L'ecole de ballet, opera de paris(2)

[TheLiline514]

la jeune fille en rose est Guislaine Fallou... Tout une ballerine celle-la. Dommage qu'elle ne danse plus... :(

[MrsAurellie]

oh ! It's Aurelie Dupont :)

[julles411]

ce documenatire est-ce? Excusez-moi pour mon mauvais français je suis américain!!

[SuperDragibuss]

Hannnn mais comment elle arrive a faire sa :O!!!!

[roxyluvagirl]

vraiment tres belle!

[santaclara1231]

C'est MAGNIFIQUE!

[unaso333]

I hate when people complain about dancers being to skinny and but then don't like watching dancers who are the tiniest bit fat.

[anniecy]

Who are the girls in blue? Have they managed to get in the Paris opera house?

[Ixorish]

Broadwaynballet- I'm a Vaganova ballet master and I'dont think so, we "barking around" our students. Our teaching method is very disclipined and efficient.

Poppearlgirl- I don't know your height and weight. But If your legs and ankles are not enough strong and you have plus weight, it could causes you injuries and problems in the future. Think it over, do it slow and take care! :-)

[medal8]

Un véritable sacerdoce !

Merci pour ce magnifique travail artistique...

[loulitalou29]

j'adore aussi se documentaire

[TheScarlet999]

it requires dedication and hard work

[TheScarlet999]

i do ballet myself and u can start at any age, any weight, any size, any height anyone who puts their mind to it can achieve its goal

[poppearlgirl]

I always put myself down because of my weight because many people say you cannot go on pointe if you are over a certain weight limit! I am in Grade 4 ballet now and I am trying to lose weight now. But I have learnt something! You can always do it if you believe in it. People always say that but it is true!

[Ballerina1117]

this is sooo good!! but it would be better if i could understand what they are saying!

[Tamarindi8]

So cute and talented

[animallover2297]

impeccable techinque!! all of them!

[lamisslio]

superbe !!

[nybx3305]

4 tours no problem ! :p

[Kapojos]

is this on a dvd???? where can i buy it??

[bellabolshoi]

@Kapojos this is an extract from the documentary Les Enfants de la danse ;) You can find it entirely on youtube

[thefourandonly1]

wow.

[616Metalprincess616]

I´m glad to say that I was born with very high arches just like this girls. I think it´s my destiny to be a ballet dancer because why else should I have such feet? This thought gives me courage..

[TheLittleFrenchy2]

Ce "allez pousse Aurélie" est culte :D

[Liv2Dance22]

How old are they at 4:30???

[julietteh100]

@Liv2Dance22 14-15 years old

[Liv2Dance22]

Their feet make me wana die! There gorgeous and they have such amazing technique to be so young!

[TheChaiTeaLatte]

they're kids.... and THEYRE GRREEAATT

[mimidu332009]

coucouc a 2:23 c'est la quelle aurelie ???

[dansertoujours]

I looove their dancing, and adore their little dresses!!!

[KLOKLOKLO456]

Everyone who wishes to dance like this... anyone who has the right body can do it,so work,work,work and maybe someday you'll be dancing along some of these girls in a major company! Don't look at yourself and say that compared to them you can't dance...instead,tell yourself I can do this!

[ballerinaboricua]

@KLOKLOKLO456 you just made my day :)

[DreamsontheWater]

0:50 - 1:24 ! Their brains must be in their feet! Because there just can't be time for the messages to travel down to their feet from their heads!

[ballerinaboricua]

@DreamsontheWater welcome to the world of ballet :)

[aslushy]

CLAUDE.

[SuperBobici]

very nice



[MissBouclette1]

The difference in between the Opera and the Vaganova academy, I think, is that the French ballet is much... faster. The center exercises for example, are much much faster, where as the russian exercises are more down to basics, simpler, more perfectionist-like :p

[Pataentown]

I love 1:39 <3 i wish,my room was big enough to practise this all the day. :D

[kawaiipapillon]

Their esambles at 2:31 need to be much sharper.

[jennyluvballet]

Why do all of them have such high arches?? Did they make them by efforts, or were they just born with them?

The girls are amazing, I wish I could dance like them.

[MissAstuteness]

@jennyluvballet They're born with high arches.

[rbsadler]

@jennyluvballet You can't "make" a high arch, you are born with them. However, if you have a lower arch, you can develop the muscles in your feet to achieve maximum point. If you're a sad soul like me (no pun intended) with absolutely no arches, it's very difficult, if not impossible to train your feet into the correct degree of point. Of course, in all honesty, there are people who should not dance ballet because their body simply wasn't made for it and injuries could occur.

