer couple. after they graduation they went back to their hometown and opened a little grocery store. the reason why they stop pursuing dancing was because the husband didnt want his wife to suffer more pain. so sad. they look like more people on the street. they had a dance on that show too. it was amazing!

    • @jey2697santiago
      @jey2697santiago 10 лет назад +17

      Mate, this is easy to answer why they earn so little. Well because there are hundred of dancers in a company, and a company has to provide medical care, ballet shoes, the floors and the stage. The rest goes to the dancers, divided. Thus, this means little wage for them.

    • @mydancetv
      @mydancetv 10 лет назад +17

      Principal dancers can make much more than that. It depends on what company the dancer is with. Even apprentices make more than that if they are with a top company. Also, look at Misty Copeland, she increases her income with product endorsements and commercial contracts =) But I agree dancers should be paid well! I would guess people like Osipova do just fine =)

      Agreed. I realize that these dancers, while beautiful, do many things technically improper from an anatomical standpoint. With all due respect. And I must say without reservation, these dancers and their teacher inspire me completely and fill me with gratitude. I love dance, and I love dancers.
      That said: two of the things I see immediately are, that many of the dancers are not using the floor as in "tendu" (which means 'to stretch'). They lift their foot just above it and therefore cause unnecessary tension in their legs, hips and back, and feet. It is so much healthier to push the foot down and into the floor just enough to create a nice balanced pressure between the foot and the floor. This way the dancer will experience more freedom during performance of movement.
      I see some dancers squeezing the glutei muscles while working. This is not necessary. Squeezing and overworking these muscles when they are not needed to perform various movements is called, "faulty muscle recruitment".
      Learning to isolate certain muscles and muscle groups is key to quality performance of movement and purity of line, and most importantly --- a long healthy career.
      Back to what you first said... yes, it is true that you need a teacher. And the teacher must always focus on 2 principles... efficient skeletal alignment (ESA) and functional muscle recruitment (FMR) as the basis for the lesson.
      And further be able to choreograph exercises that give the student the opportunity to develop this institution of ESA and FMR.
      It is a science to know how to prepare the body for something as intense and extreme as dance is on the body. One that avoids injury and establishes a technique that involves freedom of movement.
      After learning these two principles, the dancer has the opportunity to become a true Master of their art.
      I appreciate being able to comment. This is not meant to offend. Thank you for reading.

    I used to be a ballet dancer and I regret stopping so much! It really teaches you a lot of dicipline and it's a great workout, also it really helps you to get a sense of music and a feeling of tact

  • @godlesslippillow
    @godlesslippillow 10 лет назад +3

    Once I got into dancing as an adult I noticed that every single ballet teacher I had didn't wear ballet slippers. They would always wear something other than ballet slippers. Socks only, varieties of jazz shoes, street shoes, bare feet but no ballet slippers of any kind. And now I see it's the same at The Royal Opera House.
