[TheScarlet999]

BALLERINAS HAVE BEAUTIFUL STRENGTH!!!! LOL the movements that they do require focus and a lot of strength. flexibility is not aqquired in ballet

[PrincessSakuno]

jesus christ, i really need to work harder!

[rintamakilover]

RIP Mme Vaussard. I never met you but since watching this video a couple of years ago I imagine corrections from you in my own class. Thank you for your inspiration and Thank YOU YOUTUBE.

[theamazingsoter]

The students dressed in pink are: Ghislaine Fallou (left) and Clairemarie Osta (right).

- Fallou was quickly promoted to première danseuse after she entered the company, but unfortunately she developed anorexia and had to give up ballet. Nothing is know of her later career.

- Clairemarie Osta is currently étoile of the POB and is married to Nicolas Le Riche, also étoile. They have a daughter, Eve.

[ISWEARYOU]

Personne ne peut danser aussi bien que Ghislaine Fallou.

[anniecy]

@ISWEARYOU Y-a-t-il des nouvelles sur ce qu'elle devient?

[ISWEARYOU]

@anniecy

Elle vit sur Paris et n'a pas repris la danse suite à ses problèmes de santé. C'est une grande perte pour la Danse et l'Opéra, mais on ne peut que la remercier toujours pour les magnifiques moments qu'elle nous a donné. Je ne me lasserai jamais de la regarder danser comme ici.

[elodie5484545]

Waou!!!

[Heartlessiceboy]

Many people don't get what ballet means,don't get what it requires and all that dancers need to sacrifice in order to have a career in dance. It is not just about having fun and dancing,it is painful,they took your childhood and transform you in an small adult and it requires and extreme amount of discipline.Is way harder than the majority of sports and it requires a certain physic that if you don't have it,its pointless to take dance lessons expecting to have a career as ballet dancer.

[vdag94]

1:07 WOW

[xmariaballerina]

"Allonges ton bras derriere, Aurelie!" at 2:41 hahah.

It's a Mazurka @ .23-.25

[HKGleclercq]

Can anyone tell me the name of the movement they do from around 0:23 to 0:25 and how to do it? thankss :)

[BelleBella1789]

I really thing that l'Ecole de Danse de l'Opéra de Paris is the best of the world... o_O

They're so amazing!

[peacelovecali]

I'm guessing this is the Paris Opera Ballet.

[axlfanwhodance]

omg

[stel3rdstar]

Wow!!! C inhumain a cette age danser avec tant de controle , de precision et dexpression dans des exercises si rapides. En plus elles son tellement mince et parfaites...juste wow je narriverais jamais a ca!

[ponygurl36]

wow !!!! les filles dans les maillots pinte sont étonnants!!

[rarie13]

holy cow that first exercise is soooo fast and they're soooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lisanguyen12]

I only favourited this video because of the two girls in the pink at the beginning. It took me six months to learn a quarter of those things and they dance as if it were easy as breathing or tying your shoes.

[jngwatson]

The dancers are absolutely lovely. The teacher's voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

[dansedu92]

MESSAGE A FAIRE PASSER: Reportage sur Aurélie Dupont Mardi 2 Mars 2010 sur France 3 à 22h40!

[premedlove3]

i love the teacher's voice its so cute

[danischucara]

es aurelie dupont??

[dansedu92]

yes,in purple to the right (sorry for english,i'm french)

[Yuy87]

OMG, the two girls in pink leotard are soooo amazing!! The steps are so fast but they dance it like it is nothing .

[fallonhadley]

What a lot of people who make remarks on skinny ballerinas don't realize is that they have to support every bit of their weight on their toes. The less they weigh, the less pressure. Also, with as much movement as dance requires, it's no wonder they're skinny if they're dancing all day long.

[bookman413]

@fallonhadley

true enough but mostly it's about the line the body presents to the eye. Ballet is all about long, elegant lines--down to the point of the toe lengthening the line of the leg. So the narrower the body, the more desirable as a tool for ballet.

[bookman413]

@fallonhadley

or should I say , " as an instrument for ballet"

[fallonhadley]

Very true, thanks for adding that.

[pinkshrimp]

@fallonhadley

right!!

I also thought it was to spare their male counterparts who have to lift and throw them about

[dracoslover123]

@fallonhadley i totally agree. It's only a bad thing if they're skinny for the wrong reasons. Dancing eight hours a day, most likely more is not something easy and it will definitely change you physically. They're thin, but you can tell in most cases it's a healthy thin because their faces aren't gaunt and their bodies are still well-proportioned.

[Malon4Ever]

@fallonhadley I totally disagree with you, I used to think like you until I saw XIXth century ballerinas : they're not skinny at all, they are of normal weight and corpulence, they are even plump ; however, they danced very well, and their partners had no problems to support them. Why? Because at this time, people liked real women, unlike now, where men only love skeletons on feets. Now, they choose skinny girls because it's more pretty when they all look like each other on the stage

[fallonhadley]

@Malon4Ever Yes, I know...I've seen pictures of them too. But how do you know how well they danced and if their partners had problems? Film back then wasn't that good. Ballet is more competitive today than ever before, and skinnier ballerinas do get ahead - they're not necessarily better, they just look nicer on stage, so they have more opportunities to progress and get lead roles. It's sad, and it is certainly potentially damaging, but it's a truth of society.

