The best part - they actually used the classical music and the costume throughout the whole dance. I was afraid she was gonna do what always happens in the Talent shows - person starts dancing or playing classical music, everybody acts bored, then they drop the bass, pop music starts blasting, the classical dance turns into something else entirely and the crowd goes wild. So glad they didnt bait it with this one. It looks beautiful
agreed!! despite me loving tchaikovsky's swan lake theme a lot, i think saint-saëns' "the swan" is very befitting anf the performance was absolutely stunning
Yes! I hate it when they do that!
I love how much respect you have for us pole dancers. Most of us come from a traditional dance background with many of us having left traditional dance because of industry *trauma*. But then we also run into traditional dancers who look down on pole because of its ties to s*x work so it's just all around sad when people can't be equally happy for each other in their chosen art form
She's my 'pole-rina' idol (pole dancer + ballerina = pole-rina!) Her white swan routine was a guest performance at the UK Professional Pole Championships - I watched it live and she's even more stunning in person, if that's possible!! She originally danced with the National Ballet of Canada and just oozes class and elegance - such a beautiful dancer 😍
Can you tell me the original video for white swan I can't find it
The fact that she’s able to wear her beautiful costume (and pointe shoes) and still be able to climb and use her feet as contact points? This girl is AMAZING. Incredible.
as someone that comes from a family of pole dancers i can truly say that this is amazing and needs a lot of talent! i love your channel!! ♥️
“Ahhhh there’s a pole!! Idk where we’re going with this, that’s why she’s so buff!!!” That made me smile 😅
I think this is just redefining pole dancing as an art. It’s like taking ballet and putting it on levels on each turn around the pole. Like taking the stage to the air.
I love this I could watch it all day.
Just wanted to thank this channel for being open minded in what this artistic sport can be, in all of its facets. I love that this channel isn’t boxed-in on what is beauty or talent in dance.
Pole dancers are insanely strong and graceful. Ballet is such a good pairing for it. She is really amazing. I love when combined genres result in something so wonderful.
That's absolutely insane! I already thought ballet was difficult, but just recently (this past Monday!) began taking classes myself and watching this now feels like she achieved the impossible. It's so easy to misjudge the amount of strength required to do what she does, more so when she makes it look easy and always has a smile on her face. So inspiring!
Also, as a side note - thank you for creating this channel, Josephine (as well as everyone involved behind the scenes)! Learning ballet is something I wanted to do ever since I was a child, and it was a dream I had given up already because being 27 it felt too old to start, but finding out about you and watching some of your videos these days gave me the push I needed to go after it. So far, I'm pretty bad at it but I enjoy it a lot!
oh wow! Good job on taking ballet classes as an (assumed) adult! Good luck and don't give up
There isn’t a bad ballerina. There’s only ballerinas who haven’t found their groove, yet. You’ve got this! Keep us all posted!
yessss I'm so happy you started!! too often I see comments saying they've always wanted too, but it's too late now, but it's never too late to start!! it might be a bit harder, but keep working hard and you've got this!! best of luck on your ballet journey
Yes! 38 and just started a few months ago.. I'd always wanted to take classes but had never been given the opportunity. We can do this!
if you think about it though. Its not a misjudge. The whole idea is to make it look effortless. This goes for a lot of talents.
I feel you with the "upper body strength of a kitten" comment, except my cat definitely has more of it than me 😂
I was gonna say, I’d be stoked to have the upper body strength of any of my cats. I’d be leveling up. 😂
Damn! The sheer strength and grace this woman has to be able to do all of that and make it look like something just about anyone can do is astounding. She did it all so effortlessly that you can tell the amount of work she put into those routines.
I love Elena, she teaches in London!
I’ve been WAITING for this forever.!!! I’m a dancer (spicy dancer/wannabe ballerina) and I started wearing my pointe shoes at work about a year ago (the club lol) and I enjoy it so sooo much.! I don’t have anyone to partner with me, so I figured the pole would give me a fair start at learning some new, fun, and challenging moves, and possibly create something new.. I’m so happy that you did a reaction video to her.! she’s incredibly talented.! I discovered her during work one day, desperately looking for inspiration.. her passion, artistry, and strength has motivated me to not only explore my creativity in dance, but also to change my lifestyle.. I’ve gotten healthier, started working on dance at home, taking barre at home, working en pointe any chance I can and I truly believe I’ve learned and grown so much from it.! I’m far from being half decent, but the joy and excitement is worth it all.! honestly, I’ve been dealing with a continuous spiral of depression, and unfortunately I still am.. thankfully , work and ballet continues to give me something almost indescribable.. it’s more than something to look forward to, it’s more than just a fun time; more so discipline and patience over everything, as well as self motivation, determination, strength (mentally & physically,) and the ability to find and develop artistry.. as well as a broad community of amazing people, mentors, role models, future, current, and retired dancers, teachers, choreographers, musicians, adult dancers, professional or not, ballet companies around the world, and the amazing pointe shoe fitters like you and your team who give someone like myself the ability to dance happy and safely.. I’m so incredibly thankful for people like you that not only create awesome , entertaining content, but share experiences and educate all of us.! you’re truly a gem.! 💎✨💕
The show in the second half is called "Beat the Best" it's a dutch tv-show from 2012 that aired only 9 episodes. The premise is that candidates compete against each other in three catagories: music, dance and ~variety~ (whatever that means). Turns out it wasn't very popular because it never continued after that first season.
