Ballet: Sabre Dance - MCB

[27Bluebottle]

This is where the dancers are supposed to show how good they are with sabres. Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't seem to be happening

[jillgivler]

where's the plates spinning on sticks?

[NoSuchThing2009]

@jillgivler this comment actually had me belly laughing. cheers a bunch :-D

[xzxc1256]

GREAT ARMENIAN COMPOZER



[4nxchangebari]

yeah

dudes must be crazy to do ballet

they have to embarrass themselves when they have to wear tights

[nadador64]

a bunch of kids, running with scissors...

[trissinti]

I'm sorry but it's bad, even a light year close to neophyte such as I can see that!

[purple97ify]

Really? beautiful music, but choreography? eww... and the whole time they're just randomly jumping.... the dancers could not have liked this choreo.

[Kittyrebeccalai]

dancers themselves seem good...just the person who came up with choreography...

[neutral4]

the dancing is not very good but not because of the dancers. THey are very good. THe choreography stinks.

[Fullhouse1995]

The part at 1:22 where the little "duet" is interupeted by the other people spinning around randomly is really funny! hahaha! I was hoping to find a better coreographed version of this song..anyone know a place where i could watch a different clip?

[iyavn]

Crazyness. I will be dancing this for my solo, flying and jumping around the stage! Good luck to me!

[CandyCat957]

same here, only in the begining i do fouttes

[alphadot]

@iyavn nice to know

[Quirkulous]

Really, this ballet is so ridiculously amateurish... Of course the music is simply amazing but is tragically let down by the *ahem* "choreography?"...

[ArmOfeli]

Music - Of course Great

Ballet - poor, very poor

[acr08807]

@ArmOfeli Sir, I will have you know that you are insulting the finest ballet troop in Burbank.  For shame!

[RoshenRRujj]

@ArmOfeli of course, it is a natioanl song Azerbaijani Turks ))

[lusentag]

However turks pretend to be civilized they are the same hipocrits, liers, barbarians as before...

azeris never capable of creating something like this. All they do is kill, rob, steal, everything, cultures, land, history, traditions. Nomads, barbarians as always had been and would be...

[YaakovSarafian]

@lusentag And I agree 100% with you :))))

[klin1klinom]

@ArmOfeli Just as I thought there's something wrong with me)) Indeed, sad sight that was.

[shoishoi]

music wonderful, dance silly

[metaMamay]

many thanks for the video!

but the corps-de-ballet looks, er, amateur I'd say :(

[SovieTiko310]

armenian composer made this

[AlexandriaWong]

this is really good!

[acr08807]

Why are they all dancing on their toes? Are their feet deformed?

[guitarristfrombeyond]

dude never seen ballet?

[acr08807]

I try my best to avoid it.

[hotshotkiller13]

Dont you see that they wear ballet shoes?

[acr08807]

Hey, man, thanks for pointing that out. Do they wear them to hide their deformed feet?

[hotshotkiller13]

Well, deformed feet depends on how hard you train and how you take care your feet, not all the dancer got that.

[acr08807]

Got it. They start out with normal feet, then they get deformed, so they have to wear special shoes that make them dance on their toes. They must be very dedicated to put themselves through that. Not to mention stone cold nuts.

[maraj021]

Actually, most dancers start out with normal feet , then strengthen them to the point where they can dance in the specialiazed pointe shoes to prevent deforming of the feet from dancing on the tips of toes. Dancers who don't dance on pointe usually have fairly normal or weaker feet & ankles compared to those on pointe. Deforming usually occurs when insufficient training or strength is overlooked for the sake of aesthetics(appearances). Yes,they are dedicated;crazy,not more so than any athlete.

[acr08807]

Thanks, now I understand that the crazy people aren't the dancers--they're just idiots--but the ones who pay to watch these idiots dance on their toes.

[maraj021]

:) True- but you could say the same of anybody who pays to see grown men chase a ball w/ their feet, knock around a puck w/ a stick, throw an oblong cyllindrical ball around and tackle each other for it, and many other seemingly pointless pursuits.Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes idiocy or artistry,and the world is better for the diversity. I'm glad you're not afraid to watch something even if it seems absurd in order to broaden your experience.

[acr08807]

I would say that about people who pay to see grown men chase a ball w/ their feet, if those grown men did it on tippie-toes.

[ohyakim]

wat the f*$%

[trrobin2005]

I love it but, where is mother ginger???