[Malon4Ever]

@fallonhadley XIXth century was the golden age of ballet, it had all the most famous classical composers and choregraphers like the russian ones, for exemple : the ballerinas danced same roles as nowadays, so if they didn"t dance that well, choregraphers would have chosen easier choregraphies. If their partners had real problems to support them, they would have been thinner, because it was their job and they had to accept to loose weight, as today they have to be skinny to enter a dance school.

[fallonhadley]

@Malon4Ever That doesn't mean the ballerinas executed the steps as well; like I said, ballet has become much more competitive. Also, society's image of beauty has changed since then - rounder girls were considered beautiful then, skinnier girls are now. Besides that, skinnier girls do have an easier time of it overall. Less pressure on their own bodies as well as those of their partners. There can be amazing dancers with all body types, but to get ahead today a dancer must be slim and muscular.

[superkiwi1000]

@fallonhadley and a lot of the older french dancers smoke......

[anniecy]

@fallonhadley

And you don't realise how many dancers battle with anorexia. Of course you have to be thin to dance, but you still have to be healthy. Too skinny is unhealthy.

[sylviajp]

How can I see more Ghislaine Fallou video? I understand that she left the Paris Opera long, long time ago, but I would like to see more of her.

[iluvmyfriendsxoxo]

they are perfect! beautiful mesmerising i don't think they are 2 skinny i would die to look like that

[emizrock1n]

WOW i can barely do developpe back on flat

[danceaholic150305]

to be half as good as them would be a miracle for me! they are so fantastic!! and even though they are thin, they don't look stiff at all! brilliant.

[etoiledelkirov]

Aurélie is fantastic

[maren2891]

Someone forgot to feet the poor girls!

[MrBCholeric]

You must be really fat, these girls are perfect

[CocoBohemeDanse]

Ghislaine Fallou, ich liebe ihre Art zu tanzen. Und ihr Körper. Wow.

[yoyo51b]

magnifique si je pouvai danser comme sa!!

[Cl000000oooo]

magnifique rien a dire de plus =)

[mah123w456me789]

perfaiction

[ashly93yre]

eeees precioso =)

[sydneyjewels]

Ghislaine Fallou and Delphine Baey are two of my fav. dancers. too bad I can't find any other vids of them!!!!!

[danseuseClaire]

WAOU !!!!! elles sont parfaite !! surtout celle du début !! bref elles incarne la perfaiction en personne

[iamtheladyofsorrows]

who is the girl in pink who dance in the right side??

[WithoutMythologies]

Clairemarie Osta.  She's absolutely impeccable!

[iamtheladyofsorrows]

great. thanks.

[OnlyBallet]

This is so interesting!

I love watching classwork.

Thanks for sharing!

[t0ki0h0tel92]

mon dieu, elles sont squelettiques :s

[13naoko]

:) mais oui..elles sont ballerines ..

[dansedu92]

Ca veut dire quoi ces préjugés de m**** ?!!!Alors maintenant on est ballerines donc on est squelletiques? Elles sont juste minces et merveilleuses comme ca !

[dansedu92]

Tu as un point de vue bien étrange des magnifiques ballerines de l'opéra! Alors oui,elles sont minces,et alors?

[2allpeace]

Operas de Paris, great performance and its not that easy to do this. Great Job!!!

[doezgen]

I love what she is doing at 1:07. It just looks so easy and gracile and everybody who is dancing ballet knows that this is anything but easy. Great video really thanks for posting.

[sacachanel]

Certes Ghislaine Fallou était déjà très mince mais bon beaucoup de filles ne sont pas encore formées à cette âge alors il n'y avait tout de même rien d'anormal au moment du tournage de cette vidéo!!!

Quand à ses problèmes de santé nous ne savons pas réellement ce qui lui est arrivé! Mais cela concerne sa vie privée...

En tout cas c'est une grande perte pour le monde de la danse car son talent est immense.

Peut-être va elle reprendre??

[stebast]

je ne sais pas si elle va reprendre... Aux dire de ce que j ai entendu, cela fait quelques annees qu elle a arrete et j ai bien peur qu elle ne puisse pas reatteidre le niveau qu elle avait à ce moment... c est vraiment dommage, c est une excellente danseuse

[stebast]

personnellement je prefere nettement le physique de clairemarie osta. Ghislaine etait deja tres (trop) maigre à cette epoque. Cela laissait deja entrevoir quelques soucis de sante qui ont fini par mettre fin à sa carriere prematurement.

[sacachanel]

Extraordinaire!! Juste divin à regarder! Ghislaine Fallou était déjà époustouflante!! Elle nous manque mais nous n'oublierons jamais la grande danseuse qu'elle est!!