[broadwaynballet]

I really admire the french training, it produces these amazing dancers, but you dont see the mean teachers who insult their students to tears

[MissBouclette1]

@broadwaynballet I am sure there are tears, but yes ! The russian teachers are always barking around at their students! I watched this video once where the teacher was yelling at her student saying that only smart people could be true dancers and the she was an idiot and that she would never make it as a dancer... Sick

[allegraballerina]

@jessicacarmon It's a dance belt

[KimFraustro]

What is the song ?? 0:50 !!

[Capizio77]

i wonder why they need to wear skirts?

[jessicacarmon]

lol! the girl at 0:35 with her back facing the camera is wearing a thong!!

[SinticFire]

@jessicacarmon i thinks its a guy...

[caligirl1623]

@jessicacarmon all ballet guys wear thongs....

[patitoHK]

oh my gosh i did it! it took me 40 minutes and a bit of dizziness, but I got every single step to the tendus at 00:50!<3

[kiopio14]

trop belle !!!

[CharlesWifeAndDorian]

aurélie est maintenant une étoile =)

[lisanguyen12]

Does anyone know the piano accompaniment song for 1:08 , the tendus? I'd love to practice with this.

[aridancer14]

Wow... And I thought my class had fast combinations.

[megadance1996]

wow

[svetranathesecond]

Is the teacher Claude Bessy?

[jahlove111]

omg they're so graceful! wish i could dance :( !

[chowda121]

i just hate it when my teacher gets pissed. ^^ i try 2keep her happy. lol

[renagarc]

Does anyone know where we can buy this documentary in the US?

[Pitahaya18]

@renagarc

This documentary is a part of the dvd Coppelia from the Paris Opera Ballet School.

You can get it by amazon.

[07reynosa]

@heyitsclaireandregan you should come to the company I attend then, that's what are combinations look like. It's easy just break it down.

[heyitsclaireandregan]

their brains must overload with the magnificence of the combinations.. especially at 0:53 to 1:26

[BelleBella1789]

Aurélie Dupont was already amazing...

[jobrosfan22]

wow there amazing!

[ponygurl36]

les filles dans les justaucorps pourpre sont étonnants. son si gracieux et fluide! quel âge sont-ils? :) xx

[iluvmyfriendsxoxo]

A mazing i wish i could dance half as good as them!

[frankiedukee]

girl at the beginning has sexy feet...

[pinkblue114]

Les deuxièmes filles sont très rapides !

[pinkblue114]

Quel âge est ces filles ?

[oliviacnb]

c'est magnifique. Tres bien.

[AlicexFlox]

ma quelle con il tutù blu avevano il ravvelocizzatore a 8x????

[KeroroGunsouTX]

God I would break each and every one of those girls in two.

[ladansecmapassion]

Bonjour , Je passe le concour de l'opéra le 12 Mais l'après midi a 15h45 !

Si quelque le passe aussi j'aimerait bien le s'avoir :) voilà !

Louise .

[yorouichi17]

this is ridiculous, i'm 17 and the girls at 0:57 are doing a class way harder than the classe i have... and i'm the youngest in my class... it's price for living in a place where classic culture is almost nonexistent.

[lisanguyen12]

@yorouichi17 What do you expect? Opera de Paris is a luxury school. It's for those who are guaranteed a spot in the world of dance because it's what they are. After all, you wouldn't pay who knows how much each term and see your daughter only during Christmas for a recreational hobby. These girls are dead serious, dude.

[vsl9089vir]

@lisanguyen12

This is by no means a luxury school ! School and dance tuition is free, if you wish you can board (for $1,000.00 a semester ! from Sunday night to Friday afternoon and go home on the week end. If you live close enough you go home every night. Yes it is an elite school, but it is free, just like any public school in France.

[4evdancer]

Those tondues are amazing!!

[madydance]

@4evdancer its tendus

[4evdancer]

@madydance Well excuse Me!!!!! Just kidding THANKS!!!! :)

[madydance]

@4evdancer hahha youre welcome, tondus means like shaving... its a whole different thing!

[Ballet33Hottie]

AMAZING !!!!

[mynamebabeballet]

they're really thin.

[blueberryskirts]

dalma33: She is saying that not pointing your arch cuts the line of the leg

[InuYashaDem0n]

I like when the teacher says un, deux, trois, cinq, six, sept, huit!!

(i dont think she said sept and huit but oh well!)

[MademoiselleBallett]

i love the pas de deux, it's amazing :)

[dalma33]

could someone translate into spanish or english the first part?? sounds interesting

[monequu]

I actually don't speak french but i THINK she's saying somthing about if you don't pointe you foot the right way you're using the the wrong mucles, and your foot won't have a good line...

