- On tour in Japan in 2003, Nicolas Nguyen's interpretation of this famous baroc dance solo, closes the performance of the Ana Yepes Company.
Les Danses du Roi (King's dances): baroc dance concert featuring choreography from the court of King Louis the 14th.
Company Ana Yepes dancers: Ana Yepes, Begona del Valle, George Kergal, Nicolas Enguyen.
Music: Entrée d'Apollon by Jean-Babtiste Lully performed by the Richard Boothby Ensemble - Zábava
Enfin une version en costumes d'époque au lieu de blue jeans troués, strings ou costards cravates!
Well, now I have proof of what I have read about the young Louis XIV. He was a superb dancer and so is Nichola Nguyen. Bravo for the king and bravo for this dancer!
Stunning. As a professional dancer who trained in advanced ballet, this choreo isn't easy at all. Fantastic job, the control he had is next level
Yes it's a very difficult ballet, so much that a professional ballet dancer has to retrain his movements in order to dance this properly. It's the ancester of "modern ballet" as we know it. I've seen a whole vidéo talking about it in detail. Pro have to train months, before getting it right.
Master Nguyen makes all the other performers of this number on CZcams look amateurish. An absolute GEM of a film. Thank you so much for sharing!
Absolutely gorgeous, and incredibly elegant! I’m glad that somebody, at some time, decided to research French baroque dance and to put together training and performance practice so that we can catch many glimpses of the origins of ballet. The footwork of this dancer is so beautiful, and his costume very evocative.
This footage is beyond description ， and full of admiration , acclaim and deep emotion
I'm just intoxicated with this specutacular footage in Japan
From
Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
probablement une parfaite reconstitution du ballet tel qu'il était dansé en France au XVIII ème siècle. Grandeur, majesté, et grâce.
Siglo XVI
Quelle grâce! Quelle beauté! Puissance, lumière et majesté
In Lully, the unique combination of stylized powerfull "masculinity" with "effeminate" elegance always strucks me. Bravo!
I thought I was the only one watching this beautiful video recently.
Certainly not. I've looked at it several times : - ) There are more good Lully stage video's. Atys (Christie) e.g.
Or Gilles Poirier czcams.com/video/lJVDgSaEiyg/video.html But Nguyen's version is my favorite. Thanks for answering back!
Indeed! I didn't know this one. Thanks. I understand this performance is (was) available on CD: catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/5526075
Exactly!
Спасибо за видео!
Сохранила в закладки свои, смотрю снова и снова.
Легко, грациозно, без малейшего видимого напряжения. И музыка чудесная. Браво!
Every movement utter perfection.
Imagine dancing this in the palace of Versailles! Amazing!
C'est de loin la meilleure interprétation que j'aie vue jusqu'ici, pleine de grâce et de sensibilité, sans afféterie. L'enchaînement des pas est fluide, les sauts amples et souples, le port majestueux, les gestes élégants, c'est un enchantement. Il y a une telle harmonie entre la musique et la danse qu'on en a les larmes aux yeux et qu'on voudrait que cela ne s'arrête jamais. C'est du grand art !
Oui la meilleure
It's very interesting to see the serious athleticness of today's ballet in conjunction with this old form. I agree - I haven't seen that much L XIV ballet, but this is superlative.
Ciertamente, fantástico
when I want to travel back in time and watch the King dance I come here!
Beautiful footwork by Nicolas Enguyen. Thanks for posting.
Utterly beautiful.
Bravissimo : unisce la grazia all'eleganza , con la leggerezza di Apollo Musagete. Bellissimo
Oui c'est une merveille je ne peux m'en lasser
I love it. very elegant. It gives a good insight of that period. It is unbelievable that the king danced ballet - fascinating and inspirational!
dblueroom well in those days you became king because you were meant to become one from birth, but I think many of them would have rather done something else...take Marie Antoinette for example, what she really cared about was the theatre while her husband love to be a blacksmith in his free time. Perhaps if only they followed their heart instead of the role imposed to them they wouldn't have caused so much trouble!
@LaCarusiella That's not it. Actually the King dancing and being the center of a ballet was highly policital. It was done to impress the nobility and Louis XIV wanted to control the French culture under all its forms. This process is logical for a king who wanted to affirm its absolute power in the kingdom. It was not just a "hobby" for him.
So beautiful and elegant!! Damn, judging by this Louis XIV must've been a pretty good dancer! o_O
Very much so. amazing! I enjoy watching Versailles (to some extent), but no recognition of this on the series. The King (le Roi) was a talented danseur. guess they could not include everything. I think the series, as entertaining as it is, is dummied down.

Wonderful! So elegant and measured and a brilliant exponent of this type of dance. A joy to watch.
Lully incomparable..
such class and elegance!
So much elegance!
Parte de la grandeza de Luis XIV se debe a la fantástica imaginación y maestría del mundo estético de Lully. Vive la France, vive le Roi!!!!
Pensar que tal puesta en escena era un ejercicio de poder absoluto.
Thank you this great upload. like watching Louis himself, merci beaucoup!
You're very welcome! The original manuscripts described very precise steps; the arm movements were 'improvised' according to certain codes of use of that period. Perhaps it would be instructive to post a video explaining the use of the original diagrams. They are fascinating!
I know that I am coming to this rather late, and it is unlikely that you would or ever will respond to this, though do you know where I could find instructions for the foot movements of this dance written in words? The original notation is - even with the help of an instructional guide - rather hard to swiftly understand.
That's just plain amazing.
¡Qué belleza, por Dios...!
¡Qué perfección y gracia en los movimientos...!
¡Y la música...!
👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹
ART in Every FRAME !
Magistral !!
Oui émouvante musique du temps ou France voulais dire "FRANCE"
Que de splendeur, de charme, d'extrême beauté...
Vive le Roy
+andré rasemont Je suis entièrement d'accord avec vous.... ou est notre FRANCE ....
+Violaine Dechappe De ce bon temps où notre peuple crevait la fin. Voilà bien une nostalgie de sycophante. La pompe aveugle les expédients du pouvoir.
Le jour où vous aurez arrêté de fantasmer, la France d'aujourd'hui vous attend !

