Thank you, that was just incredibly beautiful, tender, and so gorgeous! The French technique and the POB reminds me of the Royal Danish (Bournonville) technique I was trained in. It's so beautiful and so clean (especially in the petit allegro) as demonstrated by the gorgeous Dominique and her entire family. Trés Manifique!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! You were fortunate indeed to be trained in the Bournonville technique!
Вы знаете, я совсем не специалист, но тоже почему то сразу подумала о Королевских балетных спектаклях! Не помню, откуда такие ощущения, возможно, было какое то видео на эту тему. И тут прочитала Ваш комментарий. Благодарю Вас, здоровья Вам!
@@nataliamoroz2744 Thank you for all your wonderful participation in my videos and comments, Natalia! @fleurdelis335 was actually referring to the Royal Danish ballet style of Denmark, not the Royal Ballet of England. You are right that these companies have distinctly different styles to the great Russian school of ballet. Best of health to you and thank you!
Mathieu is my all-time favourite dancer! His parents were absolutely glorious etoiles as well, remarkable genes indeed! 💓💓💓🎉
Yes, indeed! And thank you for your video and comment! 😊💗
@@TheBunduBallerina Thank you! I was delighted. So many years of balletomania and your channel has always been a constant, congratulations on keeping up the good work! 💪🏻
@@EmFdtr Ah, thanks so much! I love your 3 videos, too! It is fascinating to see one of my favorites, Elisabeth Platel being coached by the great master Pierre Lacotte for Peasant PDD. Such a rare video. Thank you!
What an amazing family!
They are! 😊
A family of very talented dancers without doubt. A joy to watch.
Thank you.
One of my favourite male ballet dancers! Thank you so much for this compillation; absolutley wonderful to watch! 😍🥰❤🙏🙏
You're welcome. 😊 Thank you for your wonderful comments! 💖
Это так прекрасно, на все времена!!
Thank you!
Très beau document, merci .😀😀😀😀
Merci. 😊
They are a fantastic ballet family. I adore them.💖
Yes, indeed.
8:39 This lift is absolutely incredible! Also, Farukh Ruzimatov once said that the Khalfouni-Ganio chemistry on stage is the best he knows and is a textbook.
Thank you for your wonderful comment and interesting input.
Great art that is appreciated by so few . .
Absolutely…
@@TheBunduBallerinaFortunately, we love it. ❤❤
@@cynthiafletcher9845 Yes, that is true. And ballet is appreciated internationally even if it's not hyped up as much as for example football.
Gorgeous dancers - beautiful selection ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 😊
Loved this!!! ❤ more!
Thank you! ☺️
My deepest gratitude.
Thank you very much.
Más que estupendo.!! Maravilloso !!!
Thank you!
Огромная Вам благодарность! Все таки мы мало знаем балетных других стран. Так много смотрела выступлений прекрасных советских звезд, а иностранных совсем мало. В этом видео все такие красивые! А вот Школа все таки другая. Благодарю Вас! Очень красиво. Познакомили с французами.
Thank you very much for your wonderful comments! I am glad you also enjoy these excellent dancers.
❤❤❤Every member of this family was born to dance and each one is fantastic. Thank you for this beautiful video
Yes, indeed! Thank you too!
Simplemente Belleza !!!❤❤❤❤
What an amazing family! The fact that Mathieu is still going strong is a tribute to his training and his incredible abilities. They were all quite wonderful, but my favorite clip was of Denys in "die Fledermaus". I'll have to see if there's a complete video of that . . . it's at the top of my list of favorite operettas.
Yes, they are indeed an amazing family! I also adore the video of Denys in "die Fledermaus"! So much brilliant acting and dancing combined. There are 3 clips up on YT from this performance. One of the links is in the description. It shows the complete dance from this part of "die Fledermaus".
