My God. I wish I had this kind of outlet to share my feelings for Yuzuru. He is a treasure. And I too love hearing people say good things about him because it shows me that they understand just how special he is. He is my uplifting positivity every single day. Thank you for uploading this. ❤️❤️🤗
Большое спасибо за ваше видео. Я и раньше восхищалась красотой линий и каждого движения Юдзуру. Но только благодаря Вашим профессиональным комментариям стало окончательно понятно, каким уникальным есть талант этого парня и какого труда стоит та лёгкость, которой мы привыкли восхищаться. Удачи Вам и вашим девочкам!
I just saw the video in my timeline and directly decided to watch it. I dance ballet for a long time now and (of course) I happen to be a huge fan of Yuzuru Hanyu since I first saw him skate during a world championchip just before his first olympic medal. Literally none of my friends ever watched a figure skating performance yet I remember myself sitting there rooting for him after seeing him perform just a few minutes (I feel that that happened to all of his fans ;) ) A few years later I saw him live at the GP final in Turin in december last year and it meant the world to me. To the whole conservatory: The Haru Yo Koi performance is just breathtakingly beautiful. The choreography at the beginning representing the fans being connected to the representation of cherry blossoms made me tear up a little. :) The way you combined a tribute to him as well as giving it your own colours is just wonderful and since Haru Yo Koi is my alltime favorite Yuzuru Hanyu - performance I cannot help to compare it. But seeing you all being inspired by his art and unique way to express himself through music and movements is somehow something that I think Hanyu himself would be incredibly happy to see. I´m always amazed by how people react to a video of his performance since it´s generally the same: I´m getting goosebumps or how can he do it so seeminglesly perfect? The way you analyzed demonstrates it very detailed and I´m going to show this video to all of my friends now so that they can get amazed a little more :D. I truly wish you all the best and that these times we live in will pass fast. Thank you so much again and as a fellow Hanyu fan I hope that we can watch many more of his stunning works.
thank you for this beautiful tribute to Yuzuru's skating, both choreographies are spectacular and your comments about Yuzuru also made me very happy, especially coming not only from a fan but from a ballet expert.🥰🥰 Greeting from Mexico!!
I love Yuzuru and his performances. And I’m so happy to hear a wonderful lecture about how awesome he is by a professional ballet choreographer!!! Thank you so much.
I feel so happy that someone in the world also admires and respects Yuzuru Hanyu. He is one of a kind, a once in a lifetime skater. I am so glad that someone can talk about him from a professional side like how gorgeous he is in his dancing abilities and music interpretation. Thank you!
Simply Breathtaking! 😊❤🙏 Everyone understood a long time ago that Yuzuru Hanyu has always dancing the ballet on the ice,except ISU and the judges! They has never seen his Incredible greatness and how rare phenomenon Yuzuru Hanyu is! Thank you so much for your awesome work with your amazing dancer's ! ❤🙏 You maybe has opened some eyes to see and understand that Yuzuru Hanyu is once of the life time phenomenon on the ice . There was no one pefore him and there is no one after him either! Yuzuru Hanyu is unique! 😊🙏 PS: His name in the English language is "Having Wings"is pretty unbleviable that he has the name what it's so true in the reality when he is flying on the ice like a most brilliant and totally weightless and shining bird in his adorable ballet on the ice! ❤😊🙏
Thank you so much for sharing with us the similarities between Yuzuru Hanyu's skating and ballet. I really appreciate it! I am not sure if you know this but north american media often tries to mislead fans by depicting some of their skaters with ballet background as balletic when in reality there isnt really much of a connection. On top of that, many of Yuzuru antis would claim that Yuzuru is not balletic. However, from watching your video and other reading words from other global professional ballet dancers on how similar Yuzuru's skating resonates with ballet, I could affirm that he is balletic. Your passion really shines through when explaining it. I love the fact that professionals around the world are inspired by Yuzuru's technical and artistic skills. When a skater is truly great, they do not get exposed by professionals but instead, people could appreciate them more because these professionals, like you, are able to point out the level of difficulties the skater is doing. Yuzuru is truly an artistically gifted skater but he also works extra hard technically to make it look easy. His skating may be undervalued by judges but what he produces on the ice will always be a legacy.
When I first saw Yuzuru skate, I was confused in hearing that people did not consider his performances balletic. As a ballet instructor I find that everything he does is balletic.
@@crescendoconservatory They must be blind... I'm only a part of the audience. Even I don't know the names of the poses, but I'm not blind to see the similarities and his extreme flexibility and strength...
I'm seeing this video for the first time and I'm excited. I have always loved classical dance despite not being able to practice it and for a few years I have been following Yuzuru Hanyu who I consider, like most Fanyu, the Ice Prince, number 1 in the world for technique, expressiveness, musicality and creativity. This conference made me It moved me so much that I saved the video in my favorites. The words of such an expert choreographer confirm to me that Yuzuru goes beyond simple figure skating. In conclusion, I found your choreography of Starry Night and Haru Yo Koi so splendid, delicate, centered, the costumes simple but enriched by the movements of the dancers which give that added value to the whole representation. Thank you for this precious gift and good work. Un saluto dall'Italia
I really didn't expect to be so teary watching this video. My heart exploded! Truly. Everything in this video is so beautiful. Your choreography, your interpretation of Yuzuru's programs, how you describe everything are just so amazing and enriching as well. Thank you so much for sharing this widely. You just got one big fan here from Indonesia. stay safe and hopefully we can see more of your future work here :)
This video is very informative. I’m neither a ballet dancer nor a figure skater but your information made me appreciate Yuzuru even more. The skills that you speak of needs to be a part of his scoring. He is a complete figure skater.
Ahhhh! So glad to see this uploaded. It was a great lesson, thank you Christina! No one better than a professional ballet dancer and teacher to detail how balletic Yuzuru's every move is. And to think that man hardly had a class or two of ballet and is practically a self-made ballet dancer. 🤯 his mind! The GOAT of Figure Skating.
A BIG YES!!!! We are very lucky to have this magnificent young man in our lifes. We get to see good quality skating,and who knows may be in our life time we will never see another like him.
