- Today we are taking u through the most underrated wedding pas de deux in ballet repertoire; the wedding pas de deux from the 3rd act of Coppélia. We'll be talking about the setting, lighting, subtleties in the choreography, and Léo Delibes iconic music, and how together they create what is, in our humble opinion, the finest first dance in all of ballet.

Please don’t apologise for again featuring the Royal Ballet. I could happily watch them perform anything and everything, especially Nela and Vadim. Did you spot that Alexander Campbell retired last night after performing Manon? Another wonderful RB dancer.
Haha thank u! 🤣🤣
yes we heard!! He’s such a fabulous dancer and such a beautiful career. Excited for him and this next chapter!✨✨
I will miss watching Alexander Campbell dance....
Oh sad day! I’ll miss seeing him on RB video. He seems such a delightful person. I can see him being a candidate for director of RB, if his performance as spokesman on the videos is backed up by other necessary qualities.
Oh bummer. He’s an Aussie & I never got to see him dance.
If I were Marianela Nunez or Vadim Muntagirov, I would be "YES ! someone recognize all the effort I put in this pas de deux !!"
Aww 🥰🥰 thank you sm, we hope they know how special they are ✨
Just saw Marianela and Vadim on Wednesday opening Swan Lake and exquisite is exactly the right word and they only seem to be getting better and better! Never apologise for using their videos, I could happy watch them every day!
This pdd is so beautiful and feels like an open dialogue almost. It's genuine, not rushed, you can feel the affection (both in music and through dancer's performance) yet it's gentle and light. Thank you for opening this one for me, really enjoyed it! Marianela and Vadim are both phenomenal dancers, amazed every time.
Re: Suggestions for overlooked pas de deux: Kenneth MacMillan's Manon!! There's at least one outstanding pdd in every act, but my personal favourite is Manon and de Grieux's first pdd in Act 1!
The bedroom pas de deux? I love it! It's so romantic...
I also prefer the bedroom pdd, I think it is my absolute favourite!
I was thinking specifically of the shorter pdd before that one (after Manon and De Grieux meet for the first time.) The bedroom pas de deux is excellent too, though! @@balletfanatic
Marianela and Vadim are my favorite. They are just so lovely to watch😍
They’re mine too!
I love watching you guys fawn over marianela 🤭 she makes everything look so easy istg… while she’s casually defying the laws of physics 🤨respect🫡🫡
lol how can we not 😂😂 Major respect to both! ✨✨
Gorgeous couple, the difficulty but making it look effortless is stunning. Royal Ballet is my favorite. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! They were absolutely beautiful together in this piece ❤️❤️
They did an EXQUISITE job indeed
✨✨✨✨
I’m always happy to see the RB in any video. Marianela and Vadim are my favourite couple so please don’t apologise for using them. Thank you for the video, it really helped my understanding of the pas-de-deux. I don’t have suggestions for pieces but I’d love to hear your commentary on some of the new(ish) young principals at the Royal ballet. Marcelino Sambé and Myara Magri for example. Do you think they have the potential to become the next ‘Vadim and Marianela’?
lol thank you, glad you enjoy watching them too! Thanks for your request, there are some BEAUTIFUL young principals we could def feature. ✨✨✨
I was hoping you would choose Vadim and Marianela, and you didn't disappoint. That face! As you observe, their eye contact is beautiful. I Also love how, without breaking character, she often has an expression in her face that seems to say "I just LOVE the next step I'm going to do!"
Underrated PDD: Titania and Bottom (wearing an ass's head) in Balanchine's Midsummer Night's Dream, which is coming up here in San Francisco. And Natalia Osipova is coming as a guest for Swan Lake later on. Woo-hoo!
I've watched this pdd sooo many times. Honestly cannot get enough of Nela and Vadim. Thanks for making this. It's not really underrated but would love to see Nikiya and Solor's shades pdd.
Thanks for watching! We LOVE that pdd, will def have to do a video on it ✨✨
I don’t believe I’ve heard this music before, and it’s exquisite, also! Thank-you.
The music is a dream ✨ thanks for watching!!
