From ‘Arch’ to ‘Ouch Pouch’ and onward! Our ballet dancers demonstrate a pointe shoe-related point for every letter of the alphabet. 'S' has got to be our favourite! Production and Direction: The Apiary
stellerz lemonfield C is for crying in the bathroom because you grew out of your point shoes during winter break and during rehearsals when you had asked to change into your soft shoes because your pointe shoes were too small and she said “no, you can’t”
@Joni Crouch Here in the UK we have an odd mix of French and English. We'll have demi-plies and full-plies (rarely grand) but we do have grand battement. We have glissade over and under, presumably because people don't understand dessus and dessous. Lately I've heard people in class referring to preparatory position as B+; I've heard American dancers call this position zero. You're right, of course, it doesn't matter. Ballet is wonderful to watch and to do. One of the most difficult things for me was when I switched to Cecchetti from RAD. Cecchetti has different terms for the arms. Most teachers here are schooled in RAD. Personally, I prefer BBO, but there aren't many teachers about.
Its actually legal in our school to chew or eat bubble gums but if its already class, we have to take it out or else the teacher would literally punish us to split in the corner.
@@lafayette4160 irish dance and ballet or both so hard I did both but now I only do ballet Because my irish dance teacher went to jail for abusing one of the girls in his second class
Tumbling Luna never use point shoes without learning ballet for a long time and be good at it You may break your feet :0 Even I (I’m learning ballet for 5 years and on point for 2) and those ballerinas can break them if we didn’t stretch well and practice every day :,( Trust me it’s not about if it’s flexible or not
_.theresa._ I have done a lot of strength for feet, I watch videos that are made by dancers and ballerina’s. Thanks for the concern though, I will take your advice and wait until I get to try out ballet (I’m going to try out a free ballet class, and if I like it they will figure out where to put me) I’ll only try if the ballet coach says I can
I've been doing ballet for a little over 2 years now I kinda want to start using pointe shoes maybe... But people say it's very very hard so I'm kinda hesitate lol
Honestly for me the best feeling after 6 hours of practice,is dipping my feet into ice for 2 minutes,because my feet are so hot Others might find it strange but it’s something I look forward to!
the sheer joy of watching you all on the bubble wrap is so...so terribly wholesome. like i wish videos could be framed. what a refreshing show of humor from the otherwise usually serious and always beautiful world of ballet :’)
This is seriously my absolute favourite YT video of the entire year! And I've watched all kinds of videos, you name it, I've seen a video on it. This is art! It's creative, fun, relaxing, entertaining, perfection, precision, funny, beautiful, happy, educational, joyful, mesmerising and just all round brilliant! Really brilliant. Bravo! 👏🏻 🩰
Thank you ! Great souvenirs pop ped up while watching your ABC ! I am 73 Madame Jolie de l Opéra Comique de Paris était ma prof.au Conservatoire de Danse de Paris XIX. Elle me donnait ses pointes à réparer. ..J ' ai adoré apprendre, danser et enseigner ' Ballet' ..still having a' Pointe' .It is hanging on my stairs in Orléans . THANK YOU ALL for this fantastic film !!!!!!
For anyone who is confused for the fire/lighter basically ballerinas use fire on the tips of the ribbons so they don’t turn into string (idk how to say it but we all know what I mean) For the ice one ballerinas need to put their feet in ice at the end of the day because of all the hard work in ballet shoes And for the make up one ballerinas use that to give the shoes a shine and make them a bit more colorful or hide any blemishes so on. Rosin is a powder used so ballerinas don’t slip on stage
People burn the ends of the ribbons so they don't turn into something the equivalent of horse hair, which is in turn useless as a ribbon or a rope - yes people burn the ends of rope for the same reason. Thank you for the rest of your explanation as someone not from the dance industry.
I’ve always appreciated the help I got from the other dancers in customizing and caring for my pointe shoes, because I’m all thumbs when it comes to sewing (as were several other women in our old dance company).

The Australian Ballet's videos are very creative, aesthetically pleasing,and have lots of ASMR moments ❤❤❤ Never knew there's a more awesome sound than bubblewrap being popped,but then the combination between pointe shoes and bubblewrap happened in this video 😍😍😍
awesome photography, editing and video script! also, i never really thought how much the pointers were important in ballet! I could never do ballet when i was a little girl, i hope i can still learn as an adult
Bravo pour l'intelligence, la créativité, le travail incessant (individuel et ensemble), la grâce, le sourire et le plaisir donnés au spectateur. Nous accédons avec vous toutes à une autre dimension. Celle de la Beauté. Magnifique vidéo. Merci.
I'm French and it's very weird to see some words in French, I laugh about it because I thought you had your own vocabulary for classic dance, by the way you're so professionnal and it's a real pleasure to watched an aesthetic video as you made
that is actually really cool. I've always wanted to learn how to ballet but never had the money to get a class or the products. I have so much respect for ballerinas. Great video 💙🐝💙
I used to do a lot of ballet when i was younger, and I remembering always hating it when entering the class, but always left with a smiling and happy face of excitement. They were good times, i got to use pointe
Forgot "crying after class" for C
Crying in the bathroom during class because the teacher left u aside the choreography and then pretending everything's fine lol
T - Tears
Jajajajaja I want be a ballerina but I think I Will cry for my toes
stellerz lemonfield C is for crying in the bathroom because you grew out of your point shoes during winter break and during rehearsals when you had asked to change into your soft shoes because your pointe shoes were too small and she said “no, you can’t”
@@meluuunia6949 who hurt you 😂😂💀
The aesthetics of The Australian Ballet's videos are always INSANE. Also, the bubble wrap was just amazing.

