I’m a violinist. But am a spectator of ballet and ballet music. So I knew most of them. It’s easier for me to recognize the music than the actual ballet dance steps and choreography. Great video!
Yay, welcome! We have quite a few violinists on here that are also ballet enthusiasts :) You definitely had an advantage being a musician. Thanks for watching and playing along! 😊🤍
We need a TwoSet collaboration!
Hahha that would be interesting! 😂Noted, thank you!
"I don't like thinking outside the box!" My new favorite line. Loved this, and I want to see the male variation one!
Hahaha thank you! 😅 She will be happy to know she’s not alone LOL Yes, we will consider making that happen for male variations for you all in a future video, stay tuned! :)
That Carmen intro is so iconic! Great video; nice that you've incorporated footage from the variations from different ballet companies. Really appreciate that!
Thank you so much!! Glad you played along and enjoyed it- we try to introduce different from different ballet companies :) Yes, that Carmen one really got Eden lol 😂
Love how osipova is in every second clip
Thanks for watching and for the great observation. We didn’t notice till you pointed it out! Lol 😂
Y’all kind of remind me of Brett and Eddy from TwoSetViolin!
Haha you’re not the first person to say! 😅😅 Thank you for watching and being a part of this channel, so glad you’re here!
That last one, all I could think was "Mission Impossible theme?" 😆
Hahha You would not wrong or the only one who thinks so lol We’ve been told the same… Mission Impossible :) Thanks for playing! 🩰♥️
@@balletreign Well now we know where Lalo Schifrin got his inspiration, at least!
Same haha
Flight of the valkyries - where the female spirits get chased by a swarm of bees? 😂
Jordan was spectacular! How?!
You had us rotfl with that one 🤣🤣
yea we all want to be like Jordan when we grow up lol 💕-E
That synchronized head bopping was something else 😂😂 I got all but three of them
Hahaha, please tell us you were bopping with us, we can’t be the only ones!! 😂 Good job and thanks for playing! ♥️
You two are terrifyingly good at knowing variations, and I love how happy your craft makes you - and the way you can't help dancing in your chairs! All your videos are delightful, I don't know how you do it!
Thank you, we appreciate your kind comments as always. 💕 It’s our pleasure to share our craft with you all and glad to have you here enjoying the joy of ballet with us 🩰 😊
This has really opened my eyes to how limited my music education was. I went to college for classical flute, and not once did I ever hear any of these flute solos. We're only trained in orchestra excerpts. That Pacquita variation solo is awesome, and I would have loved to learn it with my professor!
Former ballet guy here, Bluebird was my project in Grad School - Dance History, Ballet, Modern, Jazz Technique
Always happy to welcome danseurs here! glad to have you ✨✨✨
Ottimo lavoro! Alcune erano veramente difficili!
Thank you for another enchanting and funny video! This is a rare combination and you to do it very well. I smiled the whole way through!
Jordan, congratulations on winning by a touchdown!
Eden, you displayed great sportsmanship!
I love how you added to the beautiful scenery aesthetic by having your ponytails slung over your respective shoulders, and you added the colour-matching mugs with the initials on them. 🤩
The only one of those variations I guessed was Carmen. I have not even heard of some of the ballets you mentioned so I have some research to do. Thank you!
My favourite all-time Carmen, who can never be replaced in my heart but I am willing to watch many ballerinas just in case, is East Germany's Katarina Witt, who became a double Olympic gold medalist in figure skating in the 1988 Olympics! (There was no figure skating team competition back then, so there was only one medal available per individual skater or per couple. Kati had won the 1984 Olympics as well.)
Katarina's Carmen is legendary: ruclips.net/video/g7Ago3RRV6I/видео.html
The pairs gold medal was won by equally legendary Soviets Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov, who skated their short program to a Carmen medley: ruclips.net/video/ObXthZ7UECc/видео.html
Thank you for the video! 😍🙏💐👏🩰
You’re so welcome! ❤️ Always happy to add a smile/laugh to y’all’s day 😂 Thank you for the kind comments! Glad to introduce some new ballets for you to learn about :)
Great job on guessing Carmen! That’s interesting about the ballerina turned figure skater Olympic medalist- so crazy talented!
@@balletreign 😍❤💕
That was fun!
I got one! 😯 I didn't think I'd know any of them and was just watching you guys have fun being nerdy with your passion. I got Carmen at the end though! I am shooketh! haha. Great video guys! Big love from Manchester UK xXx
Yay, huge points for getting Carmen! Sure got Eden LOL!! We’re so glad you could play along and nerd out on ballet variations with us 😂. Much love 🇺🇸 ! ♥️♥️
Eden and I tied, so I’ll spend the day feeling like an expert!
