This is so *American* -- Ms. Jaffe and the dancers, the atmosphere, the combinations, the whole thing.
Yeah it makes so special and so different from other companies. Loved this atmosphere too ❤
Oui TRÈS americain en effet !
You forgot to mention the tights over leotards. Just can't be classy for ballet.
Is this good or bad? 🤔
thats what happenes when youre in america....
Susan Jaffe is a gifted teacher. The atmosphere she creates in class is one of strong discipline yet joyful playfulness. Her calm energy provides a catalyst for the technique and creativity of the dancers to manifest. She is a joy to watch.
Suck up much?
Not a very useful class, really.
35:03 the doooog 😍😍😍
Love the atmosphere of the class, she really seems to know her dancers. Their appreciation for each other and their team spirit is amazing :)
well behaved little ballet doggy !
I can see the American innate freedom in here. Which makes this company so good so special. Loved every second of the class ❤❤❤
good to see isabella boylson and skylar brandt in the class.
And James!
But my question, where is Gillian Murphy. she’s still a principal
And Cassandra trenery. But where’s Misty? Did she retire?
@doctortcbkk2027 no, Misty hasn't retired. She had a baby and then an injury
Oh you beautiful people. I love company class because everyone is on equal footing. I loved when you all burst into song when the pianist played Tomorrow, it was awesome and not something I ever experienced in company class. So good to see faces I recognize and those who are new. Susan Jaffe gives such a fun class. Thank you for sharing this company class, everyone is gorgeous ❤
No joke, that was a hard class for a Friday! The trajectory of ABT is exponential at this point in my opinion. Not a lot of media vitriol, just consistency and progress. Ms Jaffe was my idol, I think we are around the same age. To see her coaching a friend's son is wonderful. ABT will always be my favorite ballet company.
I agree! She was my idol too and similar generation :)
When you say it was a hard class it is because the dancers have honed their technique from rigorous training they have most of their skill but she is turning the average car into a Ferrari.
She expects that everyone has done this due diligence and she puts them through their paces.
A challenging class ,I would be truly knackered after that but it would have been so much fun.
Note the kind and helpful corrections she gives .dancers suffer a lot of abuse from some and it really takes the joy out of the thing we love.
I can hardly believe I did ballet as a job and even got paid for it!
@@user-st7nu3ij3v yes I am aware. I too was blessed to have had a professional ballet career.
This company class is so different to watch than the Royal Ballet one! I'm from the uk and always watch the Royal Ballet live stream on world ballet day. The way the dancers, dress, move, take class feels so different here watching ABT. Also ABT like looking at themselves in the mirror wayyyyyyyyy more I've noticed haha. But great class.
I'm also from the UK and in comparison with the Royal Ballet these ABT dancers are far more advanced technically.
what would you say is the biggest difference? I can't quite pinpoint it but I also watch and love the royal ballet class all the time
I think it's the positioning, especially the 5th position from which every exercise/movement starts and finishes. The ABT also seems more polished. The emphasis with the Royal Ballet seems to be a lot more on the 'acting' side rather than the pure ballet which I so love. And as long as they perform choreographies by MacMillan and Ashton (which I loathe, and are so out of date) this will not change. In this video, the girl in the red leotard is absolutely amazing, she does 4 attitude derriere turns, very difficult, and also 6 almost 7 pirouettes, very very nice! And I love Susan Jaffe, her classes are brilliant, and with a sense of humour!
But slopplier
So wonderful when you can see Company members have a moment to be silly and sing along with the pianist! Loved every minute of this whole class.
Hi, what’s name this song they sang together?❤❤❤
Chloe snatches up all of my attention! She’s intoxicating
is Chloe the one in pink and lavender near the piano?
Love the relaxed and fun atmosphere without losing the seriousness of the discipline. And this, make ppl want to watch ballet. 🙂❤️👍
I met Susan once at Tower Records circa 2000. She'd called in for a CD that she wanted held for her. She was praising her former NYCB friend while i was gushing over her (Susan). Very humble and funny and kind. I know it had nothing to do with dance but a small interaction sometimes really tells u how a person operates.
Light purple leotard dark hair girl HAS GOT MY ATTENTION, she’s talented
Yesss I thought I was the only oneee
her names chloe misseldine shes a soloist. her mom was a pro ballet dancer as well!!
Loved watching this class...I flew from London to NYC in 1980 for an audition for ABT...soooo wanted to work with the company....saw Jaffe on stage so many times...dynamic dancer...loved watching this class...thank you
Stunning class! Thank you.
Terrific 💜 Jaffa will bring ballet into the future
This class is lovely!!! Thank you for sharing!
Elizabeth is incredible! How does she turn so much ❤
Thank you for sharing this ! 🌎 A Happy World Ballet day to All ! Let art bring Peace Love and Joy to this world ♥️🕊🎶💪
Emotive piano....loving it!!!
I loved watching this so much! Thank you!
Pianist just incredible! I am saying that as ballet accompanist.
Tomorrow, tomorrow!!! Love it!!
AMAZING
Thank you so much for sharing! Wonderful seeing Susan Jaffe at the helm, and the dancers look gorgeous.
