      Increased nudity isn't much in the way of progress. And you see that in the opera as well. They've sodomised art and music. It's horrid what they've done.
      Teenagers are better off wasting their time watching funny videos than that kind of art...

    • @pawelwysocki1581
      @pawelwysocki1581 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean, my previous answer was a bit emotional. Bit think about it - these days teenagers frequently take drugs and watch pornography. You try to find an alternative to that way of life. Maybe art or music?
      Except for these days the opera and ballet may very well have just as damaging an effect on their fragile personalities! Horrid times to live in...

      This isn’t really the historical origin of ballet. The woman on the left is doing the social court dance of the baroque era, but there was a much more animated theatrical ballet of the age that this court dancing was an imitation of.

    Hi, dance is recorded in a series of notations - much the same as a score for music - so we have records of steps and how pieces were danced. Very old dance notations go back to the early 1700s!

  • @imaginecreatebe
    @imaginecreatebe 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think a lot of the time people observing dance forget that the types of costumes actually have a purpose. I'm a belly dancer, and the costumes have changed from fully covering dresses to the bedlah usually seen now, reason being we do a lot of muscular work with our abdominals and hips that you couldn't see otherwise. And although many contemporary dancers wear stomach revealing costumes, belly dancers are considered 'prostitutes' by many, mainly the middle east. Perspective changes everything

    Most ballet historians seem to have forgotten that the court dancing that is supposedly the “origin” of ballet in the baroque era was just an offshoot of the theatrical dancing at the time. Early on, legs were high, jumps were big and virtuosic, and even in the grotesque style, there were acrobatics. She is demonstrating the noble social dance at the time, but ballet today did not evolve from this.

    Nice idea bringing out this series. Thank you. Nevertheless I can't agree with the theory of a "quarter rise" and "super strong ankles" in consequence. The 3 or 4 cm heels of baroque shoes added, you arrive at a quite usual foot activity. :)

    • @notyourtypicalwatchreview2563

    I don't understand something... She says that in the 18th century the first position was not as turned out as today (wich obviously makes sense) but few seconds later she asks the dancers to do the other positions and the one that does the fifth does it with a "nowadays" turn out. So was the fifth position back in the 18th century, as turbed out as today (as the dancer demonstrates it) or was it more like the third position ?

      I think the Italiano time style would make a good ballet option for those of us with less affinity for splits and other extreme stretches. It would be great to take a class doing just early ballet moves. Still a work out, still calls for strength and becoming more limber but not /quite/ as extreme of demands.

They dance around hiding video footage of a woman who they are framing her over her own painting that is painted. I think a very dramatic dance with dramatic music
