i thought this was real at first but the girl trying to get in the front caught me off guard and then i noticed it was choreographed. As a dancer myself, i fricking love this, thank you for making my night with this! I'll definitely send this to my ballet teacher!
Haha! Amazing! So happy this made your night!
I wonder how much of it was "kidding on the square".
As a ballet dancer I personally think you’re awesome I personally love ballet and I’m doing my very own home training for some pointe shoes i’m going to order some red ones I dance ballet a lot it’s my favorite style of dance and dance is my favorite sport keep up the good work! I’m 12 years old so any ballet dancers inspire me a lot. Also, is pointe training expensive? I’m just curious I’m doing my own at home because of covid-19. Thanks!
@@denisestancel2709 depending where you go, i do all types of dancing including competition dance, so including pointe its about 2000 dollars. But just pointe, it would be quite a bit less at my studio, but then again it just depends on where you go. Also, at the places near me, ballet is required to do any kind of dancing including pointe, so that extra class may add to the price. And depending on how good you are with replacing your shoes, that changes the price as well. so basically no matter what, the price may vary. Hope that helps!
@@veer4849 for how long are the 2000$?
This must’ve been so hard to choreograph and perform bc not only do you have to take comedic timing in place but make sure that no one gets hurt because nearly everyone is falling down. Seriously props to the cast and everyone behind this and I’m sure they must’ve had fun planning all this as much as the audience enjoyed this.
Yes, the young lady trying to steal the spotlight looked like she got doinked by some legs at one point but I think even that was choreographed.
Yeah, even the leg thing was choreographed
Also, it might have been very difficult for them to keep a straight face.
Someone always has to state the obvious! As if we all don’t know this shit already and we’re a bunch of little kids. Thank you for only trying to make youlook smart. Didn’t work btw!
In order to be THAT bad, they all had to be THAT good.🩰😂
there's so much happening at all times I don't even know where to look at
That is why we have to watch it over and over again..focusing each time on a different dancer. Don't worry..it won't get boring....
Hahaha😂😂 this though! I can tell you it was a blast to choreograph, had me crying with laughter every time we would rehearse!
Lol yes
I enjoyed this tremendously! ! The selfie dancer, the leg warmer girl, the stage manager trying to restore the stage cues, the Sean Spicer-looking lead male battling with his younger smaller competition, the helicopter mom, the riotous dancers flinging their shoes, the girl dancing the worm, the prima prima donna battle; I loved how ballet was transferred into the 21st Century! Excellent!
And the girl whose tutu was falling off
Selfie girl just *had* to be in there!
And that one girl who was tired and out of breath the entire time
*claims ticket before comment blows up*
The one who had only one pointe shoe on😂😂
Am I the only one that pays attention to the girls in the back trying not to get caught in it all..
It was planned
Sammee
The show must go on!!! A dash of sanity to balance the insanity. It made the rest of the craziness look even crazier. Perfect touch!
The entropy was there from the start. The late starter stage right, the pair missing their mark stage left, the subtle mistakes in timing. Well done.
The late starter got me right off - I forgave her as I thought to my self might be an injury, so what a trouper... The the rest, ah couldn't stop chuckling. I spit out my drink with the selfie appearance, well done indeed.
Plus the hot pink legwarmer. All completely intentional. Awesome.
The leg warmer was a tip off! Hilarious!
This was scripted to make it look like they were making mistakes. BUT, it was *so well done* to make it look like the mistakes happened during the performance. Kudos should be given to the dancers and their choreographer/s for a job well done.
I....I missed it all.. I was too distracted following the pink leg warmer
But...but, you can just watch it again🙄 . The pink leg warmer isn't THAT distracting!
@@jb6712 thanks captain obvious 🤦🏻♀️ did you really think I was being serious? It was a joke 😂
@@jb6712 get a sense of humor
😂 I couldn't stop staring at it!
🤣🤣🤣
This is so funny! When the one dancer is chasing the other one swinging her shoes over her head, I lost it! This had to be so much fun to perform
hahaha! Pointe shoe nunchucks! I couldn't help myself.
@@laurenwisdom1 If you ever update it, using a pair of pointe shoes as Alaska/Eskimo yo-yos sounds like it has serious comedic potential. 😂
I thought it was a pair of knickers lol
That one girl that actually got the other one into a shoulder sit was so impressive
Time stamp please
@@izzyshervey2421 3:45
She is a beast! Actually, she was a cheerleader so we put her awesome skills to good use!
I can't even imagine how long it must have taken to choreograph all of this chaos, never mind learn and rehearse it 😂
I was there for this! Me and my studio were sitting near the front, and were is shocked when that first girl rushed on stage late but we were laughing our asses off three minutes in
Whoops!!! didn't notice that... have to watch it again 😅
Time stamp?
