I enjoy the small things, like when they went into pirouettes I saw the one guy sporting a secret smile in a turn. These small signs that they really enjoy this is what fascinates me beyong everything else.
Miri honestly, if youre a ballet dancer but you dont enjoy piruettes, youre doing it wrong :D
@@agostonbarany9668 yeah if I do a mistake I usually smile not because I'm happy doing it but because I'm embarrassed
Miri can I have a timestamp pls?
Is that yeontan?
Miri timestamp please?
These ballerinas make their dances look like walks in the park! Their arches are sooooo pleasing to look at, and they're so graceful!
But inside they are actually dying
That's the magic. Ballet is a magical art 😁
THEY COULD ALL BE MODELS. Dancers seriously have the best bodies.
They do and gymnast to which you might want to consider the toll in the pain and the suffering that they go through with their feet which nobody talks about or the arthritis are the back compression or the bad news or the hip replacement surgery that happens with some of them you need to understand that these people are damaging their bodies for perfectionism and looking good on a stage and are addicted to the sadomasochism of it whether they admit it or not
this is very true

But it is hard when you are a dancer without a perfect body
I feel wonderful just watching. I'll be a ballerina in my next life.
Are you a space princess in your current life?
+Letícia Trein O.o is "Leticia Trein" another account of yours?
Lere Trein dont wait to the next life... Im 27 and i just started let me tell you its awesome... Doesnt matter age, weight, size
Lere Trein I started taking classical ballet classes only since 2015 and I am now 59. No need to wait. You may surprise yourself, I know I have.
me too. I started watching, then I take classes ... Don't wait another life !
I like the teacher a LOT. She seems sweet but firm.
I agree, she's got the perfect balance of firm and sweet/encouraging which I think is v important
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 🌸🌸🌸
I think so,too.
Yes 💛💛 nice 🌁 teacher.
Please dearest friend take a little look at my dance funny joyful luxurious poetic art videos 🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈🌈
Steven McRae is who catches my eye every time. He truly is such an amazing artist and a thrill to watch him dance! :) (The ginger-haired one)
+Erszi Dombi Hansen he really is amazing and so down to earth
+Erszi Dombi Hansen i agree
Erszi Dombi Hansen he looks like James whiteside
SAME
HA! True - when he's up my eyes gravitate to him... he's so 'extra' (dramatic) in his dancing, but I love it. Powerful and beautiful.
1:30 This is just like another language and I have no idea how the dancers understand her so easily/quickly. WELL DONE!
It actually is another language. In dance we use a lot of French terms :)
+Morgan Taylor in the early stages of ballet a lot of its development happened in france and Italy. most of the terms are in french. Being trained you learn these terms like the back of your hand. most of the combinations show up in every class just in different order. This is why its so easy for dancers to grasp the combo so fast.
+Morgan Taylor Learn it it's nice!
It's pretty easy to understand when u take classes I picked it up very fast haha.
+Morgan Taylor A bit of French? You know that learning French is a million times easier than becoming a Soloist+ ballet dancer at Ballet School....
Steven McRae's chaînés at 24:32 are UNREAL HOW DOES HE DO THEM
Emma Laird yes he's prefect
The muscles on the boys are insane... so athletic and pleasant to watch.
nice to see such a spectrum of ethnicities represented.
P Heart yes!

The pointes on some of these men are incredible!!
I'm 19 but I was told that to be a professional ballet dancer I should have started around when I was 7. It's not gonna stop me from trying.
Keyona Hence Not 7, but like 14-16 is the latest you can start and become professional.
Keyona Hence I heard of a girl who started at 17 and discovered she was really good at it. Last I heard she was taking a summer intensive with a fantastic school in Pennsylvania. You never know😄
Same here. I saw on interent that gymnasts should start from 4. I started on 12 and these 4 years i have improved so much i keep up with the advanced..same goes for a boy who is a friend of mine
You aren’t gonna go to New York city ballet or the bolshoi, but you could join a minor company with a LOT of work.
She actually could. If you happen to have all the things a ballerina should have. Like flexibility(which you can work on), coordination, the right attitude, the body, strength, picking up combination fast etc. Luckily most of the things you can work on. I know someone that started at 18 and is now studying at the national ballet... She is even better than the ballerina's that started young. So it's truly never to late. As long as you got passion and you work hard. Just hurry a bit haha.
asian dancer in the long-sleeve green leo is so elegant!
+Katie Cao YES!!!!
+Jose Ramos I noticed too who is she?