He is really a dancing soul, an old friend...wherever he is, he never leaves his desire to dance...but I always leave the choices to him, I just support. From old times he always do 180 degree differently from what I think he will do ...that is why I like his style, dojng reversely that everybody thinks...☺️🤭😂
@@blackswan.7005 I had the same impression, I genuinely thought he had ballet training, I read/watched somewhere that he did not so I would like to confirm. His flexibility and his elegant moves are balletic.
Green Tea Saw an interview that he did not “formally” take any dance lessons. Just a couple here and there but more of just a summer thing. It actually blew my mind because with how artistic he is, all along I thought that he did.
You are right about Notte Stellata. I don't know how many times I've watched this video and it stills amazes me. Thanks a lot for this video. I love watching ballet and figure skating is my favorite sport. Needless to say that Yuzuru is my favorite. The best of all times. This video is a very pleasant experience in this times of confinement.
Thank you for this, & for your great and genuine appreciation of Yuzuru. Your tutorial makes watching our brilliant Yuzuru, even more fascinating. Yuzuru is an absolute natural isn't he?
Thank you, Christina! I can't agree more that "stillness is underrated." I also love your emphasis on Yuzuru's phrasing. These are some of the special things that he does so very well and set him apart even among skaters at the very top. Nevertheless, he is so much more than being technically superb. I still remember how moved I was when I saw Haru yo Koi in person in Helsinki (I think you'll enjoy this slow-mo version of it th-cam.com/video/1MXjpK2-LbQ/w-d-xo.html.) Every time I talk to a fellow Yuzu fan, I feel an immediate kinship because of the shared aesthetics, so the sense of connectedness you touched upon toward the end really resonates with me. Best wishes to you and your fabulous dancers for getting back on stage!
So well expressed! Thank you, SC Chiu, and thank you, Christina, for this wonderful and informative post. I'm not a ballet dancer or an ice skater, so it's great to hear that my gut feeling about Yuzuru's artistry is validated and then some! How beautiful your choreography is, Christina. It's a true tribute to Yuzuru's Notte Stellata. Haru Yo, Koi is also an amazing tribute.
That was amazing to watch. The hydroblade, my gawd, and seeing how his body moves and how he positions his legs/feet and arms/hands... an astounding athlete. If you can skate like that, you'd never want to do anything else.
New fan of figure skating and know nothing about ballet. At first I saw his programmes, I just liked them. Your explaination enlightens me the deep beauty of his performance. Thank you.
Thank u so much for the explanation, i always thought Yuzuru also a balletic, the movement of his body show that, and i want to say, Yuzuru is the most beautiful ellegance artistry skater, the prince of ice !
When I heard you many times saying -in twitter- that his moves are so balletic i thought yeah his moves are so beautiful and maybe generally looks like ballet. But when i listened to your explanation i was amazed about how detailed similarities they have; to the tips of his fingers!! Just Wow!! Thank you. -& sorry cause i know almost nothing about ballet moves-. Now i really wish someone asks him just how much ballet research he did XD I'm curious!! As a painter I love his love for details so much, not only to his skating, but also his music, custom and very detailed moves which you notice sometimes after the 10th watch of the same program. It's ART. I always watch his programs on slow motion and still enjoy it very much!! It's shows how he's on point with the music. One of Hanyu's aims for his skating was to look beautiful from every angle, because the rink is round. And i think he nailed this just perfectly. I'm his fan since 2014, but didn't had the chance to see him live.. hopefully one day 💕
Gracias por tan bellas palabras hacia Hanyu Sama. Como estudiante de la mente humana, te puedo decir que él encaja en las cualidades que tienen las personas sobredotadas de IQ, entonces él es un autodidacta que aprende viendo y escuchando, lo demostró con sus primeros intentos de 3A del libro de texto de patinaje y con todos sus saltos, una emulación que sólo quienes poseen altos rangos de la inteligencia denominada espacial (y aunada a los mismos rangos altos en inteligencia conocida como expresión corporal y también la inteligencia de expresión verbal) son capaces de realizar y eso hace en él un tipo de atleta denominado: «paquete completo» que comparte con atletas reinantes y dominantes en sus disciplinas (hablo específicamente de Michael Jordan), el autodidacta determinado y sobredotado no tiene límites, Hanyu Sama tiene estudiado y analizado hasta la postura de cada uno de sus dedos cuando patina y danza en el hielo, tiene estudiada la fricción en el viento que generan las piedras de sus trajes para sus saltos, giros y vuelos, creo que con su deseo de aprender a bailar según él en el hielo, veremos aun cosas más sorprendentes en el hielo.
Mientras él tenga el.deseo de mostrar su patinaje artístico que él concibe, seguirá estudiando cada detalle de sus movimientos en el hielo... si él es capaz de hablar por días sobre el mundo del patinaje artístico junior y senior a nivel mundial, imagina cuanto investigará de cada disciplina que involucre la manifestación de su arte en los patines a través del basto mundo del arte en la danza?
Christina, thank you for your time and effort in making this video. So interesting and very educational to say the least. It's amazing how people in the performing art industry, both ballet artists and musicians, as well as world class athletes from other sports, in particular gymnastics, all marvel at the musicality of Yuzuru. His program is seamless, not broken into individual pieces of jumps and spins and what have you, but all connected as one performance from beginning to end which is probably the biggest reason why people, both figure skating fans and non-figure skating fans, are in awe when they see him skate. It really is a PERFORMING ART ! To hear the same thing coming from a professional ballet choreographer/director as yourself, only validates what his true talent is. I hope more people realize this as opposed to just the unbelievable skating talent he has, and I believe your video will do that. Lastly, regarding your last comments about Yuzuru as a person, all the non-figure skating people that come across talking to him, ie; reporters, security staff, ice rink staff, cameraman, airport staff and cabin attendants, all say he acts no different from just an ordinary person an never acts like a prized athlete. I am not a follower, per se, of Yuzuru Hanyu, but he genuinely seems to be a real nice young man.
WE LOVE YOUR BALLET PLUS IT IS GREAT TO SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL YOUR DANCERS AND MOST OF ALL , PRAY THAT EVERYONE ARE SAFE AND HEALTH. TO MEET AGAIN AT ONE OF THE COMING YUZURU'S COMPETITION 2021.
