I've been watching a lot of the Vaganova ballet academy videos, and I just don't understand how these dancers are "elite". Yes, the Vaganova school turns out astonishingly beautiful dancers, some of the best in the world, but Joffrey is supposedly one of the better NYC ballet schools, and its dancers shouldn't look like they've merely been chosen from a very good high school dance group in comparison. Why do the Joffrey School dancers look so unprepared and poorly taught, even in contrast to the SAB or ABT young hopefuls? The dancers on Strictly Ballet and other ballet school shows seem to be stronger dancers with more dedication and professionalism, while these kids are coming off as more arrogant all the time. There's no room for arrogance in dance--it means you aren't focussing enough on correcting your own errors and increasing the ease and beauty of your movement. Two episodes ago, we learned that one dancer has been dancing 2 years and another 4. Their progress is wonderful in such a short time, and both have real potential, but are they (or most of the others) really ready for the title "elite"? I wonder, and I wonder at the troupe's leaders for setting them up to fail here in a way that could really damage their professional careers like this.
They're an organization that needs money because they're not affiliated with the company anymore. They take pretty much anyone who auditions, and any pre professional would choose ABT JKO or SAB over JBS. I made the mistake of going to a JBS summer program a few years back, but I look back at it now and contrast my experience there to my recent experience at ABT New York. JBS is actually a very low tier school, if you know what I mean, their name is just big because so many students go there.
Cindy Chen Right, and they still benefit from the Joffrey name because people associate them with the company. For those who don't know, the only school endorsed by the Joffrey Ballet is JAD in Chicago.
@@blancaah6 the company you're likely thinking of is the Joffrey ballet in Chicago. The NY "Joffrey" (which is not affiliated as described in previous comments) mainly has the school, which isn't the greatest. They have a "studio company" but it's basically better kids from the school, while they're in school, putting on a show. The whole program is in essence a money maker, if you're serious about wanting employment with a company it's not a top choice, FAR from the "top five in the country" which they boast in the show.
The dance was going well, but there were a lot of mistakes (seriously, the shoe? I danced ballet for like a year when I was a child and even I know we're not supposed to fix our clothes or anything in the middle of the dance) and it just wasn't emotional, it didn't make me feel anything, just made me cringe a bit (also a bit confusing idk)
Is this the right Joffrey or another company? There technique is not the best, there is no emotion and come on the shoe thing? My dance teacher would have killed me for that....
Back when this was filmed, it was still the renowned Joffrey Ballet School. The school has since been sold, and is taken over by Russians who have since turned it into a money maker vs an elite ballet school. I hope this answers your question.
Sorry... the boys look like they are marking in a rehearsal, not performing on stage, let alone competing... I would never let my kids go on stage looking like that.
They were not pointing their feet... and also the guy whose shoe came off... it was an accident, but if he had been taught right, he would have danced to his full potential even if he had lost it mid jump... that would have been better than what he did...
This is not THE Joffrey Ballet school. The real true Joffrey Ballet moved to Chicago around 95 (if I'm not mistaken). They ARE NOT the same, even though they share a name.
This can't be associated with the actual Joffrey school. It would be embarrassing. I mean the boys are awful! Harrison barely points his toes and can barely do the jumps/leaps. If these were the best guys out of that audition...smh...scary. Hope the next performance is A LOT better than this!
Honestly, I think there’s too much going on in the choreography. In pointe pieces I’m a true believer that less is more, especially if the group is lacking in technique. It also felt like there are just too many people on stage at the same time. My eyes don’t know what to look at.
Music wasn't dynamic and was kind of boring for the whole thing. Would have been nice to see some ups and downs. I also don't see any artistry from the group. They look sooo bored and serious up there. Even if it's a more serious piece, don't let your face look dead haha. Arielle both had some nice expression though. Also, WHY is it necessary for the boys to never wear shirts??? I think it's a terrible costume choice, but that's just me. Maybe for one piece, but if every dance they do has shirtless boys it stops being interesting/different.
Lovely choreography. This is a huge learning experience for these students. I hope they take advantage of the filming and learn how to finesse their technique. Balanchine created everything to look fantastic from the audience's perspective. That philosophy would work well here. It's not just about the steps but how you get in and out of them. For instance, lowering the working leg in temp level turned out and not dropping the chest when landing jumps for the girls. Anna was great. Her poise and attention to detail is a cut above the other ladies. Keep pushing ladies and gents. You have a huge advantage from this opportunity.
Maybe I am missing something here but are these teenagers meant to be the best from Joffrey Ballet school? Because that was just bad in every sense: Technique, Emotion, Timing, Spacing, essentially every aspect of dance. There are many dancers from normal dance schools who dance far superior to this. Either the school does not deserve it's reputation or these teenagers are new dancers because this is not the level of those trained from the age of 3-5 who have a chance of becoming Principles.
