Embrace the boink this week yall ✌🏻✌🏻
i will trust
im currently preparing for rad grade 8 ballet but have yet to learn all those steps, It's probably in the intermediate to advanced stages where they introduce those steps, but this is so funny 🤣
😊
@@balletreign odacu još tajni ako ćete tražiti zovu se još i dansart
This feels like twosetviolin from an alternate universe
Guargouillade is like a pas de chat but you're trying to shake mud off your feet.
Some of the steps looked like, "Um. I meant to do that." And the choreographer saying, "You did? Well, do it again. It looked good." Others were like something the choreographer saw their kid doing while clowning around at home.
Embrace the boink is my new motto ✨😂
✨embrace the boink✨ 🤣🤣
I was waiting for the flick flack lol. Was in shock when it didn't appear, because these hold a very infamous place in my heart.
The flic flac is def one of those infamous steps 😅😅
Yes! Flic flac is a training step, but Christopher Wheeldon has one in one of his crazy ballets, in a super fast spot too!
Yes! I hate flick flack! It's so weird and awkward. Especially when I decide you're doing barre en pointe and the teacher randomly decides to do a combination with flick flack and I'm like "how..."
Yes!!! like, why? what is the point of the existence of it? 🤣
I actually feel like a badass horse doing the flic flac, lol.
3:13 I'm sorry, but that clip made me snort laugh each time I saw it, it just looks like a Kangaroo attempting to sneak up on someone.
HAHAHA 🤣🤣
Yessss
Once you start watching the bottom foot just boink along in the arabesque chug you can never see it the same way again😂
Some steps are hard to perform, others hard to watch.
Some choreographers hate dancers, others hate the audience.
However the general concept of the pretty girls makes us come back for more anyway. We never lose hope and are usually rewarded for our perseverance.
It is the same mixture of hope and stubbornness that keeps us every Saturday evening switching on to this channel with two charming, elegant and beautyful TALKING ballerinas of whom we only see the top half.
We hope that we next time will see them dance or next time or next time or next.......
Sometimes I - in desperation - go and watch The Royal Danish ballet just to let the steam out and thinking of what might come.
Of course not the same, but the music is usually quite good.
This made our Saturday 😅😅 your tenacity will be rewarded ✨
Here’s our bop playlist to listen to while ur waiting ruclips.net/p/PLCqQmaaIuEK8_feSiADTk3POyE46kpQZL&si=_QNmMAtmyGTK1TzM
i like the talking a lot
Most of these are vastly improved by at least one other person doing it with you. Also on my personal list of silly moves: Hops on pointe
Lolll absolutelyyy 😂😂
Agreed. I dislike doing them, even dislike watching them (the ginch foot).
Just let me say this but emBOINKtés 😂😂😂
OMIGOSHHH 🤣🤣
Gargoulliade is definitely the first one that sprung to mind when i saw the title of this video…we learnt sugar plum in a casual repetoire class and i ended up changing it to pas de chat cos i just couldn’t get it 😂😂
Loll it’s so tricky! Esp near the end of the (extremely long) variation when ur already spent 😂😂
I've never been able to understand how you even do a gargoulliade. They just baffle me so glad they are on this list
I love when they do those. You performed the spelling expertly. Lol
I think you should film a video of you guys doing all these steps. That would be fun. Like a choreographed piece. 😂 I see “ embrace the boink” merch coming on. 😂
Manic bunny hop
🤣🤣
the emboités don't look really like a ballet step but more like a French CanCan step, same for the music that accompanies it generally !
A very good observation lol 😂😂
I have to say it reminds me of the goose step seen on army parades!
This was fun! I often thought I was just too boorish when noticing that some ballet moves looked a little silly. Nice to see even the pros think so too. 😂
Ur not the only one 😅😅 thanks for watching! 🫰🏻🫰🏻
Gargouillade is gorgeous (when done gorgeously). My favorite.
It can def look very elegant and ethereal✨✨
finally found a ballet version of twoset
So it’s more so that the move is technically hard to master so learning it is the “ugly” era until you’ve mastered it. But isn’t that the case for any dance step you don’t know how to do lol.
Pas de poisson is one of my favorite steps ever! It not only looks cool but it’s soo much fun to do! I’m not even a jumper, but it just generates this awesome flight-feeling regardless.
Temps de l’ange on the other hand…..I’d never even heard of it b4 this video, but I just tried a bunch, and yeaaa it feels horrible 😂 theres no power or momentum behind it - u truly feel like a desperate fish trying not to drown.
EXACTLYYY 😂😂
actually there is a beautiful gargouillade in Balanchine's Tchaikovsky pas de deux, in the female variation !
