The narrator is saying that Danish ballet master Bournonville learned everything from the early French school of ballet, while French dancers were influenced by the virtuosic Italian school developed towards the end of the 19th century. She adds that French style nowadays is characterized by its elegance and very brilliant, precise technique. She finished saying that at the end of every class they bow as a way of showing respect towards the audience and their own profession.
This was my favorite tv documentary series growing up - I watched it so many times I wore out my vhs tapes. The series was the first time I saw Sylvie Guillem - Makarova introduced her as a new nineteen year old star on the show.
Et voila ca c'est Mme Christiane Vaussard qui été la meilleur professeur du monde. Elle a été tout des super excersises. Et je panse que l'école de danse de l'opéra national de paris est la meilleure école aussi. Ils savent comment devoir danser et ca c'est tres important aujourd'hui. Bravo!!!
video on the Paris Opera Ballet. instructor speaking in French. narrator speaking in German. love it! hahaa back to the dancing..i wish i had been put into dance when i was younger. at almost 20, i think i'm a little late.
I love how delicate and relaxed their arms are when they dance -- so elegant! This style kind of resembles the vagnova style but maybe I'm wrong about this? Sometimes I just can't quite distinguish the difference. It looks like they move a little faster than the Russians... not sure though
Love it as well, but it is quite different than what I am used to. I think the French school focusses a lot on musicality, more than Vaganova does. And it's quick, like Balanchine, and had the flow in the arms and upper body like Vaganova. I really like comparing styles, although every teacher brings something different, so you can't always put your finger on it.
Yes I think the French are lighter on their feet and maybe more eloquent. But the Russian have their strengths too. They are strong and exact and their training. Some of those girls with their vaganova training have extensions and strength that are hard to believe.
Ottima l'idea di presentare il grande lavoro che sottende a quella mirabile impressione di leggerezza che poi apprezziamo nei balletti. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
ok the girl u see right in front of the camera from 1:04 until 1:44 is really good, i mean they all are, but i couldn't take my eyes off of her.she is so talented!
Think about it a different way... I have friends who are naturally tiny although they eat very well and are very healthy. They are naturally very thin and they don't control that... They do eat hamburgers, and chocolate and treat themselves often, but they still maintain a slender frame.
@TheBallerina2000 Traditionally Repetto is worn as they supply for the Paris Opera Ballet's prima ballerinas, but other makers are being used more now (perhaps in part due to more internationally travelling dancers). However since this is an older video they are all probably supplied by Repetto xx
Haha people are saying they are too thin because they are use to seeing overweight people like americans. But these girls are perfect! Nothing wrong with not being fat. Oh and yeah I agree...I'd rather see a thin dancer than a fat or muscular one.
@OtakunoOdoriko exactly. Plus, they genetically have that kind of body. They're chosen with thin complexion so they are naturally like that, so they don't have to starve or something.
merci c'est vrai que tu as raison c'est pourquoi je fait de la danse depuis 6ans maintenant mais pour m'entrainer chez moi j'aime bien recopier sur les exercice d'internet
I saw the Paris Opera Ballet perform Giselle at the Kennedy Center this summer. It was the first time they performed there in 10 years and Giselle and the prince were in their 40s!
@DictatorIceCreamCone They are doing many tombes, pas de bourees, echappes, ballotes, pirouettes, releves, passes, and many, many, many others. The jumps that they do across the floor are called several different things depending on the syllabus, but two common names are saut de chat and grand pas de chat. The turns they do around in a circle are called pique turns en dedan. As to the difficulty of the steps, they are more or less advanced steps, though intermediate students would perform them
Excuse me, does anyone know any of the moves used in this video, especially when they're doing that bit across the floor? Also, the difficulty of the moves would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
@MsOMyGosh Actually, you can play music without talent. I have played many instruments without talent - just a lot of hard work - and have known others the same way. I still got many compliments on my playing. Like I said, lol, hard work can get you wherever you want to go, it just takes more work obviously. :)
The first piece that the pianist is playing is a Polonaise from the opera Onegin by Tchaikovsky. And when the girls do their jetes, that is from Don Quixote.

I love how she calls them "mes enfants". There must a really great relationship between teachers and students.

Very impressive
The studio is freaking adorable.

I should say that was something more than beautiful! How they move their arms and legs! Wonderful!!!!
The french have such perfect feet when they go on pointe and long necks.
LIL RONNY G this is the result of a very strict selection at the entrance, based on very precise physical criteria
Miteki Kudo's hand movement in this video is so mesmerising.

