Anthony Dowell had the most perfect line, no male dancer has ever come close to his perfection of classical line.
I totally agree with you.
Sir Anthony. What a legend!
What a great treat to see this. Thank you so much. The wonderful Anthony Dowell.
Really a privilege to see behind the scenes like this. Wonderful coaching by Sir Anthony and lovely dancing by Melissa and Reece.
Anthony Dowell is such a treasure. He was so elegant and so technically perfect. It was so interesting to see Reece who is an amazing dancer not quite understand what Dowell was trying to tell him about slowing the turns. I have seen Dowell do these turns and slow them down so that he seamlessly goes into the next movement, he was effortlessly smooth. Melissa and Reece are superb and the pianist is brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

Sir Anthony, What a dear pleasure to see you coaching. My best to you with many bravos and thank yous to you of your Royal Ballet years. Quite a match were you and Antoinette! Miss those years, when...🌹
Sooo lovely🤩🤩 I would love to see Melissa Hamilton as a principal ❤
It wolud be time..! She has grown so much in these last few years :)
Absolutely! When???
Can't believe mayara was promoted first, what a joke. Let's play identify the nepo ROH edition
Melissa has the special something that stands out. I agree she has been overlooked . Thankfully, Roberto Bolle appreciates her star quality and has enabled her to shine.
Lovely to watch & listen to, like a very mature conversation or collaboration ❤
Very enjoyable watching such talented dancers being coached in their roles. The pianist was wonderful and attention to small details shows how these ballets are passed on from one generation to the next.
What a hoot Anthony Dowell😂
Thank you so much!
Beautiful !!!
If he kissed me I'd definitely wake up.
Wonderful! Thank you. Small correction: Melissa's a First Soloist, not a Soloist.
I love this pas de deux❤
What's the name of this music…？
It’s Tchaikovsky’s music for the ‘Sleeping Beauty’
Finally a couple of gorgeous, tall, statuesque dancers at Royal Ballet! This is high level.
Finally? Ever hear of Darcey Bussell or Jonathan Cope or Zenaida Yanowsky or Monica Mason?