Absolutely!! ✨✨
@@balletreign in the same ballet, there are also some tricky backward arabesques. Some dancers have a "shortcut", they made two or three of those and they turn onward and continue running through the diagonale to finish it more gracefully before the final chainés déboulés (but the original Balanchine's choreography is backward arabesques all along)😅
THANK YOU young ladies , once again BRAVA! So refreshing and professional!! Keep up the GREAT work.
Thank you for watching!! We appreciate ur kind words 🫰🏻🫰🏻
New video of Jordan and Eden, happiness in my heart :') ❤️
Such an enjoyable, knowledgeable video, girls! Lovely ❤ Well done! Brought me some very happy memories of being 7 and 8 and 9 years old ( 70 now!) and having to dance with the only boy in the class, who could NOT count! ( I was tall). Such a fantastic, special art firm! 🌺🌺
The head banging comment on the fast chug made me laugh. I guess you could do that in a rock ballet
Oh my goodness! I totally get the stuck in your head thing!
And I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have been saying “ EnGUATes” instead of “emboîtez” for my whole life 🙈
Thanks for the fun video!!!
Hate to be brutal, but the hops back in arabesque in Tchai Pas always make me laugh.
I'm a Ballet Nerd. Thank you. New subscriber. Can't wait for more. Looking up your old videos. Yay 👏
Not normally looking for "serious" in ballet. It's like body design: if it is posdible to hold the body in that way, it will have a place in ballet - the "seriousness" is just the deliberation of where and when to showcase it. Love these videos caus they break down the steps more clearly. Happy boinks and points
Ladies….I love you both bunches!!! Enjoy your programs and watch all of them with delight! However, your merchandise prices are insane!!!! Could not possible afford a coffee mug for 23.00! I wish you well though and will continue to be a devoted fan🥰🥰🥰
buying YT merch is really a gift to support (and get a lil something/token back)
The 'OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD' ear worm is hilarious HAHAHAHAHA
Considering the 'you have to stop the headbop' and how you've shown clips of the professionals doing it well.... I would absolutely love to see a video where you show us what it looks like in the (hopefully rare) event that you fail to suppress the headbop 8'D
You are just so beautiful and delightfully silly!
Thank you!! 😆😆✨✨
I don’t know what they are called, but the ones where you go on pointe then like jump up and down and land on pointe seems so unserious to me
When you dance so beautifully with your arms while you are explaining a step, it's like a mere taste. When will we see you two actually dance (with *all* of your gifts?) Or have I just missed this video somehow?
Lollll it’s coming don’t worry 😆😆
One of those videos I just found myself smiling through!
Glad you acknowledged that even these steps need love and respect :-) Have to say, though, for some of them even the most polished professionals can't always make them look serious on stage!
(But those last two examples of gargouillade looked very classy, I thought.)
I know nothing about ballet but this is so fun lol
Really enjoyed this! - one of my least favourite moves is the one in the Nutcracker pas de deux, it looks like an Italian changement but the ballerina is lifted; inevitably her tutu flicks upwards at the front and I think it just looks sooooooo inelegant! My favourite has to be the Wilis' chugs in arabesque - check out the rehearsal with the Royal Ballet corps with Samantha Raine saying, "Nearly there, ladies! nearly there!........now, let's do that again....." aaaargh!
Thanks for sharing your inelegant ballet step 😂😂. Giselle act 2 is SO hard on the corps!
Copy paste this and see if the movement looks inelegant: "Щелкунчик" (Н. Цискаридзе - А. Воронцова) 31.12.2009.
Agree with number 2!!!! Looks so ‘inelegant’. Very inelegant ghost 👻. Thank you girls 🩰🩰🩰👵🇦🇺
You two are priceless!
What is the intro music? It sounds very jolly!
Thank you very much for the video!
🙏💜🍿🩰🎼🦋⛱🌞
It’s the opener to the ballet Gaîté Parisienne! Thank you for watching today ♥️♥️
@@balletreign thanks so much!! 🙏🧡🤩
Loving your black swan/white swan coffee cup collection.
Aww thank you so much! We’re obsessed 🤩🤩
Love this! Would be cool if you utilized a little more slo-mo footage when describing the steps. :)
Will alert my ballet nerd bestie about the new merch! 🩰👍🏽
So in Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux the Chugs originally didn’t speed up, not sure when that little tweak was added but neither Violet Verdy - for whom it was created nor Patty McBride whom Mr. B loved in it sped them up. In fact how many they did 8 or 9 was dependent on where in the music they started them. Since both dancers were dancing across rather than on the beat of the music right before. The Chugs served to not only get them back upstage but to also get back on the music for the final enchainment of turns. There’s not enough time in the music to turn around and run back up stage, and running backwards is a little silly looking, so Mr. B’s solution was Chugs. Also, Violette did a gargoulliade in the variation, Patty did a pas de chat.