Thank you for putting a professional context to what a layperson feels watching Yuzu but may not have the ability to express in technical terms. As you say, it all works together to make the audience feel relaxed, assured that you are in the hands of an utter master artist at work. I wanted to say of the Biellmann spin, acknowledging the flexibility needed to perform it, I rarely find it aesthetically pleasing to watch--except when Yuzu does it. Again, his innate understanding of the lines of his own body come into play again, and he transforms this spin into something really beautiful. Thank you again. So satisfying to see Yuzu get such a deserved analysis.
Desde que vi a Yuzuru Hanyu me provocó sentimientos profundos...me encanta el Lago de los Cisnes...siempre he pensado que es un bailarín de ballet sobre hielo...
We enjoyed Christina's love of Yuzu. It was so interesting to hear you talk about the work that was created, even tribute to Yuzu relationship with he fans. It's wonderful. I am grateful for the connection that Yuzu makes. I was almost in tears. Digging into it from so many different angles, I found new surprises and discoveries that I didn't even know existed. It's great fun. Tickets to a Yuzu competition are hard to come by. Eventually, you'll be able to watch most of it on TV (aside from the pay channels), very close up I'm thinking that I'll be able to see the expressions on the athletes' faces and the details of their outfits at the end of the day, so I'm trying to change my mind. But knowing the compassion that Yuzu had for the people who came to see him, I knew that I should go visit him once in a while. I also wanted to keep the desire to carry it in mind. I want to make the venue more exciting with all the people who visit, and I want to be a part of it. To have a lot of people at the venue cheering... if that's what it takes to support a skater's heart. I still want to help. As a high school student, figure skating tickets are expensive for me. Japan's famous artistic directors are offering high school students tickets to quality, popular performances at low prices. When he himself was in high school, he saw a play directed by Peter Brook, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" which was a major motivator for him to pursue a career in theater. Based on this experience, he decided to offer a discount for high school students in 2010, with the aim of "providing a place where people can experience quality art at an impressionable age." I hope the Japanese figure skating community can learn from this. I used a translation site to write it because I'm not very good at English. Let's get this week started again, but I hope you have a great day.
Thank you. I went to ballet class when I was young. My sister was a ballet teacher before retired. I've also enjoyed figure skating since 1988 but only paid attention to pair and female skaters. I know skating and ballet require different technique. But we can always recognize when someone who never had a chance to a dance class has the feel, the passion of dancing. I just watched Notte Stellata a few hours ago and thought this is ballet on ice. And your vid popped up!
Thank you, Christina. About Yuzuru one can talk from the Traditional Japanese Theatre point of view (Mansai Nomura), martial arts, Eurythmy (esoteric art of movement), you name it. You do it from yours, and you do it really well. Thank you again. Little detail: on the ice with Spread Eagle or Ina Bauer the feet HAVE TO BE perfect 180 for not falling, on the floor you can do whatsoever to be comfortable!
First thank you so much for this! I did ballet for many years and finding this video. I knew it I am not imagining things. He is a natural. Ever since I saw his 2012 Romeo & Juliet. I hope someday I can see your work. God bless you and I send you the warmest of hugs from always sunny Dominican Republic.
thank you for helping us understand Yuzu's skating and ballet in his movements, it's lovely to understand so much more about ballet used in figure skating:)
Thank you. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I have no words to describe how I feel watching your video. I think both dances you choreographed are amazing and inspiring. I feel touched watching the side by side (?) with yuzu’s skating and the ballet. I’m so happy seeing that his gorgeous skatings have inspired you and results in such great things. Thank you again. Indeed, spring will come. Spring will always come and there’s hope. Stay safe and I hope to see your dancers perform one day!
Ballet and figure skating are my two preferred forms of art. To see you and your dancers combining them with my favourite skater is just beautiful. I feel like i am part of the circle and i enjoyed this immensely. Thank you.
Bravo! You are so creative, not only in choreography but costume design!!! Just loved your story about cutting up your costume jewelry....Bravo to your dancers !!
This was really educative and also I too thought he took ballet (I too fell for him after NOTTE STELLATA 😁). I've seen on YT both NS and HYK your ballet dancers did and I was really fascinated ~ they did such a good job in bringing along Yuzu's feels and steps ❤️ always thank you for making all this effort for Yuzu ❤️
Wow!!! I love the collaboration that your students are dancing with Yuzuru's skating👏👏👏. That is so amazing and impressed and I was moved deeply❤️. Thank you so much ✨✨✨‼️
When I first started watching Yuzuru, I thought that all he was about was the jumps. As I continued to watch him, I noticed his beautiful arm movements and body positions. I worry that all the jumping he does as it has caused him some injuries. But over time, his skating has gotten better. I am also a big fan of Jason Brown for the exact reasons that you stated. Thank you for a very insightful presentation.
Your first impression of him was that he was all about the jumps? Don't make me laugh, that was literally the definition of Nathan Chen a few years ago, but he's improved a lot since then.
I have a new appreciation for both ballet and ice skating. I really wanted more information about the note stellata when I saw it the first time. Now I know why it feels so beautiful and touching. Thanks for this video❤️❤️❤️
This is so emotional... I hope that both Yuzuru Hanyu and fans can watch this live one day - performed by ur family... Brilliant work and interpretation.. Love from Singapore...
I love hearing your passion for your profession! I think that’s also what Yuzuru has, a passion to give his best performance and inspire people! 💖greeting from Italy
Porfin alguien que entiende lo sorprendentemente bello que son los movimientos de yuzuru, realmente no he visto movimientos más bellos que los de él, tan elegantes, delicados. Gracias por su analisis se agradece mucho
Christina Valdez, what a stunning, sensitive and beautiful tribute to Yuzuru and to your dancers - and to us, his fans. I have watched this and cried and although this video is a couple of years old, I hope you have been able to fulfil your dreams and perform it again. I live in Australia, and there is no real knowledge of Yuzuru here so I am always looking for connection to him and his fans. I agree - they are so supportive and I am so glad you had positive feedback, as you should. I hope this is a work that can be performed for years into the future. Yuzuru has enriched my life. Every day. Thank you for this tribute. Gorgeous, beautiful and from the heart.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. I was inspired by Yuzuru after seeing him skate at the 2018 Olympics. He was graceful and balletic. I choreographed Notte Stellata thinking that no one but my small community in Kansas City would see it. I was stunned by the support we received via TH-cam. Yuzuru is an amazing skater and he deserves all the adoration from his fans. To answer your question, yes after the pandemic we were able to perform Notte Stellata live again. In fact I have a 4th generation of dancers that just performed it in April. I always sit them down and share my "Yuzu story" when I begin to teach the dance. ❤
Going through a Yuzuru TH-cam marathon recently and found your video! Thanks I love it. I describe Yuzuru's Performance as " cleaning my soul", you used a similar phasing at the beginning, definitely feel connected! Thanks for Haru yo Koi it is my favorite Yuzuru gala and your choreo is really moving too. I don't know anything about ballet so I enjoyed the lecture at the beginning. When I saw Yuzuru the first time I was fascinated by his beautiful body lines, you can't take your eyes off, and as you said I enjoy his practice sessions the most, especially Otonal step sequence, is out off this world! Good luck to you and your dancers!