+Vincent Bourgon Fumi Kaneko of The Royal Ballet.
+eiko yamashita I know i've whatched her rehearse the pas de deux in nutcracker. I just started ballet (guy) maybe someday i'll duo like this.
She has HUGE feet.
Seeing a grande ronde jambe en l'air at almost 180 degrees makes me want to cry. And those beautiful penches.
I was never able to have such control :(
Yasmine, Akane and Fumi have technique to die for!! Incredible
Amazing. Applause for the pianist too!
THE CORRECTIONS ARE PHENOMENAL!! So detailed!! "Fingers,Claire!" I cannot believe the attention to every aspect of these people's bodies it's incredible
From a musicians point of view this is ALSO extremely inspiring! Thank you for posting! Grant Green is doing such a great job!! Wauw!
Love your music :)
I love music for ballet ❤
What the music on 14.21 ?
I love your music i use it all the time
@@lindseycandea Thank you! 🙏
This is so lovely! To be able to be a fly on the wall in the Royal Ballet is such a dream, and Yuhui is such an exquisite dancer, pure inspiration to watch her pirouettes :))
+MsBabbi I really wish Yuhui could be promoted to Principal. I agree she is an exquisite dancer, so graceful and light, but I do think she has 'star quality', too. Perhaps the RB doesn't see that extra charisma or whatever in her? Too timid maybe? There obviously are a lot of components necessary to make a great Principal, but I really think she's got whatever it is (although I'm just a ballet fan, not the Director, of course!). Ah well, at least she gets some good solos.
+MsBabbi couldn't agree more! it is such a pleasure to see her dance. We should start a campaign so they promote her!
+MsBabbi I love watching Yuhui, she is so obviously loving what she does. I watch You Tube excerpts of her dancing White Swan, Black Swan with Korea National Ballet from 2010, it's adorable. This I do on the treadmill at the gym btw.
+Lisa S Yuhui does dance principle roles in major Ballets. Alice (Alice in Wonderland) Cinderella, Princess Aurora (The Sleeping Beauty), Nikiya and Gamzatti (La Bayadère), Sugar Plum Fairy (The Nutcracker), Lise (La Fille mal gardée) www.roh.org.uk/people/yuhui-choe.
When Natalia Osipova was injured before Sleeping Beauty a couple of years ago Yuhui stood in so ended up dancing Aurora in five shows.
+MsBabbi Which dancer is Yuhui?
2:11 THAT FOOT OMFG
As a dancer myself sometimes I don't always watch the ballet whenever I go to competitions even though I do it myself. But with this I've watched this exact rehearsal three times now... The students, teacher and music is just so entertaining! All the dancers have beautiful technique (obviously haha) and make you want to watch them:) the stamina is unreal here- I'd be dying at the back from just half of this haha! Thank you for making ballet entertaining!xx
Pretty much everything is brilliant about this ballet videoclip: the pianist is Brilliant; the dancers are all so elegant, graceful and flexible, and the teacher has a perfect balance of firmness and gentleness/kindness in her
Yuhui and Fumi are literally my favs!
They all are SOOOO good and I'm just here looking like a whale 🐳not this cute whale 🐋the other whale emoji that no one uses
Omg your comment though 😭😭😂🐋🐋
Whale
I use that whale....#WHALEISM
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 🌸🌸🌸
I hope that the next World Ballet Day includes the Barre section of the beginning. It's just as fascinating to watch as the second half, and it's a true shame it was left out.
oh my gosh! Steven at 24:33
***** I know!
+Sochilinda I was just calling him "crazy pants guy" up to this point. Glad to know his actual name. He's amazing!
practicaldreamyr He is an incredibly amazing dancer. His name is Steven Mcrae from Australia :)
Sochilinda t
The guy with the green and red trousers was amazing! So talented
Also the girl with the long sleeved green leotard - turns to die for!
Finally the girl with the blue and white leotard with dark blue shorts was also very amazing!
Hi Erin, in case you'd like to know their names those dancers are Steven McRae, Fumi Kaneko and Yasmine Naghdi:
www.roh.org.uk/people/steven-mcrae
www.roh.org.uk/people/fumi-kaneko
www.roh.org.uk/people/yasmine-naghdi
Royal Opera House wow thanks for replying! They're amazing
I was looking exactly at the first 2 of them as well:)
Royal Opera House why is Fumiko not proposed to Principal yet ?? She was SO amazing.
This has rapidly become one of my favorite videos to watch, and in large part due to the music (!) teaching, and Steven McRae's brilliant execution of a baterrie combination close to the end. His speed and precision are extraordinary!
