Swan Lake Act II - Cygnets' Dance

[AllChintzAndFluff]

amazing how much they are in sync! i believe it is more difficult to do this than a solo part >.< but what do i know? i'm nowhere near a pro. anyway, i just noticed, from 0:48 until 0:55 is the girl on the left forgetting about the petit battement (if that's the right term)? or am i just seeing that?

[borntoberocknroll]

I always wondered why is that running in place leaning forwards and backwards part in this dance, looks so stupid...anyway, respect for dancers who can do this!

[loveyouliekmyself]

i have to do this at this summer it is really difficult !!!

[belslopez]

Amazing! Fantastic! Gorgeous! Lovely!

Bravo! Bravo!

[popstar432]

I always loved this part of the act!someday I wish to dance like that on en pointe!but I'm so close I'm in intermediate classes!just six more months!;D

[DJTazzieBFFL]

I think you will find it is

[123thewizkid]

Ballerinas make it look so easy!.....Trust me, I do pointe work, it's NOT!

[xiaoxiaojingjing0309]

reminded me back in the days, when i use to have ballet lessons. My classmates and I were only like 7-8 years old. It was hard to keep the coordination together, the first time we tried it we all toppled over and fell on the ground. Afterwards we felt like we were doing the wave b/c some of the girls jumped too high, but it was the best part and fun part to learn though or swan lake.

[ACADEMYGIRLZ6]

So I'm learning this dance at my studio, and omg this dance is killer... the heads is so confusing...

[deidaraismine4evr]

Loved it! 

[luvlucky101]

Wow!!! :D I couldn't help but chuckle a little at their heads when it came to the piqués (I can't spell) xD

[marieelpetraa]

holyyyyy fuck that was sooooo in sync wowoowowowwww amazing they make it look so effortless!

[pink96fly]

sincronia zero...

[MyGiobatta]

@pink96fly Eppure avrei detto: sincronia impeccabile....???

[Avalapis]

One of the hardest and most tiring dances I've ever done, but also my favourite :) These dancers were fantastic!

[mirnavalerio]

This is phenomenal.

[Gracie101100]

i think this is the best variation i have seen out of many ballet companies, they are roughly all the same size and their movements are soo synchronized and sharp they are simply stunning! perfection!

[Lottie7727]

Its absolutely amazing. For my school production we did a swan lake themed dance. It was so hard 2 keep in time with the other 2 girls. I admire these ballerinas so much :)

[teresacuesta]

what perfect synchronization!!! absolutely amazing!

[arpryse]

This is the best version I've seen on YouTube.

[Nasha743]

The most in sync vesrsion i've ever seen !! Beautiful, makeing it look so easy when its soooo not.

[blackeuh]

One of the better variations. It's the first time that I see almost all the gestures perfectly together.

[PrincessSakuno]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE MOST IN SYNC GROUP I HAVE EVER SEEN

[nnpurple]

third dancer to the right, is anyone else seeing her box dying on her?

[emmymac23]

@nnpurple yep, it starts around 1:50!

[Cooowwll]

can i have that song plz

[Friolanita]

one word, BEAUTIFUL! attempting this without hardwork would look like hopping frogs. I salute ballet dancers :)

[BalletGirl312]

Some people just don't understand how much time, effort, practice, and pure talent ballet takes, especially somthing like this.

[jcm1116]

i love this variation. omg the dancers are so skinny... simply beautiful ♥

[felic70]

some of the head movements are just the teensiest bit off, but the feet are perfect

[josephinea1]

those dancers are SO skinny

maybe its the costumes but ive always had the feeling that in the royal their bodies are a bit fuller

like misty copeland

[ricardopalma2009]

WONDERFUL....VERY BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN.....PERFECT....

[anaortizlandazury]

magnific

[downtown82]

Compered to the other three the girl on the left is really lazy in her technique and movement. I prefer the two girls in the middle.

[josephinea1]

@downtown82 i totally agree with you ;)

[Danlchannel]

This is one of the cleanest performances I've seen of this particular movement. VERY good on the execution (and they don't have an obnoxious orchestra to ruin the flow.)

[littlemermaid103]

they are really good! but they look really old..

[Kemrer]

Very Enjoyable.

[emilypudds]

amazing simply beatiful !

[TheEnglishRedRose]

the amount of times I fell on my butt during training trying to do this!!

