PNB Summer Course-Level VIII

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

@Karen1andKaren2 at sf ballet school girls level6 and higher wear yumikos as their everyday class wear

[asuncmel]

are all of their classes en pointe?

[pacificnwballet]

@asuncmel Yes, Level VIII is expected to do all of their technique classes en pointe.

I go to a small ballet school in a small town, how much training would i need to be able to dance like them?

[pacificnwballet]

@ToDanceIsToLiveLife There are many components that contribute to a high level of dancing including natural ability, training and dedication. To give you an estimate, around the age of 13-14, these dancers are dancing at least 5 days a week, for several hours a day. Talk to your teacher, they will have the best advice for recommended training.

[numberonebeckannefan]

@ToDanceIsToLiveLife well, it depends on how old u r. up to 20 years if you never go to a better school

[solesofthefoot]

that's because you are a "pickledbananana!!!" anyway nobody asked you for your sympathy.

[PickledBananana]

I find it very hard to sympathize with youtubers that have horrible grammar

[simplymarisaa]

ALL OF THEM ARE WEARING YUMIKO LEOS.

[Karen1andKaren2]

@simplymarisaa Imagine a school where a Yumiko is required...paradise :)

[Lucyballet1994]

I wish I was as good as these girls!

[Lauriefishbone]

I don't tink I'll ever be able to do any of this things.

[prettygabby]

I have question, Is there any ballerina has big chest? How does get small back?

[MrWabblewobble]

how old would these dancers be? because they are amazing!

[Ipswich92]

@MrWabblewobble they're probably 14 to 18 ish..... not entirely sure

[kawaiipapillon]

@Ipswich92 14-15 are most likely in level 6 or 7 level 8s are all 17-18 because next is the professional division and they need to be out of school by then

[pacificnwballet]

@MrWabblewobble Level VIII students are generally 17-18 years old!

[MademoiselleBallett]

their dancing looks so powerful as well as joyful. it's kinda magic watching them dance, incredible, I love it :)

[broadwaynballet]

i like that, unlike students of sab, they have good, controlled port de bras, maybe not that of russian students, but definetley good, and there are some reallly good turners!!

[AFdancergirlio]

@broadwaynballet sab students control their arms in the same way

[broadwaynballet]

@AFdancergirlio I dont really agree, the balanchine technique doesnt really focus on port de bras very much

[AFdancergirlio]

@broadwaynballet umm their artistic director was a balanchine dancer so their balanchine too

[broadwaynballet]

@AFdancergirlio No I understand that, but it's still a different school. Sorry if my opinion has offended you.

[huixue]

i hate flappy wrists

[LiveSleepEatBallet]

that floor looks SLIPPERY! (:

[XxBallerina4ChristxX]

beautiful!! It looks like they are all having a blast :)

[primaballerina38]

they were probably yumiko leotards

[balletgirl212]

[freshhome]

@balletgirl212 It looks like a Harmonie leo to me...

[blah57908]

i love the penche near the beginning! so beautiful!

[dklehman]

They look so good. How does PNB's summer program compare to SAB and ABT New York?

[dwjensen]

PNB's Summer Course is routinely ranked in the top 3 or 4 programs in the U.S., along with the programs you named, SFB, and so on.

[blah57908]

they're 16-19

[llama90291]

2 of the girls in this vid are 15.

[blah57908]

[mgkballet]