I like how each dancer is in a way personalizing each exercise but doing different arms, some of course are the same but when they aren’t specifically told on what to do with their arms, it’s really interesting on how they choose which arms to do, based on what they think suits best or feels most natural. Truly lovely
I think this is my favourite company class, love Jackie's voice. Wonderful to watch. Thank you ROH
Refreshing to see a bit of variety in the body types of the female dancers.
The dancer with the red leotard on 6:41 and shorts! I loved to see her, it was great to see someone with my body type on a ROH ballet class 🥺 she doesn’t have thin muscular legs like other ballet dancers but she had big muscular ones and broad shoulders AND SHE KILLED IT ON CENTER! It feels good to see someone like me!
after have watched a lot of company's videos from everywhere i think the RoyalOperaHouse is ne of the best , with the most beauty,clean , soft tecnique....so now i know where i'm going to dance someday
I love so much this class: the exercises' choreo, the dancers' fluidity and the pianist... there's magic here!!
the level of strength these amazing and gifted dancers have is beyond wonderful.
This is the Royal Ballet Class I most enjoy watching. Really inspiring.
Wow, I take ballet 4 times a week and it's HARD WORK. This looks so tiering. I applaud them for what they do!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this fantastic look into the Royal Ballet class. It's so inspiring and encouraging.
So fun to see dancers who have since become principals and how much they have developed!
Just as a sort of interesting point - many years ago, I was working for Epsom Coaches and on quite a few occasions I had the pleasure of picking up the students and teachers from White Lodge and take them wherever - on one occasion I was about 15 minutes late and as I drove in one very serious looking lady told me off in front of the waiting dancers, about 13 years of age, and I felt like a very naughty schoolboy!! Talk about "put in my place". Anyway, she gave me a cup of tea when I got them all safely back! I appreciate all the hard work and pain these dancers endure to achieve their goal.
I've been on pointe for one year... I'm so excited to be doing these in the future it'll be alot of work though.
The accompanist is briliant!
So stunning! 8 years later and sending positive vibes back through time!
Beautiful to watch. I can only imagine...
As i ballet dancer myself, all i can say is that even though ballet might not be the hardest thing to do, its definetly up there on the top 10
really super great pianist!!!!!!! a wonderful class all together.
I watch this video over and over - so much inspiring talent!!
I love watching them , it makes me motivated to dance everyday
The teacher is great❗
テンションが上がるレッスン。振りもわかりやすいし、メリハリが効いている。
ピアニストの選曲も良かった。
I love how sometimes, some dancers are doing a few moves which aren't in the combination, you ca truly see how they feel while dancing, very beautiful.
I love watching this. There all so talented and amazing
This is SUCH am amazing class with such BEAUTIFUL dancers!
The pianist is unbelievable! Wonderful
wow i wish i had legs like that.
Just watching this is exhausting! All the dancers are perfect I love it ❤️
More class videos please it's so inspirational 💕
I really appreciate things like this being posted! Besides just getting to watch these beautiful dancers, its also I nice off day follow along : ) BTW the woman in the green and black is an AMAZING turner!
Love that the public was invited into class! Thank you! 👍🏽 The commentary was a bit distracting though.
lovely dedication and self discipline an an amazing teacher they all obviously cherish!! Amazing dancers!!
They are simply so beautiful I want to cry. This is what inspires me to keep trying to get onto pointe.
Their different attire is quick confusing, I thought that a simple dress code was required.
i admire their memory. the lady speaks so much so quickly and everyone is all like "ok, lady. got it, lady". i'd stand there gawking and asking her to repeat it at least 10 more times before there was any chance for me to remember it. Also the read headed guy in colourful pants seems really graceful. i have no idea if he really is that great but he seems to be.
Thanks for your comment. That dancer is Steven McRae, a Principal of The Royal Ballet. www.roh.org.uk/people/steven-mcrae
You know, watching this I really regret dropping from ballet when I was a teen. Now at 30 it’s too late.
I never wanted to dance professionally but I had such a blast doing it. I have to confess I am a bit envious of those guys.
Loved it. Teaching the combos to my advanced dancers at the studio. Thank you for sharing.
The three girls in the line on the left dancing together are just stunning to watch! Even though it's just class work, they still look like they're performing together. LOVELY! 28:27
Who's the dancer at 25:12 wearing a green leotard and black leggings with points. thx!! she danced beautifully
She is Fumi Kaneko www.roh.org.uk/people/fumi-kaneko
it's truly amazing how they pick up the combination so fast, I've been dancing for 9 years and I still need my teacher to go over the combo like 3 times😂
amazing live music! Love it! It's like online class to me. thanks !
