The “dramatic cape flip” provoked that rare “double-guffaw” phenomenon for me - one for each repetition. Thank-you!
"Ballet isn't for men because it is fluffy"
HA! I say and a double HA HA! Every single guy (myself included) in our ballet class leaves feeling like we've run two marathons back to back. Our teacher is lovely but she pushes you to improve as much as you reasonably can. Anyone who thinks any form of dance is not a gruelling work out is a fool who lives in blissful ignorance.
Hahaha! We’re right there with you! Ballet is so ridiculously hard, and we appreciate you male dancers for everything you do. Y’all are amazing! 🥳🥳
In my amateur running classes, we make an exercise, a one-leg burpee, so exhausting!. Well, one day I saw a female ballet dancer doing that like almost nothing. They are BADASS!!..
As a recovering ballet man … I’ve seen the most talented principal with a major company do a belly fop to the floor in performance, just on landing a Grand Jeté En Tournant. Sometimes it’s just a fault in the stage flooring. It happens. While this was an obvious fall, …
I admire and make note of the many saves I view in pirouettes & such gone off balance. One can see the initial bobble, or off-center angle early, … yet the save/the expert finish, the recovery is virtuosic … much of ballet dancing expertise is in the saves, the Houdini-like escapes … requisite virtuosity
At least the cape guy never yanked it from under the ballerina’s foot, sending her flying 😄
Super extra late here, but I love how you guys always pointed out something good the dancers did despite the fail - checking on each other, continuing to dance, getting up quickly, holding their pose so their partner could try again. It made it so much more fun to watch than just seeing all the mistakes.
But also I totally watched every mishap twice, once to see what happened and then again to enjoy your reactions too. You two are priceless!
There’s something good in everything ☺️ thanks for reacting with us! Glad u enjoyed ✨
I've been that guy at the end, who screwed up the very last thing he had to do on stage... though in my case I was at the piano, not dancing. I was playing C.P.E Bach's Solfeggietto, a swirling late-Baroque piece in the key of C minor. Note that key. It was going very well. My switches in notes between left and right hands were clean, clipped, well-timed; I had the dynamics of louder and softer passages coming through clearly, leading into the final rush up the keyboard. Not a single mistake had I made, until that very last note, when I arpeggioed my way up the keyboard... and concluded the piece with a crashing C SHARP.
This was followed by my loud "AAARGH!" and an immediate thump of the C natural.
The literal only note I screwed up was the very last one in the piece.
My audience fell about laughing, so at least there was that.
I love how the music at 5:20 fit perfectly for the guy getting entangled in the curtain xD
also, that moment when the cape gets caught under Odile's foot (11:20) feels really symbolic for their dynamic xD
the way the pas de deux face punch happens at the most ominous and dramatic part of the song 😭😭😂
Edna Mode: No capes!
😂😂😂
Danseurs have to put up with sweat flinging in their faces during pirouettes too 🤣
In one of our exams at Uni, I ended the fouettés in the fourth position but my back leg just slipped out (obviously my weight placement was too far back) and I ended the routine on my butt. But my arms were still in perfect position. All the examiners had a giggle. I of course, laughed out loud 🤦♀️
One more thing, vis-a-vis the danseur who wrapped himself so stylishly in the curtain and Jordan's comment that, once you get close to them, curtains have this strange gravity that pulls you in:
So I heard from a friend of mine who rides motorbikes very well that, in biking, there's a term for where you're drawn towards the very thing that you wish to avoid once you get quite close to it, and that is "target fixation". The problem is that when you become frightened of colliding with something, it has become a threat, which of course you want to avoid and escape. In order to escape it, your instinctive reaction is to stare at it, to be sure of its exact position... which doesn't help you at all. If your gaze is directed at the hazard, your head is too, and therefore your body also turns in the direction of the hazard, AND SO DOES YOUR BIKE.
Motorcyclists get trained to break target fixation by looking away - which is effective but very much easier said than done!
So true, it’s a real thing lol Thanks for sharing this helpful tip 😂
@@balletreign Basically, how not to ballet dance into the curtain: don't look at it! 🤣
I’ve seen dancers come running out to a grande jete and then splat. He jumped up and kept going. It was amazing.
That was fun girls. They all recovered so well. The last one was like “exit pursued by a bear”. I once had a piece of scenery comedown but it was an arch so just went over me. Managed not to corpse! Thanks for the insightful comments
Aaaahhh falling sets are terrifying! So thankful u were ok though. Glad you enjoyed the video! 😄💕
Ouch ouch ouch, but such professionalism!
Lol right? 😨😂
This was a fun one. I used to do touring shows, and I was told early on that anything that could go wrong probably would, if you ran the production long enough. Unfortunately: True.
Haha that is true! 😂 glad you had fun watching ☺️
It's lovely how empathetic you are, and it's fascinating to hear the mechanics of these mishaps (Non ballet person here). And your senses of humor are charming. Thanks for the vid. :)
Aww thank you so much!! We’re so glad you enjoy these videos 💕
My second video with you and I love you. Classical ballet has always captivated me. To me male dancers show the perfection of the male body, power, strength, agility, dignity and grace. And ballerinas, well, how can a woman be so graceful, so softly beautiful, yet show such endurance, strength and control? As a child I took ballet lessons for a few years but had no aptitude.😢 But it gave me a life long appreciation for the dance. Thank you, girls, for these great videos!
