VERY FUNNY ! TAKE A LOOK TO THE DYING SWAN (GUY) DANCING

[SuperCubanforever]

self correction

this is the trockadero ballet that brings back the ballet from ages ago.

since women where not allowed to work. mens where used to do ballerinas.

what you see before you is how ballet used to be right before women where given rights. so you all need to thanks God that women got rights because this is how ballet would had being today

[MsAlone4now]

Hillarious! The molting was great, I mea as we get older our hair does thin out anyway right? Makes sense the poor swan was at deaths door so why not lose most of those feathers? Must have had some bag lined in tutu so feathers could fall & be replaced befe next performance. Otherwise how could they restuff the coustume??

[HedgesPictures]

Always one of my favorite vids...what about Balletdude? Check out our movie Dance World Revelations for some similar jokes!

[ACookieNamedMissy]

@SuperCubanForever Defensive much? He is a Danseur BTW Not a Ballerino. :\ ;)

[Mrsdanceaholic14]

the bad thing is for a guy this is kind of beautiful....aha

[SuperCubanforever]

no wonder why men dont do point -_-

[vexy24pexy]

osea que estupides no saben de verdad lo q es el ballet clasico

[SuperCubanforever]

@vexy24pexy se ruenieron a aserle un omenage a una ballarina que bailaba eso por eso es que lo hicieron.

Y yo pienso que es muy gracioso

[Cheerbabeforeverable]

hes better en pointe than alot of girl dancers i know

[Happy5479]

amazing!!!!!

[NickScotte]

the molting thing is actually kind of beautiful......

[toulousereg]

*gasp* It's Mr. 2 Bon Kurei! Okama waaaaay!

[iluvballetyay]

hey look its natalie portman in the black swan makeup JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikeskillz23]

His pubic hairvhas mad dandruff

[ilseruiz96]

i <3 it!!! it´s soo cool

[preppygurl428]

how the hell does a man manage to dance like that...i mean despite the fact that its funny i mean HES EN POINTE!!!!

[pointegal13]

@preppygurl428 it was actually the men who went on pointe originally, but somehow women got involved and men just don't do it anymore! I say good for him, saying men can do it too!

[sbbw98]

@pointegal13 except the men who origionally went en pointe didn't wear tutus...

[wayuponthemountain]

*sigh* It's so annoying to tell people that this music isn't from the Swan Lake, but from Carnaval des Animaux. Natalie Portman never danced on this music in that movie. But I must say I absolutely love this choreography. At first i didn't even notice it's a man who is dancing. Extremely good and funny. I totally love it. Bravo / Brava

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

This is not funny at ALL I love swan lake and I think it's awful that anyone would make fun of it

[hhollygolightly]

@GlenHelenGHOfeeder This is not Swan Lake... it's a "Dying Swan" variation to Saint-Saëns's The Carnival of the Animals: The Swan.

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

@hhollygolightly It's awful

[pics2share]

@GlenHelenGHOfeeder

You really see this as "making fun" of something, instead of just being

a humorous homage? Its not a take of of Swan Lake, anyway, so your

anger is a bit misplaced. This is a satire of The Dying Swan. A lillte humor

never hurt anyone.

[eclipsefan1000]

i thought he was a girl in the begining lol XD

[TwilightIsBest1234]

He has pretty legs... O.o

[MsCrazzygirls101]

That was stupid

[AlicjaKTM]

MEGA :D :D :D hehehehe

[TheBlondie712]

i wish i had those thin legs !!

[physicsiscrazy]

He is brilliant!

[balletfreak97]

omg!!! for a guy, hes actually over his box!! amazing!!! it must have taken him a long time to get used to pointe shoes!!!!

[XDmytube]

How long does it take to drop all those feathers?? orz

[tutus4life]

@XDmytube depends on how fast you bourre :P

[TheSuperkaninchen]

he s way better than me:D

[pandazatthedisco]

That must take guts!

[19chibininja96]

DANG!his arch is HECKA nice!I'm kinda jealous >.>

[TobiShinobii]

For a guy hes pritty dam graceful

[OxymoronicRomantic]

...I am in love with that costume design. And he moves very gracefully...why he wants to. ;-)

[PowerUpPlease]

I find this version to be quite beautiful and tragic. Just in a different way to the original.

[jesuspelaezdelgado]

una muy particular forma de morir este cisne

[siamorevida]

Muito legal... Adorei...

kkkkkkkkkkkkk

Lindo e divertidissimo...

