- How does ballet convey narrative, emotion, and character? Dive into “The Sleeping Beauty” to see how a ballet creates its essential elements.
--
A baby cursed at birth. A fierce battle of good and evil. A true love awoken with a kiss. Since premiering in 1890, “The Sleeping Beauty” has become one of the most frequently staged ballets in history. So what makes this piece so beloved? And what exactly does ballet bring to this- or any other- story? Ming Luke shares what makes ballet the perfect medium for stories old and new.

The animation would be so painful to draw with all these ballet movements, respects to the animator 👀
「 Heaphilian 」 now think about every video they make for us. Now that’s dedication.
Can we all just appreciate how well the animator made this piece of art
I can't imagine how difficult that must've been
Incredibly fluid and beautifully composed. It's honestly breathtaking how gorgeous the animation is.
sorry but as a dancer it doesn’t replicate what ballet looks like at all :/
Jayne Romero Awww, a hand drawn 24fps animation doesn’t perfectly match the form of highly trained dancers? Such a travesty let us disregard how well drawn and beautifully animated it is just because of that.
@@insaynejayne lol it's not supposed to be perfect. It was well-animated and im saying it as a former BBA summer-intensive trainee. get off your high horse sis
Me: *tries to dance ballet
My feet: So you have chosen death .
so you have chosen death* is the real meme
@@J11_boohoo My bad (• ▽ •;)
@@scarlettassassinator6192 I just wanted to say hopefully so you can change it
HAHAHA
@@J11_boohoo thanks for the correction. And sorry for not fixing it earlier :-P
And when you stopped dancing.. your feet hurts 😭
THEY DUD THE CORRECT CHOREO FOR THE SCENES THEY WERE TALKUNG ABOUT !!! usually ballet animations just have them leap and twirl around the stage but this was accurate!
right??
I love this
Yes.
Ballet: when music, drama and dancers’ toes, all converge into a single *point*
Mafia C_ Sirius Lupin I finally found the earliest comment!
Yes, their toes
🥀
Pointe* lololol

My feet: *_I'm gonna have to stop you right there!_*
My feet: We don't do that here.
you copied some one
@@kass_09 Sorry for the late reply, may I ask who?
Copie
You copied Scarlett Assasinator
I love how the narration and animation portrayed the difficulty and beauty of ballet. Often times it’s put off as easy or sometimes mocked, but you guys showed off the beauty in an amazing way!❤️
So ballet is just sign language but dance?
Not just. Also.
Helgali This
Maybe more like sign language of music?
Thang Trinh wtf
@@thangtrinh5602 whats wrong with you, dude?
Can we just talk about how beautiful this video is animated? Wow
Carlos DelaCruz some of the animations gave me anxiety
I love ballet. When I was first getting into Tchaikovsky, I used to listen to the music and enjoy it of course, but I was very curious to see the dances that went along with them. I started watching Swan Lake one night with no intent to watch the entire ballet but I was so entranced I watched it all. Ballet is so beautiful and expressive.
Couldn't agree more 💖💖
And not just ballet but dance in general is powerful💝 you don't speak but your still able to make people feel emotion is incredible
Ballet: The art of breaking shoes feet and imaginations
It would be so cool if you had a playlist of traditional dances from around the world (sort of like how you have a playlist of myths around the world)!
i know right
yes please!!
My Polish grandmother used to perform for a ballet company...
It was always awkward listening to her Pole Dancing stories.
Sebastian Elytron 😂wait wha-
Ted-ed is a mind reader! I was just watching a ton of ballet videos 😂
i was in the middle of practicing ballet
Same :D
Me too literally right now.
Same with aphids and waps videos uploaded recently, i was explaining how wasp clear the garden eating the aphids, and then Ted-ed releases 2 videos about it xD
Same😄
Me as a dancer being stressed by the animations
I just looked back at dis o-o I did not expect dis many likes but thanks •>•
same
Stressed?? Why?
I'm gonna make a wild guess here. You're a ballet dancer.