The viola solo of this pas de deux makes me want to swtich from violin to viola. Delibes is insanely good at making dreamy, glittery, magical melodies. Simply gorgeous, immense yet personal, vulnerable in the most beautiful and valuable way possible. And gee does Marianela and Vadim make the steps and the music that much justice, otherwordly performance T-T❤
I love how you guys scream for the aesthetic of perfect parts 🤩😆 coppelia is such a great ballet, I love it 💕
lol there were so many beautiful moments! The whole ballet is so good ✨🫰🏻🫰🏻
I’ve arranged a whole trip to London from where I live in Scotland around Nela and Vadim being in Swan Lake together. Waited until the cast sheet was out and then booked my trip and got my tickets. I’d happily watch them in every single one of your videos!
I almost did this for Don Quixote last October…from the States! Nixed because of $$. Hope neither retires before next season, because $$ be da***d, I’m gonna see Vadim and Nela live!
Eden charisma is so great, she is a star, Jordan is cool too
Thanks girls; it HAS educated me a lot watching that and I’ll look on more carefully at the ‘quieter’ performances. You are both turning me into a ballet nerd. 😅😅😅
Loved this. Who couldn't love Marianela and Vadim? I really enjoy your videos and hearing your insights. Thank you.
So happy you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching ✨🫰🏻
While I appreciate the reasoning, as a lighting designer I am wincing at there being so little light on the scenery and the dancers at the edges!! 😉😉😉
Haha!! 🤣🤣
Hiii! This is unrelated to the video but I have a video suggestion! I was recently rewatching one of your older videos where you compared the two different Black Swan variations. It got me thinking that there are also two different Cupid variations, the one we all know in the full length ballet but also the Cuban Cupid variation which I've only seen performed at competions (my personal favorite tbh). I can't find any backstory of how this variation came about so I was wondering if you could make a video on comparing the two?
Much love from Amsterdam! 🇳🇱
Thanks for ur request! We will def consider for a future video 👍🏻👍🏻✨✨
This was truly exquisite! Thank you both for breaking down the steps. Love, love, love watching Marienela & Vadim!! The Royal Ballet has always been my favorite. The first live performance of a professional ballet company I attended was The Sleeping Beauty performed by none other than The Royal Ballet! I just subscribed to The Royal Opera House streaming service and I hope this performance is available. Again many thanks!!!
Thank you thank you thank you! The editing on your videos makes them so wonderful and easy to watch and follow the excellent commentary, and seeing Vadim and Marianela dance together is good for all of our health.
Oh How much I loved this commentary! Discovered so many new details! I agree with everything you two pointed out and would like to share a few more elements that spoke to me.
The way Vadim offers her his hand: I chose you!
Their synchronicity: I forgive you. We are in this together, this is our journey. No remorse, no regret, no resentment.
The characters are proud of themselves, sharing their successful journey as a couple.
The way Nela rests her head on Vadim's shoulder after the Rond de jambe: I trust you!
The last lift, looking in opposite direction, one up, one down: We may have our differences, our love for each other only grew stronger. This is us!
Thank you so much for bringing this Pas de deux into the spotlight. I will watch again with a new and refreshed appreciation :)
I love Coppelia, easy top 5 favorite ballets, so I'm so happy to see my favorite, ageless ethereal beings talk about this beautiful conclusion to the ballet and the beautiful Pdd : ) If I danced this beautiful pdd with someone and we had that much on stage chemistry, I'd have to ask "What are we" after 😅
“What are we” lol 😂😂 thanks sm for watching, so happy u enjoyed our commentary!
ageless? ahahaha. say that when they're 50 or so (and looking like 30-somethings)
@@oxoelfoxo They'll always look like they're in their early 20s. Ageless beauty that never shows aging lmao
Very intimate dance. Lovely! Thank you for pointing out the finer points!!
I love your program very much. Following dance for years, its great to find your fresh approach. Bravo from California !
A copppelliiaaa videoooo!!!!
Hehehe we knew you’d be excited 😆😆hope you enjoyed it!
It is my DREAM to do a wedding pdd at my future wedding and this would be the one to do! 😂
I haven’t watched a lot of ballet, so I don’t know what I’m looking at on the rare occasions when I do see it, so I appreciate you breaking down the steps and the details that show how special this performance is. However, by watching so closely, I can also see how much strength they need to pull off the movements. When he is walking her around in a circle, the tension between their arms is enormous. And at the beginning of the pdd, I saw her leg wobble, just for a moment. Somehow, I don’t think of these incredible athletes as having any weaknesses. 🤷♀️😄
Her costume is very beautiful.😍
Thank you for the video girls! I love hearing your perspectives! I love the energy you guys have
Thank you thank you! 😆😆
Loved this video! One of my favorite underrated pieces is the 4 Little Swans pas de quatre from Swan Lake. It mesmerizes me every time! The exact synchronization of head, gaze, arms, legs, feet. No one makes a mistake and it is just breathtaking to me. I'd love to see you do a video on that. You both bring me such joy! Finally someone understands fangirling on ballet!