parce qu'aujourd'hui vous croyez que c'est mieux ! on ne crève pas de faim en France (ou presque) mais il y a d'autres choses tout aussi effroyables et sournoises surtout ! J'ai peur pour l'avenir en France pour nos générations futures, et je dirais même pour le monde sur des sujets encore plus graves ! Oui j'ai peur de ce que l'on fait subir à la France ! Honte aux gens qui l'a gouverne !
Oui!
This is perfection

I believe the dictionary cannot find the best words to describe what do I mean when all my being screams "Splendid!"
Apollo! Bravo!
Wonderful.
Magnifique!
Un hommage incomparable à ce Grand Dieu !

battement frappé during turns.. wow..
My loves time, my loves King
If this choreograhy was written for Louis XlV, he must have been good - very good!
magnifique à couper le souffle
Vive Lully, VIVE LE ROI !
plozikou Oui
Vive le baroque
even if this is not the most energetic type of dancing, I believe the king still worked up a sweat. Especially wearing so much clothes. People back hardly cleaned themselvs. Hihihi. Piou! But I do really like the majestic style it has.
prodigieux!!!!!!!!!
Super!!!
Simplement magnifique
Suprême élégance...
Fantástico!
Impressionnant
Magnifique, très beau! Merci bien!
Incroyable jai limpression de revivre la periode de Louis XIV

MDR?
Так вот он какой французский балет)
класс
Les hommes dansaient fort bien et avec grâce
a la cour ils n avaient que ça a faire.
Any body know how to find Nick Nguyen's current performance schedules? Is he still performing? I am impressed by his ability as a baroque dancer.
I understand that he is retired. He has, as they say, hung up his ballet shoes.
@@captebbtide thanks. I guess it makes sense because I can't find anything current online. What a sublime dancer. I don't understand why someone with such beautiful grace and artistic perfection is nowhere to be found, not even as an instructor. I'm blown away every time I watch this video. It taps into the depths of my soul. He reminds me of what it means to be an enlightened being full of grace. Thanks for your response.
Bravo
Vive la culture francaise!
Voilà qui n’est point sot, et ce monsieur se trémousse bien!
ooh he tearin up the floor
Deliciosamente sublime 🥰
I like the "pettycoat" breeches.
These baroque dance clips are awesome!! Thank you for sharing these. I have a question for you.....Do you know how detailed the original manuscripts were? Do the dancers have to "fill in" gaps or improvise much ??Again, thanks for sharing these.
quisiera saber si hay escritura de las variaciones del rey sol
his dance style is really masculne.
Soberbio , Lully !!
The dancer is Nicolas Enguyen, now a married man with children, having retired from the stage. Were you perhaps fooled by the wig?
que reflejos
How was the choreography from the court of King Louis XIV preserved? Were there multiple drawings sketching out the entire dance?
davehshs There was actually a notation system--referred to these days as Beauchamp-Feuillet. I'm not sure which one of them actually invented it.
Beth .Garfinkel Thanks. Fascinating. I looked up some images. Does the notation give the finer points of the movements, or is it just a rough guide?
Beauchamp was commissioned to invent it and did so.
The notation gives all the steps, the path of the dance, all of the footwork. Every turn, step, and jump is notated. It also shows which steps go to which measure of music, and what relative speed those steps should be taken. The corresponding music is found at the top of the notation.
There is definitely room for interpretation within the notation, and as more groups seek to reconstruct these dances, more schools of thought come about as to how exactly the steps should (or could) be done. We base these interpretations off of the instructions in the manuals, contemporary writings of how things were done, and drawings and paintings from the period.
The port de bras is absent from the notation, with the exception of where partners join and release hands in partner dances. Within the instruction manuals are guides, both written description and drawings, for how to pair the arms with the steps and carriage of the body in general. For a solo like this, there is lots of room for personal interpretation for the arms.
La bibliothèque musicale de Louis 14 n'étais pas au château de Versailles et ainsi les livrets des musiques et des danses ont échappé au feu durant la révolution. Miracle !
О, мой Версаль!
Instead of feeding his people the king wanted money on lavish entertainments, wars and built Versailles and taxed them to do it. Not a sun king at all, he sawed the seed of the demise of the Grench monatchy

Louis le grand dansa t'il tout cela ?
опять и снова
Is this a choreography made for Louis XVI? If so, he must have been terrific.
mette holm, Louis XIV, actually
Synth lant
CAPOLAVORO
Il Re Sole un degno adepto del balletto del Re!
On the whole too few ornaments, I think.
Je ne pense pas que vous pensiez.
Very good except for 2 things: 1) His torso tilts too much and too often and 2) He raises his arms too high. The upper arms should never come higher than horizontal--which holds true until somewhere around 1800.
Those are court rules. This is theater dance. You can put your hands as high as you want, even if you're Louis the 14th.
@@FerDeAlmeida No you can't, because the fashions of the time were deliberately cut so as not to allow it.
Le délire !!! Le roi Dagobert....

c'est culcul
