Is there a pre-written letter that we can all use to send to youtube's E-mail addresses?

I am not sure if I can write an up-to-standard message to youtube

It is terrible to see Ketinoa's videos being removed by this insane reason.

The complaint of this New York BT is insane.

If the problem still continues to exist,

we should boycott BT in a group, together with sending E-mails or letters to this company, if they have any contacts.

It is best to write in your own words, even if you write poorly. If everyone wrote the same letter, it would be worse.

I have to agree with everyone else about the tragic loss of so many historic videos with the deletion of ketinoa's account. however, I feel like the BT is being unfairly bashed in this context. They want to preserve the ballet's the way that he choreographed them and frankly, the Russian companies don't always adhere to that. I have seen video's of the Mariinksy performing Serenade where the principles kept their hair up the entire time, as well as the tschai pas variation which was cut short.

[russianballetvideo]

I feel the real issue about their desire to preserve his ballets they way they were done, is that they are actually hurting his reputation. Many ballet fans never heard of him because the organization is hiding his ballets. When he was alive, public television always showed his ballets on TV and his ballets were filmed by foreign TV or films.

Now his ballets are never shown on TV and the organization is preventing his ballets from being sold on DVD.

They are doing their best to make him extinct.

[EldestMushroom]

I have worked with a few of the repetiteurs and the only thing they are concerned with is keeping true to his vision. If ballet fans have never heard of him, then that is more of a problem in their dance education than an example of how the trust is hiding him away. While he was alive he was shown on TV because it brought ratings. Now the only bit of ballet bringing in ratings is Melissa on SYTYCD.

And the DVD issue? Same as before- they don't want the wrong version taught w/o permission

[russianballetvideo]

There are many people that will never be in the same city where one of his ballets will be performed and youtube would be their only possibility of seeing his work. Most of these people have never heard of him and if his work was on youtube, many more people would know about him.

Since the BT prevents inferior companies from performing his work, it is impossible for a student in Alabama or Mississippi to learn about him. There is in essence no ballet education. Dancers learn what see & dance

[naomimarik]

Incredible!!!

I will never watch any Balanchine coreography anymore. Besides, his works not my favourite ones, I will not miss them at all.

Poor Ketinoa...

[gioland71]

Given the ostracising nature of the BT, I have sworn never to buy a ticket for one of the B's shows. I do not understand the BT's goal: its behaviour is making B's work less known then ever before - no videos are allowed on youtube, even danced by BT approved companies. Creativity is also based on the exploration of the previous masters, how can the young kids learn and be inspired by something they cannot see and analyse at their will? All this copyright obsession is killing creativity!

Russianballetvideo, I would really want to know where I can find the video of Giselle performed by Somova and Shklyarov. I've been searching it for a long long time. Would you please tell me or put it on youtube if you have?

[bolshoiboy8]

wow! can we see this full length dumchenko giselle??? the video is so clear! or the somova one or the lopatkina one... ever since ketinoa died we lost alot of the full length classics.

[bolshoiboy8]

@EldestMushroom The first balanchine ballet i saw was on Ketinoa's page and I didn't even know it was Balanchine. I'd heard of him but his name meant nothing to me because I had never seen anything he's choreographed or the school's methods.

[Qbendanny]

Balanchine Taliban Trust, you in fact are conducting genocide on a Ballet Genius whose mission in life was to educate and spread to the West the glory of Russian Ballet. Exactly what Ketinoa's channel did. Shame,BTTFoundation.That's YOUR legacy.

[Qbendanny]

The Balanchine Taliban Trust has declared Jihad on the greatest ballet Channel on YT KETINOA for what? A few minutes of some B ballet actually being danced better by the Russians?

Mullahs, Von Aroldingen,Ashley, Lopez should be ashamed of this selfish act.

[raulishnikov]

I think YT can do nothing if they agreed to BT to remove Ketinoas account. But to write to BT may work...

[raulishnikov]

all young dancers know variations from Petipa isn't? that way his work is preserved for more than a century... and different versions of his variations are performed in a regular basis by top dancers around the world and are a standard for ballet competitions... if there were a Petipa's trust.. what would happened? Nureyev itself was prevented to dance Balanching in his late years. But Nureyev's versions are widely distribuited not only as performances but also in the making and backstage.