What about pirouette? They missed that
I don’t have pointe shoes and yet I am fascinated with this form of art!
Me too!
Joy Cha Same. I really want pointe shoes though, I happen to have very flexible feet
Tumbling Luna never use point shoes without learning ballet for a long time and be good at it

Caroline reilly ikr it is better than any asmr I have ever listened to
Forget the bubble wrap, the sheer sound of all those pointe shoes on the floor at 3:14 is absolute satisfaction.

Kayla Horton Glutes
2:19 OU-OU-OUCH POUCH
I literally laughed for 10 minuets straight
I laughed at that too, but i'm not a dancer
Ppl : "Ballerina are so weak, they're just dancers, they even try to look like a doll
Ballerina : *"ARE U KIDDING ME ?!"*
Yess, people always tell me that dancing isn’t a sport, especially ballet and tap and I’m just sitting there like
👁👄👁 shut up
*traveling countryside* oh look! Its a herd of wild ballerinas! *hopping through grass*
Honestly for me the best feeling after 6 hours of practice,is dipping my feet into ice for 2 minutes,because my feet are so hot
Others might find it strange but it’s something I look forward to!
i rather spend my time on gymnastics more the ballet
Same
I can believe it actually!!
This is my favorite video that you guys have ever done. Well done and please keep them coming!
2:43 is my favorite
3:17 When you find a discount on pointe shoes...
I just got my first pointe shoes...$103!!!
I got my pointe shoes today for $110 my mom made me pay for half of it so now im broke (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
the sheer joy of watching you all on the bubble wrap is so...so terribly wholesome. like i wish videos could be framed. what a refreshing show of humor from the otherwise usually serious and always beautiful world of ballet :’)
How fun was it to bourrée on the bubble wrap?! Loved it XD
Ive watched this so many times, its just so well made. The girls were fantastic! This is honestly my favourite video on CZcams.
Who else thought that they were literally going to form the alphabet with their legs
Nope, just me...ok
Same do
Me

2:58 AGHHHHHHH
3:00 GOD! That's a real ASMR
Love these sounds

Ikr😂
Why would you be upside down lol
0:22 im shook
this is one of the coolest videos ive ever watched
Imagine when they are applying make up to their shoes and saying "You look good sweetie" at the shoes.
I'm learning to go on pointe soon and I have finally found something to do with broken rosin for my violin bow. String players can relate.
2:04 this can be an asmr🙀!
yea

man now I wanna pop bubble wrap with my pointe shoes
GOD this was a good aesthetic & audio experience, thanks!
0:59
*D*
*DIC-*
my first thought-
Anyone know the camera that gave the vintage affect? Thanks!
99.9% sure the effect was added when editing :)
Not Jeneric maybe but my cousin has an old vintage camera with beautiful grainy textures and vignette frame I can find out the name
Nokwanda Sikosana please do, that would be fantastic!
Please tell me too !
Not Jeneric ooo thank you!
1:14 is just like a gymnast's hands! 😂
Another L- LOVE!! There is so much love put into dance!!
stepping on bubble wrap with pointe shoes is such a brilliant idea
I swear. All i need to go on pointe is having my arch perfected and perfect my split
this makes me feel cool as a ballerina

Never knew there's a more awesome sound than bubblewrap being popped,but then the combination between pointe shoes and bubblewrap happened in this video 😍😍😍
why is this the coolest video i have ever seen? LIKE SERIOUSLY!
Who else scrunched up their face when they broke a pointe shoe ???
A lot of dedication, work, and LOVE of the art.
awesome photography, editing and video script! also, i never really thought how much the pointers were important in ballet! I could never do ballet when i was a little girl, i hope i can still learn as an adult
did u start again?
*why did i find this fascinating but equally hilarious*
This comes onto my recommended again every year and I’m here for itttttt
This is just the cleverest thing. The dancers look like they had a ball making it, almost as much fun as we have watching!
Kudos to the guys behind the style and storyboard of this! Incredible visuals and modernised to remove that sometimes stuffy image of ballet! Bravo ❤️
They spend 8 hours en pointe but i spend my life on point ;)
Good joke 😂😂
love them doing bourrée's on bubble wrap, makes my day better

Traveling: They looked like a flock of flamingos and I cannot unsee that
why is this so aesthetically pleasing
After this I realized how much being a ballerina is.

Thank the queen in the north for doing the voice over :’)