So touching!Thanks for your all hard work to make more people can feel the beauty & tallented & graceful from Dear Yuzuru! when watching your performers,I can feel peace and the meaning inside your heart! Thanks for keeping by Yuzuru side! I'm glad to see your new performers!
Seeing the superimposed videos really helped me see the phrasing you spoke of in both performances. And your explanation in regards to your choreography made me feel very warm and happy to know you're part of the fandom! It's beautiful, thoughtful and creatively conveyed :) Seriously I have a newfound appreciation for choreography now. Plus I just have to say seeing your proud smiles while watching your dancers perform brought tears to my eyes - it's amazing to see them all come together and make that vision come true. Esp in Haru Yo Koi.. I don't know much about ballet but I just have to say the choreography looks dynamic, and the positions and movements of the dancers are very aesthetically pleasing. Love love love how the dresses look as the girls move
Actually, if Yuzuru was not obsessed with the 4A jump, he would have won every single competition in the last 6 years:) But he is the epitome of a first class athlete and he was not going to stop in his quest of mastering an impossible technical jump. Now that Yuzuru turned professional there is no stopping him.
No I don't think Yuzuru could have won anymore major competitions after PyeongChang Olympics. It's not that because he's obsessed with 4A or he's lacking in skills. Simply with GOE +-5 and judges not respecting the rulebook, Yuzuru just could not win anymore. They won't let him.
All I can say is Wow.... I am wowed by all the effort that was put in to this (by you, your dancers, the translator, etc). Great job, I hope Yuzuru continues to inspire you in all your endeavors. Of course I am also wowed by Yuzuru - his skating, his talent, and just everything about him. I wish Yuzuru could see this, I'm sure he would appreciate it, just as much as his fans would.
L C this was awesome! So thoughtful and I appreciated you taking us through your journey of artistry. Beautiful choreo based on the awe inspiring Yuzuru.
as a non-ballet person, this is an interesting video, very informative. You are right, just watching Yuzuru skate makes you happy and appreciate beauty and art. Priceless. To understand the intricacies is an icing on the cake. THank you!
I love you for this 🥰, I came across your video on Yuzuru fb page being promoted in facebook and here I am. Yuzuru really has a lot of professional women behind him (supporting him) and you’re one of them ❤️.
Hello Mrs. Valdez, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video! It is very interesting to see that everything that I felt with my subjective feeling is explained objectively and professionally from the perspective of a ballet teacher. And your love for Yuzu is just like mine!
I agree on everything you said on such a deep level 🩷 i wish you were my choreographer lol, I’m a figure skater and former ballet dancer. I mastered the hydroblade because of him, and just like you said, watch his performances if im feeling down. It just lights up My soul. Especially notte stellata. Theres another recording of the performance in called “rostelecon cup 2017” where he skates notte stellata but with even more passion! (I thought it was impossible) if I ever achieve just a fraction of Yuzuru grace, I would be forever happy loll. It’s so clear that you have a deep understanding and sense for musicality and phrasing because the ballet choreography felt original while still fitting with the music in a similar way to Yuzuru. It’s just amazing. I wish I could dance with you, and your dancers and perform yuzu-inspired shows. This video made me so happy, and I’m so glad you made it^^
Watch this to appreciated you guys and also my lovely pro skater Yuzuru Hanyu his skill really make you into him n feel natural also the way he tell the story n bring soul in her program is really so stunning.
I have no doubt that In another life Yuzuru is a ballet dancer, it just so happens that in this life he's born to figureskate and be the GOAT!
結弦さんは他の人より自分自身の研究努力を怠らないで怪我をしても速く治る事を考えリンクに立てるのを～決して諦めない、私は姿を見ると自然に涙💧してしまいます。やはり生きている限り陰ながら見守り応援したいと思います🍀❤️最後にこんな機会を下さり御礼申し上げます
My God. I wish I had this kind of outlet to share my feelings for Yuzuru. He is a treasure. And I too love hearing people say good things about him because it shows me that they understand just how special he is. He is my uplifting positivity every single day. Thank you for uploading this. ❤️❤️🤗

I hope this would reach Yuzu or his coaching staff. This is so touching whilst being informative.
thank you for this beautiful tribute to Yuzuru's skating, both choreographies are spectacular and your comments about Yuzuru also made me very happy, especially coming not only from a fan but from a ballet expert.🥰🥰 Greeting from Mexico!!

I love Yuzuru and his performances. And I’m so happy to hear a wonderful lecture about how awesome he is by a professional ballet choreographer!!! Thank you so much.

I‘m completely with you, when you speak about hearing positiv comments about Yuzuru. Thanks for your video!
春よ来い
very very good‼️
I feel so happy that someone in the world also admires and respects Yuzuru Hanyu. He is one of a kind, a once in a lifetime skater. I am so glad that someone can talk about him from a professional side like how gorgeous he is in his dancing abilities and music interpretation. Thank you!
Simply Breathtaking! 😊❤🙏
Everyone understood a long time ago that Yuzuru Hanyu has always dancing the ballet on the ice,except ISU and the judges!
They has never seen his Incredible greatness and how rare phenomenon Yuzuru Hanyu is!

You maybe has opened some eyes to see and understand that Yuzuru Hanyu is once of the life time phenomenon on the ice .

His skating is not sport - his skating is Great art
@@marinaseppar7613 It's both sport and great art. Have you ever seen his trixels?

