The Royal Ballet company class in full

- The Royal Ballet take their morning ballet class led by Brian Maloney and accompanied by pianist Robert Clark, as filmed for #WorldBalletDay 2019.
Royal Ballet dancers take class six days a week to warm up for rehearsals and performances. As Kristen McNally described during World Ballet Day 2015, ‘class is all about getting the body warm for the day’s rehearsal - and it’s also a great time to concentrate on yourself, to improve your technique’.
Class at The Royal Ballet lasts about 90 minutes and covers a wide range of movements. It starts with exercises of increasing complexity at the barre before the dancers move into the centre of the room. This is a unique window into the daily life of a dancer at The Royal Ballet, showing the dedication and athleticism required for every step, as well as allowing viewers a unique look inside one of the Company's rehearsal studios.

I so love ballet, am now 80 years and loved ballet lessons when young. It is wonderful to be able to follow these classes.
I'm 65 and used to take ballet lessons when I was younger, and also love to follow these lessons. Good to know that I'm not the only one, was beginning to think that I was a bit weird.
I love watching classical ballet lessons too! They are lucky to have live piano accompaniment.
That’s so wonderful to hear! I am still young myself, and it really is amazing. It’s great to hear from some of the older people in the ballet community!!
Come to our profile, we have children who perform ballet from the age of 2!) And there are classes for any age on the channel. 🌸🌸🌸
Glad someone even older than me is watching and practicing ballet with this clip. Keep at it; I’m right back of you!
I don’t think the company has ever had a better roster of male dancers than it has right now. There’s so much talent in that room!
I love the individuality here. They're all doing the same combination, more or less, and adding their own preferred port de bras and balances and timing it's so lovely to watch these professionals
They pick up the choreography so fast it blows my mind!!!
Well most exercises are similar
it’s ballet vocabulary
You have to do that in the ballet world
The warm-up exercises are the same nearly each time.
I am a ballet class pianist in Washington DC at the Kennedy Center. These pianists for the royal ballet company classes are fantastic! If you are a pianist and want to learn to play ballet class, I highly recommend these RUclips videos.
I'm a ballet pianist as well. The thing that amazes me about this guy is how quick he picks up the tempo. One thing about this class that's different than the classes I play for is the pace. They move from one combination to the next with minimal time in between. I always get nervous with teachers who count in "fast-forward" motion, because I'm not sure what tempo they really want. These two must work together a lot to understand each other that well.
@@peterjoseph8958 Company class and classes in your local studio are often quite different. Company class is often fast paced like this class. You have to think really fast.
@@lindakipps7551 That's true, but this is fast even by company class standards I've seen. I've played for company classes for years at Silicon Valley Ballet and some ABT company classes, and usually there's about 30 seconds to a minute in between combinations, depending on the teacher.
@@peterjoseph8958 have only just seen your post a year on from the 2019 Day, but wanted to say that all you ballet pianists are in a class of your own, and should get more recognition! Your comment reminded me that many years ago Kathleen Crofton was teaching in London, and she 'danced' the steps with her hands whilst whistling the rhythm - a real challenge for both dancers and pianists until you were used to her classes!
Hello my friends, I'm a ballet pianist too 🤗 could you advise me some videos of the ballet lessons with another good pianists please? Sorry for my English is bad. Thank you all 😊
The accompanist is incredible!! I wish I had him for my class!
I had a recent accompanist who played Disney tunes the whole time. Literally best class ever!!
It's wonderful to be able to see the work that dancers put in each day and to see lots of faces that I recognise from different ballets that I've seen. Also, must agree with everyone else - the pianist, Rob, is fabulous: giving the dancers great energy.
I am 75 and watch this every year. I am in awe of you all. Truly beautiful. Just love the ballet. The pianist is amazing too.
you will see Alejandra Ferri working at the barre behind the piano!
Robert Clark is a virtuoso. Beautiful music to accompany fabulous athletes.
Thanks for noticing. I played for ballet when I was young. Great to be appreciated.
@@pennyfurr3216 hello. What music did you play for ballet artists? I'm a ballet pianist too. Thank you
The main thing of dance class is an accompanist. Specially this man is awesome 👏 . They have to really appreciate for god to sent this wonderful and talented pianIst.

13:13 to 15:19 rond de jambe on phantom's angel of music is what i LIVE for omg
Charlie Willems main reason I love this day, listening to all the pianists.......... and then watching the dancers!
Awesome eh! I love this company for ALL aspects!