Wonderful! And she seems like a great teacher with fabulous, positive energy. Beautiful all round.
This looks like a dream to be in that dance class💕

Quelle extraordinaire prof de Danse. Beaucoup de bienveillance malgré la difficulté de cet art .❤🎉
Strangest thing... I watched this and suddenly tears were running down my face...
Seeing that this comment was made 8 years ago... suddenly my tears start dropping as well my friend
On voudrait savoir, cette vidéo etant ancienne, que sont devenues ces élèves très douées, puis cette fabuleuse professeure❤❤❤. Bravo Madame!
Ottima l'idea di presentare il grande lavoro che sottende a quella mirabile impressione di leggerezza che poi apprezziamo nei balletti. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
They all have such lovely turn out.
they're so elegant!
*It’s hard seeing people live out their dreams*
The studio is beautiful.
I feel untalented by watching them :(
-Onegin, polonaise. Tchaikovsky.
-ballet music class.
-Le Corsarie, coda from pas de deux.
I just understand "un, deux, trois"...
wow theyre all so perfect!! i wish i could look as good as they do
this is just beautiful. so beautiful!
ok the girl u see right in front of the camera from 1:04 until 1:44 is really good, i mean they all are, but i couldn't take my eyes off of her.she is so talented!
Wonderful! How they are learning tempo and musicality. Great teacher.
wonderful teacher a lot of passion!!

Ugh everything is so quick that you can't enjoy their amazingness
I think at 01:24 the girl is Miteki Kudo now in the POB (sujet)

Super reportage sur la danse ! Extraordinaire 👍
BEAUTIFUL!
I absolute her authority!!! That is the way to teach. Not sweet or politically correct or nice. Strong and resolute!
I am so proud to be french on that moment !
Maaan...I'm retiring
That was beautiful! :') They are great ballerinas! I hope I can become as good as they are someday!
wow they dance so beautifully!
what a beautiful studio....
Who's watching this at quarantine?😂
je les regarde avec bcp d'admiration et j'espere un jour etre aussi douée.. :)
Haha people are saying they are too thin because they are use to seeing overweight people like americans. But these girls are perfect! Nothing wrong with not being fat. Oh and yeah I agree...I'd rather see a thin dancer than a fat or muscular one.
isn't it so crazy that we use the same music as them
Le cours a lieu dans la Rotonde de l'Opéra de Paris. Il n'y a pas de miroir. Cela permet de mettre les élèves en situation de spectacle.
ohmygod. this makes my dancing look like an elephant trying to do water arobics.. :/
C'est in si beau ballet avec des ballerines tres elegants!
Beautiful
Je toujours amié ballet.
I was in Ballet one year 8 years old I hope return again.
Here style of ballet is very different but just as good😊
WHO NOTICED THAT WAS MITEKI KUDO
@OtakunoOdoriko exactly. Plus, they genetically have that kind of body. They're chosen with thin complexion so they are naturally like that, so they don't have to starve or something.
oh they are so beautiful.
J'adore le ballet à Paris
fantastic!
beautiful...
one of the girls looks like miteki kudo i think it may be!

Bellissimo!!!
I saw the Paris Opera Ballet perform Giselle at the Kennedy Center this summer. It was the first time they performed there in 10 years and Giselle and the prince were in their 40s!
They must retire when they are 42.
two words: beautiful and crazy! XD
So beutiful T_T I will never become that good, i don't even go to ballet cuz there are no ballet schools near!! I really want to dance!!
Is this documentary available on DVD somewhere?

omg we use the same music and do the same part of class to the music!
Excuse me, does anyone know any of the moves used in this video, especially when they're doing that bit across the floor? Also, the difficulty of the moves would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
CAN YOU UPLOAD THIS WHOLE PROGRAMME? I used to have it VHS and literally wore it out. Thanks.

@Malon4Ever : Elles sont en 1ère division, donc jusqu'à 18 ans. C'était l'année 1985-1986 si je ne me trompe pas.
Captain Amelia Smollet (Treasure Planet) Used to be in The Paris Opera Ballet.
@telebob normal c'est incroyablement splendide !! ;)

Can someone tell the music in this video? Je l'adore!
The ballet dance is incredibly graceful and effortless here of course.
The first piece that the pianist is playing is a Polonaise from the opera Onegin by Tchaikovsky. And when the girls do their jetes, that is from Don Quixote.
The music for the turns is from Le Corsaire.
+silver_cupcake thanks！Merci beaucoup:)

Honestly this teacher seems a lot nicer than my American ballet teachers I had. But I could be wrong
Wow.