[mamz3ll3danse]

yes that's it!! (I'm french ;)

[HKGleclercq]

@monequu well, actually. She is not really saying that if you don't point your foot in the right way. It actually is in your bohnes. Some people are born with an arch, others aren't. And the people who don't have the arch will never be able to poiunt their foot correctly. Otherwise, the rest is correct :) ( im french)

[monequu]

@HKGleclercq as I said, I don't speak french :p

[HKGleclercq]

@monequu well for a non-speaking french person (LOL) you understand really well :)

[xSugarplum]

@HKGleclercq

Actually, she was saying that if you don't point your foot correctly, the line will be broken and the muscles will appear larger. Whats he was demonstrating is called curling the toes, and many dancers do it. Anyone can point their foot correctly, low arch, high arch, or no arch. It won't look the same depending on the build of the foot, but nowhere does she say (because it isn't true) that pointing your feet depends on your bone structure.

[HKGleclercq]

@xSugarplum Yes you are right that anyone what can point their foot correctly, but what she is saying is that there are people who have a high arche (" coup-de pied") and then she asked the girl to curl her foot to try to imitate how people without a high aches may seem when their foot is pointed, demonstrating that the line is cut. She is not talking about pointing your foot correctly.

[HKGleclercq]

@HKGleclercq I know because i'm french, go to french school, speak french gfluently and also mostly because i'm so in love with l'opera de Paris that i must have watched this documentary a million times LOL xD

[ellehowlett]

@HKGleclercq I have spoken French my entire life, and I have to agree with xSugarplum, coup-de-pied means neck of the foot (ankle) not high arch. She IS talking about pointing the foot properly.

[HKGleclercq]

@ellehowlett ok, mais moi j'avais compris qu'elle parlait des differents types de cambrures: que certaines avait un pied "fer a repasser" et que d'autres avaient le "coup-de-pied"...je pensais pas qu'elle essayait de montrer la bonne maniere de cambrer son pied...

so i guess you're right xSugarplum!

[iamtheladyofsorrows]

i love the girls in light blue. Those tendus! omg.

And what the girls in purple do look so tiring. But they do it just marvelous.

[magguy69]

Aurélie Dupont encore à l'opéra, un bonheur de la voir très jeune fille

[Juchipluuu]

omg!!! i tried to do the tendus and its so IMPOSSIBLE!!

[dancer2bff7]

tendus is Just pointing your foot out .. it's not hard..

[Juchipluuu]

nope i know how to i the tendus but that tendus are imossible i meant that exercise

[icarrus4u]

Not impossible... Their instructor is giving them a good rhythm to follow, try it!

[Juchipluuu]

ok i will.. by the way is there a way to know if im ready for pointeshoes??

[madison95035]

@Juchipluuu You should ask your dance teacher. XD

[lisanguyen12]

can't stop watching the tendus!

[emizrock1n]

AMAZONG! i would die to be that good at ballet class

[themrsbiebz]

@emizrock1n same here

[kalnmr93]

wow i wish i could dance like them

[ambieballerina527]

an amazing young girl. she reminds me of myself.

[MsBallerinaful]

shut up stick up lamb

[jadorelaballet]

bien!

[danceloverableful]

je prérère les léotards sans jupes comme celui des grands ballets canadiens!

[RockPrincess141]

the leaps of the girl in white are absolutely magnificent i hope i can start doing ballet again so that i may learn to do those beautiful dance steps

[RoyalClassique]

the extensions of the girls in pink at the end were amazing!!! i wish i knew how old they were...

[danzamore]

the girl in the middle at the end is Ghislaine Fallou. She was 14 at the time but already a graduating student. She had to repeat the year, however, in order to join the corps the ballet because at 14 she was still too young. I think the other girls are a bit older than her, between 15 and 17.

[sweetpoison94]

omg i just realised that they're so good it looks disturbing. they look like robots.

[liaballerina]

wow!!

[vivalasexiiix3]

the girl in the white leotard when she did those leaps, the leaps were really nice.

[danzamore]

that's Elisabeth Platel! She was already an Etoile dancer of the Paris Opera back then!

[vivalasexiiix3]

i like those blue leotards, they're really pretty.

and i loved watching the excersize they were doing on the ballet barre.

[OnlyBallet]

That's Claude Bessy right in

the beginning and later,

teaching the girls in lilac.

(Claude Bessy gave a seminar in

South Africa a few years ago.)

[OnlyBallet]

Fascinating documentary!

I do ballet myself,

so I know just how difficult

even the "simple" steps are.

[maddie271]

Amazing!

At the very end how old do you think that the girls are?

They are all so good!

[nymphetamine9mm]

oh wow... they are perfection. their technique is so pristine and yet they look so fluid, like they're truly dancing.

[BbluesCclues]

haha looks like a mirror between the tw girls 1:00

[LetsGoDownToThePANTS]

Heheh. I love it! And I understand some of what they're saying because I'm taking French at my school.

How old are the girls in the blue leotards?

[MattBL]

Me too.