@@SirenBells literally right at the beginning, just as you start to see the stage, a girl ran on late at the left side
3:41 that girl who casually pulls out her phone
I missed that! Thank you for pointing it out! =)
She’s like: awwhh my dad just texted one sec guys
How did you notice that????!
@@invertedyogi7487 😏 I guess we’ll never know
Did u notice her coughing too? 🤣
That wasn't ballet gone bad, that was ballet done great.
Just that one girl at the end with her tutu falling off
I can't stop crying 🤣 The ballerina doing the worm ..... the Prima Ballerina chasing the other girl from stage left to right and back while twirling a pair of pointe shoes like a lasso, the ballerina falling off the stage, and the list goes on! This is one of the best things I've seen in a while. This ensemble is brilliant! 😍👏😂
Many of their 'antics' are copied/borrowed/influenced from the ALL MALE troupe Ballets Trockaderos de Monte Carlo - which I saw do much the same things a few years before these.
4:56 SHE'S GRINDING LMAOOO I CAN'T
Fight choreography, dance, comedy...this had it all!
Plot twist: it wasn’t planned
They say humor is one of the hardest elements to portray in dancing...well done!!!
That neon pink leg warmer is a real show stealer, such talent ~
I love that it starts out so serious then descends into chaos and the prima swinging her slippers around her head like a weapon had me in stitches thankyou this made my day 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️💯
This is awesome! Loved every minute of it! Admit it, you also kept hitting the rewind on this video just to see ALL of the antics on stage!
I did! And I think I could watch it ten times more and keep spotting more chaos! 😁
4:30. Dancer at the back. Tutu hanging off. (I have a sneaking suspicion that it wasn’t part of the act. It’s fitting, though!)
It was actually!! I worked with the costume designer to add Velcro to the skirt.
@@laurenwisdom1 Bravo! I cannot think of anything else that could’ve gone wrong. I do believe you thought of everything. 👏😁
@@MaggieTheCat01 How about an anvil falling out of nowhere like in the roadrunner cartoons!?
This PERFECTLY reminds me of the Pablo Picasso quote “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist” 😂 You can tell everyone is a fantastic dancer, and ballet is extremely demanding and painful to master, it’s so awesome to see these dancers injecting some silliness into what is sometimes such a rigid yet beautiful art form :) They put a lot of work into this to make it look random lol
The soloist in the background having a meltdown 😂
4:13 that was iconic
Very cute!
This is so chaotic 😭 I love ittt!!!
This one is actually funny. A group of girls did this once at my studio and they just looked like little kids and it wasn't funny or anything.
Yeah when students do it, they just look like they’re making mistakes.
@@Esther_Grace the advanced pointe class at my studio did the mistake waltz and did it right and the audience loved it lol. so some students definitely can pull it off
@@lielynngrace2573 Yes an advanced class could pull it off I’m sure! It’s one of those things...you have to be really good to be bad on purpose, ha!
@@Esther_Grace exactly
It's probably being able to manage their facial expressions as well
this is what the first rehersal for any big production is like. you know, when the director says "we'll do it straight through..."
I get a lump in my throat just reading that and I'm not even in a company 😭🤧
Hahahaha YES!!!
The incredible choreography in this performance cannot be underestimated. You have to be brilliant to dance like you really don't know how to. It's amazing they were able to do this with no real injuries!! Amazing and hysterical!!
Absolutely love this, Having been a ballet dancer, I think this is a stunning artistical parody of the genre.
lol 5:10 the one girl still trying to do the choreo and they took her down
lol! I’ve watched this a dozen times and missed that.
The goody two shoes taken down by the mischief makers! 😆
That's the girl who tried to upstage the prima getting knocked down by her 🤣
@@Ru136different girl. Upstaging girl was still fighting with prima.
@@MrsWheezer No it is the upstaging girl, you can tell by her body shape and the way she reacts to being knocked over by the prima
This is a masterpiece 😂 the pink leg warmer to the flying pointe to the EVERYTHING. Perfect 😂
What a wonderfully choreographed disaster lmao
Awake at 1am, with too much on my mind, after another mental health breakdown, I came across this by chance. I love ballet. I can't hear anything at all as I'm completely deaf but I still love to watch it. Thank you for making me laugh for the first time in about 6 weeks. The past few weeks have been so hard. Thank you so much. It was brilliant. I absolutely loved it and shared it on my Facebook page. To choreograph this and have dancers falling etc against their natural inclination, must have been one of the hardest things to do! This should go into a competition and call it "Ambitions Lost"!!!
