this pains my heart because the dancers must be so upset over just that tiny mistake!! dancers are so under appreciated
so upset, yes
as i a dancer, i appreciate this comment
I am also a dancer, this is very true

Of course they gonna be upset, they practice and practice just to make a mistake at end. I would probably cry for days.
And then you go backstage freaking out because you think everyone saw it and you have a panic attack
Either that or you find out on YT...😆
@Cuddly Yoongi so true
my tights once ripped during my solo
@@eveolivia.07 😨😨😨
I was nervous I was going to fall while doing a back walkover, (the floor was very very slippery Bc of cleaners for costume fallout and feet sliding) and so I just arched- I was so nervous I almost fainted-
2:17 ballerina punishing the floor after her fall
Lol
Hahahaha true
R.I.P Floor
LMAO IM CRYING
Lolollllll
Loll
OMg that fall Anastasia Lemenko... that looked painful and she just kept going!
Great to see you here! Love your videos ❤️
@@user-fp6yh2up9c thank you!!
It really did look painful. Even my dad who is a doctor (I’ve been showing him that ballet very much IS a kind of sport, or can be) said that could have fractured a rib or two, depending on the flooring and the exact angle of how she landed. She didn’t have much time for reaction to slow her momentum before her torso smacked the ground. Having it distributed is better than at one point, but still. She must have been winded at the very least. She held on to her mask like a champ though.
@@SunflowerSpotlight As figure skater who has taken some hard falls, I totally felt that one! Ouch!!! I hope she really was okay afterwards.
I was shocked when i saw her fall. I didn't know what the mistake could possibly be, but once she was up in the air on that second jump my brain just said "oh dear god no, shes going to not be able to catch herself after that.". I applaud her for being able to continue after a fall like that. I certainly would not be able to dp that.
As a dancer, I feel a lot of pain right now
I get you. Me too, Belle, me too...
I feel you
ikr the first one... i would have CRIED if my pointe shoes cane undone in stage
Согласна с вами! Сердце сжимается
Ik honestly wen the girl with the red skirt fell i hated it but to be honest i also laughed so hard
I dancers in the first clip did such a good job correcting that!
I know right! Their professionalism and graceful recovery never ceases to amaze me :)
@@AngelaChen1115 Well it was nikolay tsiskaridze in the clip, I am not surprised.
I actually speak Russian and the guy was explaining the situation when he was an old man during the voice over
He is georgian! Where i am from! Nationally he is georgian but he is born in moscow.
I really loved the way they handled that
who are the dancers in the first clip? so professional!
I know right! The male dancer is Nikolai Tsiskaridze, and I'm not sure who the female dancer is. Sorry! I also should have stated in the video the first clip isn't really a mistake but a performer doing his job brilliantly!
I think the ballerina is the wonderful Nina Kaptsova.
Angela Chen oh absolutely!! I think it’s also Tzikaridze who’s commenting it, isnt‘t he?
@@mathildewesendonck7225 Yes, that is Tsiskaridze's voice commenting on the video :)
@@nuovomodo Her technique is just impeccable, except for that Tanya Harding moment.
2:16 she's hitting the floor for being too slippery
That's wholesome haha!
Hahhahahaha
Lmao
thank you u cheered me up today
dreeei you just copied another comment
Anastasia’s recovery gave me chills! I could never go on from something like that so beautifully. Wow!
Her fall looks more graceful than me just walking lmao
Angela Chen that’s what I’m saying! It’s insane! I don’t know how she does literally EVERYTHING with such grace
I just hope she did not hurt much herself. But how she was continuing - that was great.
1:52 she fell right on beat
Lmao
@@CristianVasquez_ Lmmao, I mean if youre a dancer might as well fail on beat 🤣
Teehee
That's her smacking the ground when she fell
Sweetie Quin when you think about she was supposed to land on beat so it makes sense
Some of these mistakes look better than what they are supposed to
They recover so well I could barely tell! I couldn't imagine what I would do if I were the one performing... Dancers are indeed amazing...
Exactly
no
Which ones bc I would say no.
The first one was a great cover up
2:16 she was getting revenge on the floor 😂
Also to add to the shock there is usually pain and you have to keep smiling and keep going
Yeah, once I worked really hard on my variation on the eve of a show. When I did the show the next day, my feet were hurting so bad(my skin was peeling of and I have a lot of blisters) (dancers, you know the drill) and I had to keep dancing and smiling for the whole show.
Painful
1:52 The amount of strength to get up and keep smiling oml
I was thinking the same thing, after hitting so hard the floor she is still dancing elegantly 🥺 she is amazing
Actually I saw Zakharova fall in one performance of Giselle, during the pas de deux in the 2nd part with Sergei Polunin as Albrecht. She recovered instantly.
