      ​ @fyeelessarndra3392 Tchai thought it was "bad ballet", that the story would "fool" people into thinking it was good where he believed it to be "fake" and "boring", and firmly opined that it was less complex than it pretended to be. Also, his sister died during the composition and he hated it on a very deep personal level after that; understandably so.

I am not a ballerina, but I grew up with classical music and watched all the main ballets dozens of times when I was a kid. They are supposed to dance like one, not be all over the place. But I am giving it a thumb up for the beautiful music by the eternal Tchaikovsky. He was a basket case but look at the gifts he left behind.

      It’s really only noticeable to dancers. I love it! Balanchine dancers move faster, they hold their hands differently, what some call a claw, and he emphasized the lines your body makes and what audiences see. For instance if I’m posed with my right foot forward my neck should be turned slightly so that my left cheek is front and center to the audience. I guess a easier explanation in 1 word is Extra! Everything is emphasized. I think it beautiful.

    EX T R A O R D I N A R Y!!!!!!!! My dream was to be a ballerina, but unfortunately, I never even took a ballet class, but without frustration, I watch these performances full of joy and with a huge appreciation for these dancers and for these magnificent songs! Congratulations! Thanks!
    EX T R A O R D I N Á R I O!!!!!!!! Meu sonho era ser Bailarina, mas, infelizmente, nunca tive, sequer, uma aula de Balé, mas, sem frustrações, assisto a essas apresentações cheia de alegria e com um apreço enorme por essas bailarinas e por essas músicas magníficas! Parabéns! Obrigada!

    it's sad to see ballet slowly dying when amazing things like these could be existing everywhere.

      People wany quick effort free reward is the problem (i say this as a classical musician). It takes years to reach a passable level and people seems not to want to put in the effort.

      Just means only the truly dedicated will sign up for classes.