I'm seeing this video for the first time and I'm excited. I have always loved classical dance despite not being able to practice it and for a few years I have been following Yuzuru Hanyu who I consider, like most Fanyu, the Ice Prince, number 1 in the world for technique, expressiveness, musicality and creativity. This conference made me It moved me so much that I saved the video in my favorites. The words of such an expert choreographer confirm to me that Yuzuru goes beyond simple figure skating. In conclusion, I found your choreography of Starry Night and Haru Yo Koi so splendid, delicate, centered, the costumes simple but enriched by the movements of the dancers which give that added value to the whole representation. Thank you for this precious gift and good work. Un saluto dall'Italia
Thank you. I am so glad you enjoyed the video.
Congratulations on the video!
Yuzuru Hanyu is spetacular! Wonderful!! The best!!
英語が分からない。😅
But,羽生選手の演技はバレエですよね。
美しくて優雅で華麗で素敵。
バレエの要素が入って、奥が深いですね。
クールダウンでさえも美しい。
ずっと見ていたいです。
大好き。💖💖💖

羽生選手は海外のテレビでも沢山解説されてるから、日本語訳にして観たいと思います。
楽しみ〜🎶
英語の勉強にもなるかも〜。
教えて頂き、ホントに有難うm(_ _)m

有難うございました。😄
👏👏👏
この素晴らしい講義3年前に発表されてたのですね。ゆづくんの強力な理解者を知ったことは私にとって幸せなことです。魂が震えるような感動を覚えました。今朝の支度をしなければならないところそれを無視して一気に見てしまいました。感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！又時間をつくって拝見させて頂きます。本当に有難うございます！
I really didn't expect to be so teary watching this video. My heart exploded! Truly. Everything in this video is so beautiful. Your choreography, your interpretation of Yuzuru's programs, how you describe everything are just so amazing and enriching as well. Thank you so much for sharing this widely. You just got one big fan here from Indonesia. stay safe and hopefully we can see more of your future work here :)
This video is very informative. I’m neither a ballet dancer nor a figure skater but your information made me appreciate Yuzuru even more. The skills that you speak of needs to be a part of his scoring. He is a complete figure skater.
Ahhhh! So glad to see this uploaded. It was a great lesson, thank you Christina! No one better than a professional ballet dancer and teacher to detail how balletic Yuzuru's every move is. And to think that man hardly had a class or two of ballet and is practically a self-made ballet dancer. 🤯 his mind! The GOAT of Figure Skating.
Thank you Val. Sorry it took me so long to upload. I am go glad you liked it.
Crescendo Conservatory Oh, Christina 😊 I know you were looking into the best way of uploading it. And it was worth the wait!
@@crescendoconservatory on
A BIG YES!!!! We are very lucky to have this magnificent young man in our lifes. We get to see good quality skating,and who knows may be in our life time we will never see another like him.
He is really a dancing soul, an old friend...wherever he is, he never leaves his desire to dance...but I always leave the choices to him, I just support. From old times he always do 180 degree differently from what I think he will do ...that is why I like his style, dojng reversely that everybody thinks...☺️🤭😂
No wonder I find his performances so mesmerising. Thank you so so much for this video, I appreciate it. I appreciate and love Yuzuru even more now.❤️
Thank you for finding Yuzuru Hanyu. and
Thank you for respecting Yuzuru Hanyu.
When I first saw YH skate, I actually thought he took ballet training together with figure skating training. He is absolutely stunning.
He did not take ballet class/training?
@@greentea8852 yes I know but when I first saw him skate, I thought he was a trained ballet dancer. That's how good his movements are.
@@blackswan.7005 I had the same impression, I genuinely thought he had ballet training, I read/watched somewhere that he did not so I would like to confirm. His flexibility and his elegant moves are balletic.
He mentioned in an interview in 2015 that he took 2 months ballet training.
Green Tea Saw an interview that he did not “formally” take any dance lessons. Just a couple here and there but more of just a summer thing. It actually blew my mind because with how artistic he is, all along I thought that he did.
You are right about Notte Stellata. I don't know how many times I've watched this video and it stills amazes me. Thanks a lot for this video. I love watching ballet and figure skating is my favorite sport. Needless to say that Yuzuru is my favorite. The best of all times. This video is a very pleasant experience in this times of confinement.
Thank you Cristina and thank you Crescendo Conservatory for spreading the word about Yuzuru's unequaled beauty.
Thank you for this, & for your great and genuine appreciation of Yuzuru. Your tutorial makes watching our brilliant Yuzuru, even more fascinating. Yuzuru is an absolute natural isn't he?
Thank you, Christina! I can't agree more that "stillness is underrated." I also love your emphasis on Yuzuru's phrasing. These are some of the special things that he does so very well and set him apart even among skaters at the very top. Nevertheless, he is so much more than being technically superb. I still remember how moved I was when I saw Haru yo Koi in person in Helsinki (I think you'll enjoy this slow-mo version of it th-cam.com/video/1MXjpK2-LbQ/w-d-xo.html.) Every time I talk to a fellow Yuzu fan, I feel an immediate kinship because of the shared aesthetics, so the sense of connectedness you touched upon toward the end really resonates with me. Best wishes to you and your fabulous dancers for getting back on stage!
So well expressed! Thank you, SC Chiu, and thank you, Christina, for this wonderful and informative post. I'm not a ballet dancer or an ice skater, so it's great to hear that my gut feeling about Yuzuru's artistry is validated and then some! How beautiful your choreography is, Christina. It's a true tribute to Yuzuru's Notte Stellata. Haru Yo, Koi is also an amazing tribute.
That was amazing to watch. The hydroblade, my gawd, and seeing how his body moves and how he positions his legs/feet and arms/hands... an astounding athlete. If you can skate like that, you'd never want to do anything else.
Bravissime!!
❤🇮🇪Yuzuru Hanyu!!!!
Uzuru super, bravo!!! 👍👌💘❤
Love love love your video and the instruction I have received as well as how you have honored Yuzuru... the Greatest Skater of ALL TIME!
Yuzuru Hanyu is amazing he is the ice king and Cristina is a fantastic and brilliant teacher, a queen!!!
I love yuzuru also because of his amazing performance...thank you
New fan of figure skating and know nothing about ballet. At first I saw his programmes, I just liked them. Your explaination enlightens me the deep beauty of his performance. Thank you.