[dancer2bff7]

like 13 14

[maddie271]

probably 12-14

[nicolerenee7]

The 2 little girls at the barre in the light blue leotards are amazing!

[nymphetamine9mm]

I know right!! their tendus are so clean!!

[sacachanel]

Superbe vidéo! Merci beaucoup! Mais ou les a tu trouvées? Je n'ai vu nulle part ce dvd à vendre et j'aimerais beaucoup en voir plus!

[Lindagata75]

She's an amazing teacher. My teacher when I was little was a male instructor he was awesome. But in my teens were all ladies. Both ladies in this video are amazing the brunette and the blonde. What a great instructor is the blonde one.

[dansedu92]

Elles sont si parfaites:souplesse,propreté,g­race,coup de pied....Tellement magfnifique,rien à ajouter!!!!

[nicolovelifeXD]

really wonderful.. i like dancing.. the dance's world is magic..

[frankiedukee]

@nicolovelifeXD the girl at the beginning has sexy feet

[garnetcat21]

why they wore different colour leotards?

it means grade?^^

[dansedu92]

Yes,it mean grades.Every grades has a different colour leotards (sorry for my english :( )

[fashionballetNYC]

How old are the girls in the purple at 2:24?

[ShinyLopunny]

16 or 17?

[LysFlower13]

They are 14.

[yoptru]

me gusto mucho ya que el ballet es mi vida

bueno espero algun dia ir a opera paris

[MegaCawotte]

She said "allez", not "aller" (same pronunciation ^^)

[silverspace432]

i noticed the teachers always say "aller" (to go). Do they mean it as in go! go! go!

[xSugarplum]

Like any other language French uses certain words in a form of "slang" to mean something else. "Aller" doesn't really mean "go" in this case, it's more like, "come on.." as in, "do it". If they wanted to say "GO!" as in "go for it", they would say "vas-y", which means "go there", but can be used in many ways, like "aller", and like many other words. ;) Literal translations of words rarely works when trying to understand people in a casual conversation setting.

[cupkatie]

in that context she's using it to say okay

[iheartcorgis]

then why wouldn't she just say d'accord?

[bRuNn3tt3]

Does anyone know what this documentary is called?? If you could please respond, it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!! :)

[Tshiovo]

Quel bonheur de voir la grande Etoile Aurélie Dupont entrain de s'exercer, et si jeune! Magnifique vidéo!!!

[xmariaballerina]

i love thiss! those girls are all beautiful dancers and the teachers look amazing.

[biglittlecare]

I love in the beginning how you can understand what she's saying even if you don't speak French. Haha. I love POB, they're always so fantastic.

[BalletRulez]

Luv this video!

[SophieNeveudancer]

im not sure...probably i'm totally wrong, but the two older girls look like 2 dancers in the movie "etoiles" could it be??

[Tshiovo]

Oui, on reconnait bien Aurélie Dupont,qui est une grande Etoile à l'Opéra de Paris. L'autre danseuse ,je ne vois pas qui c'est.Avec vous dans l'amour de la danse!!!

[emilou1994]

This is amazingg

*goes green with envy*

[marianmarcoruiz]

I love this documentary!! Might you it put point?? =D

[GymnasticDancer]

Who is the girl in purple beside Aurelie Dupont? (If that is Aurelie...)

[Mijnaxx]

Her first name is Noelle

[sydneyjewels]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's Delphine Baey.

[marrockdu59]

Quel age ont ces danseuses ?

[Deem09]

WHOOAAAAWW!

[jordyballerina96]

they move their feet so fast in the battement tendu and yet do it perfectly!!!

[brwnhoney]

wow the barre work was soo fast. great stuff. I love how when the dancer in white is demonstrating for the younger dancers, how the younger dancers are discussing the move the dancer in white performing. it looks like hard work but the dancers look amazing.

[annietart]

The dancer in white (I missed her name) had the most beautiful leaps I have ever seen.

[lilawassi]

The dancer in white in Elisabeth Platel.

[hbanana7]

I swear I've seen this clip a hundred time...I LOVE this particular clip. Esp when they are doing tendu, it makes my eyes spin. The coup de le pied also very impressive.

[shanongrace]

wow amazing. they're so advanced. and the little kids point their feet too when they jump for their sotae(idk how to spell it)

[ElizaMogha]

saute, with an accent on the e (i dont know how i can stress it here). sauter=to jump!

:)

[mImSiii]

im older than those kids at the end a havent danse with a partnet :| awesome!! =]]]

[BallerinaKayy]

can you put the whole thing on??

[TrippinZiggy]

The little ones were sticking their butts out when they jumped. haha. I think the teacher told her to straighten her back though, so that's good.

[AnnaYoutuub]

Je trouve cette vidéo parfaite <3 C mon reeve<3
