Filmed in 2014-2015 The hard work dancers are putting in day after day is simply remarkable and very inspiring Filmed and edited by Dancersdiary @dacersdiaty films
I'm possibly a little biased (proud Australian here) but there is something so unique and simply breathtaking about this beautiful man and the way in which he moves...such clean lines ..flawless technique and seemingly effortless precision ...utterly sublime ...
Sans effort, je ne sais pas ! Je suis une ancienne gymnaste. Ce résultat est un travail de tous les jours. Il faut qu’il fasse ses assouplissements pour ne pas perdre le moindre centimètre dans ses courbures. En fait, il n’arrête jamais. Là, il lui faut un mental d’acier. Le résultat est sublime.
As an ex dancer myself and coming from a family of dancers ,I know how hard he works and the innate talent this man has .He is just brilliant .I wasn’t meaning to offend anyone ,I just wanted to acknowledge how amazing he is ,not only with ballet but all dance styles.He will become a legend.
He looks like an ancient greek sculpture. I mean he doesn’t look ancient, obviously but his body is just so defined. Very talented young man. 👏 I don’t even want to know how many hours he practices.
A wonderful meditation on one of the premier ballet dancers of his generation. His speed, power and control are almost preternatural. So glad his work has been documented so clearly. Many generations of dancers will watch this.
Really really beautiful. No narration needed . . . It's a shame my father was such a typical macho prick, because as a child I had real talent and ability for ballet. My mother enrolled me in ballet classes but my father opposed. After about a year I dropped out because he made me feel embarrassed. I remember once we went to see the national ballet and clapping effusively and looking over at my father giving me the evil eye and long face. That shut me down completely. I sometimes wonder what I might have become if I had had the support of my father....
@@judymanning2538 Thank you. I'm sure there are many other men with similar experiences. Fortunately I have other talents and abilities that I was able to develop, but I'll always wonder "what if" I could have pursued a career as a ballet dancer.
Gorgeous legs, gorgeous feet, gorgeous technique, gorgeous dancer and is as limber as a woman. He is so splendid my jaw has dropped. The most gorgeous cabrioles I have ever seen in my life. Every step he performs is on such a high technical level.
I’m an old lady now, so I’m allowed to give you all some of life’s wisdom; It is impossible to dance and be depressed simultaneously, I’ve tried it for 40 years, and it is not possible. This is reason good enough to start dancing. No age, gender or size can prevent you from dancing, only you can, and it is not a good life if you don’t dance some steps every day. So allow yourself to dance, and you will discover a new world, new emotions and pure happiness. I have danced while being morbidly obese, while being pregnant, while being underweight, and while being in bed for years with severe disabilities. Rhythm knows no limits. I danced with my hands and fingers for five years while being linked to a bed. I danced at age 40: 50 and 60. My friend is 80 and is still dancing every day. Although I had plenty of reasons to be depressed, it is physiological impossible to be depressed if you dance. Do not EVER let someone tell you that you are too fat or too thin, or too old or have the wrong gender to dance. Do not let anyone tell you that you have two left legs and no rhythm, that only means you have your own rhythm and funny feet. There are hundreds of different styles of dance out there, meaning there are a style for everyone, or you can invent your own. Dancing together is more fun than dancing alone so consider doing it with someone else. Happy dancing!!
This is just what I needed to hear. Am 66 and returned to ballet after 40 years. Still in love with it but have put weight on since stopping smoking ( now addicted to chocolate instead of nicotine) and hate my body. However you are right in that dancing outweighs the depression. Will continue doing what I love - albeit a bit more slowly with my metal knee and ankle.
I agree with @almostthere2516! I started dancing at 6 months old, while sitting on my mother's lap, whenever an Elvis song played on the radio - I'm old too. I danced semiprofessionally, got my degrees in dance and dance history, just retired from teaching elementary school where I volunteered after school to lead dance clubs or create school variety shows for almost every one of my 28 years working - and it's still not enough. At 66 years old, I grin throughout my classes at the gym where I'm learning new styles of dance and having a blast! I hate exercise but when you get to dance to your favorite music, your body releases endorphins and you can't help but feel happier than you would have otherwise.
@@1.6.52, посмотрите интервью с Цискаридзе. То место, когда он рассказывает, как он лежал в больнице с травмой ноги, и что ему ответил хирург, оперировавший его! Не стоит обсценивать труд артистов балета! Каждый хорош на своём месте!
@@1.6.52Очень однобокое мнение.Каждый рожден для своего дела,кто для хирургии,кто для пекарни и т.д.Пусть талантливые люди находят свой путь и только свой.Цискаридзе лучший в балете,но кто знает,что б он делал на другом месте?Люди должны заниматься своим делом.И только тогда будут такие вот бриллианты в профессии.
Geez, he has a great center for his turns! It is so satisfying to watch someone look at themselves in the mirror and then put their foot down instead of falling out of the turn. Almost as good as doing it yourself 😊 And can we talk about how his shoulders NEVER went up when he was doing his grand jete turns in the center? 🥰
I've always liked Steven McRae - great dancer with rock solid technique. Think we wear the same brand of shoes but that's where the similarity stops. Great beats and entrechats.
Pure poetry in motion. Ballet is so very tough on the body and when see him land on that hard floor creating shock waves from up the feet oh my! PLANTAR FASCIITIS.
I studied ballet for 17 years and was defeated at the last moment by injury. It’s an extremely physical life and I’m so happy to see this young man achieving his dreams by talent and enormously hard work ❤️
I am so sorry you had to deal with this cruel blow. I hope this does not sound trite, but I think participating in the arts, regardless of outcome beyond our control, is a victory all its own. I have yet to successfully publish a full-length novel in any wide-based manner, but sharing my work (excerpts, plus poetry and non-fiction) with individuals, on-line, and at readings, and enjoying great works of art to me is a wonderful way to live. You are go gracious and such a beautiful spirit your joy and happiness for this gentleman. VERY best wishes to you!
do u mean before joining the corp whilst still in your school or when in the company or even shortly before making principle sorry for the question im dead curious....was the injury so bad there was no way to fix it ?what kind of injury was it ? was it possible to play through the pain ? because i danced on my injury till i got permanently fucked more or less adhd and injury destroyed me as a dancer mate
You have contributed to the world of dance by your commitment, your diverse talents and physical and emotional strength. Take this from someone who admites those wualities. Forge on !!
I’ve always thought ballet dancers have the best physique because they have muscle, they’re toned, they’re flexible - and always well proportioned. What dedication tho. I can’t even get my head around how he can move like that.
If a UFO landed here and Aliens watched this they might think we can all do this. 😂. I know this is random but this is otherworldly in terms of dance. Amazing!
A lot of potential? Dude, he's the principal dancer with the Royal London Ballet. He's already in the highest upper echelons of dance, it's hardly possible to get higher.
Hola, soy argentina, siempre lo veo en sus clases diarias , lo admiro mucho y que aunque lejos, la capacidad de entendimiento que así es la vida de los bailarines un estilo de vida, para siempre. He bailado muchos años, y ya soy grande, jubilada, pero amo la danza y los veo siempre que puedo. Dios lo bendiga por dar tanto bienestar al alma❤
At sixty I find your exercise routine familiar watching for the first time, realising how far I still have to go, it maybe a little late to go all the way❤
Steven's dancing is flawless. It's a brilliant work of art. I wish men's ballet would ditch the naked tights and wear more masculine attire. More men would be interested in it.

