You knew the people they interviewed were all going to make it so
L Shep they probably interview a bunch of people and keep the interviews of the people that make it.
STALKER
L Shep ikr
I think they did the interviews after the selection ;) or maybe they cut of the others.
L Shep ikr lol they shouldnt have made it so obvious
"There ain't no Booty poppin' in ballet, save that for the club mhmmm"😂😂
The girl in all red is a beautiful dancer and her laugh is contagious.
Those teachers are something else. Clubs?? I wouldn't be surprised.
xD It was so funny especially the way he said it 😂
I had been doing since I was 4 but I stopped at high school because I didn't like learning choreography I wanted to create my own and thats when i turned to contemporary and just any other dance .
Mr. Prescost is such a funny guy, and I loved it when he taught us and auditioned us
side note: seeing those short/curvy girls in the joffrey school was actually inspiring. I thought only tall and skinny girls could only be professional/high level ballerinas.. This was really nice to finally see :)
I think this school is known for its unconventional and very athletic dancers? I am Russian-trained and my teachers always placed so much emphasis on being skinny, and this was so nice to see, I completely agree with you :)
Yeah, my ballet academy, it was like no boobs, no butt, no curves, skinny like a stick. it was really upsetting
polka I thought that was cool too. Sometimes ballet academies are a little more open to different looks I think because some dancers go on to being in contemporary companies. That's not the same story when it comes to ballet companies.
I don't think that the companies intentionally discriminate against curvy girls, it's just that it's a lot easier to be a good dancer when you're thin. You can spin faster, jump higher, and it's easier on your partner, especially if you have lifts.
this isn´t the ¨real¨Joffrey. It has no affiliation with the Joffrey name, which is located in Chicago.
The best school in the world? Whaat? Ever heard of Vaganova academy?
I would say Royal Ballet's school.
Your last name is Pavlova? Are you related to Anna Pavlova?
Joffrey's not even the best ballet school in America....let alone the world
ordinary american praise :)))
Or Bolshoi brooo
I've been doing ballet since I was 3 and I absolutely hate it when people say "dance is easy" or "ballet is for girls" or "ballet is easy!" Because no, it's not! It takes precision, measurement, balance and art
Ikr. Sometimes I wish ballet was considered as an art AND as a sport. Like seriously, using pointe shoes hurt. Younger boys specifically (>20) who don't do ballet, just assume we are all little girly ballerinas that are weak and fragile. I could rant about this all day...
Dancer struggles 😂 people claim that highland dancing is easy compared to ballet but both dances are difficult to perfect. Highland dancers do things that ballet dancers can’t do, same with ballet dancers and pointe
Ellen Murray same everyone is like oh I can do that it so easy is go on then they try fail and think they do well it annoys me to
Exactly my point! You've taken the words right off my tongue!
Theavy Barmes That's EXACTLY how I feel!
A quick Google search revealed that the Joffrey Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet School New York once belonged together, but around 20 years ago the Joffrey Ballet moved to Chicago and founded their own Ballet Academy there. So nowdays both schools are not connected in any way anymore.
SweetManiacDeluxe Seriously why people believe that that's the official school of Joffrey Ballet with such a low level of students? And how this terrible school can use the company's name to get students? A very unprofessional school...
It feels like nothing when compared to Vaganova auditions. That's just brutal.
Aizhan Yermekbay agreed
It’s a different tequinique
agreed!
Vaganova is the best
Because Russian and English ballet is different dude, its a whole different culture and tradition on how Vaganova does it.
I love the way he says "...be the best ballet dancer that they can be", even though this is an audition. Clearly this man has a healthy view of what students should be working towards. :)
"...ending our season at nationals to find out who is the best in the world at ballet".
Why do American's always forget that they're not the only nation on the planet
casamir111 because no other country has that same mentality when they are forming an elite team or doing a competition?
Jessica January wow lol are you serious
Jessica January ever heard of Russia? China? ... I l'll stop here.....
alliecravulz you apparently don't understand a question. In that other countries don't have the same mentality when it comes to competition? they do so why is it only America that gets ragged on for thinking they're the best when other countries think the same way. But I'll stop there.....
Jessica January only a sufficient American brat like you could answer something like this
I love how they actually help you at an audition and correct you. At most auditions I've been to, (I don't audition, I'm too young, I watch my teammates) they just watch you and give you looks and you don't get anything out of it. I know you get the 'experience' but when you've done tens of auditions, it's not much. I love these teachers :)
These guys are obnoxious. This is more of a Survivor episode than a profile of dance auditions.
there are auditions back in the 1970's - 1980's where you didnt even do a step. They looked at your body and feet - brutal!!
Monica Digrindakis Oh yeah things have definitely changed!
Kathy Cahill agreed, these two are annoying af
The entire "audition" looked so thrown together. I'm not a dancer, but I've been in buildings and calls where they're putting on dance auditions at the same time, and all the girls are wearing the same thing, makeup the same, ect. Just like for a model call, or some forms of acting auditions. You get instructions for how to dress and what to wear. This series definitely wasn't what I was expecting in that it's a lot less professional than the real world.
Sadies Ariel girl if you’re a actor/ model why are you talking about ballet? I haven’t seen you in anything note worthy
No by by
Yeah. The teachers don’t even seem professional.
So true! I mean, everybody is wearing a differently colored leotards, some girls with skirts, or shorts, or even black tights... All the auditions I did give you clear dress codes, something like "black leo, pink tights". How can they even see the lines if some girls are wearing baggy shorts or black tights? 😂
I don't understand this audition process. Was there no dress code? They all look so random. Professional ballet schools require a specific attire; even for an audition.