Thank u so much for the explanation, i always thought Yuzuru also a balletic, the movement of his body show that, and i want to say, Yuzuru is the most beautiful ellegance artistry skater, the prince of ice !
When I heard you many times saying -in twitter- that his moves are so balletic i thought yeah his moves are so beautiful and maybe generally looks like ballet. But when i listened to your explanation i was amazed about how detailed similarities they have; to the tips of his fingers!! Just Wow!! Thank you. -& sorry cause i know almost nothing about ballet moves-.
Now i really wish someone asks him just how much ballet research he did XD I'm curious!! As a painter I love his love for details so much, not only to his skating, but also his music, custom and very detailed moves which you notice sometimes after the 10th watch of the same program. It's ART. I always watch his programs on slow motion and still enjoy it very much!! It's shows how he's on point with the music.
One of Hanyu's aims for his skating was to look beautiful from every angle, because the rink is round. And i think he nailed this just perfectly. I'm his fan since 2014, but didn't had the chance to see him live.. hopefully one day 💕
Gracias por tan bellas palabras hacia Hanyu Sama. Como estudiante de la mente humana, te puedo decir que él encaja en las cualidades que tienen las personas sobredotadas de IQ, entonces él es un autodidacta que aprende viendo y escuchando, lo demostró con sus primeros intentos de 3A del libro de texto de patinaje y con todos sus saltos, una emulación que sólo quienes poseen altos rangos de la inteligencia denominada espacial (y aunada a los mismos rangos altos en inteligencia conocida como expresión corporal y también la inteligencia de expresión verbal) son capaces de realizar y eso hace en él un tipo de atleta denominado: «paquete completo» que comparte con atletas reinantes y dominantes en sus disciplinas (hablo específicamente de Michael Jordan), el autodidacta determinado y sobredotado no tiene límites, Hanyu Sama tiene estudiado y analizado hasta la postura de cada uno de sus dedos cuando patina y danza en el hielo, tiene estudiada la fricción en el viento que generan las piedras de sus trajes para sus saltos, giros y vuelos, creo que con su deseo de aprender a bailar según él en el hielo, veremos aun cosas más sorprendentes en el hielo.
Mientras él tenga el.deseo de mostrar su patinaje artístico que él concibe, seguirá estudiando cada detalle de sus movimientos en el hielo... si él es capaz de hablar por días sobre el mundo del patinaje artístico junior y senior a nivel mundial, imagina cuanto investigará de cada disciplina que involucre la manifestación de su arte en los patines a través del basto mundo del arte en la danza?
Christina, thank you for your time and effort in making this video. So interesting and very educational to say the least. It's amazing how people in the performing art industry, both ballet artists and musicians, as well as world class athletes from other sports, in particular gymnastics, all marvel at the musicality of Yuzuru. His program is seamless, not broken into individual pieces of jumps and spins and what have you, but all connected as one performance from beginning to end which is probably the biggest reason why people, both figure skating fans and non-figure skating fans, are in awe when they see him skate. It really is a PERFORMING ART ! To hear the same thing coming from a professional ballet choreographer/director as yourself, only validates what his true talent is.
I hope more people realize this as opposed to just the unbelievable skating talent he has, and I believe your video will do that.
Lastly, regarding your last comments about Yuzuru as a person, all the non-figure skating people that come across talking to him, ie; reporters, security staff, ice rink staff, cameraman, airport staff and cabin attendants, all say he acts no different from just an ordinary person an never acts like a prized athlete. I am not a follower, per se, of Yuzuru Hanyu, but he genuinely seems to be a real nice young man.
WE LOVE YOUR BALLET PLUS IT IS GREAT TO SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL YOUR DANCERS AND MOST OF ALL , PRAY THAT EVERYONE ARE SAFE AND HEALTH. TO MEET AGAIN AT ONE OF THE COMING YUZURU'S COMPETITION 2021.
He's a bright light in the universe!
Thank you for putting a professional context to what a layperson feels watching Yuzu but may not have the ability to express in technical terms. As you say, it all works together to make the audience feel relaxed, assured that you are in the hands of an utter master artist at work.
I wanted to say of the Biellmann spin, acknowledging the flexibility needed to perform it, I rarely find it aesthetically pleasing to watch--except when Yuzu does it. Again, his innate understanding of the lines of his own body come into play again, and he transforms this spin into something really beautiful.
Thank you again. So satisfying to see Yuzu get such a deserved analysis.
Yulia Lipnitskaia's Biellmanns are also gorgeous, but they look so unnaturally painful 😣
Desde que vi a Yuzuru Hanyu me provocó sentimientos profundos...me encanta el Lago de los Cisnes...siempre he pensado que es un bailarín de ballet sobre hielo...
We enjoyed Christina's love of Yuzu. It was so interesting to hear you talk about the work that was created, even tribute to Yuzu relationship with he fans. It's wonderful. I am grateful for the connection that Yuzu makes. I was almost in tears. Digging into it from so many different angles, I found new surprises and discoveries that I didn't even know existed. It's great fun.
Tickets to a Yuzu competition are hard to come by. Eventually, you'll be able to watch most of it on TV (aside from the pay channels), very close up I'm thinking that I'll be able to see the expressions on the athletes' faces and the details of their outfits at the end of the day, so I'm trying to change my mind. But knowing the compassion that Yuzu had for the people who came to see him, I knew that I should go visit him once in a while. I also wanted to keep the desire to carry it in mind. I want to make the venue more exciting with all the people who visit, and I want to be a part of it. To have a lot of people at the venue cheering... if that's what it takes to support a skater's heart. I still want to help. As a high school student, figure skating tickets are expensive for me.
Japan's famous artistic directors are offering high school students tickets to quality, popular performances at low prices. When he himself was in high school, he saw a play directed by Peter Brook, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" which was a major motivator for him to pursue a career in theater. Based on this experience, he decided to offer a discount for high school students in 2010, with the aim of "providing a place where people can experience quality art at an impressionable age." I hope the Japanese figure skating community can learn from this. I used a translation site to write it because I'm not very good at English. Let's get this week started again, but I hope you have a great day.