Those animated arms hurt my eyes
her attitude is worse than mine and that is a feat
I'm impressed by the smoothness in the animations
Good thing about quarantine is that I'm awake at 1am to see all my favourite channels upload brand new videos
The animation is on point in this one, would love to see an animated ballet!
imagine the possibilities
It's only a few minutes, but I recommend Nephtali, a collaboration between the Paris Opera and Glen Keane. You can find it here on RUclips :)
"see the music, hear the dance" - Balanchine
What is the point(e) of Ballet?
I don't know, maybe to flex on all non-ellegant people?
Ethan Troy De Los Santos Oof
@@MC_lupin OOF.
I'm an amateur. And I did ballet for six years. But whenever I see the more elegant professionals... Yeah, they're all flexing on me.
Quite literally in this case
I now wanna watch a ballet. I swear I was never interested in my life until this point in it.
Also, if I could watch an animated ballet in that art style, that'd be great:>
There are a ton of ballets available on youtube, and if you dont have 2 hours to watch a full one, there are dozens and dozens of 3-4 minute videos of variations (single pieces) also available! The royal opera house puts out a lot from swan lake/ sleeping beauty and they're all so beautiful
The pun on the title alone convinced me to watch this.
This makes me think about the argument I had with one of my close dancer friends about whether or not dance was a sport..... Good times, good times.
I guess all dancer atleast have that one conversation huh? Because me too 😂
Celia The Ravenclaw there's no way it's a sport. A sport has to be a game with an objective and a chance of failure or loss
@Lachlan 420_ that was my side of the argument. It ended with a different younger friend insisting that chess was also a sport, to which the table erupted in gales of unquenchable laughter, mostly mine.
@@LO-qs3sp Ballet has competition too. Just like sports. But ballet don't fight against each other at the same time at the same spot. They take turns, then dance on the stage while being judged
@@LO-qs3sp Ballet has an objective, that is to carefully yet swiftly performed each movement using strength and balance. There is a chance of failing an completely throwing the show. As you would throw a football to someone and they fumble. A ballerina could be carried by someone and they let go making them both fall
Okay, so I know everyone's complimenting the animation, but, let me just say, that echape needs some serious knee straightening . . . Also, that "x" thing? That's mime. You can have conversations in ballet using mime. A scene that captures mime? In Giselle where Albrecht and his adviser talk about maybe not going to Giselle's house (we all know how that turned out).
Sapphire Elkins THANK YOU FOR POINTING IT OUT
the most delicate art form
and the most damaging to human body
PotatoSmasher Not if you look after your body. Train smarter not harder from the beginning.
Animating
@@RockyScience i agree if your in pain don't try to dance through it stop and take a break. And you can also do exercises to strengthen your body so you aren't in danger of career ending injuries
The point is: To break your body.
stop telling to break your body
and your mind.
If you want to make the most amount of pain in your feet, dance ballet!!
I wouldn’t put it that way, to me it’s more like “to bend your body to its extremes, almost to the point of breaking it, but never doing so.
@@therhythmictale5574 I was young when I was forced into doing ballet.
Needless to say, it sucked the life out of me. I dropped out as soon as possible
The accuracy of the choreography of the animation was very satisfying
What's the point of ballet? Hmmm. Might as well ask: What's the point of art in general?
Nothing!
Literally nothing!
I never get peoples' obsession with art. For example, some artist sold a banana stuck to a wall with duct tape for $120k!
Waste of time and money :definition of art
@Gang Wu Agreed.
@Gang Wu Okay, let me rephrase the question: What is life? Why am I here? Just why?????? I didn't ask for this! Just why!?!?!?!?!??!?
Everything is art. For example, buildings are art, your device is art, youtube is art.
The animation is beautiful at showing the beauty of ballet. This is a great video! :)
Hope everyone at TedEd stays safe and healthy ❤️
The animation is always so beautiful.