I've seen that clip too! I swear Zakharova is graceful and light as air even falling on stage!
I watched another one of her broadcasted live in Giselle while doing a tour jete. It was wild but she recovered beautifully
Yes I saw it too! In a live at the movie theater
Oly Erem yeah that’s exactly where I saw it too!
Angela Chen thats called a professional
Accidents are just part of live theatre, I've come to realise. I just finished out a production of Romeo and Juliet as Benvolio and during the first fight scene between Tybalt and myself, my sword cracked clean in half (they were wooden and painted since some of the performers were very new to stage fighting). So we threw them down and started fighting with our fists instead, just whispering to each other before the next move came. XD The crowd loved it and the chaos of the other fighters covered our whispering.
Congratulations Sebastian! That indeed sounds like a marvellous recovery. Most of us would've been frozen in fear!
I feel so bad for laughing at 1:52 everytime... The poor woman, that must have hurt so much! It's just hilarious to me how she gets on up smiling super wide like nothing happened. A true professional
1:52 made me laugh it loud for like 5 minutes. She continued so well! I’m a ballerina so I understand what it feels like to fall.
I fell on stage while dancing and it was pretty embarrassing but I carried on and we placed 1st in our category and 1st overall we then made it to the final !!!!!!! So moral of the story is ... don’t give up !!!!
that poor girl who faced planted out of her tour jete🥺
I just imagined in 2019 dance teachers are like: you can go wrong now but there is NO second chance on stage!
In 1980 dance teachers be like: You made it up now but if you were dancing for the Kings and queens your head would be chopped off!
I don’t get it lol
Welcome to a new episode of: why is this in my recommended
*_Being a dancer, every time I saw someone falling or something from their wardrobe malfunctioning my heart just felt so much fear for them. I know the emotional pressure they have._*
1:16 that stumble looked almost gracefully to he honest haha
And then when you get back stage you freak out and repeatedly say, "Abby's gonna kill me!"
1:52... I hope that she was alright
It was probably very painful but she may be fine since she finished with power
I was in a colorguard in high school. I was the rifle captain and standing at the front of a v formation in the show. It had been a rough year for me. I had lost my dad suddenly to cancer and was exhausted.
We had slight variations of our show based on if it was being done inside, outside or in a parade formation. Well at one point I zoned out and started doing the entire wrong version of the show. Without missing a beat, the rest of the rifle line switched to the version I was doing until the next break in the music when our formation moved again and I realized what I did. No one in the audience even notice. The only time we were out of sync was when I did a double toss the others didn’t. And since I was at the front the audience just thought it was a spotlight moment. Your team members always have your back.
Omg the one who faceplanted on the hard floor but got right up and continued dancing is incredible! She must've been in a lot of pain!
also amazed by the Corps not flinching when she fell, they’re so used to doing the choreography, not a flinch. I’d probably freak out for a second like “u good ??”
1:53 that was amazing! How did she keep going? And she never broke her smile!
1:53 that gave me flashbacks to middle school......
Yikes, Zakharova’s ankle is as flexible as the rest of her, clearly
Trust me it hurts a lot. Hence her grabbing and stretching her foot and testing her en pointe after.
I've done it and have permanent damage to the ligaments in my ankles. One has decent mobility, the other is down to about 50% mobility. All this because of dance.
As someone with crap ankles, I yelped when I saw her roll hers. OUCH
People don’t realise how hard it I actually is to be a ballerina. Like the strength these people have is just amazing
for all the dancers out there, i appreciate you
WHEW ZAKHAROVA AT THE END 😭 I screamedddddddd. Her Carmen is one of my absolute favorites I recognize the set, probably the same video
My favourite Carmen is Vishneva.
Such Energy and sex appeal!
Nikolai is such a gentleman...... Bravo, Nikolai!
Not only Zakharova, but also Sylvie Guillem and Margot Fonteyn! I don't think any dancer has got through a career without making mistakes. Carrying on afterwards as if nothing had happened is a true art!
Always impressed how well people bounce back
Thanks for the video. It only made me admire and respect those dancers more. I am curious, if anyone would be able to tell in the first Nutcracker part, was Nikolai Tsiskaridze dancing his original sequence while the ballerina was off the stage, or was he actually dancing some of the ballerina part, or maybe even some improvisation?
I just watched another Bolshoi Nutcracker and looks like you're right! The ballerina left the stage right in the moment when the choreography had the two dancers doing parts that do not require partnering so Tsiskaridze continued on with his own part. The ballerina was quick to return right when the choreography required partnering again! But it must have been a very anxious moment for the two dancer as Tsiskaridze realized he had to carry out his part on his own :)
@@AngelaChen1115 Thanks for checking. I also found a video of their Nutcracker, and like you said the timing was actually very good for them to address the shoe issue... a little gap between two partnering sequences. I totally agree with the anxious moment. It must have been a huge relief for Tsiskaridze when the ballerina came back on stage right in time!