Thank you. I went to ballet class when I was young. My sister was a ballet teacher before retired. I've also enjoyed figure skating since 1988 but only paid attention to pair and female skaters. I know skating and ballet require different technique. But we can always recognize when someone who never had a chance to a dance class has the feel, the passion of dancing. I just watched Notte Stellata a few hours ago and thought this is ballet on ice. And your vid popped up!
thank you for the show, very beautiful! Yuzuru is the amazing skating, we started following his skating since 2011 at 4CC in Taiwan
I think I’m pretty late to this video but thank you so much for all your efforts!!
Thank you, Christina. About Yuzuru one can talk from the Traditional Japanese Theatre point of view (Mansai Nomura), martial arts, Eurythmy (esoteric art of movement), you name it. You do it from yours, and you do it really well. Thank you again.
Little detail: on the ice with Spread Eagle or Ina Bauer the feet HAVE TO BE perfect 180 for not falling, on the floor you can do whatsoever to be comfortable!
First thank you so much for this! I did ballet for many years and finding this video. I knew it I am not imagining things. He is a natural. Ever since I saw his 2012 Romeo & Juliet. I hope someday I can see your work. God bless you and I send you the warmest of hugs from always sunny Dominican Republic.
thank you for helping us understand Yuzu's skating and ballet in his movements, it's lovely to understand so much more about ballet used in figure skating:)
Thank you. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I have no words to describe how I feel watching your video. I think both dances you choreographed are amazing and inspiring. I feel touched watching the side by side (?) with yuzu’s skating and the ballet. I’m so happy seeing that his gorgeous skatings have inspired you and results in such great things. Thank you again. Indeed, spring will come. Spring will always come and there’s hope. Stay safe and I hope to see your dancers perform one day!
Ballet and figure skating are my two preferred forms of art. To see you and your dancers combining them with my favourite skater is just beautiful. I feel like i am part of the circle and i enjoyed this immensely. Thank you.
Bravo! You are so creative, not only in choreography but costume design!!! Just loved your story about cutting up your costume jewelry....Bravo to your dancers !!
This was really educative and also I too thought he took ballet (I too fell for him after NOTTE STELLATA 😁). I've seen on YT both NS and HYK your ballet dancers did and I was really fascinated ~ they did such a good job in bringing along Yuzu's feels and steps ❤️ always thank you for making all this effort for Yuzu ❤️
Wow!!! I love the collaboration that your students are dancing with Yuzuru's skating👏👏👏. That is so amazing and impressed and I was moved deeply❤️. Thank you so much ✨✨✨‼️
When I first started watching Yuzuru, I thought that all he was about was the jumps. As I continued to watch him, I noticed his beautiful arm movements and body positions. I worry that all the jumping he does as it has caused him some injuries. But over time, his skating has gotten better. I am also a big fan of Jason Brown for the exact reasons that you stated. Thank you for a very insightful presentation.
Your first impression of him was that he was all about the jumps? Don't make me laugh, that was literally the definition of Nathan Chen a few years ago, but he's improved a lot since then.
love you for loving Yuzuru. You and your dancers are awesome.
I have a new appreciation for both ballet and ice skating. I really wanted more information about the note stellata when I saw it the first time. Now I know why it feels so beautiful and touching. Thanks for this video❤️❤️❤️
Your technical explanation is very helpful. Thank you! Wish someone would do the same about step sequence.
Thank you very much. I also love ballet. Thanks to your analysis, Hanyu Yuzuru is really very excellent. He is the best figure skater ever!!!
This is so emotional... I hope that both Yuzuru Hanyu and fans can watch this live one day - performed by ur family...
Brilliant work and interpretation..
Love from Singapore...
I love hearing your passion for your profession! I think that’s also what Yuzuru has, a passion to give his best performance and inspire people! 💖greeting from Italy
Your dancers' performances were absolutely beautiful! I hope Yuzu had a chance to watch them.
Absolutely beautiful! At 33:14 and 46:47 made me cry. Christina, fantastic job!
Porfin alguien que entiende lo sorprendentemente bello que son los movimientos de yuzuru, realmente no he visto movimientos más bellos que los de él, tan elegantes, delicados. Gracias por su analisis se agradece mucho
I love it. Your passion is so palpable. And it is very interesting to glimpse some insights into the choreo process.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Christina Valdez, what a stunning, sensitive and beautiful tribute to Yuzuru and to your dancers - and to us, his fans. I have watched this and cried and although this video is a couple of years old, I hope you have been able to fulfil your dreams and perform it again. I live in Australia, and there is no real knowledge of Yuzuru here so I am always looking for connection to him and his fans. I agree - they are so supportive and I am so glad you had positive feedback, as you should. I hope this is a work that can be performed for years into the future. Yuzuru has enriched my life. Every day. Thank you for this tribute. Gorgeous, beautiful and from the heart.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. I was inspired by Yuzuru after seeing him skate at the 2018 Olympics. He was graceful and balletic. I choreographed Notte Stellata thinking that no one but my small community in Kansas City would see it. I was stunned by the support we received via TH-cam. Yuzuru is an amazing skater and he deserves all the adoration from his fans. To answer your question, yes after the pandemic we were able to perform Notte Stellata live again. In fact I have a 4th generation of dancers that just performed it in April. I always sit them down and share my "Yuzu story" when I begin to teach the dance. ❤
谢谢你的视频，谢谢你对羽生的认可，他真的是一个很了不起的人，我很喜欢他，我是来自泰国粉丝
Going through a Yuzuru TH-cam marathon recently and found your video!
Thanks I love it.
I describe Yuzuru's Performance as " cleaning my soul", you used a similar phasing at the beginning, definitely feel connected!
Thanks for Haru yo Koi it is my favorite Yuzuru gala and your choreo is really moving too.
I don't know anything about ballet so I enjoyed the lecture at the beginning.
When I saw Yuzuru the first time I was fascinated by his beautiful body lines, you can't take your eyes off, and as you said I enjoy his practice sessions the most, especially Otonal step sequence, is out off this world!
Good luck to you and your dancers!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the dance.
So touching!Thanks for your all hard work to make more people can feel the beauty & tallented & graceful from Dear Yuzuru! when watching your performers,I can feel peace and the meaning inside your heart! Thanks for keeping by Yuzuru side! I'm glad to see your new performers!