The first ballet I ever saw in person was Swan Lake, and dancing the role of Odette/Odile that night was Susan. ABT was on summer tour and they came to Chicago. I was instantly in love with ballet, and forever transformed by one of the greatest American ballerinas. Truly a once in a lifetime experience! 🩰💓🩰
I also saw a young Ms. Jaffe dance the parts of Odette and Odile at the Auditorium in Chicago. Barishnikov was the artistic director at the time and trying to bring up and develop his younger dancers such as Jaffe. She was paired with the great Alexander Godunov in Swan Lake and it was an evening I will never forget. Jaffe held her own all night with Godunov and was immaculate except for one occasion when doing a partner pirouette with him when she accidentally extended her right hand too far and cracked him right across his face. The veteran Godunov shook off the contact and carried on. But a star was born that night and her name was Susan Jaffe. Good luck to her as the ABT's latest artistic director.
@@brucerehberger9080 What a small world!! We saw the McKenzie Swan Lake in ‘94. Right after he took over as director. I wish I could have seen the Baryshnikov version of swan lake. I don’t think I’ve seen his version before. I can still remember asking my mom why the dancers were so squeaky. I never saw a company on stage before. And I definitely didn’t know what rosin was, I was only 9. I studied at Ballet Chicago and The Joffrey and now I’m a teacher.
ABT is in great hands!! Ballet companies are 80% female so it’s really awesome to see my heroes as the current company directors!! Happy Holidays 🎄🎄🎄
That’s a wrap and end thanks for sharing your smiles ABT we ❤❤❤❤❤ you all so much thanks Skylar, the “Cindies” everyone and the piano man wot wot 🎉
This gave me so much joy to watch. thank you!!
Jake Roxander stands out, what a star. So on his leg all the time, so musical and polished in his movements. Also Mikey Delanuez and Chloe Misseldine stand out!
photos please
@moonhunter9993 At approx 52:27, Jake Roxander is the one towards the back wearing a plaid shirt over a maroon unitard, doing a zillion pirouettes. Mikey is the taller one in the front all the way on the left side of the screen in black loose t-shirt and tights in the same clip.
@@moonhunter9993at 41:15, Chloe Misseldine is the tall elegant half-Asian dancer to the left side of the screen in the front row, wearing light blue leotard with a light pink warmup shorts/romper over it, with pink tights and pointe shoes on.
She is so beautiful
Can you pleaseeeeee do this again???? This was so much fun to watch and super informative as an adult beginner!!
Thank you so much ex ballerina here such a joy to watch. Susan your fantastic❤love you all great work
Magnificent company. ❤❤❤❤ and superb class from Susan Jaffe
I love watching the gal in the mustard-colored leotard…..beautiful dancer.
OMG, yes! Her lines are absolute perfection. Does anyone know her name?
I was drawn to her, too! I also liked the petite blond in the red leotard. Anyone know her name?
@@chalkedlines8960sierra armstrong
After a bit of searching, Sierra Armstrong is in the mustard leotard and Elizabeth Beyer is in the red.
Such great pleasure. Such dancing. Miss J. Such honor. DTH artist at work. Such amazing privilege.
I am absolutely wowed by the dancer (male) in purple unitard. Wow!!!
I noticed him, too. His energy and style are bigger than his stature, right?
@@dottiedavis355 Yes, but then I also realized the girl dancing near him at the end is phenomenal as well. Guess that purple unitard caught my attention first haha.
Exceptionally nice atmosphere!
The center exercises are wonderful and the adagio was gorgeously done by the dancers. Such a fun atmosphere too, it reminds me of the community I had in American figure (ice) skating rinks as well. Carlos Gonzalez (42:18 in the blue shorts) has a wonderful ecarte develope. His grace is fantastic, even with his good allegro he can also do a great adagio. I also loved seeing Isabella Boylston and Skylar Brandt in class. A fantastic pianist as well!
Elizabeth Beyer’s turns omg🤩
76 and counting with one year behind me in a simple ballet studio in my neighborhood and I love coming home and watching you all do your class you do it with such grace and beauty I struggle with every muscle of my body, but I’m there to gain flexibility and mobility, and I hope to stand up one of these days and do it with you all. Ha ha ha ha but it’s great to watch and I love the live music. The pianist is amazing. Thanks for posting this I wish you posted more.
Thank you
I love watching Kotomi Yamada dance
Me too. ❤
Susan Jaffe: amé todo Göttschalk, coreografías e interpretaciones bellísimas. También Airs, entre otras. Gran admiración por su trabajo. Todos los integrantes de este ballet dejaron huellas imborrables en mi corazón. Gracias!
I saw her rendition of Swan Lake with Pittsburgh Ballet Theater, it was absolutely beautiful. She truly has an amazing gift.
oh, thank you, so much.
i strolled around sand grounds in han river park, today. it was a fine weather.
so good to see many artists practicing.
Really inspired, so delicate thanks, greetings from Dominican Republic
Can’t wait to see you guys out in SoCal for Nutcracker.
Liked the energy in the room.
More classes. Please!!!