[manon4525]

c'est magique , magiquement magique

[dansedu92]

Elles ont une techniques, et une propreté dans les mouvements incroyable,une telle grace,beauté,précision!!!Mille­ merci pour cette vidéo!!(L)

[biilow1995]

OPERAS DE PARIS :)

[nicolovelifeXD]

bellissimo video...

[33LiveandLove33]

does anyone know who the two beginning dancers were?

[sylviajp]

GHISLAINE FALLOU is the one on the left (the thinner one) at the fist music. (She also appears in the the adagio part at the ending of the other video). The other one is CLAIREMARIE OSTA, now étoile at the Paris Opera.

[33LiveandLove33]

Thank you very much because I love Claire Marie Osta!!

Thanks again!

[LifeResort]

I love Ghislaine Fallou!! :D but I can't find another vid of hers :(

[liserliserliser]

does anybody know how the first piece of muisc is calledd?? please tell meee

[dancedanceballet]

who is ghislaine fallou??

[AnyaMiya]

They are wonderful! Does anyone know where I can buy this documentary?

[zjaajref]

Beautiful, i miss ballet.

[bRuNn3tt3]

Does anyone know what this documentary is called??

[melaniemelanie1979]

je crois que c'est "les enfants de la danse"

[bRuNn3tt3]

I do not speak much french...but...merci merci

[MissEyeliner92]

She said that its called "The Children (babies) of the dance"

I dont know if its children or babies, in my class they are interchangable

[bRuNn3tt3]

thank you SO much! i speak english, spanish, and german--the only french i know is "ballet" french

[MissEyeliner92]

Youre welcome!

Have fun hunting it down, I wish you luck!

[premedlove3]

ok i know this sound strange but i love the sound of the teacher's voice.

oh yea the girls are amazing. superb technique.

[Bibs111]

i know exactly what you mean! i find it helps me to keep the movements sharp.

[bRuNn3tt3]

oh my gosh, yes. i get so into the little pep talks, even if it is correcting a movement... :)

[BalletRulez]

I love this video! Their technique is fabulous!

[bRuNn3tt3]

Does anyone know where I can get this documentary?? If you do, please reply. Thanks! :-)

[balletzenaida]

OMG... about the last girls (pink) of the girl at the left... FUCK! she's too skiny!

[mariekitu]

Personally it doesn't actually bother me, cause she is very lively and seems strong, she even kind of has more tension than the other one.

Plus some people, even much older, are actually almost that thin taking no exercice and eating twice as much as most, and I think you need to respect everyone's body, it's hers and that's it you need to respect it, not shout OMG, LOOK AT THAT GIRL WHAT A FUCKING FREAK ! You're just being an arse, and if I were the girl I'd get really annoyed with it too.

[balletzenaida]

I am not laughing about her. I'm saying she might be sick.. I'm sorry but it's not natural to be that skinny..

[LifeResort]

but..I love her look!! I think she looks long and very pretty. I also like her dance style.

[sylviajp]

It looks like it was aired in TV in 1987. I also learned that Ghilaine Fallou had to give up her career when he was première danseuse at the age of 28. What a pity but at least she 'enjoyed' her career as a dancer at least f'or 14 years! I'm sure George Balanchine would have lover her.

[LifeResort]

ah..I am going to europe this summer and I thought maybe I should try to search about her seeing whether she will perform this summer or not.. but it seems like she has quitted due to anorexia?? It's a pity that she had to quit dancing, coz she's so good at it!

I really wish I could see more of her. I have loved her!

[petitesouris92]

actually she has been suffering of anorexia and she doesn't dance anymore

but otherwise i totally agree with your comment about the different metabolisme and the rest

[mariekitu]

Oh OK :(

I hope she manages to sort out her problems, and yeah anyway I really think that some people should give others a break with remarks on weight etc.

If they have nothing nice or helpful to say I think they should just shut the hell up.

As well as try and see beyond that.

Anyway thanks for the support ;P

[kikikisandra]

love ghislane fallou!! its so sad that she couldnt dance because of anorexia.... such a pity. was she anorexic here?? and are there any dvds of her dancing?

[jokerswifeno2]

do alot get anorexia?

[balletgirl2311wp]

yes sadly

[jokerswifeno2]

y is there alot of anorexia?sad aint it....i do ballet but in ireland so there is like noooooo pressure lol

[balletgirl2311wp]

well i guess because of soo much competitionn around you and also its hard being "the Best" because theres gonna be so much rumors / jealousy and i guess some ballerinas just fall into depression which sometimes leads to anorexia,

[jokerswifeno2]

thats really sad

but i can see where the pressure comes from

i feel it too sometimes and its quite hard

[ilu44mel]

i dont now anything about ballet but i think it looks funky and pretty not that bad how the "cool people" say...

[MISizzo]

if the 'cool' people say that its boring and stuff- thay know NOTHING about ballet! at the beginning of this year half my class thought that a pirouette was just twirling around with your finger in your head! they know different now though...

[inayoung]

i'm 18 and i had learned ballet when i was 7-10 i hope to learn ballet again as a hobby btw the music at the beginning makes me pleasant!