These are the 3 video excerpts I found from the ballet "The Bat" or "die Fledermaus" with Denys Ganio: kzhead.info/sun/ea5yqsednYeJe4E/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/prR-cd6InWSwZok/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/qK57oNSneWtqdmg/bejne.html
@@TheBunduBallerina Bless you, my child, *B*L*E*S*S* you! 🤩
@@TheBunduBallerina Ahhhhhhhhh, signora, you *A*R*E* a fount of information! Ten thousand thanks! 🤩🤩
マチュー・ガニオさん、お父さんのデニス・ガニオさん好きでした✨お母さんのドミニク・カルフーニも素晴らしいですよね!両方のご両親のいいとこ取りですよね!素敵です✨🌟🌟シューベルトのセレナーデに合わせたの、ビデオで見て好きです😊フランツの恋だったかな～最後のシーン最高🎉
🙏😊💖
That was just wonderful, thank you. Amazing family with brilliant genes 🧬 🩰 🩰 🩰 👵🇦🇺
Thank you for your fantastic comments.
It's an exquisite, special compilation video ❤❤❤; and I quite admire the entire Ganio family of magnificent dancers ❤❤❤❤❤! And I love the Harlequinade sequence at the end of the video, of course. Little Harlequin (Mathieu Ganio) goes into 5th position, does the pirouettes, deftly executes grand jetés, and close ❤❤❤! Thank you @TheBunduBallerina for sharing ❤😊.
Still on the topic of Harlequinade, with Mia Pavlova's video link, . . it's nice to hear 'Riccardo Drigo's Serenade' music. Dominique Khalfouni is a beautiful étoile and Denys is also a great étoile ❤❤❤. And Mathieu takes after his parents' dance skillfullness ❤❤❤.
Thank you so much! ☺️ Yes, they are indeed an extraordinary family of stars! I agree - little Mathieu shows great talent in his moves for such a young child. He, like his parents, became an incredible Etoile and his sister is gifted too. Thanks again for your comments! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, the other extraordinary star dancer in the Ganio family is 'Marine Ganio' ❤️ ❤️❤️❤❤️. Anyway, I watched this video several times more last night, and each time, I smiled broadly at the Little Harlequin's impressive tumble movement ❤❤❤❤❤! Such a gorgeous 'dancing family' indeed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks @ B B ❤😊.
@@candidacarino669 Yes, isn't Mathieu as the Little Harlequin too adorable for words! I agree, his sister is indeed another star even if she is not Etoile. Thank you @candidacarino669 😍❤❤❤.
As always, thank you for the beautiful video 'The French Family of Ballet Stars (Dominique & Denys & Mathieu & Marine). It's true, Ballet Dancers have courage and bravery and somehow dancers believe the statement, like, if you learn ballet enough, then that's what you will do. You will dance ❤😊! We shall look forward with pleasure, future great video compilations from you @ BunduBallerina.
Absolutely amazing video. Denys Ganio was the also the teacher of Aran Bell of ABT.
Thank you for this interesting additional information
How interesting. I loved Aran Bell’s dancing and determination ever since I saw him perform in the movie “First Position”.
Wow this is so interesting!
Thank you! ☺️
Ternura e qualidade; lindo de se ver!!!
Thank you!
This reminds me of a long-standing debate about opera singers - singing actors versus acting singers, something Henry Pleasants wrote about in his book "The Great Singers". His preference was for the former, singers whose acting was on a par with their singing, as opposed to fine singers who were wooden on stage . As ballet is pantomime with music, acting ability is cheek-by-jowl with dancing ability in importance. One could argue the question, but after watching this video, I'd call the Ganio family dancing actors - four people whose acting is on a par with their amazing dancing.
I absolutely agree! All of the Ganio family of dancers are brilliant actors too. Just look at Mathieu's acting in this video not included in my compilation: kzhead.info/sun/atJwktCmsKqNgqM/bejne.html At 1.22 in the aforementioned video clip link, you see tears streaming down Ganio's face as Albrecht. His father and mother were also such incredibly versatile actors that must have touched their audiences to the heart. Thanks a lot for your comments!
@@TheBunduBallerina Grazie, signora, mille grazie! 🤩
@richardcleveland8549 You are most welcome 😊

Wonderful ballet stars. Thank you. Plse could you give the world some information about Monique Janota and the Golovine family.
Thanks for your comment and suggestion. I would love to do that, but am unable to find any videos of the Golovine family, not even of Monique Janota.
Gyönyörű. Gratulálok ! BRAVÓ. Tisztelettel, György Tibrea. Sok-sok sikert kívánok a továbbiakban.
Thank you!
