The end had the lady with her cell phone on video, then she holds it up like victory because she escaped their attempts to stop her. Hilarious!! BRAVO!
I've been wanting you to react to this!! Everyone knows the Mistake Waltz, but Ballet Magnifique is a hidden gem of funny ballets. It's rewatchable too, because there's so many little "mistakes" choreographed in there that I missed a couple on my first watch.
This one is my favorite. With neon leg warmers to pointe shoes flying and all the organized chaos. I wonder if Josephine went back and caught all the background things.
I feel like this is how ballet, and most "highly elite" arts are truly meant to be- not chaotic or goofy exactly, but accessible! This made ballet understandable, and interesting, and fun which is a lot more than I can say about most ballet clips I've seen. There's been performances I've seen in-person that are serious or dramatic and were just as entertaining, but the vast majority of ballet I've witnessed is just "stale" compared to this. Absolutely loved it, and you're exactly right- "what personalities", and that's what makes it compelling to watch!
As soon as the orchestra starts the dancer with the red leg warmer shoots out from curtain right like she missed cue. It's as though putting on leg warmer was last second decision. I caught it on 2nd viewing, really subtle and clever! 😂
This made my day! I’m so happy because I sadly had a crappy rehearsal today but this just raised my spirit! The power went out while we we’re just walking through it and we had 35 8 year olds in the wings!!! It was so bad that whatever happened knocked out the emergency generator!
I had to watch this twice because my sound wasn't working the first time, and I still missed so many of the jokes! you could watch this over and over and over...
And the way you know this was given as much love and work as any other dance is seen in the ending. They didn't just end up jumping up and down to end the dance. They did have their moment of chaos, you know it wasn't choreographed, but they account for that and have a a way back in to make the entire end sequence thematically appropriate
Actually, most of it was choreographed. However, as you mentioned, I did give them a couple of 8 counts to improvise any kind of outlandish dancing they wanted but spacing and timing were set.
I love ballet taking the Mickey out of ballet. That moment of comic relief makes everyone feel like we’re all human and it’s okay to not be perfect all the time…like being able to breathe for a moment….
I had tons of wardrobe malfunctions over the years, but I still have nightmares about my biggest wardrobe malfunction. Senior year of college, and I was taking a jazz class for an elective. In the middle of the final performance, my left boob popped right out of my leotard. Not even a little bit, I mean FULLY out. The only thing that saved me was that the costume had a little sweater/shrug that went on top of the leo.
thank you for doing this, I really really thought you would love it or die laughing! Or both. And you really have to watch it several times and watch different dancers to catch everything that is going on
I love this so much!!! I’d be so great if the people in the audience had absolutely no idea what was going on! That’s one awesome show and the dancers and their personalities are amazing! Thanks for showing! 💗💗💗
Never seen a ballet before so watching this 5 minute commentary was quite entertaining for me. I am guessing based on your reaction and comments that this is not normally how they go down? Congratulations to whomever choreographed that one.
Happy birthday Josephine!! But how did you not notice the girl to the left at 1:12 taking of her point shoe to only dance with one point shoe and later taking the other one of too😂
Not gonna lie, I noticed a dancer acting funny but didn’t look too closely and then just saw something flying as everyone stood up. But now that you pointed it out-SUPER obvious lol
It's so funny especially after an ad for a Dutch ballet movie coming out soon (Piece of my heart) about rivalry and all the things that can lead to the downfall of a dancer)
Happy Birthday Josephine! you should react to the Rybka twins having Brooklyn and Bailey try pointe for the first time! I was nervous the whole time watching it haha
You should see the Mad Hatter scene from the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ballet from the Royal Ballet. It and the Queen of Hearts Tart Adage are 2 of my faveorite dances.
I love watching this piece because every time I notice something different. It's so hilarious. My favourite is when one of the men can't lift one of the women so another one of the female dancers comes over and does it instead
I've seen this before but it only gets better with repeated viewings. Moral of the story... don't take yourself too seriously, even if you're a prima ballerina!
I watched the original video and they confirmed that the leg warmer was there because the girl was injured and made it a part of the dance-notice how she's limping and being slower at some parts.
Hello! I am the choreographer. Actually, the girl dancing with the leg warmer was not injured, I would not have allowed her to dance injured. The girl who threw her pointe shoe in the wing was recovering from an injury. She was cleared by her doctor to dance on flat but was not given the go ahead to dance on pointe. What you don't see is the girl who threw her pointe shoe into the wing actually had her ribbons coming untied from the beginning.
I love how Josephine was so distracted by the leg warmer that she missed the first choreography hints of what was coming 🤣
I did too the leg warmer was really distracting
@Jenna Gets Creative First of allllllllll....I love your name! 😁😁😁😁💙💙💙💙 Secondly, that leg warmer is sooooooo distracting. 😲😲 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think the leg warmer was a deliberate clue to the audience that this was going to get silly. :D
@@Serai3 Indeed. If you like using emojis, it's "Windows button" + "(.)".
lol
The definition of... organized chaos.. I love it
Indeed.
My dance teacher calls organized chaos choreographed chaos
Kandee, couldn't have put it better!!!
Yes indeed
MY LIFE LOL
I cant stop laughing at the dancer running across the stage spinning her pointe shoes in the air. I am dying!!!
She be swingin' 'em like a flail while chasing the other dancer, lmaooooo
Lol that was funny
Time stamp please