Why did this sorta look like beautiful individual dancers dancing to their own tune? Like I couldn’t see what was meant to be there and what was too messy. It sorta looked like chaos. But what do I know maybe it was really good?
THANK YOU for showing more of the dancing compared to the last performance. It was nice to see almost the entire piece instead of just snippets. That said, as others have already said, the performance was definitely rough and I don't think they're going to be scoring very high for this piece. Also, I'm glad they kept Matt from the show because he wasn't dedicated to learning the choreo or even attending class, so why should he be at the show???
Matt need to go period!! He's just so uncaring and sad he took a spot another would work their butts off for. you shouldn't have to beg a student to do what they signed up for. Whatever is going on in his life it's not at all about dance. Fernando is a great dancer. He more than deserved that promotion and was good to see him at comp.
if you're a well trained dancer, a shoe wouldn't make you perform badly...👀 it looks like all the guys have been doing ballet for about three months, which I know isn't the case, but it makes me wonder if all the people they cut could even dance at all....in NY of all places....but there are better companies than joffrey,so who knows...
the dancer who's shoe fell off, i think he's only been dancing for 2 years? people go to school to learn right haha, im sure this is a learning experience for them. but yeah, he could have probably left it half on since it was the end of the performance really, just running around and a lil jump at the end. it looks better than fixing it or kicking it aside, judges/the audience only have so much sympathy. tight draw strings + double elastics = key
OppositeofHATE7 I agree. Seeing this performance made me think, how prestigious really is this school? I've always been told to keep dancing no matter what. Don't adjust your shoe. Take it off and dance in bare feet. Just don't let the judges notice! Also, the men looked like they were marking the entire routine! There are many other NYC schools with more dedicated dancers, but I guess Joffrey has a reputation from dance moms.
OppositeofHATE7 you all clearly don't do ballet or dance at all, you don't realize how hard it is. Yes some of them weren't pointing their feet, so what? They're all still incredible dancers and better than you'll ever be. I'm not trying to hate but pointe and ballet is so hard! You don't understand. These kids work SO hard.
They definitely need to work more on technique before the choreography as some of these dancers have only a few years of dance under their toes. Can't expect a great outcome if the lines aren't right nor their feet or strength. Definitely need lots of improvement
When i saw the competition was called BTS i was like oo thats my fave group. Then when the guy said 'blood sweat and tears!' Later on i was like ahhhhh thats like my fave song by them as well!
is this on TV?? because i have looked, but cant find it anywhere! If these were longer, that would be better.... Are there full episodes of this on TV or is it just for UA-cam ??
Elite? The 8 to 10 year old dancers from my tiny small town performed better than this, had better technique ad ne whow to behave in a class, I really am quitesurprised. this honestly looked like your typical dance school recital. hate to say it but its true. I danced at joffery for 3 summers had one of there guest teachers attend my summer program and she told me about the audition for what turned out to be my first job. I truly am quite surprised!!
jeez, how did they choose these dancers? I really expected more from joffrey BALLET school. Half of these girls dont look like they are even ready for pointe work
I can just hear my former dance teacher getting upset with this performance. Hopefully in the future episodes I can see more growth. They're not a group yet.
To be completely honest, these dances don't look like they put their best work. Of course we know that they try to put their hearts and souls to their performances,but sometimes it doesn't look like it. I'm trying not to hate. I do love the choreo! It's absolutely just, UGH. Love it love it LOVE IT. But the dancers are just the only problem. They don't mix together. They look like individuals more than a team. I feel like the choreographers chose the ppl that looked the best dancing. But if I were in their shoes, I would chose the ppl that can work as a team easily. I'm unfortunately not a pro dancer or teacher, but I have been doing ballet/cecchetti for abt 4 years now. Have been dancing for just abt my whole life. 😬😅 but again, not trying to hate. As individuals, they look absolutely stunning. Some need help w/ their technique (Even I need help w/ that. Lol). So. Ah. Yeah!
That was a mess. I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to be looking at. I don’t think it was choreographed very well, much less danced well. Also, ADJUSTING A SHOE??? DUDE. No.
Not only were they out of time, the boys were walking and looking around like they were trying to figure out where they had to be and ARE YOU KIDDING ME ABOUT THAT SHOE THING like i get it your worried about it but it looked HORRIBLE honestly i cant believe this is “in the top five ballet school in the country”
Elite, eh? 4:17 OMG EW SICKLING center center! Sorry I just hate sickling. I'm kinda OCD about that lol. The last girl off stage was good. Just saying, might not to put this out on the web as your "elite" team.
Ik I am late but are we just going to ignore the fact that the technique is not even there. Especially Harrison. He never points his toes, his arms are off, his releve is very low, and the positions are so sloppy. I am so surprised by this, and I do not understand how this can be considered one of the best schools in the world. I am genuinely confused.
Anna was quite lovely and is clearly the most accomplished ballet dancer in the group . She should have been highlighted more.
I agree Anna looked amazing! She should be a soloist.
AGREED
@@miac7083 agreed. She's definitely not at her best by far.