Seeing the superimposed videos really helped me see the phrasing you spoke of in both performances. And your explanation in regards to your choreography made me feel very warm and happy to know you're part of the fandom! It's beautiful, thoughtful and creatively conveyed :) Seriously I have a newfound appreciation for choreography now.
Plus I just have to say seeing your proud smiles while watching your dancers perform brought tears to my eyes - it's amazing to see them all come together and make that vision come true. Esp in Haru Yo Koi.. I don't know much about ballet but I just have to say the choreography looks dynamic, and the positions and movements of the dancers are very aesthetically pleasing. Love love love how the dresses look as the girls move
Thank you for your lovely words. I am glad that you liked the choreography.
Thank you very much.IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL!I love Yuzuru so I'm happy to see this performance.I want to see next one.
Absolutnie piękne. Yuzuru to japoński fenomen. Pozdrowienia z Polski.
Actually, if Yuzuru was not obsessed with the 4A jump, he would have won every single competition in the last 6 years:) But he is the epitome of a first class athlete and he was not going to stop in his quest of mastering an impossible technical jump. Now that Yuzuru turned professional there is no stopping him.
No I don't think Yuzuru could have won anymore major competitions after PyeongChang Olympics. It's not that because he's obsessed with 4A or he's lacking in skills. Simply with GOE +-5 and judges not respecting the rulebook, Yuzuru just could not win anymore. They won't let him.
A wonderful presentation of a gorgeously choreographed, beautiful ballet group, in honor of an amazing artist! Lots of support and love from Norway!
All I can say is Wow.... I am wowed by all the effort that was put in to this (by you, your dancers, the translator, etc).
Great job, I hope Yuzuru continues to inspire you in all your endeavors.
Of course I am also wowed by Yuzuru - his skating, his talent, and just everything about him.
I wish Yuzuru could see this, I'm sure he would appreciate it, just as much as his fans would.
L C this was awesome! So thoughtful and I appreciated you taking us through your journey of artistry. Beautiful choreo based on the awe inspiring Yuzuru.
as a non-ballet person, this is an interesting video, very informative. You are right, just watching Yuzuru skate makes you happy and appreciate beauty and art. Priceless. To understand the intricacies is an icing on the cake. THank you!
I love you for this 🥰, I came across your video on Yuzuru fb page being promoted in facebook and here I am. Yuzuru really has a lot of professional women behind him (supporting him) and you’re one of them ❤️.
from JAPAN のひとりとして発言します。 私の大好きな 「ヤマカイＴＶ」の ＭＲ．ＹＡＭＡＭＯＴＯ ＫＡＩＴＯ にも見て欲しい、今回の動画解説でした。さすがプロの方々です。羽生 結弦さんのファンの一人として、私はとっても感動しました。日本語で画面に表示されていたので、理解できました。ありがとうございます。バレエって本当に身体の限界にまで挑戦する競技で「芸術」そのものだと、素人からみてもすごいことだと思います。 ヤマカイＴＶの動画は楽しく冗談も交えていて、キャラクターに親しみを感じ、キュートな仕上がりになっています。、ヤマカイさんがバレエを親しみやすくたくさんの人たちに身近に感じていただきたいという思いを持って、動画を仕上げている工夫が感じられます。私のような素人がバレエを理解する入口になっているし、ヤマカイさんがネレアさんといっしょに、バレエをもっとたくさんのひとに応援してもらいたいという、熱い思いがひしひしと感じられます。 こてこての固い内容の動画だと、バレエの観覧は敷居がたかくて行かれなかったけれど、ヤマカイさんとネレアさんが出演するバレエなら、ぜひ見に行きたいなあって思っています。私は素人だけど、体の柔軟性を高めてみたいなあ・・・ってヤマカイさんの動画を見ながら頑張ってみています。 多くの人たちにヤマカイさんのひそかな頑張りと、羽生 結弦さんのすばらしさとバレエのすごさを知ってもらいたくなりました。ネイサン チェンさんは、バレエも長くやっていた方だと、知った時に、バレエってすごいなと、つくづく思いました。
さまざまな競技や芸術がたくさんの文化の中で生まれてきているわけで、これから私が生きていくうえで、とてもとても楽しみが増えたなぁとおもってワクワクしています。すべての努力者にＹＥＬL！！！ ＾○＾♪ 素敵なものを見させていただきます。
Hello Mrs. Valdez, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video!
It is very interesting to see that everything that I felt with my subjective feeling is explained objectively and professionally from the perspective of a ballet teacher.
And your love for Yuzu is just like mine!
I agree on everything you said on such a deep level 🩷 i wish you were my choreographer lol, I’m a figure skater and former ballet dancer. I mastered the hydroblade because of him, and just like you said, watch his performances if im feeling down. It just lights up My soul. Especially notte stellata. Theres another recording of the performance in called “rostelecon cup 2017” where he skates notte stellata but with even more passion! (I thought it was impossible) if I ever achieve just a fraction of Yuzuru grace, I would be forever happy loll. It’s so clear that you have a deep understanding and sense for musicality and phrasing because the ballet choreography felt original while still fitting with the music in a similar way to Yuzuru. It’s just amazing. I wish I could dance with you, and your dancers and perform yuzu-inspired shows. This video made me so happy, and I’m so glad you made it^^
Thank you very much 💖💖💖💖
Thank you, Christina.
Thank you for the wonderful lecture and the moving performance.
Thank you for this video!
I was moved and almost cried(;´Д｀)
I look forward to your wonderful performance ✨✨✨From Japan.
This is amazing, thank you for sharing the art and love for Yuzu.
Watch this to appreciated you guys and also my lovely pro skater Yuzuru Hanyu his skill really make you into him n feel natural also the way he tell the story n bring soul in her program is really so stunning.
Thank you, it was a very interesting video, with some really amazing insights! And congrats on the choreography, it is really beautiful!
I love your passion and work! I watched your video and felt your positive attitude. Thanks you for posting it and shared your love of Yuzu.
Thank you for this amazing video.
謝謝您的分享😘羽生結弦完美的演繹都是感動與觸動內心❤️看多少次都一樣⋯致敬偉大的藝術家羽生結弦💕
thank you so much! this is all very beautiful!!!
Thank youuu...love the way you explained to us
Thanks for your amazing lecture! Now I got why Yuzuru is the best in ice skating.