This is so informative. I love the “chug” part of Tchaikovsky Pas, so glad to have some background on it. And for gargouillades-watching the video of Gelsey Kirkland in Tchai Pas I wondered if her gargouillades just looked like pas de chats… now I know she was doing a legitimate alternative. Thank you!
Love the boink. Thanks, Ladies!
you guys have to react to TwoSet trying ballet!!!! and we need a collab too
Stay tuned 😉
ive probably already said this but i love hearing the french vocab being used in ballet, as well as how they r pronounced in english, especially when the terms r poetic like temps de l'ange!!
its this sort of romantic name used for a silly looking/feeling step, which makes a fun contrast
It’s surprisingly clumsy feeling for an “angel’s step” lol 😂😂
Right from seeing just the title I knew gargouilliade was gonna be on the list 😂 I remember first learning this for the starfish duet from the little humpbacked horse and our teachers just had us do pas de chats instead. A difficult but also fun step :)
Oh boy, you could sooooo do another video of this - including the grand jete sur place (joker in swan lake), turned in emboite derriere runs (also the joker), the Italian "buton" turning position, and bourree en tournant in second position (ballerina doll, or mirliton in nutcracker), and the death positions for Nikiya, Giselle and Juliette!
Ohhh good ones! Thanks for your additions 😆😆
You already had me when I saw Gargouillade on the thumbnail
I am 13 and just starting ballet! You guys have helped me learn and improve so much on my ballet history. I love y’all and thank you so much!😁🫶
Aww thank you ☺️☺️ Congrats on starting ballet! So happy you’re learning lots and enjoying the process 🥳🥳
The chugs look like me when I've lost my balance and I'm trying not to fall over.
Relatableeee 😂😂
The second one is a very beautiful step in my opinion, it always mesmerises me in Giselle… I wish I could do it properly, not so easy as it seems
You're sooo brilliant girls, I feel like a frog doing the Italian changement, plus I can't help laughing like a 6-year-old whenever I'm doing emboites, it's so hard to concentrate! Please keep creating content like this, it's so funny and original! 💞💗💞
The boink reigns.
Lol I love this!! I took my first ballet class yesterday and the only real move I know is the chain turns/steps. Any tips?? Keep up the great content! 🫰🏻🩷
Congrats on ur first class! 🥳🥳 for chaîné turns, keep your rib cage closed! It helps the core stay more stable. Good luck!! 😆😆
Oh i just realized these are my favorite steps since i have been learning ballet :)) so fun to do!!
Thanks for this video!! You made me laugh after a sad day❤❤❤
Aww 🥹🥹 Glad we could bring a smile to your face today! Keep going, hold your chin up, it’s gonna be ok. We’re cheering u on ♥️♥️
I loved this video! I definitely agree with the emboites. They are so uplifting and hype me up. Thank you. Can’t wait to ballet nerd with y’all next week! ❤❤❤
Aww so happy we could make u smile! Thanks for watching, have a lovely week! ✨✨
Garguillade is my favorite!
For me, every kind of first allegro jumps feel ridiculous. I just boing and hop around, I feel like a kangaroo 😂 maybe I just do them wrong tho 😂
I would add attitude to the side to this list. Easy to mess up, impossible to feel graceful (dog and fire hydrant ;) )
hii eden and jordan, you guys prob wont see this but you guys educated me on ballet. a lot. you're the reason why i want to start ballet soon, so thank you.
We see you! 😉😉 Thank you sm for sharing, we’re so happy you’ve found a passion for ballet! The ballet world is wide open for you and we’re cheering you on ✨✨
I love the topics you come up with!! Very entertaining and informative, and really fun!!
Thank you, we’re glad you enjoyed the video! 😆😆✨✨
Love watching you guys! ❤
I would love to see a video of the 5 hardest times you have to suppress the head bop on stage. Or had to suppress your inner smile or suppress your inner jam while on stage.
I would love to see your take on this.
(I’m not a ballerina but watch all your videos. So I’m totally a baller nerd😅♥️…plus a fellow Texan🎉)
Oh gosh this would be a funny vid lol 😂😂 thanks for watching and ballet nerding with us! 🫰🏻🫰🏻
100% on the italian changements on women!!! The one that makes me giggle the most is when they happen in Raymonda Henriette Act 3 variation (you can see it in the POB and Royal Ballet productions, but not the Russian companies). Just - why?!
Garguillade= pas de spaz
Italian changemant= frog jump
You guys definitely forgot flick flack. I don't think anyone knows why that exists.
Was trying to do the steps while watching the video. Let's just say what happens in my living room when I'm alone stays in my living room when I'm alone and is to never be seen by my ballet teacher.😅😂
Emboîtés look like you're kicking a ball
Especially with regard to the gargouillade I would suggest that a better term would be non-cost- effective--difficult to perform with a result that doesn't really justify the effort.
