What's amazing is that they're already strong enough to do the jump. It would probably only take them a month or so to really hone in on the technique. Ballerinas are amazing!
Exactly. They’ve just been working on the other things for so many years. But I adore male dancers & love when they do what they do. Thank goodness for all beautiful techniques they hv, male & female!
Yes, I agree. I think they're used to graceful movement so they're not focusing on generating momentum via power and really forcing their hips to turn with the leg. If they just imagined something annoying to kick at I'm sure they'd all nail it. 😂
I love that the ballet teacher does this. All types of styles regardless of gender styles should be taught. Never know when there is a lack of dancers in performances and someone has to step in (happened to me for a dance show, someone didn’t show up, and I had to step in their place to learn their moves).
Also, I think it could be a cool performance if both man and woman did these kicks during an intense or "fight scene" where suddenly they come together.
Learning to dance ballet from your counterpart’s ‘perspective’ likely helps with partnering for pas de deux or any choreography involving multiple dancers!
I noticed that a lot of them were doing a ballet leg lift, more than a kick. As in, their upper half, was still vertical. They weren't leaning their body with the kick. That's why the dude's kick looks graceful like a swan, and theirs didn't.
I think I get it, I'm far from a pro dancer but I learned ballet for years and the vertical posture stayed with me, I had a skating lesson and fell many times because I forgot to lean forward x,D
That makes sense. There was something more dynamic and kapow about his kicks, and outside of the practice and experience, I couldn't pinpoint exactly why his looked more like a kick and more "masculine". Theirs looks feminine and like the kick part is fighting the rest of their body. (Except one of the girls in the beginning in the middle of the room, kinda rounder. She looked like she was letting the kick and her leg lead the rest of her body, but she had less control and center than they. But that almost seems like that's what you have to unlearn. Like they kept trying to keep to a spin that's centered on the point of a toe, when it's not). Ah it's like there's a weight shift on where the center of the spin is, and their bodies dont quite comprehend it.
Can we appreciate that one girl who was killing it? She was more tanned and was in the front. Bowing down to you sis you went for it and it looked cool 🙇♀️
That’s actually the owner’s (Slawomir) son🤎 he has another son as well, both who teach at the same academy ! You can tell as they all have the same last name & all look alike as well !
His foot is facing the back wall before he even lands where as the girls were facing the front wall or side wall. It's really intriguing to see how differing dance styles influence leg work and feet work.
That would look so cool on a ballerina! It's the same way I always go slack-jawed at male pointe dancers. It looks so unique and gorgeous Btw what's this particular jump called? (I'm just getting back into ballet and my vocabulary is soooo rusty)
Female ballet kind of selects against female jumpers as you need extra muscle for it, not the lean long legs you need to get into a pro ballet school as a female. Yes they still jump but not like the boys can.
I love that in ballet women are so graceful and the men's jumps and turns seem more like you're training for martial arts. Oh, how I miss my ballet days... even though I sucked and was forced into it in order to join a tap company that recruited me lol
I had to quit ballet young because of an accident and my academy had like no male students (small town) I've always wondered when the differences in training start, age-wise. I can't find much info on it (and fun fact right now I'm writing a thing that has that as an important plot point). You wouldn't happen to know anything about that? PS congrats on joining the tap dance company!
As someone who is a pro in MMA try any of those kicks in a real fight and you'd get laid out by an opponent so fricking fast, fanciful fucking kicks have no place in actual combat.
@@novusparadium9430 lmao you haven’t seen many fights if you think that. I seen a dude get knocked down by one and i was in disbelief after seeing it with my eyes. It happen so quickly. It’s impressive and scary. And also cool and funny.
As someone who has done neither ballet or karate… it seems like they could go well together! Ballet is all about control and grace (from a noob perspective) and seems like it would be a great addition to any training you would do for Karate. Or a great addition to almost any other sport TBH.
Like yesterday it was just me and another person at a convenience store and someone called yelling that their FedEx package was sent to the wrong location.
Also women are built differently, their hips are heavier than men's (men are heavier at the shoulders) so it's not only a matter of training, also physics

Its definitely common in contemporary dance. Some of these dancers might end up in ballet companies that have contemporary repertoire. That said, I’d like to know who the teacher is because he’s fine as hell!
In many cultures, men’s dance was rooted in showing off their warrior’s skills. Dance and Martial Arts are more closely related historically than many people know.
i think it’s lilarose (?) in the front who was really into it and genuinely trying is so cute she was lowkey killing it 😭😭 as a figure skater this seems so normal to me so to see most of them flail around after trying it twice is so funny
It rlly highlights the athletic prowess it takes for male ballets to perform these sets of moves, there’s so much power and agility behind every kick and jump; this in turn contrasts with the delicateness and flexibility of female ballerinas that’s harder for men to replicate Truly ballet highlights the uniqueness in skill between masc and fem builds and I find that majestic
Im not amazed. They learn harder piruettes so they should learn this one rather quickly. I was wondering why do they look to given up and miserable!! I think this is a fun jump!!
It helps me to imagine your foot smacking a really tall face. We all have someone in mind. Lol. Mine still don't look that clean tho. Y'all are doing great.
In the first exercise, none of the girls kicked. They dragged their leg, without bending it for an effective kick. If you kick in the spin, you can get an even more effective spin, than when dragging a straight leg through the spin.