This Tutorial should-be-offered to Every Boys P.E. Class in High School.
"Do" try-this-at-Home, Dudes !
Dancers at this high level are such incredible athletes! Poetry in motion!
Perfect comment.

Балет это тяжелый, ежедневный труд. Ноги артистов балета, как стальные прутья, нагрузка от прыжков колоссальная!

I’m really sorry to hear that :(
@@rebeccafriedman3502 thank you . . .
I too am sorry that that happened to you. 🍀
I had talent as a child aswell but my mother for some unexplained reason decided to send my sister to ballet lessons instead.
@@judymanning2538 Thank you. I'm sure there are many other men with similar experiences. Fortunately I have other talents and abilities that I was able to develop, but I'll always wonder "what if" I could have pursued a career as a ballet dancer.
He is just lovely to watch. Sometimes a dancer has that extra something and he has it.
Великолепный танцовщик, лучший танцовщик нашего времени! Всегда восхищаюсь его мастерством! ❤❤❤
ты серьезно? человек без базовых знаний элементов, даже в 5 позицию встать не может.. "ну тебя же снимают, чел"
@@fandomanieyo7564 Ти наверное бот? Посмотри клас Royal Opera, где танцует Стивен. Без 5 позиции такие антраша не сделаешь! 🤩
He's amazing he's so dedicated his body says it all he's a joy to watch
Gorgeous legs, gorgeous feet, gorgeous technique, gorgeous dancer and is as limber as a woman. He is so splendid my jaw has dropped. The most gorgeous cabrioles I have ever seen in my life. Every step he performs is on such a high technical level.
I could watch this man just stretch. He makes it look effortless. Love you Mr.McRae

His turnout in 5th after the rond de jambes then into arabesque took my breath away. Perfect body alignment!!!!
And then he started floor work and I’m blown away. Where have I been?!
My deepest respect for all classical dancers. Almost beyond my imagination what you can do and how extremely hard you are working for your art. Bravo!