I just love Josephine's 😱 reactions to everything and at the same time she's so kind and respectful to everyone. You can just see how much she appreciates the art and dedication people put into what they do
Elena is stunning! Both as a pole dancer AND a ballet dancer. Can we just make note (as per her Wikipedia page) - she is 45 years old!!!!
thank you so much for reacting to this video! I’m a pole fitness instructor with a ballet background and I love when the two blend together! pole is so cool bc you can literally do it in ANY style you want and it can be fun and beautiful
I have been spamming this video for ages hoping she would react to it! Elena also teaches pole!
Wow! I'm very impressed, this is beautiful. Normally I hate it when choreographies get done different, but this is amazing.
👏👏Brava! 👏👏She took her talent in each discipline, ballet and pole dancing, and combined and elevated her routine. It was stunning. The impact of a pole routine would be different without the story and techniques on the ballet and pointe side, just as I think the pole skills and strengths allowed Ms. Gibson to create beautiful illusions that the swans actually fly. This was artistry, creativity, and darn hard work paying off.
Those performances were stunning!!! The grace and strength… just wow.
This makes me want to do ballet again at 40!!!! I love watching your reactions, really make my days full of humor and something to look forward to. This is just too much!!! 🤭💖
I love this video so much! As a pole dance instructor and someone who discovered ballet very late as an adult I can only dream of moving this graceful but it is always just mesmerizing to watch. Love that You reacted to this! Pole Dance unfortunately often gets "the wrong" kind of attention and I am always happy when people recognize the art and also the athletic aspects of this. That You tried it out Yourself makes it even better!
Thank You :)
Another recommendation for ballet and pole combination is Peter Holda. He‘s my idol and I love his grace along with his strength!
Two of the girls at the studio I train at just did pole ballet routines. So magical
I was a pole dancer for 13yrs. You start off weak as a kitten but you develop strength.
When you first start you are also covered in bruises. Places you did not think it was possible to bruise. 😆
Pole sports are criminally underrated! This was amazing
I loved both routines remained so balletic the entire time. I've seen some routines that start out in pointe shoes looking very classical, but shift to be more burlesque (which isn't a bad thing!) but seeing the technique remain so classical was gorgeous.
Gosh these ladies really did look at swan lake and go “no thanks gents, I’ll do my own lifts” like damn.
This performance actually brought me to tears. So absolutely amazing.
The strength and beauty of those routines! Can't love this enough.
#goals
Do not forget the flexibility. Those casual splits and side splits are not something that anyone can do.
That was really nice. I enjoyed how tasteful she made it. I couldn't even begin to imagine the body strength needed to do pole work. I did ballet for a few years and certainly know the strength needed to do just normal ballet let alone how steady she held herself while on the pole. Bravo.
I was wondering if this was Elena and sure enough it was her. She is absolutely amazing and her story is so inspiring
Love her and Justine McLucas, too
So much strength AND grace! Absolutely beautiful!
What incredible strength! 😳
The dancer is Elena Gibson I believe. The black swan part is from a Dutch television show called beat the best.
PS: yes I wrote this before watching the entire video...
It's dutch, I am from the netherlands and I saw timor steffens, he is a dutch dancer and does dance shows.
The show is "beat the best"
Woah. The slip on the pointe shoes makes this even more amazing!
So I not only do ballet, I also do pole dance as well and today in pole class I did pole while wearing my pointe shoes.....omg it was so fun plus the other girls don't do ballet so of course I was center of attention.
I have a burlesque friend whose a professional ballerina and she did burlesque back in December sugar plum fairy ON POINT TWIRLING HER TASSELS. I couldn’t stop screaming it was SO good. Soooo good. I have videos of it if you’re ever curious lol
Stage poles are shockingly VERY stable. and the iron x the black swan did at the end is one of the hardest moves you can perform and she did it in a pike.
The show is from the Netherlands!!! It's some kind of talent show from here but idk which one 'cause we have so many but i recognise the judges! These dancers are incredible, so talented!
She’s just incredibly strong omg! Also would love to see you reacting to Barbie in the Pink Shoes, since you’re a pointe shoe fitter 😂
I did pole once for a 4 week intro course and let me tell you how much i hurt after my first class! All my upper arms, shoulder, forearms and even my hands were aching! But on the plus side, my pole teacher asked me if i did any other dance and i said yes ballet, and she said you can tell :) so looks like pole and ballet can go hand in hand :)
I think pole moves look so much better with the turnout and arm carriage ballet encourages you to use, it’s great. I did like ballet classes for a little while.i I also like lyrical pole
That was just the most amazing performance ever!💜
🤯 it’s so beautiful! I got goosebumps.
Oh my GAWD!!!! This was absolutely stunning
Her muscle control is fantastic. Steady as a rock.
I haven't been able to do anything involving lots of upper body strength since shattering my upper humerus. I really admire her power and stability.