Angela Chen Not a coincidence. That’s why she waited until that section to run off.
The first one and the one where Kitri fell are absolutely legendary!
1:53 my flat chest would probably fall off 💀
Limenko is so professional the way she recovered so gracefully, i would surely be crying after a fall like that 😭
1:54 I had to laugh..it was even on beat but that looked painful
i think it humanizes them and i think psychologically it makes people like the performance even more, seeing how even the hardest workers can make mistakes.
01:53 I amazed how she smiled and carried on like nothing was wrong. Because I swear I saw her jaw hit the stage also.... Bravo miss....BRAVO. 😂😂😂😍🤩
I love the fact the the person who did this focused on how beautifully they recovered not how bad the fall was. Thank you...keep doing that.
The first time I saw Limenko fall I thought she looked more graceful doing that than me just walking hahaha. I was even more shocked when she got up and kept dancing with a smile on her face as if nothing had happened. If that had been me I would've started crying on stage!
Anyways, a side note, I found this clip from Limenko's own Instagram actually. I love a ballerina who admits she's not perfect since this art makes so many strive for this impossible perfection and I thought it was so refreshing to see that!
@@AngelaChen1115 Oh, 100%. I actually do dance, mainly ballet and many of the people I dance with think they are perfect..(sometimes I do too) but we know we aren't. A dancer who can admit that they aren't perfect will get farther than those who think they are because they will be more willing to improve and take corrections.
Slippery floors and slippery shoes..mostly
As a dancer (though not nearly as professional as everyone in here), I can relate to Anastasia’s fall so much. I remember face planting on the stage once (like her). Another time, I cartwheeled into a wall. Ouch.
This is what our ballet teachers want us to do, don’t get flustered if you mess up because you just have to continue
oh god you always know what’s coming in the kitri variation.. also happened to have broken my fan onstage doing that one !
Kitri takes so much stamina, I bet it wouldn't be hard to make a mistake here or there. It's so amazing how most of these dancers go through 3 hours not making one mistake!
And I hope you were able to recover after breaking your fan! I bet you finished off everything beautifully though :)
That rush of adrenaline and gut feeling you get when you fall on stage is something else man
That shows the skill toughness, and professionalism of these dancers! To make a mistake, or have a wardrobe malfunction, fix the problem quickly and go back to dancing and carry as if nothing happened ! I have nothing but the highest respect for these dancers!
I’ve had this happens to me so many times, but I’m no where near as professional as these beautiful dancers are. They take their mistakes so well!
I feel so bad for Anastasia and even worse for laughing at the incident, but bruises to her ego and body aside, the grace and poise with which she recovered from that mishap is truly admirable. Well done!
I gasped when the fourth dancer fell.
What a job! You need to be 100% all the time, hundreds of pairs of eyes are focused on you and you are supposed to give us perfection, nothing less. How can these people take the pressure, not break? My respect, the highest respect.
They can be shot and they still smile, gracefully going down.
Even the best people can run into trouble. Every day on stage is a new adventure.
these aren't mistakes, these are just accidents...of course they happen to anyone
You’re point is? It’s still a mistake, but an accident too.
This is great and I agree: such errors only gives me even *more* respect for the incredible skills these dancers possess. It reminds me exactly how difficult this art is to execute. To slip and fall flat on your face, get up swiftly and gracefully and keep going -- if I was in the audience, I'd clap twice as hard for her professionalism!
Remember, kids: “The show must go on!”
I love watching people recover from mistakes. It's the best thing ever!
My heart hurts so bad watching this because as a dancer myself I know how dancers can be such perfectionists. They probably practiced these dances hundreds of times in preparation, plus years and years of training, and even the ones with small little stumbles probably were so hard on themselves after the performance was over, but amazing job keeping it together and continuing the performance until the curtain dropped, that takes a lot.
I've pointed out to my daughter when dancers make mistakes on stage. She's a ballet student, and seeing professionals make errors has helped her not worry about it.
it helps me 😬☺️
That's really sweet, I hope she gets more confidence out of it
1:53 I felt that! I admire the way she picked herself up smiling broadly,as if nothing had happened!
1:53 I felt that in my soul. It rattled my bones. PTSD flashbacks to the one and only time I fell like that and I’m just thankful it was in a rehearsal. 😂
That being said, I fell on stage a few years ago during an incredibly fast and high energy tap dance but not during the difficult steps. No. The music slowed down for a minute and we had two slow, sexy walks and I rolled my ankle and fell on my face. Walking.