+Cindy Chen I didn't know that. So, what happens when they graduate? Do they have the possibility of dancing with the company?
Not more of a chance than everyone else who auditions.
Cindy Chen Right, and they still benefit from the Joffrey name because people associate them with the company. For those who don't know, the only school endorsed by the Joffrey Ballet is JAD in Chicago.

I sound very hard in the comment, what I meant to say is that it's an okay dance, but I was expecting more from the 'incredible Joffrey Elite'
This dance just seemed to chaotic on stage. The movements would of been better on a larger stage it just seemed like organized chaos in this video
Is this the right Joffrey or another company? There technique is not the best, there is no emotion and come on the shoe thing? My dance teacher would have killed me for that....
there isn't an "actual" company. it's just two seperate Joffreys
Back when this was filmed, it was still the renowned Joffrey Ballet School. The school has since been sold, and is taken over by Russians who have since turned it into a money maker vs an elite ballet school.
I hope this answers your question.
I agree
Sorry... the boys look like they are marking in a rehearsal, not performing on stage, let alone competing... I would never let my kids go on stage looking like that.
kyle nicholson unfortunately, I have to agree. The boys really need more work.
They were not pointing their feet... and also the guy whose shoe came off... it was an accident, but if he had been taught right, he would have danced to his full potential even if he had lost it mid jump... that would have been better than what he did...

This is not THE Joffrey Ballet school. The real true Joffrey Ballet moved to Chicago around 95 (if I'm not mistaken). They ARE NOT the same, even though they share a name.
🌟🌟🌟ANNA🌟🌟🌟she's so beautiful and perfect! Please please please show her more ❤❤❤
This can't be associated with the actual Joffrey school. It would be embarrassing. I mean the boys are awful! Harrison barely points his toes and can barely do the jumps/leaps. If these were the best guys out of that audition...smh...scary. Hope the next performance is A LOT better than this!
No, JBS is not the official Joffrey school. To my knowledge, they're completely unaffiliated at this point.
Honestly, I think there’s too much going on in the choreography. In pointe pieces I’m a true believer that less is more, especially if the group is lacking in technique. It also felt like there are just too many people on stage at the same time. My eyes don’t know what to look at.

I agree!
They might've used a different song but because of copyright awesomenesstv maybe put another song over it. That's my guess
Lovely choreography. This is a huge learning experience for these students. I hope they take advantage of the filming and learn how to finesse their technique.