Yay, tying with Eden is already a huge feat LOL! Congrats fellow ballet expert- we are so proud! 💕
this video is so great XD
Thank you for watching and playing along :)
Eden gave a longer one second than Jordan did, lol!
Jordan kept thinking it was “one note” rather than “one second”! 😡🤣
I got Flames of Paris mixed up with Giselle act 1🤣
This was charming. I'm embarrassed to say I would have gotten all but 2 with maybe 2 seconds of the music but very much enjoyed nerding out. Could you possibly list where the clips came from? I've never seen a full Paquita or more of Laurencia than that variation. I recognized Osipova, Novikova, and a very young Obravtsova (Cupid, right?) but missed a few of the others. Well done!
Thanks for watching and playing along 😁😁. Nice job, but yes, some of these ballet are definitely less popular :) Yup, yup, and yup that was Obraztova in Cupid 💘 (love that variation on her). Thanks for nerding out with us 🙃
I got: La Bayadere Shade, Sleeping Beauty Fairy, Kitri Act 3, Cinderella Summer Fairy, Don Q Cupid, Le Corsaire Gulnare, Paquita Jumping Variation, Coppelia Wedding, and Don Q Dulcinea
at the first second and Raymonda Pizzicato and Carmen at two seconds.
This was so fun!! Would love to see the male variation version too.
Yay! Wow you did so well, glad to know fellow ballet nerds out there :) Thanks for watching and playing this game with us. Definitely stay tuned for a male variation version 😅❤️
Omg I play this exact game with my daughter. I am a ballet lover from audience's perspective and she's training to become a ballerina and we have lots of fun with this
A lot of those Minkus variations are hard because…a LOT of them start similarly
Right??! This was such a hard challenge! 😂😂
I LOVE THIS GAME I’m gonna save this for later and play with you guys idk if I’m gonna do as good as I think 😭🤔
Hehehe best of luck! Let us know how you do, some of them are tricky! 😁😁
Please do this again!!! I loved playing this along with u girls haha 😆 thanks 4 this!
Of course!! Thanks for playing along with us ballet nerds 😂 We will definitely do this again :)
Lots of fun with that...thanks..I knew most of them. How about ballets from NYC Ballet repertoire? You stuck with all classics...fabulous as they are.
That’s a good point you have there! Def not “classical” rep, but maybe we’ll include them in a future vid ☺️
i learned les sylphides in undergrad and i was like what i she singing... oh 😆
Heheh yea… we’re lacking a bit in the sing-song department 😂😂😂
Love you two and what you bring to us. Fantastic. Will we have more of a chance to see ya'll's dance too... would love to see what you both bring to your art, craft... c'est possible?
Thank you so much! ♥️ Welcome and glad to have you here. Yes, definitely, we hope to show you more of us doing ballet in future videos! 🩰 Appreciate your support and kind comments- you all make it so much fun to share our craft.
@@balletreign Yes, that would be so excellent. You guys (ladies should say) know so much more than me, and that was my craft years ago. So great.
I arrived pretty late, but sounds like you guys had a lot of fun
Thanks for joining us, let us know how many variations you got! It was a lot of fun practice 😂
@@balletreign I literally arrived at the end and got Carmen, which I got immediately because I love the opera and I know it by heart. I will rewatch the whole thing to play along :)
Good for you!! You obviously saw just how familiar we are with Carmen 😂
Loveee itttt!
Thank you so much! 💕
Omg I love love love your choice of little video clips!! They’re all absolutely spectacular performances. Who danced the Kitri variation?
Thank you thank you! Kitri act 3 var was danced by Olessya Novikova 😊
Man, I didn't get even one! Fun game though
Thanks for playing along, glad you had fun! 😅 Hope it introduced you to some new ballets ;)
Male variations for Part II!
Thanks for your vote! This will be much harder but we’re up for the challenge! Lol
Brilliant channel~ TY xo
Awww thank U! 🥹🥹
Nina Ananiashvili did the one that sounds like a male variation in one of her tours in the 90s. Watched those videos too many times lol.
But one excellent pas de deux in the videos is elizabeth platel doing...ugh, forgot the ballet! Oh! Grand Pas Classique!!!
Hahahaha we all have one of those vids on repeat lol. Platel is STUNNING 🤩
@@balletreign I know! Yeah so rewatchable. Oh I have another story for you... Ever see the Romeo and Juliet proposal with sf ballet around 2010? I took it. Was also a student featured in an add for af ballet in the 70s. Have a bad copy framed lol
That was fun , ladies❤
Yay! Glad you could play song with us. How did you do? :)
@@balletreign 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BADLY
Actually, there are two Coppélias.