[AnimePonyDragon]

2:07 is the funniest bit

[FuriousDancersSchooL]

AXAXAXAXAXAXAX is really funny!!!

[LisaSimpsonRules1st]

And the swan kicked the bucket!

[GBPMiley]

Funny. certainly he has great technique, but screw up with Swan Lake. As a dancer, I honestly felt insulted and debased, but what can I do, that's what most people like to watch, unfortunately. But I can`t deny that`s funny..

[GBPMiley]

Oh, funny! certainly he has great technique, but screw up with the Swan Lake kkk As a dancer, I honestly felt insulted and debased, but what can I do, that's what most people like.

[papoocanada]

FUNNY......VERY FUNNY ! ...must watch !! BULL

let us judge if its funny or not, TWIT

[physicsiscrazy]

they are amazing! Seriously, I think these guys are amazing! Standing on their points! Wow. They do show the beauty of ballet somehow.

[pharohsb]

um, wow. ......wow. How he's able to do all that beats me. he kicks some serious butt en pointe!! awesome bourees, and he does the part so well!!! whoaaaa man......whoa. bravo.

[Xeduxion]

Saw him and the rest of the Trocadero klan at Joyce in NYC.....the modern piece was hilarious!!!

[marshamc]

eat your heart out natalie portman!

[SuperCubanforever]

@marshamc bruh, he's a BALLARINO he took ballet. natali portman is an ACTRESS she took actuation.

and natali portman took ballet too but it was for a year this dude took more lessons that she did

[toobmaniac]

@SuperCubanforever who gives a fuck it's still some nasty looking shit LMAO.......

[SuperCubanforever]

@toobmaniac can you imagine that this is how ballet first was >.<

[gmhmilenio]

hahah 1:05 and 1:13 cracked me up, well goddamn he's actually really good lol

[yuruzenritsu]

XD i thought he was a girl at first sight ..wth :D anyways nice nice nice haha

[odaventus]

Je suis si furieux à la personne qui l'a fait. Abomination!

[Kentislandgirl]

Haha. Hilarious but still beautiful pointe work.

[dancer4freakinlife]

nice feet!

[JanH0le]

even though the dance is funny, there's amazing technique and footwork there. i mean, can you prance around on your toes for like,....three minutes straight?

[MrNocco]

omg its daniil simkin!

[carlaroseone]

amazing pointe work!!! 

[maddie271]

skinniest guy ive ever seen

[donquijotedebolonia]

¡es MUY bueno! consigue convertir en cómico una obra tan seria sin caer en la carcajada fácil, además, la ténica es buenísima, por no hablar de la mímica de la cara...

[Laveerocks127]

Omg! My best fiend told my to watch this and it's so freaking funny!! :)

[phylliselias]

Loved it as it gave me a real laugh. Dancing was pretty good too - you have to be good to fool around like that and be convincing!

[sazuist]

OMG! I like his dancing, n beautiful, but when i saw his face~ XD

[peacegirl10144]

OMG im a dancer on point and he's better than me!!!!!!!

[EncoreLPYZ]

he's not that bad actually xD

[missolive10100]

lol, omg that was hilarious! It's bcuz of videos like this though that people think guy dancers are gay...

[Funtabulosity329]

that's actually a really good idea......

[ArtsBallet]

Ballet Trocadero !

[mssari101]

wow he's amazing on pointtee!! he looks anorexic :PlolD"

[Balletgirlhopepointe]

@mssari101 he is and he is a very bad dancer

[mssari101]

@Balletgirlhopepointe i dont think hes bad at all! you have to know that he's a GUY. not a girl, andits hard to dance on pointe if youre not a female :@

[mssari101]

wow he's amazing on pointtee!!

[IndiaHicks1]

skin disease.lol But he's good to be in pointe shoes bourre n.I honestly didn't know she was a he until he turned around forward.lol

[lurconis666]

In czarist Russia, ballet plays you!

[ejen1234]

I was drinking watching this and accidentally spray on my sister head after saw his face.



[CocoaAliceCat]

@ejen1234 Good Job!! ^-^

[TheClairese]

These guys are great but even better live! Great comedy & even better technique. :)

[RawrMaddi]

Is it possible to love and hate a video at the same time?? If so. This Is the video

[idiotte]

would this be les ballets grandiva?