They work unbelievably hard at their craft, don’t they. Very enjoyable thank you 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
His back is so straight! His posture is impeccable 😮😮😮
His work ethic is amazing and he is just poetry in motion. I am not really a ballet lover but I could watch him dance 24/7
ROMÂNIA /🧚♂️ ✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️ 2021 - 🤩 💪🍀💗🍀💪 🕊️🙌
Wow, the dedication, the stamina, the art. Bravo.
Great self -respect, listening to his own body, taking care, showing patience getting that control over his physicality.
1:22 that is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
One of the greatest male dancers of our time!!!
The man is an absolute beast.
Forever one of my favourites! His work ethic is so admirable and inspiring!!
A master at work. I stopped breathing as l was watching perfection. Marvellous. Thank you so much.
Right! I appreciated the silence so much. A mastery of craft, truly

In awe and agog. The dancing, the staging, the music, and I cannot detect a camera at all. Well done all!
this dancer is amazing!! I enjoy to see him dancing every time I go to the Royal Opera House
It is wonderful. His body speaks in a perfect language. Thank you so much!
It’s like gravity doesn’t exist for him. It looks so effortless, absolutely stunning.
Beautiful - I've just got cramp watching it. His training is poetry in motion. Superb. Love this.
So very impressive. Such a joy to watch. The discipline 💚🍀
Wow perfection does exist! Stunning 😍 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Is this perfection AFTER his Achilles’ tendon injury? Amazing and remarkable! 🙏🙏🙏
hey, that was filmed before his injury
@@DancersDiary Thanks for clarification. I suspected as much. I am wishing him all the best in his recovery.
How’s Steven doing, recovering from his injury? Praying for him!🙏
It's after his first semi-rupture but before the 2nd injury
Великолепен и безупречен.

2 years later, but now that I´ve found this vide I want to say THANKS FOR SHARING A DAY OF A DANCER, , BRAVO! Greetings from MEXICO
If a UFO landed here and Aliens watched this they might think we can all do this. 😂. I know this is random but this is otherworldly in terms of dance. Amazing!
Amazing athlete amazing performer, amazing talent brilliant technician but all melded together with hard hard consistent training
An absolute treat to watch! Such dedication to the art!! Cheers
I love his breathing pattern during the bar work. explosive almost.
Such a beautiful dancer with amazing talent!
Адский труд. Удачи и только удачи, побед ✌️ ✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just unbelievable commitment and dedication. xx
Just watching him is fascinating the had work is gruelling bless him.👏👏
Wow he is amazing it's art in motion
Just beautiful to watch. power strength and artistry. Thanks for posting.
Amazing ❤️
SM is always extraordinary on stage, a superb dancer and partner, a joy to watch.
Remarkable technique and at the same time musical without an instrument aside from his body.
From someone who knows nothing about ballet, I find this interesting.
Très impressionnant. Une discipline extrêmement exigeante . Vidéo révélatrice des réalités d’un danseur classique.
Sorprendentemente hermosa su disciplina y destacadísino profesionalismo !!!
Wonderful, wonderful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mesmerizing...
Genius, simply genius 😍💕🌷
Waouhhh very very impressive, the quality of workkkkk close to perfection
Magnifico artista: grande danza e interpretazione e bella l'atmosfera del video.
Adorei quero fazer parte!! Aprender e melhorar !o como proceder?
He’s the type of guy that makes ballet look like an action movie
Он восхитителен!!!❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰
YOU ARE A REMARKABLE DANCER WITH A LOT OF POTENTIAL. MORE LOVE AND SUPPORT TO YOU. GUY. TAKE CARE.

Абалдеть!!!. Я пока смотрела, три раза вспотела....
I love ballet, and even married an ex- professional ballet dancer. He is a cab driver now, but we speak the same language, 25 years married.
Oh Yes and he is a great singer too baci x
When he is in the air it’s like the laws of gravity are not in play…incredible!👍
I love him so much and pray he will dance again in October.
When they say actions speak louder than words . Stunning
He's also a quite superb tap dancer. It's a little greedy to have *that* much talent! 😊
Steven's dancing is flawless. It's a brilliant work of art. I wish men's ballet would ditch the naked tights and wear more masculine attire. More men would be interested in it.
I read that men used to wear breeches over the tights.
Amazing!🎉❤
exceptionally talented!
THIS GENTLEMAN IS VERY VERY GOOD. BEAUTIFUL.
Wundervoll...großartiger Tänzer
That warm up was amazing
Антраша Стивена блистательны! ❤❤❤
Incredible strength, flexibility + mobility. Respect + admiration to this man.
He seems very disciplined and it shows in his technique. What a beautiful, talented artist
Труд танцора - труд молотобойца. Когда каждая мышца твоего тела тебе подвластна и тебя слушается ....это кайф
Oh my GOD 😳😳😳🎉🎉🎉🎉.genius
Extraordinary
Beautiful to see!
Omg world class
Шикарный,ноги,точность,пируэты...
He has the most perfect ballet body. I love his legs and feet.
Amazing skills and training. This guy could be in special forces or ninja combat. His jock looks like it could withstand a cannonball.
Супер! Молодец! Так продолжайте. Я вами восхищаюсь. Впервые я наслаждаясь движениями мужчины в балете.
Perfection!
Какие же они красивые. Все)
Very wonderful!!!!!