In the original one created by Arthur Saint-Léon in Paris 1870 and danced by Giuseppina Bozzachi, this variation is in the third act ok, but it is Franz’s variation according to Pierre Lacotte who settled the forgotten ballet for the Paris Opéra company in 1974.
Thanks for sharing!! 🙌🏻✨😁
❤
Love the intro
It's so hard to do! I also obsessed over ballet videos my whole childhood but in the 1990s there were maybe 10 videos available. Some from the library and others that I recorded on VHS when they were on tv.
I am not a ballerina but I watch YAGP every year...
1. didn't get it
2. la Bayadere 3rd shade (one of my favs)
3. flames of Paris
4. sleeping beauty blue fairy
5. don Quixote
6. don't know
7. cupid don Quixote (one of my least favs as a spectator lol)
8. don't know (Laurencia is a rare variation in yagp)
9. ugh I sang the whole song but couldn't remember le corsaire :(
10. paquita
11. le corsaire
12. paquita (the one with all the leaps, that sounds male)
13. la fil mal gardée
14. coppelia
15. don't know (another lesser performed one in yagp)
16. sleeping beauty(?) (ugh Raymonda lol)
17. no idea lol (again, I could sing it, but couldn't get don Quixote :( )
18. flower festival(?)- (ah a lesser known paquita)
19. no clue
Wow, great job on this! 😁😁 Thanks for sharing your list. Watching variations is a great way to learn and you absorb so much. We hope to do more like this :)
😂 Just one, Carmen ( ad a cuban I saw it many many times)
Haha so funny that that’s the one Eden rlly couldn’t get 😂. Good job!! ✨✨
Except for cinderella I got everything, and I'm a dude 😂
Welcome, and amazing job! A true ballet nerd lol. Thanks for watching and sharing! 😅
You two are adorable and delightful! Are these variations all on RUclips?
Yup, all on RUclips! You’re so kind, thank you so much 🥹❤️
This was so entertaining! And is this common knowledge among ballerinas?? lol
Not sure about the first note, but yea the classical ballet variations are pretty well known amongst ballet dancers ☺️💕
Hmmmmm that wasn’t the Lise variation that I know from the Royal Ballet version. I’ve never heard or seen that variation before.
Wow, it was amazing how many ballets you know and how many you could guess! I haven't even watched Laurencia, so how I should recognize it (;
I got only the Sleeping beauty, Coppelia and Cinderella right.
I see you have probably a preference for certain ballets, as much there had been for example Don Quixote, or you indeed only tried to find the toughest things to guess (;. I wish there would have been more Tchaikosvky, this would have perhaps improved my score (;
Thanks so much! You did amazing, yes, Jordan definitely tried to find the toughest ones lol Next time, we will try to include more Tchaikovsky 😊
@@balletreign This would be awesome - especially as there are so many beautiful and iconic variations in Tchaikovsky's ballets (though, there are always personal preferences, as I'm simply not so much team Minkus and I don't see it as much from a dancer's view, but rather with story focus;-and of course, also Delibes, Prokofiev and Adam should not be underrated (; ). I would have guessed (almost) all these variations from (only) the picture (yet, not through the music), and I have also recognized various productions , such like Raymonda is from La Scala, Cinderella from Royal Ballet, Sleeping Beauty Royal Ballet, Le Corsaire from Mariinsky or Coppelia from Bolshoi Ballet. I'm not sure whether this is easier as the music or not, but perhaps this could be also a dancer game idea (;
i got carmen!! proud of myself for that one🙏
me divirto sempre!!!
So do we!! We love playing games with y’all ✨🙌🏻😁
So I was literally celebrating in my car cause I got the Laurence’s variation correct 😭😭😭 that was a hard one but I love that variation it is very expressive I wish my leaps were like some of the girls cause I feel like u really need to leaps for that.
Woohoo! Great job! 🎉. Laurencia is def a challenger in terms of stamina, but it can really be a showstopper if you nail it. 👏👏👏
What is the music used for the background in the beginning and end- it is so familiar, it’s killing me!
hi guys, absolutely love your channel! i have been looking for the Paquita variation shown at 8:11 I think for over an hour! I was just wondering what number it is or maybe a name to narrow my search thank youuuuuuuu 💕💕
Aww that is so sweet! Thanks sm! 🥹❤️ Try looking up “paquita variation 7” on RUclips. Hope that helps!
@@balletreign yes thank you smmmm
забавно что с первой секунды узнала только кармен, ахахахаха
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah,, I got the La Bayadere! Made my day, Dog just ate a dead fish 🐟, I was all grrrr 😖. Now I’m happy 😃. Thank you girls. Guess I’m cheating, did see this last year. 🩰🩰🩰🩰🩰👵🇦🇺