That’s it precisely 😅😅
I remember a choreography where I had to do like 16 italian changements in a row and let me tell you that was a nightmare
I love the first and last steps because I have found how to make them look beautiful and elegant in tchkofskys pa de du
At first I thought you were saying "pas de croissant"!
I am trying to figure out if Ms. Mojo would call this video "Most elegant and beautiful ballet moves" or "Most Silly Ballet moves" and then include the most basic steps.
no love for my beloved gargouillade.... its so joyful and delicate! xD
😂 I propose that "gargouillade" (which is a mouthful anyway) be renamed "pas de chat mouille"*. (Pretend the final e has an accent aigu, my phone can't do those).
*Literally: wet cat step.
This isn’t related to the video what so ever but I think it would be really fun for y’all to do a stereotype video on different type of students🩰
Yay! I’m so excited, this is the best part of the week :)
Yeeee we’ll see u soon! 😆😆
@@balletreign YAYY :D
me saying gargouillade right before you said it 🤣
LOLL 🤣🤣
5:10 that step was my nemesis when I first started ballet lol. I started in high school and the teacher would have us do that step towards the door at the end of class sometimes. Where there were always dancers from the next class peeking in. I felt SO dumb
Have a good week with many boinks ✨🤠
You too!! Embrace the boink ✨✨
Yall are awesome :)
Imagine a time when it was shocking to see just an ankle on a woman. This is the route of ballet. A woman’s ankle was thought to be very attractive if the ankle and foot were “well turned out.” The purpose of turn out was to better to reveal the foot to viewers. The steps’ origins were in the court dances of France.
I think it’s hilarious that you compare the temps de l’ange to feeling like a fish, and then say that a better alternative is the “pas de poisson,” which literally translates to “step of fish” 😂😂😂😂
My top silly step, as a student a long time ago, was the italian pas de chat! 🙈 I took a bit to get the hang of it. The very first time was challenging for everyone, we cracked up 😂, but after a while, it felt really cool.
When I watched Giselle for the first time, the temps de l'ange part really took me out because even though the ballerina was easily one of the best of all time, it still looked kind of like she was... uh sorry to put it this way but... humping her way forward? I don't think there's any other way of making that step look
I had Italian changement in a dance. I was a jester, so... 😂
Okayyyy in that context it’s actually quite fitting 😂😂
many kisses from Italy😘👋
And to you from Texas! 🫰🏻🫰🏻
That Temps de l'ange in GISELLE always looks heavy to me (a non-dancer) - like NOT the movement of a Spirit.
Aha,a u Hrvatskoj vam postoji udruga"Od 5 do 85"ili kako sami sebe zovu nema predaje ili bolje rečeno "Do posljednjeg daha". Potiču djecu ,mlade ljude na rekreaciju kroz ples.Tu ima bivših plesača,onih koji još uvijek plešu pa drugi.To drži klasični balet ,suvremeni ples,jazz dance,burlesku i mnoge druge plesne discipline.Moju 58 godina staru prijateljicu sam podučila osnovama klasičnog baleta i počela je vježbati sa mnom radi kondicije .Ja imam 62 godine i još se držim šipke a burlesku obožavam.Inace ,bilo koja umjetnička plesna disciplina bez osnova klasičnog baleta ne ide...
1st🎉 can't wait to watch😅😊 love your vids❤❤
Aww thank you!! Can’t wait to see u! 😆😆
Need a t-shirt: Emboite - Embrace the boink!
We SO need to 😂😂
boink boink boinkity boink!
Omg I love doing emboîtés, I actually did some in class the other day. Also I absolutely hate doing gargouillades, I actually used to call them gargoyles (still sometimes do lol).
Gargoyles lollll 😅😅 emboîté is great for connecting to that beat! ✌🏻✌🏻
@@balletreign they are so fun especially if it's a bopping music, and yes gargoyles 😂😂😂!!!
The word gargoyle is derived from the word gargouillade. I looked it up one day!
Italian changement is my least favorite ballet step. I don’t have the turn out to make them look good.
I love that! Embrace the boink!
I always thought the step sequence at 1:07 in this Giselle variation looked strange too.
m.ruclips.net/video/GoG5izkLe-Y/видео.html&pp=ygUZZ2lzZWxsZSBhY3Qgb25lIHZhcmlhdGlvbg%3D%3D
It looks less like an elegant step and more like something you would do to condition your legs for demanding steps. (Or something a Soviet dragon ballet mistress would make her students do as punishment multiple times to punish them for fooling around in class!)
❤😂❤
3rd!! I literally love you guys so much❤❤ i really hope you guys see this or maybe reply!😊❤
Aww thank you, feeling the love from Dallas ❤️ we’re happy to see you! 😆
What about flicflac
Can you do ballet at 13?