We’re confident you have talent! Never hurts to try beginner adult classes 😁😁. But even if not, we’re happy to keep making ballet nerd vids for y’all 💕✨😄
I totally lost the challenge as well because these videos were hard. We recently did a ballet a couple weeks ago and I had an entrance and saw that there was a prop still on stage and I quickly picked it up before the soloist did her part. Ballet is my life but people who don't dance only see us being graceful, they don't see all the hard work and fails that lead up to a performance. Another thing is that people tend to put ballet dancers on a high pedestal to always be flawless and graceful but tend to forget that we are people too and mistakes are bound to happen.
Excellent work!! That is so true; the LAST thing we dancers are is “flawless” 😂. Everyone makes mistakes and dancers certainly aren’t exempt 👍🏻. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this! ☺️🤍
@@balletreign no problem, I just felt the need to let non dancers know that yes we make it look easy and graceful but there is still a human under the tutu.
Truth!! 🙌🏻
I’m sorry I missed the live chat. I’m literally freaking out because of secondhand pain/ embarrassment and my total inability not to cringe and wince.
Yea the secondhand pain was pretty real 😰😂
About the props things one time we had a hula hoop on stage because it was supposed to be two kids playing the hula hoop broke and there was water all over the stage. The cleanup crew like 10 minutes before we could start dancing again again.
Omg 😆😆
Yeah, it was a long intermission, but the narrator(because we have one for the show because it’s kind of confusing because we’re doing Narnia) just started telling jokes
Not a ballerina but a social dancer - there was one off day that I elbowed my parter in the face twice in the interval of five minutes 😅😅😅😅
I was absolutely horrified but my partner was a good sport and even applauded me for my aim. Now in retrospect I’m so glad I didn’t give him a nosebleed, he didn’t deserve that
Oh no! 😅😅 Thanks for sharing your story, you’re def not the only one who’s done that 😂
@@balletreign omg thank you so much for your reply!!
And to all the partners out there that take the occasional whacks and smacks like a champ - we see you. Y’all make the world a better place.
YES to that! 🙌🏻
Great selection. There is no day without one or two of your amusing videos for me.
Even better with a second viewing! Kudos to your team on their amazing selection. I think it would be impossible to not react to these mishaps.
Thank you!! We’ll pass this along to them, they’ll definitely appreciate it 💕
After watching this again; I just wanna hear the stories that Jordan could tell
THAT would be a very interesting video 😂
I will say, I definitely have a love-hate relationship with props while dancing. On one hand, I like having them with me during rehearsal because I can fiddle with them while I'm bored or standing on the side, which is better than the bad habit I usually/used to when I got bored, which was picking at the skin on my fingers. But on the other hand, yeah they can be a hassle/hazard when you're dancing. I remember back at my old studio when we were practicing for snow scene in Nutcracker, we had these snow sticks (which were really just sticks with thick white tape covering them and a giant white pom-pom at the tip) that we used for the dance. For rehearsals, we used normal thin sticks for practice and there were SO MANY TIMES that I accidentally threw them across the studio while dancing. 😅
Hahaha thanks for sharing this! Def can relate 😆😆
About the prop thing I was dancing the garland waltz from sleeping beauty(it was modified a little bit) and the garland came unraveled, so I had fake flowers in my face for the entire dance and I couldn’t see in my dance teacher, who was sitting in the front row, was so shocked
Oh no!! Props can be so finicky sometimes. Props to u for making the show go on! 👏🏻👏🏻
It was funny because the people in the wings were trying to call me down, but I was just kept smiling
I ended up cringing at most of this video- the combination of my irrational fear of partnering, often being a shorter supporting partner, and the promise of partnering gone awry apparently is a recipe for it XD
A quick temperamental prop story: I learned La Esmerelda while dancing at a children's ballet company, so the tambourine I was using was intended for kinderdance and had been with the studio for longer than I had been alive. When I got to the final diagonal, one moment I had a tambourine in my hand, and the next, cymbals were flying everywhere. It completely exploded from me kicking it! Luckily, no one in the room was hurt.
Great video! (You should react to even more... if you dare >:D)
Omg 😅. Props to you [😆] for sharing your story! glad everyone was ok lol. If y’all want a part 3 we’ll do it 😅
I had to dance with helium balloons on strings once and the strings just kept getting tangled
Last one was the best. 😂🤣🥹
the BEST 🤣🤣
I think you girls should show us some of the ballet moves you talk about I am binge watching your videos and would love to see ladies dance
I’ve just started watching your channel and I’m loving it!
Welcome, and thank you!
