- Join us for a rehearsal of Balanchine’s "Tarantella" with principal dancer Joaquin De Luz, soloist Indiana Woodward, rehearsed by ballet master Glenn Keenan and accompanied by pianist Susan Walters.
Attitude turn at 6:20 - just spectacular. Beautiful "floating" effect.
the absolute glee and joy on joaquin's face is wonderful; it's nice to see how much enjoyment he can still get out of ballet despite the decades of work
It's so fun and the male dancer makes it all worth while. His smile is so radiant.
Great interview with Megan Fairchild too!
Love the sound of the shoes clacking on the floor
Not so much when you're watching the classics such as Giselle!
@@EVZYL I dont know about that. Makes the dancers seem more human. Adds a creepiness to willis
I love this piece, this is very demanding physically and leaves a lot of place for personality and joy !
love this ballet. It's nice to see this cute, but fiendishly difficult Balanchine ballet being passed onto new young dancers in the Company.
I love Indiana. Congrats on her promotion to soloist
The physicality is stunning. What hard work, and what joy they display while doing it.
Thank you for sharing. I Love the artistry and technique of Joaquin De Luz, incorporating the confidence of his maturity. He's brilliant!
As always, Joaquin is remarkable, but for me, it’s especially exciting to see Indiana’s speed, clarity in footwork, and musicality. It is incredible to see the working process...something I’ve never had the chance to see with NYCB. It strikes me as especially brave of Indiana to allow the public to see her in process. I am sure that her debut was spectacular
Her ankles and feet are sooooooo strong. She vaults off the floor!
I’m still wondering what musicality is. Shouldn’t all dancers have this? Isn’t it what dancing is about? (I don’t get it).
The imbecilic administration (nearly as bad as Martins' reign of terror!) finally bowed to the inevitable and made Woodward a principal. Three or four years overdue, but at last. Of course, they're also giving Unity PHELAN (who is in no way adequate to the task, either technically or artistically) every ballerina role in the Balanchine canon, including Haieff Divertimento and Bizet Adagio. UGH!
She has incredible strength!!! I can't even imagine...
Behind the scenes...........= the best.

I love this rehearsal. I watch it over and over. Wonderful
This is the best interpretation of Taratella I've seen. Particularly Indiana at 3.55 TO 4:02, 4:08 TO 4:20, and 7:51 to 8:12 - better than all other Tarantellas. It's interesting to see them transition from poise to exhaustion at the end - something unseen in an actual performance.
You actually have them as your avatar ?
I love how in Balanchine technique the dancers interact with each other. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a treat they are allowing the public to watch this. Love watching! Makes me want to get tickets and go see them!!❤️
Thank you very much. The New York City Ballet very seldom gets to California so these "performances" are a real treat.
I can only imagine how tired they must be! They are amazing!!!!😍
I love watching Joaquin De Luz
Are adorable together...exude so much strength and joy! Very enjoyable to watch!
I attended the school in the days of Patty McBride. I can see why "Mr. B" choreographed this while she was so young, lithe, perky, and great at turns and quick movements - Her beautiful disposition included total concentration; discipline; flexibility to make instant changes if directed by Mr. B; never coming down hard on herself if she made a mistake; always working incredibly hard to be the best.
62flamenco how long were u at the school?
That’s fantastic that you were there with McBride!
I agree. I was a bit younger but I know exactly what you’re talking about as I was at SAB for a while (and then changed direction and went to the Royal Ballet). But the dancers with whom Balanchine worked with directly had magical gifts - they were more lithe, quicker and had super long limbs. They understood him and he coaxed the best from them. His energy was different and he commanded the best efforts from his stable of amazing dancers that “got” him and his philosophy. The whole level seems to have dropped over the years. The répétiteur isn’t Balanchine and frankly I find her demeanor not especially inspiring. And to me, Indiana is under-rehearsed or not quite ready for this role. It’s not great when the male is dancing rings around the female.
Just wonderful!
NYC ballet is my fave. Their dancers are so strong, muscular, and fast. Musicality is awesome! Prefer it over everything
@Candy Jones I find the russian style soo old fashioned. If I'm in the mood for that, then it's awesome but if that were the only style in the world of ballet, then it'd get boring real fast. Russians are superior technicians, but americans are just so fun to watch!!
Di M I couldn’t have said it better!
I guess if you’re an American, and it’s an American ballet company, then that is where your preference would lie. I think that was Balanchine’s whole point, to translate a European art form onto what he saw as quintessentially American in dancers. American ballet companies probably rank among my least favourite companies, but each to his own I guess.
@@dim9753 it’s not just about Russians versus Americans sheesh. The Paris Opera Ballet ( my favourite ), the Royal Ballet, even the Australian Ballet tend to outclass the American school of ballet. American ballet is very America specific.
@Candy Jones I just don’t have a need to see totally perfect fifth positions and the “elaborate posing” of the Russian style. It’s just far too slow for me to see any excitement in it. Seeing Russian ballerinas perform Balanchine is taxing as well-they just can’t grasp the musical timing and the athleticism/footwork is lost on them.
This is my first time seeing the choreography of the particular ballet. I love the energy of the movement.
OMG Ms. Woodward is so talented! Well deserved promotion
Joaquin is great! He's like a slender Edward Villella! He has such lightness! He's like skipping through a meadow. And he has a great personality. He lingers a little in the air in his jumps!
Think how much fun Balanchine must have had with this!
so cool. Brilliant both. Proper tempo too!
The girl has nice muscles which i appreciate. She's healthy, strong and elegance.
The model ballet bod.
rain74925 she’s got “heft”.
Most of the dancers in US ballet company are healthy, strong and aesthetic!