Agreed! Couldn't figure out where or how I knew this song. You have saved me:) Been playing this on repeat throughout the day
Def! Love his Angel of music 😀
Robert Clark is a musical GOD!!!! Love him.....so talented!!
I love how Rob is playing such wonderful feel good music without any sheets. Great job!
This is my favorite day of the year to see the inside workings of the Royal Ballet. This is such an inspiration and privilege. Thank you for making this happen!!!!
Does anyone realise that the pianist isn’t using music?? Incredible!
They rarely do. That's the deal, improvise.
yetiXDD it is to your advantage to be able to improvise the way Robert Clark does in this video. It allows you to be totally free and respond quickly to the teacher. Yes, this pianist is awesome!
So important to appreciate a fine pianist💖
Ive been doing Ballet accompanying for 15 years and rarely do I improvise. I play classical music repertoire or adele, Britney, Whitney, drake etc
So its not really apart of the deal to play class
That's the best way to go 😉
Love the Scottish medley at the start... Ye Banks and Braes to open followed by Skye Boat Song! Wonderful class of talent!
Ah-ha! I had been wondering what the opening piece was as recognised it but didn't know the name - thanks.
The music makes my ballet/musical theater geek heart smile
The way they all look at each other now and again, with a little smirk, as if they all speak a silent language between themselves, and we just don't understand! Magical!
Glad to see some of my favourite dancers taking class: Marcelino Sambé, Yasmine Naghdi, Matthew Ball, Mayara Magri, William Bracewell and James Hay. Also great to see new faces ! Hope they are all adapting well to company life.
Thank you for mentioning James! He is my favorite and so amazing but very underrated. Love him!
The great Alessandra Ferri briefly. glimpsed at about 11:18. Still doing class in her 50's! And again at 14:15
it's so soothing to have this playing in the background
Def! It's so lovely to go to sleep too 😴
the pianist played singin in the rain, i love that
My only regret is that I didn't start balett much sooner in my Life...I am 56 now and love it...I live it, Dream it and even started to 'eat like a ballerina' LOL! I wish there were dance shools for us over 35-40....once a week is simply not enough...love this!! Love from Sweden!!
RAD run Silver Swans for 50+. If you can't find a local teacher, there are some online classes. Never too late to start dancing!
Alessandra Ferri!! 😍😍 such a legend!
a beautiful class as always. please stream them more often ROH!
Capaya8690 Yes~I saw her.
I took this as my ballet class today I'm home due to COVID19 and it was like being in class-love you all thanks from bottom of my heart!!
The pianist is a genious
I Hope Steve has a full and speedy recovery, it's weird not seeing him and his energy on #worldballetday this year.
Marie Anarchy I was thinking the same thing. Heal quickly, Steve McRae! ❤️
I miss ballet and it's great to see a full class. It's been years since I have been in class. Wonderful dancers, teacher and pianist.
...and amongst those hard working stars of today, none shines brighter than the power of two, Brian and Robert. XXX
40:15 omg thats soooooo sweet!! He just came up and gave her a hug??
Me encanta poder seguir desde mi casa y disfrutar de una clase de balet. Tengo 70 años y me retrotrae a mi juventud en distintas clases pero sobre todo en el conservatorio de Toulouse donde tuve la suerte de tener una prodigiosa profesora Simone Techenet .
Gracias por estos vídeos.
I miss ballet so much, I miss dancing so much...it reminds me of my mom, She always made my chignon, I just miss her so much..❤️
I understand. I'm sure her love for you will always be there.
As long as you remember her and love her in your heart, she'll never truly be gone.
Just used this as a home barre in lockdown. It was brilliant! The lovely music for plies, "ye Banks and Braes" and "The Skye Boat Song" appeals to my roots.
Wow everyone is soooo clean! Its such a privalage to be able to study these dancers up close. I feel like i"M learning so much by just watching them work.
Просмотрел не отрываясь до конца, волшебные танцоры, препод и пианист! Такой прекрасный и тяжёлый труд. Особое почтение пианисту - больше часа без остановки, не вставая, давая замечательную музыку.
The Pianist Robert Clark is Brilliant and just so Musical.Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is now an essential part of my weekly workout routine. The pianist deserves special kudos - he is inspiring.
These classes are so wonderful. Bryan's classes are very methodical - really working on the essential muscles at the beginning before transitioning to the center. I've been following along whenever my dance school is on a break. The ballet muscles forget themselves really quickly, so it's nice to have some contagiously beautiful online courses!
