    "What can happen is, someone can stubbornly be right...but then everyone else looks off. We have to work as a team."
    This is so true for so many types of performance.

    Man, I hope that pianist is being paid big bucks, because that is not the sort of music that one casually plays. He's probably physically "done for the day" after that rehearsal.

    My eyes are drawn to Yuhui Choe as well. She is just really good and the other thing is she looks healthy. Koreans are normally very petite, so Yuhui doesn't look as worn out as the other dancers. I would love to see her become a principle dancer. :-)

    ogga That woman is not only a principle dancer, but she has worked with the choreographer many times before. Someone in her position is expected to take a leadership role in this situation.
    It can be too much if, eveyone starts asking questions at once, so she asks the questions that many of the other dancers probably need answered. Something like that can be invaluable to the choreographer and the other dancers.

    ... YOUR LANGUAGE , CHRISTOPHER , is A VERY PERFECT ONE ... NOT ONLY RESTRICTED THIS VERY ' BALLET REHEARSAL ' .... IT EMBRACES ALL ARTS . AND INDICATES THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE ... IN GOING TO ALL FIELDS OF ACTIVITIES IN OUR LIVES ... AND STUDIES ... PHILOSOPHY , SOCIOLOGY , POLITICS , BEHAVIORS , WAY OF WORKING ... WELL , ALL ACTIVITIES OF OUR DAY BY DAY LIFE .
    3:14 _ 3:20 , 3:28 , 3:30 _ 3:32 ... AND MORE . THE 3:15 is GREAT .
    AND , I QUOTE YOU BELOW :
    " THE MUSIC is CALLED DESORDER AND YOU ... ARE THE ORDER .
    SO , IN ORDER TO SEE THE ORDER , THE LINES HAVE TO BE VERY CLEAR "
    " WHAT WE HEAR is DESORDER BUT WHAT WE ACUALLY SEE is ORDER "

    I’m amazed that Leanne Benjamin is still dancing so strongly and so vigorously. She’s been around a very long time. She made a wonderful Bluebird in the 1990s video recording of the the Royal Ballet’s “Sleeping Beauty”, starring Viviana Durante and Zoltan Solymosi and Benazir Hussein, all of whom are gone now, from the RB.

    this might sound like a stupid question, but why don't they play the pieces on a computer, instead of paying musicians to be there for every rehearsal?

    • @camgaa
      @camgaa Před 5 lety +3

      Nat U idk for sure but I’m assuming it’s probably so it’s easier to start and stop when needed, and begin from random places

    • @rollitonhome
      @rollitonhome Před 5 lety

      The youtuber but they can do that with a laptop, and it'd be easier to mark the exact second each step is performed. Plus, it'd be more convenient because it's a recorded piece and it's always the same tempo and speed, sometimes the pianists go slower or faster by accident. And you can have the music person next to the choreographer so they don't have to yell across the room to tell them to stop playing...

    • @camgaa
      @camgaa Před 5 lety

      Nat U fair point, idk then, I mean personally I think it’s easier to “feel the music” when it’s live, and it also might be more traditional? Like I said, I don’t really know, I’m just throwing out guesses

      robinleems it is literally two syllables “yoo-hee”. People really need to get over making Asian names harder than it really is. If they respected her, they would actually try to pronounce her name correctly. I know from having a “unique” name, being made fun of for my name, never being pronounced correctly, and it really is degrading and hurtful and plain disrespectful for people to not even try. My name is a part of my identity, my culture, and so much more. Please try to say it right.