35:01 Did someone just bring their dog to work? 😂🐶💕
Turns at the end we’re astounding! Could pick out one of my favorite studio company dancers who must have been promoted!

Loved that❤
This is just perfect. ❤
Elisabeth Beyer stands out so much -,with sh they’d stop burying her on the corps

Good dancers the girl with the blue top and white tights has that jeune c'est quei .
It amazes me that the directions given are fast and we pick them up immediately
Bravo! freedom and control equal beauty.
Thank you so much for the wonderful sharing! Really touched by the atmosphere in the class. Anyone has an idea about the music the class were singing around 30 mins processes.
“Tomorrow” from Annie
❤❤❤❤
La chica rubia de malla roja😍💕 sus fouettes son impecables👏👏👏
The dog ❤❤❤
I did not love Susan Jaffe as a dancer but she is a wonderful teacher. I could not take my eyes away from Elisabeth Bayer. Those turns!!! But everything is a wow.
i really bet Jake Roxander will be a principal very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so honored to watch his performance on my first abt show
Who is the girl in the yellow leotards (40:40)? So sophisticated, so "Vaganova", so different, so breathtaking,....!!!!!
Sierra Armstrong.
The girl in black and blue mesh is a bomb
The ballet dog is iconic
everybody looked so pooped out in this class lol. I saw Isabella do maybe 2 center combos. must be a very hard time of year
I'm going to make a comment... You know ballet is a universal language in all countries...
And it's very hard to keep up with some of the ballots from other countries...
But you Madame... have been very successful ❤ I am a new follower
Good to see Susan Jaffe!! Famous ballerina, she is! Incredible career! They better turn! With them fautés and a la second turns! Go Company! Where’s Misty??!! Lol Hey James! Really great barre and class! And the pianist! Gorgeous! Loved it! 😍🔥👍🏾
I was looking for Misty too😢
I think she might still be on maternity leave.
Dance like a Pirate Day at ABT
Wonderful, ABT! Who is the beauty in the yellow leotard???
Never mind! It's Sierra Armstrong!
anyone else notice Isabella Boylston? I love her TikTok
Was that Hannah Marshall standing at the same barre as Skyler, wearing a white t-shirt that said MERDE on the front? I can't find her on social media anywhere. She was a star student at BAE but seems to have vanished into corp de ballet unknown once joining ABT.
I love the blue cut out leo that two of the dancers are wearing, does anyone know where it's from?
I think its from Bodile
41:56 Waw, who’s this beautiful dancer?
The same music that center state 😅. So beautiful
Who's the beautiful dancer standing behind James Whiteside at the barre in the light pink warmup and light blue leotard? Beautiful dancer.
Chloe misseldine
Anyone knows what is the piece that the pianist played for the adage in the centre? Or is it his own composition? Beautiful
@@dmitrypolischuk5091 thanks so much for the reply! From the person himself no less! Oh my… magnificent accompaniment! Maybe just abit of.. ‘getting my point across’ with the ‘extra’ accent on the beat 😊
@@dmitrypolischuk5091 I loved when you started playing 'Tomorrow'. I started singing and next thing I knew, the company was singing. Such fun 💙 I wondered, do you ever get tired playing during a class? And or, have you ever developed an injury/strain as a result?
Good dancers the girl with the blue top and white tights has that jeune c'est quei .
It amazes me that the directions given are fast and we pick them up immediately .also when you leave do not walk off like your on the street ,exit like a prince.
37:40 does anyone know who the girl with the green shorts are?? she is very talented ❤️❤️❤️
Who is the last dancer doing fouettes? (Female, asian, light green leo). Gorgeous fouettes!
Who is the male dancer in the red headband?!?!?
What age do you have to be to get in?
The plies are the music from center stage… what is that piece called?
so for barre are the dancers allowed to just do whatever they want? and not follow the combination?
Where’s Aaron Bell?
jesus christ, luigi crispino's demi-pointe is so high, it gave me contact. lol. amazing.
no misty copeland in the class this morning
Misty went on maternity leave quite a while ago and hasn't come back. I'm not sure whether she's planning to.
@@jessaglenny She's been gone nearly 2 years, no? I think she had an injury before or after her pregnancy leave. I could be wrong but I've noticed she hasn't been there in a *long* time.
@@roxiehart1 She's 41 now, so there has to be a question about whether she's coming back. I haven't seen anything about returning in her social media.
51:09
The Asian girl in tan leotard and white tights stands out!
Wow! So who’s the guy in the black T-shirt, tight light blue shorts, and super high, six o’clock penchée?
Does anybody know what shoes the ballet master wears? They are pretty and look so comfy
I think they may be dansko clogs, or something similar, which are especially popular with nurses bc they're very supportive
They're Dansko clogs, called Sanita in Europe. I'm incredulous that she can teach in them - though new pointe shoes do feel a bit like that!
@@daisybeam3357 thank you for the info! I’m so interested in them
@@daisybeam3357 they look quite cute! Thank you for the info!!
Dansko clogs require learning how to walk in them. You have to kind of “scuff” your feet. Otherwise, you’d end up with super tired legs really quickly. Super comfy.