It's fun to watch older WBD videos of years past, and seeing the same dancers back then. (I'm obsessed!)
the hard work pays of, they improve greatly over the years. Marcellito Sambe beyond recognition
i turn this on whenever I have a long, concentration need work to do. his voice is so good with piano and those clapping!
I practice ballet bar to this music at home every day. Piano performance is the best.
Thank you.
Over the sea to sky is a lovely choice of piano music to dance to ,, The dancers are stunning i have chosen my favourite dancers xx
Bravo to an extraordinary ballet company. Well done everyone, and hats off to Kevin O'Hare for his leadership.
I love the full class every year
i think a big improvement is having just the two experinced dancers doing the links and voice overs there is certainly less chat but the infomation is still put across , you dont need a third person to ask a question , so conversation is cut by a third. I know a lot of people would prefer no voices at all but this is an improvement over previous years
Il pianista e super!!! Bravissimo !!!
Oh, I was crying at 'Somewhere out there' of Adagio... The pianist is a really fantastic!
Watched this 4 times now (including live on the day)! I love seeing dancers in class.
To the pianist, job well done. To the dancers, job well done. To the teacher, job well done! And to everyone who videotaped, thank you! I have been doing ballet since I was 4 years old!
Every year the Royal Ballet company class is really the highlight of World Ballet Day! What a treat!
BRAVO!!!... 👏🏼👏🏼😻💕😻💕
Vera Cruz Yes it is a big highlight for me as well.
My third time watching this company class video. Such an amazing and beautiful/handsome company! I recently had the privilege to attend a show at the Royal Opera House (Swan Lake). One of the most incredible and moving experiences I have ever had in so many ways. It should be on everyone's bucket list!
Okay, but what a pleasure to dance and warm up to that beautiful rendition of Angel of Music that must have been
I remember dancing at the Riverside dance studio in London, also in New York, Phillipines and Montreal, I'm now 70 a pleasure to watch it brings back wonderful memories. I now live in Australia.
I have been looking forward to this for an entire year! I binge watched the last ones in a day and was so blown away by the technique and control. I've never done ballet but I admire the skill
These are beautiful! They help ordinary people like me understand how important form is and how hard it is to dance beautiful ballet
Thank you for sharing the warm ups for us during World Ballet Day - we appreciate it! 🙌🏽👏🏽👍🏽
The hardest sports-art form exists! Fight against gravity with grace , endure paIn with smile, never eat enough for comfort....
Only respect for all these beautiful ballerinas 👯♂️❣️❣️
I too am reliving my ballet years which I loved so much.. I am 72 and still feel those movements through these classes.
The dancing is a wonderful demonstration of the level of fitness required for this amazing dance form.
The music being played by the pianist is lovely - very much enjoying the infilling, beautiful and joyful selection of pieces!!! As previously mentioned with no sheet music. Thankyou to all 🙂
Fabulous accompaniment! Robert is a genius 😘😍😋. Hilarious - was giggling the whole way through!
Ahhh I love the Royal Ballet so much. I hope to reach it same day 😍🙏🏻
I believe in you!
Wow. Thank you for these wonderful replies. 😘❤️
You can do it. I believe in you too
Amazing class! The teacher is absolutely great! And Rob never disappoints 🥰
Beautiful to see a future mother dance ♡♡♡
That signature RB èpaulement and port de bras...stunning.
The pianist is awesome, so are the dancers. It would be so cool to play the piano for them, improvising and watching these super humans. I love ballet and have been dancing since I was 4. After watching the Royal Opera House nothing can compare to their dancers, their costumes, their sets, their instructors and their hard work. It shows on stage. The clips that I have seen from their ballets! Just wow!! I hope to see their Nutcracker one day!!
Love this class...I am always inspired by Olga & Brian class ...Thank you sooo much for sharing :)
I LOVE BALLET... GRACIAS POR EXISTIR ESTE BELLO ARTE... Saludos desde México.
Amazing job, and the pianist is from out of space 👏👏👏
He's really good! I'm a ballet pianist myself and it's really hard to get through and entire class catching the end of every single combination and getting every tempo exactly right. This guy is telepathic!
@@peterjoseph8958 I'm a ballet pianist too 🤗
THANKS FOR ANOTHER OUTSTANDING WORLD BALLET DAY ! LOVE COMPANY CLASS !
I love watching these ballet classes.