I was just noticing the same thing. It’s gorgeous on her. Maybe the ballet world will make a shift to more realistic, healthy physiques. I mean, they are athletes so it’s hard not to be so strong and built. It’s so much more beautiful this way.
@@sloanewang5680 not all of them are healthy… I don’t think American dancers are healthier than others
Superb! Thank you so much for allowing us in!
It's beautiful! I can't stop see! The dancers are very good!
Glenn Keenan is a very skilled and perceptive coach who has a lot of great, practical corrections for the dancer. Impressed.
OMG this was such a treat to watch. Well done indeed!
I really like this and I really look up to this dancer as a beginning pre pro because for a bit I thought that ballet dancers should have these skinny twig legs, and she dosn’t and dances so beautifully it just amazes me and really inspires me to do better, so that maybe one day I can be like her
@Candy Jones Why do some people try to be so rude?
Candy Jones was This is the 2nd critical and judgmental comment I’ve read of yours. What gives?
I love this variation! The amazing tempo with the fast feet and quick tambourine hands just makes this so enjoyable to watch. Really enjoy Balanchines work especially Jewels and now The Tarantella! Indiana I hope your debut went amazingly well! Good luck for the future 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
This was so cool to see! I loved the show Friday night and it was great meeting Indiana Woodward after the show. She was so nice!
What an amazing ballet master and dancers.
Thank you. It is so lovely to see the New York Ballet dancing at Saratoga Springs landmarks such the Yaddo.
Joaquin Though... Both dancers are very beautiful. The instructor is really good.
HE IS FANTASTIC!!
Loved watching this!
Thanks so much for this! Would love to see more!
So fun to watch I love it!
BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO!!! Such superb, lively dancers! Eyecandy at its best - Thank you for sharing this! just watching makes one happy from inside 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing! It's so great to see how a professional rehearsal is run.
I love their dance❤
Bravo! This is a beautifully playful ballet.
I love it! Bravo!
Brilliant & Amazing JDL- Saw NYCB many times at the KC, including this one!!
Amazing !
PM and EV are two of my favorites
I love love these ballet vids ty they are so good for de-stressing 💚💚💚
Hey u need VICKYSDIMARCO
Amazing speed does not replace detailed artistry ... you never see it like this outside NYCB. Just wonderful!
Wow so fabulous!
MARVELOUS!!! BRAVO!!!
Thank you!
Wonderful to see it without costumes. Can really see the details.
That was fantastic!
Very enjoyable, and the dancers have amazing stamina. That ballet master sure has good eyes: you can see some of the slight problems when she points them out, but just barely when the number is flying by. The boy is a good partner, and is really helping her with his energy.
So fabulous. So cute. Great dancing. Bravo . Best of luck.
Excellent work on this piece
Wow! Leave it to Balanchine to choreograph such a fun, but difficult piece!!!
Absolutely beautiful 😍😍😍
If they blow their corrections in performance do they get “in trouble?”. I’m amazed at how these people are athletes as well as super smart. I’d be reduced to a pile of tears. So strong in every way, ballet dancers !
I don't think it's in their best interest to ignore corrections, or blow it. They are so professional by the time they are performing a piece like this, I don't think that would happen :)
As a former professional ballet dancer one would never “blow off” corrections. But in the moment on stage some of these micro-corrections are sacrificed to keep on the music - that’s key. To stay in the role - to stay with your partner. If you end up doing a single instead of a double or don’t square your shoulders enough during a jeté en tournant, well you’ve missed the “ideal” in terms of absolutely technical correction but it’s much more important to really “dance” the ballet by injecting your artistry in the moment. Nobody just arrogantly blows of corrections.
its beautiful
dancers are perfect
wow.....so great
I really love Indiana Woodward!
this was just! ♥
Outstanding
Wonderful Joaquin de Luz😀
Wonderful
BRAVO!
She seems like a very sweet person to work with (Glenn)
Bravo everyone
This ballet is just pure joy if you disagree with me your wrong
Fabulous ❤️
The giggles are real...
Molto bravi!!!
I love this ballet! Anybody who does these roles has a lot to live up to. Villella and McBride rocked these roles!
I saw Edward Villella dance this when I was in high school. It left quite an impression on me.
Brava!
Someone get Joaquin a bandaid! :) Loved this - fantastic dancing.
Amazing :D
I wanna see the finished product
wow!!!!!
14:16 JOAQUIN!!! Both were absolutely incredible
special
That ballet must be such a fun ballet to do after you got the steps down
A cliche but Joaquin is THE BEST. He is missed. And Covid or not, it's time for Indiana to be promoted to Principal. Like Joaquin, she is one of a kind.
"don't get this on camera." Hahaa
don't try this at home
Aneva Stout lol (hobbling around in a pair of pointes from long ago...)
too late
Often, rehearsal affords one the best seat in the house
Does anyone know what type of shorts she’s wearing?? They look so good! She looks so athletic
they’re just cutoff tights
Mamma mia.🙀
indiana's turnout and legs!!!!!! gorgeous
That moment @ 9:40 when they die and collapse on the floor right after that routine - relatable on so many levels 😂
Yes 😂😂
Great to see the ballerina has muscles and womanly curves. She looks healthy and normal
Is it just me, or are they behind the beat?
Many of the repetatures at NYCB do not nearly understand the spirit that Balanchine wanted however Joaquin is insane. He may not fully understand Mr. B's style but he executes it so well. When he was a guest Men's teacher during my summer at the Rock I learned nothing but awe because I saw him explain things (such as how to turn) when he was easily turning and talking to us without another thought! Beautiful dancer! I will say that the tempo in this video is about 1/3 of what Mr. B would have expected, however. Should be much faster.
so fast!