[annieluv15]

yea,im 14 and i danced this a few months ago and i was pretty sure my toes were going to fall off. incredibly painful but amazing dance <3

[rosebud961]

i've always wanted to be a ballet dancer- but never had the pateince for it- this is AMAZING

[111Jabberwocky]

This dance has for me, shown more sadness and despair than any other dance in this ballet. I don't know why but its like the only dance that displays the terror and depression swan face in this ballet, don't ask me why. Vote this if you feel the same

[muchomarissa]

you know they're in sync when their tutus move together as well

[nuttynicky390]

and people think ballet is easy? i hate it when people say that!

[111Jabberwocky]

@nuttynicky390 I know why!

[lilmisscandycane]

Doing my own dance with my friends to this is was amazing. lol and we were like 8 at that time so we did a different dance. Swan Lake, the thing I dream for...

[kochamnalesniki]

Simply amazing!!

[MissJessKayxx]

I can do this :) i did it for my last dance show :') such a good dance to learn, so tricky though, but so much fun :) and i'm only 14, not saying it in a cocky way though, just a statement

[TraceyLouise2260]

This is brilliant- the person on the left is a bit stiff but still amazing. well done

[CheskaPalabrica]

Why you must never trust a dancer: They fool the eye into making the difficult look soooooooooo easy, like you're like, OMG I can so do that! And next thing you know you've fallen in a heap.

[TwilightIsBest1234]

Simply beautiful! I had a ballet class of 4 this year and I wanted to do this. But sadly, we weren't up to that level yet.

[AmenRocks1]

Everything that looking easy it allways hard to do, and everything that looks like it's hard is allways quite easy. :D (sorry bad english), this girls does it so it look like a easy thing, so it's probably really hard work :D And difficult.

[potnoodle1234567890]

Doing this in my ballet class right now.. literally the funniest thing ever, this is soooo difficult!!!

[AlyssaSunshine]

so beautiful, they do it with such ease and grace :)

[EliP271]

my favorite variation EVER. It's always been my dream to do this part...I will someday :)

[purplejoy10]

@EliP271 Good Luck! I wish  you well in your dream! I'm more of a Coppelia Fan.... :)

[CCOKay]

@EliP271 I've done this a few times. It's challenging but so much fun when you get it! good luck my dear =)

[Iilita3223]

@PeanutButter350g Either you're really cocky, or really stupid. The dance of the cygnets us one of the hardest to do. You have to move in complete sync, otherwise the whole thing could mess up. If you think it's easy to move your legs, feet, head, and then get into the end position at the same time as three other girls, think again idiot.

These girls do wonderfully on this, and I simply adore this play. :3

[danceismylife2000]

@Iilita3223 well just to tell u im only 11 and i nailed this dance but i do go to a very advanced ballet school

[SwanSisters]

@Iilita3223 It's not stupidity, it's setting a goal for yourself.

[peppermints1992]

@Iilita3223

Or maybe she is very good, and is hoping to get this well, because these girls got there, so she can too if she tries hard enough! Don't hate :(

[todanceornottodance1]

@Iilita3223 Agreed. You have to work with three other girls that may have been trained much differently than you, and you have to be in sync. This must really hurt their legs, too.

[foreverinthekitchen8]

@Iilita3223 well said!

[PeanutButter350g]

It seems so easy.

[mothafukingprincess]

@PeanutButter350g ahahahaaha seriously? :) i'd like to see you try.

[quasispecies]

@PeanutButter350g That's the point! Professionals are supposed to make it look easy, effortlessly beautiful.

[deathofangels1]

@PeanutButter350g

It seems easy but it is not. trust me. You can get kicked during it (I have that is how I know) if you even a millisecond off you can tell if you step too far or too close you can fuck it up. if your head is not in the right place it ruins it. if you miss something or forget. this takes hours and hours of practice. and out of studio practice after hours and getting in sync with the other girls so they are like a mirror image of you

[enpointegirl]

@deathofangels1 oh my gosh yea once in ballet class I was next 2 a girl in point shoes (we were doing glissades) and she accidently got to close and kicked me! YOUCH!!!!

[kickelikoppeli]

very good girls! one of them best!

[mastergx1]

very good, one of the best performances

[MrKarlmagnovich]

its beautiful  wow aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[TeamJacob1903]

wow! i wish i could do this :)

[rgur90x]

i just noticed ; after years, that they use this in disney's sleeping beauty. wow.

[expiredbread]

@rgur90x really? :O wow

[TheLayla89]

spectacular! 

[lacouerfairy]

Lovely!

[jngwatson]

Beautifully done.