What nice to see these youngs dancers with a great tecnique in one of the best company of the world !,
Thank you for all this spectacular materials. Thank you for exist.
amazing the work done by those dancers, impressed by the energy and their concentration. Thanks for this rehearsal RBL
Music was so beautiful especially opening piece
I love how they use gentle music in the plie parts,and then they do jazzy music when they do tendu and stuffs 🤗🤗
Oh my I love all the dancers here.. and omg that pianist tho! La Campanella for tendus?! I'm hooked!!
Amo essa companhia!!! Acho maravilhoso o empenho de cada componente.
Great to watch....thanks for letting us see behind the scenes of what these great dancers do just to warm up...😍🥰
Is it just me that camera work was kind of too busy this year? During the center before jumps was hardly to catch up.
So beautiful to watch! and touching Piano . Just Love it every seconds of the video!! many Thanks to all. bravo!!
Thank you, so beautifully done, by dancers, teacher, and awesome pianist. I am smiling because of personal memories of a mom, and many years later her daughter.
yay I wait for this every year.
omg the girl in pink almost danced into the camera 1:01:31-1:01:42
she is so cute :3
Love Beatriz!
@MARTHA SIMS Yup!
It’s the one and only Bea 🤪😎
Me if my class was being recorded tbh
Shame not seeing Steven McRae this year, wish him a speedy recovery (:
Yasmine in the epitome of grace. The way she use her body is incredible. And I miss Vadim :(
Концертмейстеру отдельная премия и бескончная благодарность!
Больше часа без остановки и не вставая!
Love Sir Robert on the piano, the dancers are outstanding. Love it, thanks for sharing this with us.
It's strangely beautiful to watch them practice.. also, at one point the pianist was playing La Cucaracha
Watching this for a third time just to listen to the piano. 🙂
me, too! Love this incredible pianist. What skill, humour and artistry! Cheers
Alex Weltike I like the pianist very much too, but I prefer Kate Shipley even more! She played company class for the very first WBD in 2012.
Lol! The theme from Oulander is the warmup. Nice barre, working and stretching the feet and body. I am loving the music for this class! People don't always realize how important good music and playing is important to the tone and energy of the class everyday. As always kudo's the Royal Ballet accompanists! i love World Ballet day because we get to see the Royal Ballet strut their stuff. Always good. Very fun class today.
Lovely to see them all clapping the pianist and teacher and i suppose themselves at the end
What an inspiration to dance to such a variety of totally appropriate music! Such a treat whether it's Opera, classical favourites or musical theatre tunes. Wonderful!
I've done ballet exercises in London classes to anything and everything, including Grace Jones, Theodorakis' Zorba dance. I remember some fabulous pianists who really woke up my body and mind. So inspiring.
Fantastic class and pianist :)...*
Thank you very much!
I enjoyed watching,what a lovely 😊 ,thanks a lot ,
Very nice.Mr. Maloney is so darn handsome .
he is from a town in the california mojave desert not too far from where i live.
@@redshoesgirl Im coming over to casually run into him :)
Every year the teacher says “ toes n toes n toes xx “
toes n toes n toes n toes n toes n toes n toes
I miss steven, hoping he has a quick recovery
what happened?
@@victoriaa2218 his Achilles tendon ruptured :( instagram.com/p/B37e1QbginR/
I know 🤥after his first show in a while I was happy he was better but then his Achilles ruptured again and had to be replaced the rest of the performance 😞
I didn’t know that happened. I was trying to look for him but I couldn’t find him and wondered if something happened. Hopefully he’ll have a speedy recovery.
The camera work is just awful this year. We don’t want to see lingering close-ups of faces, or ariel long-shots, or the constant frantic camera movement which only ever allows us to see a fragment of a step. Every now and then....WE WANT TO SEE PEOPLE DANCE!
That's what I wanted to say! I love the 2018 version since I can clearly see their foot movements!
That's all too common for cameramen/women to do that always or leaving the men out. That shows they have no idea of what ballet is.
hard agree. I've been following along on this video as a warm up for my workouts and even though I've done this like 10+ times there's still some points where I'm lost on the choreography. That's how bad it is lol. I'm certainly very close by now to having most of it memorized but the camera work is so bad sometimes I'm like, am I on the wrong foot? And I won't be, but the angles are so bad I get confused.
Its for publicity not instruction- buy a video
steady bloke
That’s such an inane response that I can only assume you’re one of the camera crew. Obviously, 194 people (that we know of) disagree with you.
What a lovely way to start class with the Outlander tv series' theme. Bravo!