I just did a little investigation on you two and boy!!! AM I IMPRESSED! I thought you were just 2 friends who loved ballet. I had NO IDEA you ran your own academy. The smiles on those little girls faces in their little tutus... it melted me. I LOVE your channel. IT'S EVERYTHING! What i was originally looking for was to see if there were any videos of one, two or the both of you, dancing. Ok, that's all. Thank you for making classical music 🎶"Bopp-able". (I loved that video). Carry in Darlings. Break a legI!😂...(we say that in that in theater. Do you use that term in ballet).
Finally getting to it. I actually have watched act 3 the least out of all the ballet, because I watched Act 1 particularly, and a bit of act 2 over and over again.
Also it's strange seeing Nela as Swanhilda and Vadim as Franz, as my go to is a different Royal Ballet recording with Leanne Benjamin and Carlos Acosta. Actually, Nela is in the corps in that one. Even I didn't appreciate it enough. This was INCREDIBLE. Thank god we're going back to me being on Central because of daylights savings and it will be easier to watch live.
Though I've moved it a bit further back in my plans, someday I want to write a Sci-Fi retelling of Coppelia.
Hey. This looks amazing. Could I ask when this video is being uploaded please ?
Hi, we’d love to have you join us 😊 It will be premiering tomorrow @ 12 PM (CST)
@@balletreign Many thanks 🙏
Ahhh, you are touching many of my fav points of... ever. As in.. there is nothing more beautiful than an arabesque. As you said... 90 degrees. Was completely disarmed during adagio in class, and ladies would arrive at an arabesque and I was done for.. would become mesmerized and admit would fall in a little bit of love in the moment. Still do. Is there anything more beautiful that a breathtaking arabesque? I think not.
I absolutely love this pas!! It’s so pretty
This was BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤ I think in general the 3rd act of Coppelia is sooooo slept on there’s so much beauty in everything happening but no seems to recognize it!! It would be so much fun to have a deep analysis of act 3
We def need to analyze the full ballet! It’s so good and so fun 😆😆✨✨
Magnificent. It's Art. Love this! Thanks so much, Ladies!
PS, just finished watching an amazing pdd
broadcast in 1973, Edward Villella and Australian Prima Ballerina Lucette Aldous, on the Carol Burnett "Australian Show", Season 7, Episode 11. Carol joined them in a wonderful parody of Swan Lake, as well.
Please watch when you can. Thanks!
I’m going to my first ballet in over twenty years this Friday thanks to you ladies. Your explanations of Swan Lake and other ballets made the dancing seem so much more accessible, so I’m taking my husband on a date to see The Picture of Dorian Gray. We’ve both read the novel, which I think will help too. But I just wanted to give credit where it’s due-I probably never would’ve dared to think it would hold my interest without your videos!
ooh, come back here and tell us how you liked/disliked it afterwards pls!
@@oxoelfoxothanks for asking-it was so good! There was a surprising amount of contemporary dance to it. It had a cabaret/burlesque theme-the women were all in corsets and patterned black tights and the men were in vests, and they leaned hard into the seductive and queer elements of the novel. Definitely an adult themed production, lol, but a really fascinating take on the book. I’ve watched enough of channels like Ballet Reign and enough Royal Ballet shows now that some of the dancing seemed a little amateurish in comparison (the choreography was great, and some of the lifts and men’s jumps were fantastic-it just didn’t have as much of the impressive technique stuff from the women that I was hoping to see), but I live in a small city, so it’s not a big or well-funded company, so it’s probably expected. They did a fantastic job with what they’ve got. I loved the whole experience, and so did my husband, and we’re definitely going again! 😊
oh, awesome. happy you and the H had a great time. hope you'll love the next one just as much@@miriam8376
Thanks for analysis and for pointing out details that I wouldn't catch.