I ADORE Nikolai Tsiskaridze! Not many people I know know him and I got really excited when I saw him! He is incredible! I love him in Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty and we'll littearly everything he is in
Hi Olivia, same!!! I love Tsiskaridze's dancing so much, it's so musical. And he has such a funny sarcastic personality from what I can tell from his Vaganova teaching videos, he must be one hell of an wonderful teacher.
I've made this correction somewhere in the comments but the clip of him, I realized later, wasn't a mistake as he just kept on going and improvising as his partner went backstage to fix her shoe but I bet the whole waiting for her to come back experience must have been nerve-wracking for him as he realized he had to keep going! Such a professional dancer!
Angela Chen I know how that feels! I am in a play right now and while I was on stage my Dad (in the play) just ran off. He left me and my brother on stage alone for a bit. He told us afterwards that he forgot his phone (which rings later in the scene)
But I have never been left to improve in a ballet performance
I once had an ice skate boot lace come undone in a competition. I didn’t handle it with the grace these dancers do. They are to be commended.
I love how the first few videos transition so perfectly into each other.
I didn't even notice the ribbons unlace on the first dancer! How amazingly skilled and professional.
I think it’s the nerves that gets to them while performing either way they finish it beautifully.
Bless their hearts! They work so hard, and their human....
As a dancer watching these kinda makes me want to cry from second hand embarassement (and pain), yet the recoveries are always amazing
I cant even begin to imagine how hard it must be to continue a routine having just fallen. It must hurt so bad
As a dancer myself, a lot of people don’t know how hard it is to go en pointe. But these people are all amazing dancers!!!❤️
The best artists have/had an infinite amount of messy canvases, performances, and many more mistakes along their journey
Us dancers go through years of intensive training to hopefully bring a smile to your faces so when we make a mistake it hits us hard. But we keep going for the audience and the joy we gain from your happiness!
That fall right flat on the face by Anastasia Limenko must be so painful and it must've knocked the wind out of her. I can't believe she just got up and continued to dance as if nothing has happened. That is a lot of strength!!
I love these videos, they really help me realize that even the best dancers make mistakes. I find it hard to realize that not everyone is perfect and it’s completely fine to make mistakes. You should always try to do something and not worry about making a mistake.
In the first clip I have to laugh at the grace and beauty juxtaposed with the sheer rage and panic that probably ensued the second the ballerina got offstage
This reminds me of something I learned that gave me insight into the brilliance of Nijinsky's choreography for the "Rite of Spring" (which you can see reconstructed in a few videos on TH-cam). Throughout the ballet he has dancers throw themselves to the ground, and in the sacrificial dance he has the Chosen One hobble about as if with a broken leg, touching on a ballet dancer's worst nightmares. And of course, the Chosen One gets chosen for death because she stumbles in a dance. (I was horrified the first time I saw the reconstructed ballet and learned that she is chose by the other girls!!)
One of the things I love about dance is non dancers think you dress so gracefully at practice and blocking but really you dress in sweat pants pointe shoes and a sweatshirt
As a dancer, I’m in a lot of emotional pain right now 😂
My heart always skips a beat when you see an ankle slip or roll.
I panicked when Anastasia fell but gurl she still nailed it🔥
I really appreciate your spirit. They are human .
1:53 I really felt that fall in my nose 🥺
I love watching videos like this because you see how professional they all are
Wow they are all soo beautiful she even looked graceful falling !!
GREAT RECOVERY TO THE FIRST DANCERS !
Well handled.
Imagine the solid sense of self-worth that allows you to post yourself falling face flat into the floor during a performance on your personal IG. So cool.
I think it probably really helps to be able to put yourself in the mindset of an actor, because at the heart you're just playing a character in a story, so when you make a mistake you can view it as breaking character and recover better than if you viewed it as *oh god everyone just saw me mess up* because you're just the body of a character for the story you're telling, it adds a sort of security blanket
They all recover so well
The lady who fell flat on her stomach made me laugh. Not because it was funny but because she got back up and laughed at herself a little, and carried on with a smile.
1:52 I actually gasped out loud! I'm glad I didn't wake my son up. 🤫 I've always had the up most respect for any dancers. Great video 💙🐝💙
i did ballet for 11 years and i once had a solo, where i forgot the steps for just a few seconds so i just covered up by just dancing a simple step we always did during the warm up and not even my teacher noticed so i was pretty glad i covered up so well xd
I appreciate the professionalism of the dancers
One of my favorite things about seeing someone recover from a mistake is that it takes a really strong knowledge of your instrument
what i found fascinating is that they just continue the dance after they make a mistake almost creating the illusion that it never happened. especially for the dancer in the red costume where she had a huge fall.
wow... they are so beautiful that I can't even notice the mistakes