Did anyone see the metaphorphosis by Kafka by the royal opera house. It was amazing
can we just take a sec to appreciate HOW WELL THIS WAS ANIMATED
the animation for this lesson is crazy good
I got so excited when I clicked on this video. People don’t get how excited dancers get when we are actually appreciated, or when people want to learn about what we do
Just saw Sleeping beauty on Bolshoi Teatr's channel a few weeks ago. Awesome ballet and great video, Ted!
ballet is something that connects a person from music it's vibration and body express it ...and it's really beautiful!! When u feel and express the music💜
Such a gorgeous style of dance 💖
Tamara Rojo's Rose Adage is incredible
Been binging Ted Ed videos since quarantine, thanks for keeping up with more content during these times!
Shout outs to the animators.
Ballet is not that easy. You have to deliver each move with grace and elegance.
You guys have the best animation story ever the number 1 story channel for kids ever👆🏻
This high end art is out of reach for now, but as soon as I become a "snobby" aristocrat, I will be attending lots of opera and ballet shows.
There are lots of free recordings on RUclips :)
@@heyryanisonx3141 wasgoung to say same LIVE would be amazing!
You don't need to attend the theatre to watch a good ballet show! There are countless recordings available on youtube. If you're new to ballet, I recommend you try Don Quixote. It's a fun, energetic ballet full of Spanish influence that's bound to cheer you up, if you aren't fond of the overly dramatic and long ballets such as sleeping beauty.
Thanks for suggestions guys
@@alassante yes, exactly! There are so many ballets that aren't the stereotypical pink sugary frills (like the Nutcracker or Sleeping Beauty, though I enjoy those too) that are often glossed over. I mean, the Mayerling is about a drug-addicted prince and his suicide pact with his mistress, Anastasia is about Anna Anderson's time in a mental institution, and that's not to mention adaptations from books like Frankenstein, 1984, The Winter's Tale...
Such a beautiful art form that takes incredible discipline! Princess 👸🏽
Here comes a video from my favourite teachers again!!!!
Props to the animation team
You're animations are getting more vivid, appreciate it. Keep it up.
I’d love to know more about the history & “rules” of ballet
Oh wow, what a great Birthday Present! One day after my birthday this was uploaded.... anyone else here after watching The Australian Ballet's At Home Season's upload of David McAllister's "The Sleeping Beauty"?
1:01 So glad the notation's correct and not just random aesthetics. Kudos to the animator!
i love how this video ultimately came down to the real purpose to of ballet is to tell stories. and that is just beautiful.
TED-Ed Amazing animation, I know that this episode would have taken a long time to fully finish this episode
I love the pun/wordplay the most lol
2:24 I would be that one ballerina to be out of sync.
Julianne Vogt lol I’m a ballerina and we’re doing that variation (that’s the ballet way of saying that dance) now and I’m that one person looking the wrong way
me: yes I like ballet
ballet: you like PAIN?
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the animations and overall the quality of this video?
me: *tries doing ballet*
mom: *from the other room* who's making popcorn?
The animation!!!
I not only 💓 ballet, but I've recently begun the reviewing the SF Ballet officially. It is truly a thing to behlod live.
"The art form is always experimenting with centuries-old set of rules, making it the perfect medium for stories old and new." ♥♥♥
The animation is wonderful 🥺 it captures classical ballet so well
Others: Ballets gracefully
Me: Chicken having seizures
Really, really well done, Ted-Ed. Accurate choreography in the animation and a message that conveys the diversity of this art form. Hoping you'll explore some modern dance, too, in future videos!
I love how you TED have videos for and about dancers/dance. Thank u
Oh that video got me so excited!! This is such good educational, entertaining and visually pleasing content. Thank you!! Also the illustrations remind me a bit of Matisse's "La Danse". They have the same dynamic and emotion but matching to that wonderful piece from tschaikowsky.
If you think ballet is a sport please like. If you dont, please explain in the comments. I dance, and I think it is a sport, but please tell me if you disagree.
One could say it's an elegant combination of sports and art.
ballet definitely requires atheism. i just think its more of an art than a sport.
I think it’s an art that requires the same or similar determination and commitment that a lot of athletes have. Why do you think it’s a sport? I’m curious.
