Ballet Explained
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ม.ค. 2023
Welcome to my channel! I'm an educator from New Zealand. I have always had a love for ballet, and have been studying it since my youth.
Understanding and appreciating ballet can pose a challenge, particularly for those not immersed in its cultural context from a young age, or without exposure to performances, or personal study. Unlike other forms of theatre, ballet lacks dialogue, relying instead on the music and physical movements of its performers to convey meaning. Therefore, familiarising oneself with the narrative of a ballet before or after attending a performance can enhance one's enjoyment of it.
From the stories behind iconic ballets like Swan Lake and Giselle, I try provide a simple to understand look at the art form. I hope this channel is useful for ballet enthusiasts, beginners, students and anyone interested in the performing arts.
If you have any questions or want to request a video idea, leave a comment on any of my videos :)

Where can I watch this ballet? I’ve never seen it!
Giselle. At Mariinsky theatre. Diana Vishnyova and Mathieu Ganio.
Why do you fill the swan lake are dance drama group.
It’s Dulcinea, not Delcinia…
I placed this ballet in Halloween.
So The Lake of the Swans was originally a Ballet-Pantomime for Tchaikovsky's Nieces and Nephews created in 1871 at his sister's home in Ukraine.
0:49 whoahhh buddy😳😳😳😳
The b,ack swan is a juvenile swan
Firebird is a very beautifull ballet 🧡🕊🔥
Not me dance to the beginning song cause I just did my swanhilda solo and got 3rd place
Not all ballets are a winner to me. Thanks for the information.
It is ironic how ballet is more of a traditional dance but there are modern themes creeping in.
Ballet is so beautiful
Interesting video, but the AI voice freaks me out. She doesn't draw a breath once whilst "reading" the script and it's so earie.
what is the music in the background?
I wish I wanna wear that ballerina dress
not me as a child learning about swan lake from barbie
Can you please explain the part of diana and actaeone variation?
So glad I found this channel. I have a life long passion for ballet, Russian ballet is my favorite.💕🩰
Omg thank you my ballet teacher told me to watch the dance and I had no idea what was going on
What production is this? Where can I watch it?
Great video! Thanks for uploading it :) Carmen is incredible! Didn't know it was from Cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso
I see the scarf made it into the movie in some way 😂
The American Ballet Swan Lake is my favorit to date.
Hi, fellow Kiwi here. I am so glad you ditched the AI voice! Thank you for explaining these ballets, it's really interesting ❤
Thank you! I really appreciate it ^.^
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💟🤍🙏🏼💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
So good
This is my favourite ballet.The music is so beautiful...full of joy and longing.😅
Couldn't agree more :)
Thank you. My daughter is studying ballet at college and hoping to go on to work in the industry. She is about to perform in Giselle with the EYB, and I am clueless. At least I will understand the storyline when I go and see her performance
That's amazing! I hope the best for your daughter :)
👍
Please continue. im not a very smart man. but i understand it now.
I just discovered this channel today and I LOVE it!! Would you please do “The Snow Queen” at some point?
I'll add it to the list :)
@@BalletExplainedTV, Thank you!
I just found your channel and you explain the stories so well! There's so many people that don't understand the stories behind the ballets and miss out on them. I can usually figure it out myself, but its nice to have it all explained so well! I see you haven't done a video on nutcracker yet, please consider it!
Thank you so much! The Nutcracker is on my list for sure :)
Please, please, please do La Bayadere!
Will do! :)
Could you possibly explain Raymonda?
I'll try :)
Just came across your channel and subscribed so fast I broke my finger. 😂
Morate uzeti u obzir vrijeme u kojem je djelo nastalo;to je bilo doba romantizma kad su literatura i glazba bile prepune tragičnih likova.Pa završila sam srednju baletnu školu i vrlo dobro prostudirala odnos on i ona.Jednom smo nas dvije prijateljice pred instruktoricom napravile takvu parodiju da su joj suze pošle na oči.Naime cijelu godinu smo nalazile poslove da bi skupile novac i otišle u London pogledati barisnjikova u ulozi Alfreda i baš nas je ona scena sa fenjerom natjerala na smijuriju.Ako se netko nađe uvrijeđen neka oprosti,mi smo se samo šalile ali ako netko želi čuti postavku u okviru današnjeg vremena neka pita pa ću mu reći
Njurejev i Margot Fonteyn; još sam bila u baletnoj školi,ali oni su ostali top 1
Wow!❤
Please do one of these explanation videos for the ballet “paquita pls 😊
Will do :)
Loving your videos. Maybe you could do La Bayadere and The Fountain of Bakhchisarai next?? :)
Great suggestion! I'll work on it :)
I think she gave Ivan the feather, to gain her freedom.
Giselle would not survive today's dating culture
She didn't survive her own culture's dating either. 😭
In the original of Ceasar Pugni, (the composer) ending, Esmeralda dies by getting hanged by Frollo, and Quasimodo kills Frollo, but after killing him, he saves Esmeralda late, but he dies because of starvation. It's another veration of the story.
I can’t wait to watch this live <3
Can you please do another one of a Ballet narrative perhaps the dream?
I'll try :)
Anyone from the fnaf gang here???
I thought Esmeralda died in the ballet?