my dance teacher actually choreographed this! she’s in it too- the one who threw the pointe shoe at the beginning- she’s incredibly talented!
Wow! I’m gonna look again
I choreographed it and I certainly did not dance in it! 😂
@@laurenwisdom1, Incredible! Thank you for your creative & hilarious choreography!!!!
@@laurenwisdom1 So, how much of the "mistakes" was choreographed and how much did you say, "do what ever you want."?
@@laurenwisdom1one of these statements ain’t matching up 👀
Josephine "I need more of his in my life"
Me "yeah me too"
Totally made my day. 🤣🤣 organized chaos at its best 🤣🤣
2:27 the lady in the middle is a MENICE to ballerina society and it's amazing.
BALLET DANCERS DANCING TO THE CAN CAN I CAN'T
*ahem* I think you mean you can't can't. I'll show myself out. 🤣
@@skyefirenails *screeching laughing*
I just love the Ballet Magnifique because it gets more chaotic on rewatches and you notice something new every time. 😂
Imagine Josephine being so distracted by a leg warmer that she didnt notice someone front and center just casually taking off one of their shoes xD
This one is my favorite. With neon leg warmers to pointe shoes flying and all the organized chaos. I wonder if Josephine went back and caught all the background things.

This is exactly how I envision every little kid dance recital ending up. 😂
Happy birthday Josephine! This was hilarious...also the red leg warmer, I actually thought it was there by mistake lol
I’m not ballerina but I’m pretty sure profesional ballet is to strict to let something like that slide (I hope) lol!
@@kookie_krissy6728 Oh yeah totally...lol. if I did that my teacher would be so mad lol

Best Ballet I have ever seen!!!! No one can change my mind
One of my favorite bits is at 5:07, there is one dancer still plugging along until her fellow dancers take her out and drag her off. 😂
That's the short one that tried to upstage the prima getting knocked over by the prima
@@Ru136It’s the one two to the right of the upstager.
This is 100 percent my favourite ballet video to watch when I need a laugh so glad yo see you react 😀
I feel like 2:05-2:15 ish is the definition of “come and get me biawtch” 😂
Lauren is the BEST!!!
NEVER in my life did I think a ballet could make me laugh until my sides hurt... and this one did!
I had to watch this twice because my sound wasn't working the first time, and I still missed so many of the jokes! you could watch this over and over and over...
Thank you so much for cheering me up by sharing this - 🤣❤❤❤❤
I love this, bc it reminds me of the mistake waltz and i love that.Basically i love choas
Deeeeeelightful! I love the chaos but you can still see how talented these dancers...and the choreographer is!!
At the last part when they were chasing around the teacher/someone I almost died I swear I couldn’t breathe
Best ballet performance I’ve seen on stage for sure!
And the way you know this was given as much love and work as any other dance is seen in the ending. They didn't just end up jumping up and down to end the dance.

This video has always been one of my favorites! The complete and utter chaos is a thing of beauty 😂