Ah yes, this is my very favourite pas de deux - always and always. I love Swanhilda and Franz has characters and this dance is just so mesmerisingly beautiful, thank you so much for validating my feelings on it. ❤❤❤❤❤
I just found out today that my studio is going to see the Kyiv ballet performing Giselle in a couple months! Even better, we’ll have the chance to take a class with them, watch rehearsals, and meet them back stage after the performance 😮 having this opportunity as a student is just so exciting, and even though it isn’t related to this video whatsoever I was just too excited not to share. ❤🥳
nice to have something wonderful to anticipate!
I was not able to watch Ballet Reign last week, and have beem restless and irrritable the whole week. Now at last I can sleep and I am not growling at the dogs any more. That is what addiction can do to a human being.
This made us laugh 😂😂 Guess there are worse things to be addicted to 😆😆
Great show. No one will fault you for featuring the Royal Ballet when they put on a performance like that one.
As far as favorite underrated pas de deuxs ... I've always liked this one from "Shurale"
ruclips.net/video/XN_qU_ekvDM/видео.htmlm0s
Haha thanks! We love RB. Thanks for sharing your underrated pdd! ✨👍🏻
For someone like me who wishes she knew so much more about ballet than she does, your channel is a GOLDMINE.
I ask myself, "Why don't I watch MORE Ballet Reign???" And then I answer myself, "Because when I do, I want to make sure I'm seriously watching and can take it all in! And with two babies, that's very hard to do." Bless you, girls.
just watch and rewatch and eventually you'll take all of each video in :) and help them with all the watch hours logged haha
Beautiful PDD and brilliant commentary, J & E! Keep this going, please!!
Thank you so much!! We can’t wait for more ballet nerding in the near future 😆😆🫰🏻🫰🏻
That really was beautiful! Thanks for your commentary.
Thank u sm! ✨😄😄
Please now do the Solor/Gamzatti wedding pdd as the contrast to this one: a loveless match with jealousy and murder thrown in the mix (and of course, you must also use the Royal Ballet version with Nela. She is unrivalled as Gamzatti)
could u do a commentary on the coulante fleur de farine variation (or as my class calls it a “fairyation” 😆 from sleeping beauty? (i like the bolshoi version best) or the “Marie-Agnès Gillot e José
Martinez - Coda do Grand Pas
Classique” (that’s the exact video title)? my class is using this for our spring show dance and i wanted to see what y’all thought abt it! thx and i love ur channel ssssmmmmmm ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, most enjoyable!! BTW pre spring weather here in the UK, any thoughts on an appropriate commentary to celebrate it's arrival?🤔❤
Thanks for watching! We def have some more commentaries lined up for spring 🌸
Loved this and you guys!❤ I love this pas de deux and it also makes me think of the wedding pas from la fille mal gardee (especially the version with Nela and Carlos Acosta, obviously 😂). As much as the big showpieces are incredible to watch, these type are often so much more moving and meaningful 🥰
Every pas de deux should give dogs looking lovingly at their owners vibes like this no I will not be taking any constructive criticism
Feature the National Ballet of Canada!
didn't you do a Coppelia summary in an older video? trying to find it but it doesn't seem to come up in search
I can't imagine this danced more beautifully. Question: Many pas de deux have iconic choreography that everyone seems to do the same; I have seen Coppelia with more variations however. Is this version recognized as the definitive final version? Whose choreography is it?
A 1990 production of Coppelia by the Aus Ballet featured this pas de deux and the choreographer was listed as Marius Petipa, however Enrico Cecchetti is commonly listed as a revisionist of the original choreography by Arthur Saint-Léon. I would most likely think Cecchetti is responsible for this particular piece.
Please stop saying "pas dahdah"😢
If you were listening carefully...they pronounced pas de deux correctly (pah der der phonetically). No dahdah anywhere.
having a perfect French accent is easier when you are French (like me) : pas de deux ! don't be too strict, it is already a miracle that ballet's vocabulary is still in french ......
how dya say it then "pah duh doo" "pah duh dew"?
Or maybe pah dee deedle deeeee doooooo@@oxoelfoxo
@@oxoelfoxo pas de deux is pronounced : pa (a like in Las Vegas or marijuana), de deux (the sound de or deux is almost the same like in the name maDEline) I tried to find a good exemple but it is not really an "English" sound ! If you type "pronunciation pas de deux" on internet, you will find a video with it !
