The music for this particular act of the ballet Elite Syncopations was written, apparently, by Scott Joplin, somewhere in 1902. It reminded me right away of the score for The Sting (Paul Newman, Robert Redford), by Marvin Hamlisch. It looks like Hamlisch found inspiration in Scott's sound, then made it his own. The score for The Sting is one of the finest and the most memorable in the history of movie making.
It's a one act ballet. The whole collection of dances are based on Joplin's Rags - hence the title. The theme of the costumes has remained unaltered, as has the presence, on stage, of the orchestra, in costume, and conducted from the piano.
Me encanta la suavidad y delicadeza interpretativa de este magnífico cuadro. Los intérpretes, por igual, se tocan con guante de seda. Perfecta sincronía !!!
Very beautifull. I have seen other versions but this one is my favourite The subtlety of the measured movements and lifts and their facial expressions gives a very special character.
So I read in the comments that the female dancer is named Sarah Lamb. I am just fascinated by how extraordinarily beautiful her face and figure are, and how effortlessly she moves. Bravo!
Я так понимаю, что мне не одному кажется, что дама без нижнего белья!? Без шуток, и пластика и музыка бесспорно прекрасны! Но первое, меня увлекло первым!😁
I guess all of you ballet dancers know that Kenneth MacMillan was a British ballet dancer and choreographer, and this dance "number" was arranged by him. I was confused because I'm not a ballet dancer, but I love Scott Joplin's piano rags and know them well. The title of this particular piece by Joplin is "Bethena" and not "Elite Syncopations." But I guess Mr. MacMillan was more taken by the title "Elite Syncopations" and so used it for the title of this dancing number. "Bethena" is actual a "concert waltz" by Joplin and not a rag. "Elite Syncopations" is a rag, and it's a "doozy"--I highly recommend the Nonesuch recordings by Joshua Rifkin of the Joplin rags--they are "the gold standard" for me, recordings that I've never tired of hearing. Cheers to one and all!
Thank you for your explanations. Did not know Scott Joplin, but "the Entertainer" is well known. The two dancers are marvellous, in some parts they dance like in slow motion.
'Elite Syncopations' was used by MacMillan as the title for his one act ballet of several Joplin rags, now traditionally performed with he same costumes and with the orchestra (also in costume) on stage and conducted from the piano. It's become a rite of passage for many leading members of the Royal Ballet.
This is a slow dance, a romantic moment between the two. Think of it as a slow ballroom dance that is adapted for ballet. It is not a circus act with multiple spins and high jumps.
Interesting outfits they are adorned with; peculiar in fact. I don't believe I've ever seen that manner of dress anywhere. The tights yes, but not festooned as these are. Almost look like bobsledders.
It is all by the Black American composer and pianist Scott Joplin ( 1868-1917)- he became famous for his ragtime compositions, of which he wrote over 100.
My internet provider said I can have fast speed and down load cap for an extra 60 bucks I said what how about lets just cancel it all for free how does that make you feel ? He said sir I hope you won't do that . I said I thinking I will do something soon.
Lovely piece.....and, my word, Sarah Lamb is stunning!
Très beaux costumes, magnifique représentation,personnages magnifiques bravos ❤❤❤❤
Impressed by the number of "experts" in this chat. I may have been their only reader and I regret it. This piece is compelling and sweet, well done!

Hamlisch simply took Scott Joplin's work.

This is pure art! Everything in it is pure beauty. I could watch it almost forever
i feel ballet is one of the few things out there that you can watch everyday for the rest of your life and you won't get bored of it.
So good and she was incredible! She makes everything look so smooth and easy.

Девочка красавица. Приятно смотреть на красивых людей.
This is by far the best ensemble in recent years. The BBC produced it years ago but no trace remains of the tape, a great loss.
It's on You tube.
I have this On DVD. Sarah Lamb at her best.
Very beautifull.
I have seen other versions but this one is my favourite

Слов нет.только смотреть и радоваться.
This is "Bethena, A Concert Waltz" (Ragtime-waltz) by Scott Joplin, from 1905.
So I read in the comments that the female dancer is named Sarah Lamb. I am just fascinated by how extraordinarily beautiful her face and figure are, and how effortlessly she moves. Bravo!
Костюм танцовщицы отличный! Видно ее идеальное тело! Как будто она без ничего ниже пояса!
Человек Бухарский. Где Вы увидели костюм?🤔
What a great channel! Awesome videos!
Absolutely top class.
Шикарная звёздочка!
На лосинах.❤🎉
I was completely unaware I had a crush on Sarah lamb. But evidently I do. Thank you for helping me with this realization.
Splendid! We need more Arts & Creativity like this to enliven and re-inspire our cultural life! (NETFLIX isn't cutting it...)
A wonderful new style. I like it! 👍⭐⭐⭐🍀

What elegance !
Восхитительная!!!
Супер классное видео мне понравилось
Просто замечательно! Класс!
Главное шляпку не забыли пришпилить! Не предъявишь 😮
I guess we are just going to ignore the Camel in the room. Or maybe Llama would be a better description, not quite big enough for a Camel.

We all noticed, but respectfully stay silent.

@@franzwagner4576 I agree--they are "poetry in motion."
May I suggest the whole thing is nostalgic in its musical tone and in its elementary pas de deux. We were not born to melt this easily.

Mr Joplin would be proud
Beautiful 2:07
nice🎉
Этот рэгтайм Джоплина называется Bethena. Elite syncopations звучит по другому
... y los alegres vestiditos de la orquesta.
Interesting outfits they are adorned with; peculiar in fact. I don't believe I've ever seen that manner of dress anywhere. The tights yes, but not festooned as these are. Almost look like bobsledders.
ES is never performed any other way, The orchestra (also in costume) is on stage throughout, conducted from the piano.
What is the music? It reminds me of Buster Keeting films. The dance is wonderful.
It is all by the Black American composer and pianist Scott Joplin ( 1868-1917)- he became famous for his ragtime compositions, of which he wrote over 100.
красивый танец
The Show itself must be called Elite Syncopation. The number they’re dancing to is Bethena.
Correct.
legends waiting for 2:35
Wow 💪🔥😱
Her shoes are so dead. Strong feet. Beautiful routine.
Perfecto!
2:37 STAR CRACK
Wonderful dancing, hideous costumes.
Completely agree. Especially the the placement of the stars. Ick.
Funny, cause I saw it just the OPPOSITE!! Loved the costuming, but the dancing was utterly LACKLUSTER!!!
Seriously? The costumes are _everything._ they are like body paint. So fitting.

Yes, I’d definitely agree, but it is Art, after all!
YAWN!!!
Anyone else here for the 🐪?
Все!
I clicked for absolutely no other reason
Is there another reason?
Неет, just for choreography!
What is the symbol for
why is it called Elite Syncopations when the piece is Bethena?
It's a one-act ballet of Joplin's rags. Elite Syncopations is the best title.
Wow! Toeshoes and "toe" tights!
Dance teater yang sangat menarik💗🎈👍👍
👏👏👏
Is that wardrobe painted on her? If not there is a camel someplace walking around missing a foot.
Wahouu!,
It's a wonder there wasn't a echo
Nice
Nice, very nice, not very nice, not nice..... The possibilities are endless!
❤😂❤

You all should watch this with darcey bussell!
Envie de légèreté.?😊 ❤