I've reached the point where I'm trying to do chin-ups. Come join me at the overhead barre. It's just a question of building the strength over time.
I just started watching and I have to say, I'm in LOOOOOOVE with your earrings 😍😍
How much strength especially upper body must this dancer have! 2 of the most difficult dances and she looks stunningly beautiful doing so.
Omg I love your channel
That was sooo beautiful 😍😍
The 2nd video is of the TV-show "Beat the best" it aired in The Netherlands in 2012
THANK YOU! couldn't figure it out!
Oh oh there's a pole I see where we're going with this now I know why she's so buff was funny🤣🤣
That is the best pole dance EVER !!!
Stage poles always move a bit (by stage poles I don't mean every pole that is on a stage, I mean these that have a little platform at the bottom and aren't anchored to the ceiling), it's scary as hell to be on them but they won't fall over if they're assembled correctly and you're using them correctly :)
That's such a great mashup, this should be taught
Unlike hiplet this is something I can get behind. She's using both of her skills properly, instead of half-@ssing both of them.
I still like hiplet, but boy that is the truest statement ever!!
Fantastic new interpretation of the music. I’d like to see her on a stage with multiple poles with lots pf movement between them. Or a whole forest of them with synchronized polling…
I love your videos, you helped me to not give up on my pointe dreams!❤️ second!
Hey! U asked which country: the netherlands. It's a talent show and she is amazing for sure!
2:39 I remember this music from my childhood (I’m not saying it’d FROM I just know it from) this music was from Leap! A movie about dance and it was one of my faves when I was a kid and I remember that this music was used for Clara and the nutcracker in the movie
Aaaaaaah you did itt!!!!! So excited!!!!
Thank you for thinking that we have such a good show in Germany ❤ with such incredible dancers, but unfortunately that's not the case😅, but our beer is super good.🇩🇪🍻
I think the show is from Canada❤🎉
This is AWESOME!❤
Such talent😌
Wow they are so beautiful 😻👍❤️❤️
I believe the "Black Swan" performance was from "Russia's Got Talent".
Oh that was so beautiful.
Would love a reaction to Le Bien Qui Fait Mal from Mozart L'Opera Rock! It's a French musical about Mozart but they specifically hire ballerinas for the dance ensemble!
Yeah, Elena Gibson is an absolute legend!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you, thank you, thank you, this first part is so beautiful. The music, how slow and gracious. Amazing! I cried almost the performance! Ill be honest, when I was a young man I always want to become a dancer. I was slender and tall, and loved classical music. I'll do my best to become slender again, and become an older shy dancer. Thank you hon for this amazing video. greetings from me a rainbow bear from the Netherlands
Bro how, I can barley stand up in the morning!😂
i was so worried that the pole was going to tip over too!
I love your videos 💕
Literally me, I'm a dancer and I can't even do a push up
Incredible
This reminds me of the little ballerina in the jewellery box we all got as a kid
She don’t need a man to partner when she got a pole 👏🏻 she’s so insanely strong 💪🏻 she absolutely has to work so hard. Good for her! Especially in point shoes on the pole. Usually you want grip because it’s slippery and that’s why pole dancers wear very little. To grip the pipe. And to be sexy of course. But especially for the grip. So if they’re also wearing tights. Omg. So slippery! 👏🏻 amazing jobs
Amazing!
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I was wondering you know anyone that i can dance the nutcracker with lol so random
For the black swan lady /girl she has the same first name as me !!!
That was so gorgeous! 💞💞💞
love you sm
Ohh I think the country is the netherlands lol because I saw Timor Steffens was one of the judges haha :)
Just absolutely beautiful and so elegant. My husband and I went to a show with a pole dancer and it completely turned both of us off the skill. The athlete was very good and talented but is was just so sleazy it was horrible . This makes the sport something above and beautiful
this looks fun (coming from a ballerina)
"i had upper body strength of a kitten" i dont think u know exactly what u just said 😹 i ve raised two litters of kittens since birth and at just a few weeks of age they are climbing and leaping like spidermen all over the place; impossible to control 😂 they are strong lil creatures 😊
It’s a dance competition from The Netherlands
Josephine in every other reaction video: pretty feet. Pretty.
Josephine in this reaction video: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!
This is Romania’s got talent
Cool 😊
When you’re so early you don’t know what to say
I’m the 1 thousandth like! Also, this is GORGEOUS…
Maybe it's already been said, but that first sequence on the pole is maybe a bit of an inside joke. That position with the inner leg wrapped around the inside of the pole opposite hand overhead -- one of the names for it is "ballerina".
Josephine should try amazon pointe shoes and toe pads!
She has I’m pretty sure
@@Bibblesupremacy1992 I mean actually buy them and wear them
If I ever tried pole dancing they'd pay me to get OFF the stage. 🤷🏼♀️
I love your videos and I’m finally early
Not checked comments but I think this is from Ukraine Got Talent or one of the countries that has Russian/Greek derivative alphabet that I can't read but LOVE their dancers.
Beat the best is a dutch show if i am not mistaken.
Are you still doing virtual fittings? If so I would like to have a fitting for Demi point shoes.