[BarbieGirlDolls100]

@idiotte this is Trockadero

[MsLilkitkat]

his arms are so skinny! wow this was funny haha

[Manondelagym]

oh my god he is CRUELLA LOL LOL LOL LOL but he dance well

[dug60660]

[dug60660]

brilliant!

[TheKitty887]

GEEZ! is that a guy?! he's so skinny! and goodpointe! skinier than me!

[ravegods]

LOL. Too funny XD

[sigmasadok]

Is this a Swan? I think it`s an ill bath

[sigmasadok]

swan? I think it`s an ill bat

[wendyverdades]

The gentleman is an amazing dancer and I have learned so much from him. I wish I had his technique couple with his skills as an actor and comic. I love his style!

[idancehim22]

That was absolutely horrible and mean!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MissOguri]

It's sometimes funny, especially the end, but somehow, I can't really take this as a comedy, indeed the technique is very good, and somehow, those falling feathers give it a certain elegance, though it must be horrible to clean it up xD

[paulostroff99]

This was certainly no feather in her cap

[shirochan93]

I (L) BALLET TROCKADERO DE MONTECARLO

[DiabolikaxD]

Yeah its very funny but at the same time is really nice, their moves are nice and their technique is amacing ^^

[olibandi]

Férfiak női ruhában. Ráadásul nőies kecsességgel balettoznak. Ki mondja, hogy ez nem vicces? (Les Ballets Trocadero de Monte Carlo - élőben sokkal erősebb)

[Astrathiul]

I love them...they just make my day!

[Comenter0555]

i like his featthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!1

[saunabelt]

His technique is very impressive. :) I like the way his arms flow. =)) =))

still. this really made me laugh hahahaha funny feathers.

[princesso8788]

Must have been a challenge not to slip on the feathers

[EldaChii]

What is his name?

[nattofreak]

I love you Paul

[nattofreak]

not only is he a comic genius and brilliant dancer, he is the sweetest and most hardworking person in the dance world. I love you Paul!

[CHULEXIS]

Me encanta este video, llego a llorar de tanto reirme cada vez que lo veo!!!

[tenore23]

en point! Bravo!

[Merejkowski]

I feel like I should be offended--I adore The Dying Swan, especially with Lopatkina dancing--only I find that it isn't possible. It's just too funny--an excellent satire. A great deal of work went into this.

[Loves2dance13]

Hahahahahahahahahaha.... This is HILARIOUS... It's great that his legs and feet look so beautiful, the comedy wouldn't quite work right if this wasn't such a beautiful dancer. :D We need more drag queen ballerinas like this :D

[Starlet1125]

lol this is really funny

[41dieter]

After having seen the show whenever they came to the Bay area for the first performance here, I have always enjoyd them. Yesterday, 2/13/2010, I saw them again at the Marin Center in San Rafael.

This was the best of the shows I have seen. What a great talent pool they can choose from. I am a fan of them from the time I haveve seen them first.

[cedreybeau]

un video del cual disfrutaba muuuucho y ahora que estoy estudiandolo para tarea se a convergtido en un dolor de cabeza imprecionante....

[SuperBallet4life]

The feathers were a really great idea.. i know hes a guy, but he is really good for a guy on points (:

[charlikecoal]

..... I'm laughing yet crying. The dance is ridiculous but you can tell he's so good on pointe. I'm so pumped now. This is going to make me work harder. Yay for motivation!

[phil2u]

It's from a show by Le Grand Ballet Trockadero

[evfr123]

If you think about it the feathers are a nice effect :D

[mylilgreenbox14]

For those of you who aren't aware he's mocking Ulyana Lopatkina, one of the best Russian ballerinas of all time. So this isn't very funny and his ugliness is not helping

[tatasina]

@mylilgreenbox14 pleeeease, a bit of humor...

[simplyrose123]

haha, a guy in pointe shoes..man he's better than me..That was really funny and it was great. Im still laughing. haha♥

[deane8]

yes, i was thinking that.. it's funny, BUT it's very technical brilliant isn't it? I don't know for sure, as I am not a dancer.

[pics2share]

Keeps stalling/freezing at the 0:40 mark,

for me. :-(

[SnappleProductions]

lolz I love it.

It was funny, and the pointe work was still good.

[AmMedAss1]

Great pointe work! Better arm movements than Pavlova! What a horrible disappointment this was done in jest. This guy cudda been a contenda!