I hope your days have been getting brighter since, with more laughter! It truly is the best medicine. You are not alone, there is a lot of depression going on, myself included. It helps a lot to watch funny things. I like watching funny bird videos because I have birds. Animals help a lot when you feel down. I hope you have a very happy holiday and a fabulous new year
I wish you plenty of laughs, smiles and happiness for 2023! I also suffer from mental illness, I know how painfull it is. And this crazy ballet is the best laughing therapy I had since a long time!!! ( meaby since the stupid video of the Asian girl being slapped by her cat^^). Take care and I hope you are fne🤗🌈
Oh this fills my heart. I'm so happy this brought you joy. Your words are the greatest gift to a choreographer. The goal is to bring joy and love to others, I'm glad this gave you some peace amidst the turmoil. Sending you love and light for 2023!
God bless you!
Can’t decide what I love more the dancer who went the whole Uber with one shoe or the one dancing half of it with her phone in her bodice. Love love! Every ballet dancers love
It’s so funny how two of the girls wanted to be in the spotlight
It's so funny how you just described the plot of the performance. Almost like we watched the same video.
One of them I presume was supposed to be the lead and the other wasn’t based purely on costume
I love how the rest are still dancing and not even laughing
This was a lot of fun. I started writing a backstory for the event in my head while I was watching it. (Head cannon backstory: It started because the short ballerina was jealous of the soloist and thought that she should have gotten the role, so she decided to start dancing it.)
When the teacher go out of the class for a minute😂😂
The magnificent, elegant and athletic prowess of ballet dancers makes PERFECT material for comedy. Truly wonderful.
It's 04:45 on Christmas morning 2023, and I can't think of a better way to start my day!! This was delightful!! Thank you!! ❤
planned out chaos is always hilarious
They got it down to their EXPRESSIONS in the first zoom in you can see the ballerina wince, amazing details!!!!!
I lost it when the girl fell off the stage
😮 🥓!!!!
It is at around 4:53
Me trying to sleep My little siblings : 4:56
That’s like us during recital. But unintentionally.
Hilarious! Can’t help but wonder if the choreographer used everything he/she ever saw go wrong in ballet. 😂
You hit the nail on the head! I've experienced just about it all between being a professional dancer and dance teacher. The surprises never stop coming!
Am I the only one that noticed that one of them only had one point shoe on.
One of my dancers injured and not allowed to dance on pointe, so I figured I’d just make it a part of the choreography!
@@laurenwisdom1 That's so cool and innovative!! Well done!
LOL!! She took it off and threw it off stage!
@@kimdkus is that what that was i saw something fly.
@@laurenwisdom1 this is soo wholesome! Thanks for not excluding her! I hope she's doing better now.
I love when dance does not take itself too seriously...such fun. And BTW the dancers NEED good technique to pull off the humorous part. Bravo.
there's so many things going on that every time i watch it i find something new😂
1:22 THAT SHOE WENT YEET
5:56 She nailed that worm
I'm sorry but the one that just straight up yeeted her shoe across the stage just- sjsjsjsjshshsjsjdhsj
Couldn’t keep a smile off my face that was so fun to watch!
I love Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld". Particularly the Can-can part. Now, when I hear this piece I would rwmember two things, first the scene with Robert DeNiro in "Stardust" and this Great choreography. Kudos to everyone involved.
Ahh yes, just like the 9 to 9 theater rehearsals...
I could not stop laughing it’s nice to see them letting their hair down and just having a jolly good old time of it😹😹😹
Carnage! I loved it! 😁 Added to Favourites. I’ve watched it twice and keep spotting more hilarity. Further scrutiny is required.
THIS IS GENIUS! I can't believe even the teachers got to go on stage. Totally made my week.
A comedic masterpiece! Thoroughly enjoyable! Congrats to all these dancers and choreographers!
This was absoutley amazing !! I love it!
Thank you Mia! It was a blast to make!
What a masterfully well choreographed and performed piece of modern ballet. I loved every second of it. You could really feel how the chaos was evolving on stage. This must be so difficult to choreograph, but it was worth it.
Love to see humour in such a serious Art form!
Omg I lost it at the girl doing the worm center stage 😂
1:24 imagine doing the entire dance with only one pointe shoe on
Looking through the comments is absolutely HILARIOUS to me, because there's so many things that others spotted that I missed on my first go-around. Honestly at this point I could read a comment that says something along the lines of '...and then when that one girl did a backflip to dodge the fighting prima donnas-' and I'd stinkin believe it. I love this so, so much.
I feel like I'm going to need to make a list of every comical thing that happened with timestamps.
