Watch our latest behind the scenes video to find out how our male dancers are preparing for the highly challenging, technical performances in François Klaus' Don Quixote.
My 3 year old son already has a passion for dance and ballet. He's sooo young but his father and I are behind him all the damn way. If he flew through the air like these amazing men I'd be crying with pride. Wowwww!! Bravo!!
I desperately secretly wanted to learn ballet when I was a kid, but I was already so bullied at home and school and thought to myself that if I had dared saying that I wanted to try it out my life would've been way worse. Today I regret so much not taking that risk, I think it would've helped me so much on building self confidence, better posture and expressing myself better.
Ich kann Sie sehr gut verstehen. Wenn Sie noch jung genug sind, können Sie es doch noch versuchen? Meine Mama war eine begeisterte Balletttänzerin, später Ballettlehrerin...Ich kenne dieses Milieu bestens, schon von meiner Kinderzeit. Ich selbst war aber nie im Ballett. Heute sind aber 2 meiner Kinder, Tochter und Sohn fleißig im Ballett-Unterricht. Also, nur Mut!! Grüße aus dem schönen Bayern.🌞
@@gggggg-hs2tk I agree! Crossfit introduced classes they call "Silver Nanos" - a recent trend in weight lifting for those who are 55+. If you can start lifting weights at any age, you can start ballet dancing. They would come, no doubt. I'm 50 and I would come. If I could find someone to start a company/class, I would.
Thanks for sharing. I just showed this video to my 5 year old son who came out with "Men don't do ballet dancing!" the other day. I was shocked and had to show him that they indeed do!
Your son is probably repeating what he has heard others say. He may actually be interested, so he is testing your response. Please encourage him to dance if he wants to.
Beautiful! Such strength, grace, stamina and sheer artistry! No one really understands the difficulty and hours of practice to make ballet look so effortless, unless you have been a dancer yourself.
I want to learn ballet. I always used to imagine myself as a swan and prance and dance in circles with my arms flailing around LOL! These guys are not only incredibly elegant but awfully attractive!
So inspiring for my son, who is now doing Grade 5, and just danced a small 2.5 min solo to some Don Quixote music during a school production. Thanks for being such great role models.
@@jaygarrison7539 today is the big reopening of bars and restaurants here in France ! we will do the barre tomorrow ! the theaters and Opera de Paris are reopening also ! I am so happy !
This company is brilliant and of course the discipline demanded by genius choreographer, François Klaus, always make me wish I could be there to see a show in person. Bravo, Brava, to each and every dancer at the company!
I like how they move-it's kind of elegant and beautiful to see them dance. The jumps-don't start with me on the jumps! I have no words to that! I know that being a male ballet dancer you have to support the female ballet dancer on her jumps, clarify me if I'm wrong but comparing between the two, male ballet dancer put a lot of work to that. Carrying an adult female is no joke. When I saw the scene in Swan Lake, Giselle is being carried by the Prince in the midst of her dancing, I thought that huh, the woman must be lightweight. But then later on, I immediately cross to that idea. Even though they were skinny, it doesn't hide the fact that they are heavy af. It's my own conclusion! How could they carry the female dancers while being so beautiful and elegant! Like wow... 😲😲
Beautiful artistic elegant men. I was a ballet dancer for many years and I can tell you they are extremely strong and athletic and not bad to look at either...;) !!!!
When I was a kid, I used to think men doing ballet was embarrassing for them but that was because I had never watched them. I remember one day I watched one of those famous dance movies and that one had ballet and hip hop dancers together and I realized that male ballet dancers are super cool and manly, and they even look more elegant than the girls for me.
I have just recently discovered the beauty, grace, and intensity of Ballet. I have never been interested in Ballet before and I'm 20 years old now. I would love to take classes but I don't plan on dancing to traditional ballet music rather something much different. When did these men start dancing?
I been doing ballet for 6 years and I can’t wait to do jumps like those and yea growing up being told “ it for girls “ and being bulled for doing ballet and honestly ballet was a thing to get away from that and I liked that
I danced for 4 years and I really miss it. I fear that I am too old to join again (im 13) so i'm hesitant to get back into classes. And the fact that i'll have to start back as a beginner sucks.I used to spend almost all my time at my dance studio. I took 6 classes and I loved every second of it. Even when it hurt.
You are never too old to start dancing, especially since you're only thirteen. You will probably have to work hard to get back to where you used to be, but if you want it hard enough and work hard enough you can get there.
+angelina jacobsen 13?? Hahaa old at 13 pleasseee. I know someone who just started ballet at 25. If you want to do it take Shia LaBeouf's advice and JUST DO IT!
+bm6nation Lol, when in doubt listen to Shia, aye? But thanks, my dad actually signed me up with a teacher. (took a lot of convincing since he was convinced that I was going to be a star soccer player)
Girl, I am 20 years old and never danced before. I am hoping to take adult classes -- you are never to old to start anything you desire to do in life. Go for it.
I am 48 and found a ballet studio that teaches adults. I start private lessons next week and so excited. Plus, adults learn quicker than these 5 & 6 year-olds. But, if you're looking to make ballet a career then, yes, you do need to start dancing at that age so your body and muscles develop the right way. But, for me (personally), I want to learn to dance ballet for my own self enrichment. There are so many benefits to learning ballet.
I’m a boxer and I wanna learn how to dance so it helps with my foot work when I see these guys dance they look so light on their feet and it caught my eyes I wish someone could teach me
T.T.J. Thanks for the enquiry. To be honest I haven't finished the article yet, but your enquiry has spurred me on. I will work on it and try and complete it by end of 2013. I will post a link when it is up or if (as I hope) I can get it published in a magazine I will let you have a pdf of it post publication (as a favour just because you showed an interest.)
George Balanchine once said that ballet was about the ballerina; to showcase her. The boys can leap but the principal idea was for them to show her off and do the lifts. Times have changed since George Balanchine because of some famous and very physical male dancers that have emerged over the years. People like to watch the power of their performance in solo more now.
Always wanted to do ballet as a kid but my parents never let me either way i'm too tall! everyone always told me i looked like i would be a dancer 😭 i wish i was able to be one
Amanda Jones, I am genuinely interested to know if you asked your son how he got the idea that ballet is not for boys. I am writing an article about this stereotype and so it is interesting to see how even today when we are supposed to be so liberal that children get the wrong idea. Well done for showing him this video.
I showed this video to my son so he doesn't think ballet is just for girls. I wanted to do ballet but the teacher was racist and made excuses which suited my mother fine. If my son doesn't want to do ballet that's not a problem but I don't want him or my husband's tedious friends telling me or my kids that ballet is only for girls or there is something wrong with men or boys who do it.
I really wished my parents weren't so gender-stereotypical, and let me do ballet at an early age. Now I have to rely on strictly on my brain for school...
Ballet dancers are athletes regardless of them being a male or female. That is such strenuous work 👍
this is actually really attractive and they're all so talented!! how do they move like that I
You really want to know how they do it? PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE for years.
Say it with me now! "MEN IN BALLET ARE HECKING HOT" 🔥🔥🔥
My 3 year old son already has a passion for dance and ballet. He's sooo young but his father and I are behind him all the damn way. If he flew through the air like these amazing men I'd be crying with pride. Wowwww!! Bravo!!
The I am proud for a kind parents like both of you!❤❤❤
you're the best parents ever. bravo!
Good gut !!
@@wolfgang4368x Don't worry. Chances are he'll grow out of it.
Yes! We desperately need more men in ballet, and I'm so happy that you let your son's dreams grow! You won't regret it, you're amazing parents🖤