I'm so excited to go to this school as a trainee next year. I've been binge watching these for weeks.
Yikes!!! the boys are not pointing their feet at all, and many times they are standing there looking around not knowing what they were doing
Patricia Levinson YES ikr and the girls arms are out of place so often!
Patricia Levinson I agree but don't forget one of the boys injured his toe which is no excuse but it is understandable why he wouldn't be so good
Who else does ballet and pointe
Dancing Reice AWESOME me and jazz tap and hip hop
if u r professional, u should've left the shoe. this dance was terrible lol. it was so messy
Moi!!
Me! I just started and I love it sm
Me I love pointe
Ahh I can't wait for the next episode bc then we can actually hear the music they're performing to with Still I Cry yayy!
Anna is a gorgeous dancer. Her extensions are to die for! I hope she gets into a company!!
Maybe I am missing something here but are these teenagers meant to be the best from Joffrey Ballet school?

This is TOO short! I want moooore! XD
I so agree.
It's amazing what you guys are doing. This young dancers will grow so much after this show. Really hopping to see them on a big stage someday
I have parts where my shoes would consistently fall off and I still danced to my fullest with out fixing it
The color of the costume was gross, and the choreography was really boring. I am looking forward to the contemporary piece next week.
I've been bingeing this, a common theme I noticed is that in these dances the formations always look... messed up.
thanks! that explains a lot. why does Joffrey Ballet allow them to keep using the name?
this absolutely cannot be the best THE Joffrey Ballet school has to offer... am I missing something here?
Floored by Harrisons song!! Keep going with the music Harrison!!
Everyone is talking about how Harrison and Madison have a thing going on but I can definitely tell that Fernando and Anna also like each other 😏
Why did this sorta look like beautiful individual dancers dancing to their own tune? Like I couldn’t see what was meant to be there and what was too messy. It sorta looked like chaos. But what do I know maybe it was really good?

All about this show: I am so nervous! It’s so nerve wracking! I am so excited! This is so exciting!!
Beyond the stars is my favorite competition 💜💜
Anna's technique is beautiful.
i was so nervous for you guys but you really did ur best! proud of you❤️
whaaaaat outing your shoe back on at 5:16 wtf
I went there and got 2nd overall
Sarah Zhao congrats!!!! My studio wasn't there 😞
The dancers did not appear very good, I think that is the fault of the choreographer --- it was crappy choreography. I felt sorry for the dancers.
They definitely need to work more on technique before the choreography as some of these dancers have only a few years of dance under their toes. Can't expect a great outcome if the lines aren't right nor their feet or strength. Definitely need lots of improvement

I would be so nervous, I was nervous just watching this
Emily Lewis same
Yay this is the fastest I came . yay my joffrey elite babies💜💜💜
The point dance was. Quite weird there was to much going on but I think Anna was reallly good
is this on TV?? because i have looked, but cant find it anywhere! If these were longer, that would be better.... Are there full episodes of this on TV or is it just for UA-cam ??
Anna and Fernando look so cute together 🤣😍❤️
Although their dance was a bit chaotic at least Fernando was performing if Matis had done it it would have been awful!!!