[DIDIBABE1]

this is jokes man

[MidgetBuddie]

Okk, i agree with some people at how amazing he was seeing as hes a bloke on point but its a parody, its suppose to be seen comical. Obviously if anyone is directly targeting him needs to give the guy a break. So what if he looks ugly or stupid?

[Sarafpp]

Excellent job guys! though this is a commedy, their technique is just amazing

[AnnaMxD]

@Sarafpp rispondi cosi

[IdoLLPrincess]

that literal....

xDDDD

looks nice

the effect of the feathers

should use it in the original interpretation... ok, no xD

[Beezia]

these guys are comedians they dont mean affence give them a brake plz!! great job for guys!!

[prettygabby]

he is the boy?

[sassydancer2016]

hahahaha that was funny and good! Amazing arms!!! i wish my dance school i go to now taught pointe, ive been in it 4 5+ years and i have amazingly strong ankles, Im so desperate to dance pointe, I use my hi-top converse as my pointe shoes, hi-top converse are amazing makeshift pointe shoes :)

[nikisworld05]

WTF who makes fun of the sawn lake I didn't know that was a guy I thought that was an ugly girl they should change the title that didn't make me laugh

[7805mimo]

i love it......  nice

[Lisann3tjuh]

it's not funny 'cuz he's really good

but he did some things you would laugh about :)

[Leila8able]

NOT FUNNY...........

[textingmachine411]

neither did i! he's really good though..

[ScarletStiletto]

How many feathers are there?:)

[0P1kachu]

Funny!

If he dances seriously he is SUPERB

[bakaneko434]

my ballet teacher showed us this about a yr ago. and we laughed so hard. cant believe i found it here! thx 4 uploading!

haha, it never gets old.....

[ivalapalooza]

LOOOOOL. 1:39 oohoohoo

[seandancer]

man can dance on point! great!!!!!

[ivalapalooza]

Oh my gosh I know! I thought it was an urban legend!

[seandancer]

hahaaa, right me too, since i started to dance on point, i realized, its true, yes we can! :o)))

[hannica7]

I love the feathers it makes a nice affect!

[Nebulafantasy]

This is bizarre!!! XDDD

[Marianinhaa1000]

oh, i love trockadero xD they are so funny and briliant dancers!!

[ladivina20f8]

Trockadero de Monte Carlo! BRAVO!

[chocmaan]

Lol that's so funny!!! And a guy en pointe wow!

[zincopper]

This swan's dying of some skin disease!!

[maggi007]

i love it when men go en pointe!

[ILikeCokeGirl]

hehehe

[kiamie123]

omg sooo funny!

[szczeniaczek393]

heh this is brilliant!!! Odette truly admirable ;-)

[krizalanda]

This is not Odette. Variation of Dying Swan isn´t from Swan Lake.

[szczeniaczek393]

Oh I`m sorry, I`m wrong....Now I know that is was`t Odette....

[youlosez]

His toes can break steel. Nuff said

[ladivina20f8]

Well said my friend!!!!!

[hrryzdlr]

i can't believe i actually found this funny.

i feel so intelligent because i got all the pavlova and makarova references :D

[RandomnessClubess]

Omg I thought it was a girl :P

[OscarDLM27]

Seems this is Trockadero ballet.... a parody of ballet dancing but with all the style, toughness and abilities of ballet.

[PrincessSakuno]

EEW ROFL

he needs boob transplants

[KEYBOY1000]

funny fun

[yaaruka789]

it wasnt that funny... and when from guys wearing pointe shes!?

[Atlantaballerina]

I hate it when me dance en pointe. not funny to me.

[icantpirrouette13]

I dance on pointe to jerk. come on it's got to hurt a lot more for him cause he probably weighs about twice as much as you do but he has a good sense of humor, unlike SOMEBODY i could name...

[nyjordy]

He is Paul Ghiselin , he's actually a very very sweet guy ..

[Spydancer]

He's been with the Trocks a long time. Also he's ballet Master :)

[Spydancer]

His real name is Paul Ghiselin (I'm not sure if the last name is spelled right) ...

[sayyiflyy]

i thought he was a girl until i read the comments.

was there a book about this?

[xXBalletLoverXx]

omg..hes talented!!!! i think he is bi.. XD

[SMcatCORViN]

Got it - it's: Le Ballet Trockadero

[SMcatCORViN]

Amazing, he do it with humor & real grace!

Anyone know how hes called? Or do he got a website?

[AnaLatika]

Divertidissimo!!

[dinoy94]

he's so thin!