I would love to go see a performance just like that. The greatness of ballet and the comedy added into it would be great.
Happy birthday Josephine! This was amazing! Thank You so much for posting such great content!
I love this so much!!! I’d be so great if the people in the audience had absolutely no idea what was going on! That’s one awesome show and the dancers and their personalities are amazing! Thanks for showing! 💗💗💗
Happy birthday Josephine! Thanks for this fun treat!
Awesome Awesome Awesome. Love everything about this video and the dancers. They did an awesome job and such great energy. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Did you see the one with the black shorts under her costume?
I just watched this so many times to catch all the details
I love your expressions as you’re like… something … is … up
it's years since i'd seen this, so thank you very much for this trip down memory lane and this laugh
this was THE BEST ballet show i have ever seen i need more
!
I love this video and the best thing is: you can watch it multiple times and you'll notice new nuances every time xD
Finally a ballet that actually makes some sense to the audience
This is too funny it’s hilarious, love the organized chaos 😂
The "I don't trust this" face at the beginning 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Happy birthday Josephine!! But how did you not notice the girl to the left at 1:12 taking of her point shoe to only dance with one point shoe and later taking the other one of too😂
right i was about to say how did she miss that
Not gonna lie, I noticed a dancer acting funny but didn’t look too closely and then just saw something flying as everyone stood up. But now that you pointed it out-SUPER obvious lol
That bit was added when the choreographer found out that dancer was coming off injury and not released to dance en pointe yet.
@@MrsWheezer oh that’s really nice that the choreographer did that
Nice to see Josephine NOT being tortured for once! 🤣💖
It’s absolutely brilliant. You have to watch it several times to even try to see all the fun and games 😉❤️
Course of the choreographed right to every single T this is a fabulous performance just fabulous
It's so funny especially after an ad for a Dutch ballet movie coming out soon (Piece of my heart) about rivalry and all the things that can lead to the downfall of a dancer)
Happy Birthday, Josephine!
I cry every time I watch this from laughing so hard. This is just so funny. When does a dancer not want to whip off her shoes? Ha ha ha ha ha.
I swear me getting home from a full day of work, and taking my bra off, is the ballerina’s version of taking their bun out😂
When she said “imagine if you didn’t know this was happening “, we saw that through your reaction. Too funny
This is really Magnifique!! I have never been interested in ballet. But if the shows can be as beautiful, and funny.
Best Ballet Ever.
Happy birthday, Josephine 💐🎂
My mm doesn`t like ballet bt she would LOVE this! Such a fun spin and they are amazing actors.
Friend: So what’s your favorite style of ballet?
Me: uNhInGeD
Happy Birthday Josephine! you should react to the Rybka twins having Brooklyn and Bailey try pointe for the first time! I was nervous the whole time watching it haha
Josephine's reaction makes me so happy 😊
You should see the Mad Hatter scene from the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ballet from the Royal Ballet. It and the Queen of Hearts Tart Adage are 2 of my faveorite dances.
Happy birthday Josephine Love the video
Loved "who hasn't had a costume malfunction" what I say " I haven't"! loll! Love u Josephine!!!
Finally! I want you to watch it!
Friend( who doesn't dance) what happens in dance class that make you love it so much?
Me: this this is why
I love watching this piece because every time I notice something different. It's so hilarious.
My favourite is when one of the men can't lift one of the women so another one of the female dancers comes over and does it instead
happy birthday Josephine 🥳, keep doing this I love you 🤩
Needs to be watched several times to catch all the little gags and mistakes hidden around :D
I’ve rematched this like 5 times just to see all the chaotic details. This is amazing 😂
Happy Birthday Josephine❤❤❤😄
Best ballet ever!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Josephine
I've seen this before but it only gets better with repeated viewings. Moral of the story... don't take yourself too seriously, even if you're a prima ballerina!
This ballet dance has been my favorite since I was like 7
If I remember correctly the gal with the selfie stick right at the end is the choreographer.
I've been asking for this video for a long time. Thank you!!! 🤣
I've seen this before and tried to send it to you. Absolutely hysterical.
I would love to see this ballet in person!❤❤❤❤
OMG! I didn't think I was going to catch my breath I was laughing so hard.
that would be so fun to watch in person.
I think that must have been somewhat cathartic for the dancers. 😆
When I was little, after the older girls danced, there were bows and glitter and hairpieces all over the stage.
I would like to have been there when this was suggested at rehearsal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Genius.
I wanna be in a ballet like that!!! That would be so fun to learn and perform
2:27 best ballet move ever
Happy birthday! Your reaction vids are great for a gray day
i’ve been waiting for u to do this!
Happy belated Birthday Josephine
I love that it started of as normal and then it got crazy 😂😂
Organized chaos and I’m so here for it. 😂😂😂😂😂
You should probably react to Darcey Bussell and Dawn French
Ohh myyy goosshhhhh I’m so glad you finally saw it!!!

The little shout out to the Center Stage Pat de Toris was just icing on the cake
Thank you SO MUCH for reacting to my suggested vid! This made my day :D