is no one going to talk about the song change? I thought it was supposed to be to harrison's song
Rebekah G the second piece is Harrison's song. It's going to be in the next episode🙂🙂
thats for part 2 this was the other guys dance
Rebekah G That's the one I wannna see!!! I love contemporary--this one was boring
How can we get Harrison's song??? I wants it on my playlist!
I wish I could meet you guys.
yall realize that this isn't the joffrey school you're all thinking of..? its a different one
5:02 were the guys supposed to have their feet like that....? i mean their pose wasnt exact...
This time I liked the choreography
The BTS references🔥🔥🔥im living
jeez, how did they choose these dancers? I really expected more from joffrey BALLET school. Half of these girls dont look like they are even ready for pointe work
Anna is underestimated. She and Eduardo should do a piece together
I was expecting Vaganova quality and all im feeling is Dance Moms.
for me exelent exelnte para mi ,uy buen espectaculo todos muy bien ymexifer tu muy bien saludos desde chicago la villita
I can just hear my former dance teacher getting upset with this performance. Hopefully in the future episodes I can see more growth. They're not a group yet.
Does anyone know what the songs called for the pointe piece?
Fernandos so good!
any army's here? cause beyond the stars (BTS) and then the coach said Blood sweat and Tears. AHHHHHH
Meƞą I'm not part of your fandom but you people are EVERYWHERE
Meƞą me!! Manhi manhi manhi, wonhae mahni manhi manhi
Meƞą AYYYYYYYYY. WASSUP WASSUP. AYYYYY😂🙌🏼
Weird Nerd__ do u guys have amino?
Brisa Barajas Huerta i do
Harrison's technique is just horrible when you put him next to Fernando and even just himself alone.
Yay 😊
why dont they have their seat belts on at the beginning :( those vans are prone to flipping and rolling
I’m so incredibly convinced that this is not joffrey ballet．
why the heck weren't they wearing seatbelts in the van on the way to the competition?! Crazy!
early squad where u at
this is real dancing, dance moms is just showing that you’re flexible that’s not dancing
Gummy Noodles suga😱💜
Gummy Noodles no they are different styles of dance lol
this isn’t THE Joffrey ballet school and it shows
To be completely honest, these dances don't look like they put their best work.

Anyone else think that Harrison looks like a vampire ... no ... just me ... ok
Harrison is actually the real life version of Archie Andrews from Riverdale
Low key why do they go to the same competitions as the dance moms girls? Lol 😝
what’s the song??
is this the real joffrey ballet school??? I'm so confused what did i just watch lol
If you only watch Harrison, I don’t think he can dance, maybe a bit of partnering but Idk how he made the team
bit chaotic, they needed a lot more time. Don't know why they rushed them into all the performances in this series?!
at 1:08 ... Sarah Hunt from dance moms?
The boys flexibility is just not there
i expected so much more from Joffrey damn.
Blood sweat and tears manhi manhi manhi any armys? 😂
😂 I love that song
Yes! Love BTS! Going to their concert?
Alisha Noonan i went to their concert in Anaheim it was soo amazing
HARRISON SHOULD NOT EVEN BE AT JOFFREY AFTER THAT PERFORMANCE. HE HAD ZERO COORDINATION. ARE THEY PRANKING US RN????
So choreographers were worried about the spacing was off, but they didn't care about their timing, which wasn't good enough?..
Im sorry but ballet dancers don't fix their ballet slippers on stage.
Anna and Fernando 🤗
is this like dance moms? are the competitions fake?
These videos are way too short and are taking too long to come out...
Why did I though it said beyond the sun Bc of BTS? Haha
to be dacing at the joffery i expected more from their technique
I am sorry but they need to kick Matt off the team because missed practices, not showing up that's two strikes ☹️😑😒🙃🙁😐😑😶😕😐😬🙄
"they let me do the competition" - yeah because look at the other option
I can't stand harrison's feet any longer
Anna K I KNOOOOOWWW
did they just say blood sweat and tears 😱
does anyone else think harrison looks like edward cullen
That was a mess. I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to be looking at. I don’t think it was choreographed very well, much less danced well. Also, ADJUSTING A SHOE??? DUDE. No.
Wow Christ the king. I went there lol
Not only were they out of time, the boys were walking and looking around like they were trying to figure out where they had to be and ARE YOU KIDDING ME ABOUT THAT SHOE THING like i get it your worried about it but it looked HORRIBLE honestly i cant believe this is “in the top five ballet school in the country”
neon costumes hmmm
Elite, eh? 4:17 OMG EW SICKLING center center! Sorry I just hate sickling. I'm kinda OCD about that lol. The last girl off stage was good. Just saying, might not to put this out on the web as your "elite" team.
Ik I am late but are we just going to ignore the fact that the technique is not even there. Especially Harrison. He never points his toes, his arms are off, his releve is very low, and the positions are so sloppy. I am so surprised by this, and I do not understand how this can be considered one of the best schools in the world. I am genuinely confused.