The ankle thing, I’ve done that, it hurt, but nobody even noticed, then my shoe fell off just before that, I’ve gotten really good at hiding ankle mistakes, only happened once this past year though
no way can anyone not react to these unless they're just pretending to be looking at the screen but they're actually crossing their eyes or looking past so that what's happening is not in focus, haha
LOLLLL glad we weren’t alone! 😂
Girls - your comments are often funny and fresh, but you have zero knowledge from Pas de deux! You see a girl sitting in plié instead of jumping herself up - you still blaming the partner for the mistakes… Prof. Tappendorff (pas de deux teacher from Vaganowa - school)
Mishap number 1…commonly known as the Donald Trump grab…
As a professional ballerina, I was taught from the beginning that if something falls onstage and you can get rid of it, it’s your responsibility to do it. I’ve fallen in class being a little extra with my fouettés too. I laughed so hard.
Like what?
@@me67226 Like a prop, a hairpiece, anything that’s not meant to be there!
When I was dancing in a gala in Moscow, the ballerina in the PDD before mine (beautiful dancer performing Flower Festival) face planted the floor from arabesque like the Swan in the video. It was horrible and we all thought it was due to a slippery spot we all avoided all night. It sadly turned she was doing some bad things to lose weight and passed out. I’ll never forget it.
Oh no! That must have been so scary for her and for everyone! Hope she was able to recover 🤍
@@balletreign she couldn’t finish the PDD and later had to tell our Artist Director why. I knew why.
The curtain guy had me laughing so hard!
This was so cute, no ability to hold your reactions. Maybe we should change the title to “We React” haha, OR there are consequences (chili coated nut, etc.) 😊❤
As people who can’t handle too much spice, this sounds… let’s just say y’all will be entertained 😅😅
That Diana and Acteon moment was my favorite!!! It was like a “safe” in baseball ⚾️🩰😂
HAHA ikr?? That one was too much 😂😂
@@balletreign it’s the crawling for me.
I love how you guys explained why fails happened ❤❤❤
We’re so glad you enjoy that! Thank you! 🥰
Durring 2022 nutcracker season I rolled my ankle in a high arabesque and went down imediatly. My standing leg bent at the knee then my butt landed on the foot I just rolled breaking it from the inpact of being crushed into the floor and my own body while simultaneously dislocating that knee👍🏻 was out for 6 months in a cast, still can't be en pointe till this fall and its been a year since I broke it.
OUCH!!! hope you recover well and can dance en pointe soon
I know every dancer has done Snow ❄️ from Nutcracker. I think that’s one of the sketchiest parts: it’s fast, technical and most stage managers love the “blizzard” look. I’m ALWAYS very daring in class and rehearsals: pushing myself to go higher, faster, do extra turns… so I’ve fallen many times. I haven’t (knock on wood) been in a situation when the audience saw my struggle. I did get a black eye during curtain call - my partner accidentally elbowed me in the face. I’m enjoying this video especially when it’s a professional ballerina/couple is the one involved. I actually feel too bad for clear students or pre professionals.
That one must have hurt! Never gotten a black eye onstage, but couldn’t count the times I’ve wiped out 😂
@@balletreign I couldn’t see anything but had to take the bows so they put makeup on my eye and my partner led me out. The most important lesson in all of this is trust is the most important part of a partnership.
You girls are phenomenal. I’m loving the’ Ballet Bloopers’. I’d never wish injury on anyone though. Safety first of course …but can’t help laughing.😂
Aww thanks!! 🥹🥹. Some of these were pretty funny 😆 glad u enjoyed this!
My own fail was fortunately during the dress rehearsal. I was Persephone in Sylvia and the choreographer had myself and one of the other minor goddesses sitting either side of a set of stairs. During the scene the god had to storm down the stairs and we had to leap up out of the way. I was a minuscule slow and he stepped on the edge of my long dress. The stitch ripped out at least three quarters of the way around. Thank goodness it didn't happen during the performance.
OH! Wow thank goodness that wasn’t during the performance! 😅😅. Long skirts are SO beautiful but they can be SO cumbersome (kind of like capes 😂). Thank you for sharing your “fail” with us! We love reading y’all’s stories 💕💕
Yeah you guys did sooo much better in this video then the last try not to cwinch challenge😂
Absolutely. Thank you so much for your recognition 😂
Where are the mugs from? I know you said a subscriber but I’d love to buy one!
Thanks for watching, the super cute mugs are from Anthropologie :)
The background music is my song for some of my ballet dances!!!!
Had phantom pain on my ankle watching that poor guy twisting his foot 😥
kkkkkkkkkkkk man the last guy........ kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk he was off stage like a dolphin kkkkkkkkkkkkkk im crying so hard that i woke up my mom kkk
I dont know why you laughed at all or most i didn't,
Im posting this here because i can't find the video to post on
Pointe shoes are easier en pointe.
Trying to do a en flat penche is murder with pointe shoes. Your ankle is wobbling on the shank like a drug addict.
i.... am not a ballet dancer, but any tips to strengthen ankles? ^_^
Sure! Surprisingly, walking on sand barefoot is a very effective way to strengthen the intrinsic muscles of the feet/ankles bc they have to work to cope with the uneven surface. Time for a trip to the beach! (write it off as a rehabilitation trip 😉😉)
@@balletreign beaches are awesome, thank you for the tip! loving your content 😍😍