Nv Loz you know, while i disagree with the fact that it is a sport, I want to thank you. You gave a very good reason. People have told me the following, dance is not a sport because it is easy. Or that dance is something anyone can be amazing at, so it is not a sport.
The definition if sport is a competitive physical activity. Ballet can be competitive.
You could also play soccer non competitively, and it would still be a sport.
I know this is long, but I think It does an ok job at explaining.
EKKK thank you ted ed ballet has been canceled (i have to try and do it at home) and this makes me happy!!
Once again the animation is breathtaking
This animator deserves so much love, my god
These graphics and animations... soo good and well done. Impressive o_o
What is the pointe of ballet? Ladies and gentlemen let me elaborate
1. It is one of the product of marriage between ART and SPORT (the other product? Other dance genre of course)
2. If you are telling dancers that dance is not a sport, or in this case Ballet. Try walking on this shoes called Pointe, on your tippy toes, and tell us if your legs doesn't feel like cramping and your toe nails doesn't feel like falling off.
3. Just like reading, you can escape and experience variation of stories. You can be a marionette, a swan, a princess, a witch, a queen, a fairy, a soldier, and so many more.
4. Ballet can be enjoyed by many people. From early age such as 5 year old even until you are old
At least there are those. There are ups and downs, but ballet will always be one of the best part of my life 💛
After watching 'The Game Plan' as a kid, I have never not appreciated ballet ever again. Every time I watch a rehersal vid I'm legit amazed at their stamina in doing all those leg moves for hours >~< #respect
@@humixmusic4lyf thank you. It requires a lot of stamina indeed. Sometimes my legs shake after using pointe for too long 😂
This came in my English Language and Literature IB MYP eAssessment Examination yesterday
Same
same
@@th13year35 how was it?
yo the animation for this so on point(e) ^3^ and I love this narrator, glad they used his voice for this clip.
*_uprated. simply, uprated._** brilliant video, ballet is the best :-)*
i wrote an essay almost exactly like this’d couple of years ago!! it’s like seeing my essay come to life with animations
Me: reads the title with point(e)
Also me: has 8th grade french PTSD
The animation of this was godlike. Congratulation to all the team, you're awesome!
My favorite ted ed video. As a ballerina its so cool to see a whole video dedicated to ballet
Well I just realized I need to learn to speak ballet if I really want to avoid missing out on such a sophisticated form of communication.
1am trying to beat a deadline
TedED : what's the point of ballet?
Me: Well, I was never going to meet the deadline anyway
I've been a training ballerina for 13+ years and i can say that this this video doesn't explain how hard ballet really is not to mention that a very very small amount of dancers make it professionally
Absolutely LOVE the animation here 😍
the elegance of the animation!
The animation is so amazing
I saw the title and went OMFG YAY THANK YOU OMG OMG YAY YAY YAY WHOO!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love your videos, they always make my day! ❤️ Thank you for doing this!
The animation is so beautiful woah...
this kinda makes me want to go watch a ballet performance
You should, well after this pandemic is over... the first ballet i saw was swan lake it's beautiful and emotional at the same time definitely reccomend that 💛but you can watch any ballet you choose
Thank you ☺️❤️
TED ED really knows how to animate
Every video they do the animation would be lovely ❤❤❤❤
Fun tip for drawing!: Draw ballerinas to help with drawing bodies. The practice of conveying movement and grace while trying to get the body proportions correct will help you draw better people over time!
ISTRUISSATRUEE!!😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In the midst of pandemic, this chanel redefines beauty, knowledge and peace.
Thank you, i just saw sleepin beauty ballet and this clarify more on the story.
Ur voice is so relaxing 😍😊😊
I was wrong thinking this video will tell "what is the point(purpose) of ballet".😂 But then again in these difficult times of coronavirus you try to question the necessity of everything.
Hats off to the animators 👏👏👏 They've certainly outdone themselves here!
Watching this video makes my legs cramp
This was enlightening.
Thank you for this lovely film
Fun facf: maleficent is usually played by an older dancer whos strength is giving out notice that her moves are less difficult and sometimes she may not even go up en Pointe too often