What a pleasure to see men in ballet and they do very well, I marry one like that. It's a delight, it's passion, it's art for ballet
Their movements are so graceful and beautiful. It's mesmorizing!
I want to learn ballet. I always used to imagine myself as a swan and prance and dance in circles with my arms flailing around LOL! These guys are not only incredibly elegant but awfully attractive!
Not just strong and skillful but also exquisitely well coordinated.
So inspiring for my son, who is now doing Grade 5, and just danced a small 2.5 min solo to some Don Quixote music during a school production. Thanks for being such great role models.
Sounds good !
"We start with the bar," honey that looks like something that would take me a year to get right omg love it tho

@@thehe2546 I commented this 3 yrs ago I have no idea what I was talking about sorry🙏🏾😭
Such strong balance during spinning and jumping
A gem of docufilm and a great advert for the company.
Someone let me marry these men.
they’re all so beautiful! amazing!

their muscles are amazing!
Finally I see some ballet moves I know how to do! Such as the beginning to the first minute! Now the ending? Hell naw! lol
Absolutely gorgeous technique! Kudos and Bravo! to each one of these delicious creatures.
I been doing ballet for 6 years and I can’t wait to do jumps like those and yea growing up being told “ it for girls “ and being bulled for doing ballet and honestly ballet was a thing to get away from that and I liked that
Keep going. Don't listen to those people.
NICE !! GREAT TALENT !
The movement are so agile and graceful
Thanksd for sharing. Beautiful !

Love this video totally awesome
Wow! Great post!
They're all so beautiful 😍 Yu Hui is my mcm
some of my goals in life😉
I watched this before when I was 15 and I'm 23 now and I still want to do ballet. I try to copy their warm up sometimes and my legs got used to it.
Try to find a low cost community class. I restarted ballet at age 23 - it's not too late!
Beautifull ! Thanks a lot!
its so beautiful
that's insannnnne. cant wait to learn how to do that!
Love !!! ballet dancer men
This is so very beautiful

Ballet is definitely not for the week. It looks super intense
You're right, it's better to do it on weekends. You know, when your schedule's clear.

I would love to be a dancer. I'm just worried what others would think... Plus I could never do that... I try though. When no one is home. :/
Don't worry about what others will think, your priority should be your personal happiness!
So nic
Their leg muscles are impressive
Lovely selection of beef. Lol
I totally want to marry a ballet dancer. boy or girl
Same 🐷💅
Same. Just look at those rock hard buns and big strong legs.
