      I think I've cracked the missing pieces, although the camera crew seemed to positively avoid the dancers you've not been able to identify.
      Man in all black on 1st row: former first soloist, Valeri Hristov. Lady in the corner on the same row: former first soloist Helen Crawford.
      Last man on 2nd row: former soloist Tristan Dyer.
      Fourth lady on 6th row: former Aud Jebsen Young Dancer Arianna Maldini.
      And the first lady on 7th row is, I believe, former principal dancer and absolute legend, Leeanne Benjamin. Unless I really need to see an optometrist. ;-)

    Ah yes, company class. I was so lucky to have danced professionally even though I always bellyached at having to be at the studio by 9am. We did a ball-buster ballet class much like this one, and then a modern class. I always thought: aren't normal people just getting to work right now? However much I complained, I'd give anything just for one more year. The other day I realized it has been over 20 years since I retired. How I miss those days of my youth. Now I'm just an old fart who programs computers.

      Actually those might not be new routines. I could see people not even looking at him and doing the routines right after he finished assigning them. But it's absolutely mind-blowing to see how fast they catch on to what they have to do.

    Sorry, I don't want to be rude but all this conversation during class really messed up whoever was doing the class. The piano was not heard, only the interview, it's a shame that a class so beautiful and so well played was so hindered by this endless conversation. .

      indeed, towards the end Bussell is lengthily explaining that all the men want to outdo each other and do the highest jumps. That's silly. There are guys who jump big; there are guys who turn beautifully, there are wonderful partnering princes. It takes all kinds. A company with only high jumpers would not work. Similarly she says all the girls in the corps want to be soloists. That's just not true. Being a soloist takes a kind of personality and many dancers are happy not to stand there all alone.

      @artisticdiva1 8 лет назад +66

      She was expecting their first child back in 2014. You can see footage of her dancing next to Steven, her husband on the WBD 2014 video. Nice to see her interviewed this time but I feel kind of sad for the girl who was standing next to her who was also very obviously pregnant but ignored.

    • @charlottegodbolt5138
      @charlottegodbolt5138 7 лет назад +21

      artisticdiva1 too wondered why they didn't even say hello to the pregnant lady next to her?.. Seems rather uncivilised - unless maybe she said beforehand she didn't want to be interviewed?.. hmmm.

      artisticdiva1 I was wondering why she was ignored.... :( Like Charlotte said it was rather uncivilized love the Royal Ballet none the less. :( I think it wasn't the company is fault, instead the video crew. But maybe they didn't want to waste time? But I short, "you too! Your equally as hardworking" or include her in the same conversation.