So technically there was one girl who did an aerial at the end of the ballet 😂
OMG, I was HOWLING! I don't know if the one dancers skirt coming halfway off was planned but it was BRILLIANT. Believe it or not, while it takes talent to do a ballet flawlessly, to intentionally screw it up and make it look believable takes pur genius! Well done!
The skirt was intentional, the choreographer said so in someone else's replies
@@Ru136 Brilliant! I revisit this video when I need a good chuckle! Well done!
The selfie stick ... 🤣🤣🤣 The guy who wandered on ... 🤣🤣🤣
The one dance you can actually get away with making tons of mistakes lol
True cause you never know which one is suppose to be right and wrong
Yes, in terms of the performance, but I think you have to be very careful doing those kinds of stunts to avoid serious injury. A joy to watch :)
Ballet is always so dang serious, this was wonderful!
C'est absolument génial... d'autant plus qu'elles sont d'excellentes danseuses. Bravo !!!
I rewatched this so many times to see everything!!!
I was in tears by the end! Brilliant- just fecking brilliant!!! Bravo! Can't wait to see what Lauren Gonzalez has in store next!!!!
Hahaha! Thank you!So happy it had you in tears!
One of the most enjoyable videos of dancing gone bad I have seen…the leg warmer, the swinging shoes and I laughed so hard I woke my daughter up on the other side of the apartment (she was NOT pleased LOL). Thank you so much for sharing this and the joy it gave to watch!!
Comedy only works when it’s done well. This was hilarious.
A beautiful, chaotic performance! I loved every minute of it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing! All the different moves of the show and the one that threw her shoe and keep dancing was terrific! It was very well Choreographed to include all the different personalities of people today in the show.
This is the most amazingly chaotic ballet that i have watched. I loved it so so much!
I love this so much!!!! Fantastic choreography and performance!!! Shout out to the girl who did most of the dance in only one pointe shoe btw! That is incredibly hard to do, and she nailed it!!
I tracked her through the performance and she runs offstage at 2:19 and comes back on at 2:33 with no shoes on for the rest of the performance. Amazing
This was very enjoyable to watch. You always think of ballerina to be graceful and they were even while falling down and “fighting” over who is leader. Haha very funny
As an ardent lover of ballet, I adore these types of dances. The dancers look like they are having so much fun and it's equally fun to watch. This has to be one of the best ones I've seen!
i kept rewinding to catch every single bit of chaos, amazing job!! goddamn hilarious honestly, i want to rewatch again and again
Haha! I’m so happy it made you laugh!🥰
I absolutely love this, glad this showed up in my recommendations
OMG! I just came across this after I got home from seeing a lovely Giselle at the theater. This is totally hilarious. The girl pulling out her phone and start texting did me in. I literally fell out of my chair laughing. The whole thing deserves to be watched over and over again. Well done!
Why not check out the Ballets Trockaderos - who do the same thing (before these did) and are ALL MALE.
Отлично пошутили! Повеселили народ, и все таки были балетными и грациозными их движения, и поэтому смотреть было мило. Спасибо. От души по хохотала.
What a beautiful masterpiece 😍😂😂😬 there was so much going on all the time I didn’t know where to look.
Choreographer = genius Why do traditional, boring pieces when you can do something that people will remember and talk about for years to come! Bravo 🙌
The Ballets Trockaderos de Monte Carlo have being doing the dame thing for 50 years and they are ALL MALE. Check them out.
Chaotic comedy ballet is what I didn't know I needed until I saw this
How Delightful!!! Creating "comedic" ballet is not easy! This is hilarious! So well thought out and performed! BRAVO!!!
This Is the most entertaining ballet i've aver seen 🤣🩰🔝🎉
This is amazing!!! Had to stop & rewatch each section every 10-15 seconds because there is SO MUCH going on. LOVE IT! 😆😂🤣 I bet this was a blast to perform. Well done choreographers, support team, and every single dancer. Bravo! Thanks for sharing this moment of fun & levity with the world. ☺
Whenever I need a giggle, I come here. 😂🤣
So refreshing! A lot of humour in this very classical field ❤️
Please pass on my congratulations to your dancers. They were exquisitely delightful wonderfully good at being bad.
Spectacular!!! As much in the creativity as in the fact no one was injured! New chaos to behold with every viewing
the was probably so fun to perform.
The girl that picked up the other girl is an absolute queeeeeeennn Props to them 🤩🤩❤️
The way the girl just threw her pointe shoe off the stage was so hilarious, l loved this video, thank you a,
I can’t imagine how many hours/days/weeks/months, were spent practicing this. But the end result was, ‘magnifique.’
The girl taking selfies was soo me