So, so wonderful!!! Fantastic dancers, wonderful combinations!!!! My question is; What on earth is there not to "like"?????? I just do not understand why ANYONE could click on the thumbs down button!
Even when you’re a professional dance teachers will still shout out stuff every two seconds!
The roughed up hair guy at 3:06 oh my goodness😍 All of these guys are so attractive!
So many stars in one room. All the top boys are there!
Watching this makes me with I could do it all over again, how I miss my dancing days!
There technique is flawless!
25:12 - 25:29 the girl at the front is so amazing i almost cried
That's Fumi Kaneko www.roh.org.uk/people/fumi-kaneko
Have been watching a lot of Russian videos of classes and the dancers are amazing but I must say I enjoyed hearing the laughter and seeing the smiles in this class. Also nice to see less identikit body types in this company compared to others. Not knowledgeable enough to know how much a 'lighter' approach affects technique, etc. but it was a bit of a relief watching this after the other stuff! Remember watching the RB corps rehearsal for 'La Bayadere' which was equally enjoyable and the teacher was so encouraging to all the dancers.
Love love love this videos!💜💜💜
This was very helpful. I think sometimes as a young ballerina you can be very hard on yourself if you have bad class, so it is really nice to see even the pros have it hard in class sometimes. Thank you +Royal Opera House :)
Look at David Donnelly's foot at 2:10. Wow! Then look at that fantastic line in arabesque. A future star.
This is just so beautiful and inspiring
This makes me miss all those years of ballet class I did in my 20s. Lovely to watch.
Heather S well,do it now as a mature student?
Who is the beautiful brown female ballet dancer in the green and black leotard with the black pants, one leg pulled up? She's fantastic!
+2kooldancin That's Francesca Hayward www.roh.org.uk/people/francesca-hayward
+Royal Opera House Thank you! What a wonderful company!
+2kooldancin Brown? You mean Asian? I've never really heard anybody call an Asian person 'brown', but maybe it is okay, also, since you did not mean it in a bad way, clearly, but still. I guess if we can use 'white' and 'black', 'brown' is no different? Hmmm.
+Ovaer - Call of Duty actually, the dancer I was referring to, Francesca Hayward, IS brown. She's biracial. Black and white. But there are brown Asian people too. Many Filipino and Thai people have beautiful brown skin. There's absolutely nothing wrong with brown skin :)
+2kooldancin Actually, Asians call them dark skin, not brown. Better to say fair or tan, or dark, lest we offend anyone ;)
Steven McRae's beats are just 👌👌
this was so lovely to watch I felt like I was actually in the room rehearsing......, in mind not in body (smile) ......
I kept trying to look for like 5 different people loll,, this was really cool watching this. Lol when the commentators (or whatever they're called) said everyone was trying to show off, it really cracked me up but they were all so beautiful and obviously so talented.
New found respect for ballet dancers. Holy shit!!!
Great ^_^
wonderful music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Natural ability and good bones/flexibility/ and body ratios ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT than an eternity of practice. I was in ballet....and I can vouch for this fact. It's a rare ballet dancer or student, who can attain the level of a world class dancer despite all the practice in the world!!!!
I love seeing pros doing a class and looking at them and seeing them as students, and think about my classes, makes me feel less bad about myself. Mayge one day ill be as good.
I love the live class initiative! You are all such amazing artists and athletes. I wonder, how much music theory or piano are the professional dancers required to understand?
i can't recall the name of the woman in the emerald green leo, but i really enjoy watching her dance. she's really maturing into a graceful dancer.
That's Fumi Kaneko www.roh.org.uk/people/fumi-kaneko
They are gorgeous ♡ Good luck in their life ♡
Amazing video, quite inspiring, thanks so much for posting!
This is excellent! Especially the one with white top and light blueish green pants
I wish I could see these exercises from the very beginning as it was in the last year(
Alexander is such a great dancer. Love watching him
I love this class!!!!
25:11 lady in the long sleeve green leotard is incredible
Thanks Royal Ballet! You made me exercise and enjoy ballet during summer. Would it be okay to show my ballet school this video?
Yes of course - please share the video with everyone you think might enjoy it.
Royal Opera House Thanks and I will!
i screamed when i saw steven mcrae. his performance of prince florimund is the most inspiring thing i've ever seen
There phenomenal when I'm watching them