J. K. Clothes don’t matter
And how can the dress code affect the audition process ? This kind of nonsense dress code that only complicates life to children. In my opinion it's just extra pathos to depersonalize the girls. it's beautiful, all dressed up
@@PavelMy i think the jury can see the lines better if they have te same clothes. Your clothing can affect how you look and your lines. That's what i think
smoosh uwu yes I think it’s that too
I've auditioned infront of Max for Joffrey and their was a strict dress code so I'm not sure what this is.
It's hard when you get rejected. It upsets you and makes you feel like you aren't good enough.
When you work hard to be the best at something you want to be the best at, to get the message you're just not that good - even if you're let down easily - is a huge blow. Dance is a communal activity, done with other people. Not making the cut is like being told you don't belong in the family.
I'm a painter. If I have a showing and nobody buys anything, it might bother me but I can go back to my studio and, all alone, continue to create. A dancer can't say, "Well, fine. I'll just dance all by myself, do my own choreography, and create my own sets, costumes, and lighting."
Rachel's Place when u get rejected it is because ur not good enough
More likely, it's because you aren't EXACTLY what a company is looking for. You could be a brilliant dancer with flawless technique and enormous presence, but if a dance company is packing their ranks with dancers of a specific height and shape, then forget it. Balanchine was always looking for a exact type of dancer. If you didn't fit the profile, that was it - and with so many dancers out there to chose from, a dance company can decide they want redheads of a particular height, weight, and neck length - and get it.
TheStockwell
that why you practice! ;)
Joffrey lost all credibility when they decided to appear on Dance Moms lol
ellystripes lmfao
they didn't appear on dance moms, the girls just auditioned, and since it is a reality show it obviously appeared...
If you think that the Joffrey school was not paid for their studio and teachers to appear on the show then you are incredibly naive. There is no way you could walk into a place like that with a camera crew just because you happened to be filming a reality show.
so true lmao
ellystripes they were at a competition that Joffrey was at (there’s clips of the dance mom girls at a master class with other dancers) and the girls auditioned (along with other competitors from other studios) in front of the Joffrey people individually, and they were filmed
Joffrey New York is not the real Joffrey... the real Joffrey ballet company and school is in Chicago. I went there for a summer intensive last summer and they confirmed that Joffrey new york had nothing to do with the actual Joffrey other than the name.
Ashley Chung what are you talking about? The Joffrey school is in New York. I would know I go to Joffrey
+Amber Saint Apparently the original Joffrey Ballet moved to Chicago and founded their own Academy there, while the Joffrey Ballet School stayed in New York and is nowdays completely seperated from the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago
Ashley Chung tru tru
+Amber Saint yup there are two Joffreys. I took a class at the one in Chicago and told me they aren't connected to the one in New York
Ashley Chung it is the real Joffrey. The school started in NYC moved to Chicago, then either some of it never moved or they moved back and cut ties with Joffrey Chicago. They're both real.
“one of the greatest dance schools in the world” am i the only one that laughed a little
lola You are not alone.
you’re so rude
lola so true
Alissandra Standing she wasn’t being too rude I mean yes it may have been a little but I have to agree with Lola about it being one of the greatest dance schools in the world
they're not even the best in the US but they're still a damn good company
Am I the only one very off put by this? They feel like some sort of terrible fake hype man teachers. I'd much prefer SAB.
Edward Joel they are just too much american 😂
I know who Matthew is! I've been in a few of his classes when he visited outside of NY/Chicago.
This isn't the real Joffrey
what is sab
@@leccionesdevida.podcast it's the school for the NYC ballet company. You can not make the NYC Ballet Co. without going to their school; same as the Royal Ballet Co. in England. You must attend their school.
This will NEVER replace strictly ballet that was the best
Georgina Adam Strictly ballet is the best!!!
Glad you all have enjoyed this new series. Get ready for a full season of Joffrey Elite coming in January!
AwesomenessTV so was it just the one episode so far???
When in January? And will it be on Awesomeness TV or somewhere else?
when exactly?
Imme Schoot Uiterkamp the 20th
Kathryn George the 20th
Yes it's like another Strictly Ballet!!!
beckywiththegood weave I love strictly😂
beckywiththego 9☺ od weave &
Alex Jr. like dance moms
"There ain't no booty poppin in ballet mm hm save that for the club" That is me😂😂😂😂😂
im 61 and studied ballet as a young kid in junior high, high school. then college. during junior high i had to hide this from everybody because I risked being a target for bullies etc. I still persevered because it was a compulsion for me. only later did I realize that it was my love of this art that drove me. don't misunderstand, I am so glad that I did all of this because it made me a better person for it. I am so glad that the prejudice against men dancing is pretty much gone.
these dancers are so much better than the ones from the last ballet show on awesomeness tv omg
YESSSSSS a ballet series
It would be my dream to go there. I love ballet. I did Joffrey's summer intensive and it was great.
The general public have no clue as to the skill and dedication it requires of its participants. The body must be rock hard and yet have the fluidity of water. This form of dance is Art In Motion
I wonder how quickly Maddie Ziegler would get eliminated.
Well, it's not Vaganova Ballet Academy, is it?
It's not even School of American Ballet or the ABT school and neither of them are Vaganova...
Hahaha pfft
I love ballet so much!
Hey it's Valerie me too how long have you done it
Elizabeth Show same !
Hey it's Valerie same!
Im a competitive dancer traaning to become prefessionial ive been dancng since i was 4 im 14 now
I'm auditioning for the Joffrey San Francisco summer intensive this year :))
+LittleKiwiGaming wow. Attention seeker.
That's amazing! GOOD LUCK! :)
vintage.dollies good luck I hope you make it in! :)
vintage.dollies good luck
vintage.dollies what number r you
I went to a Joffrey summer program in Chicago 5 yrs ago. It was one of the best experiences I ever had (aside from being in The Nutcracker once)
am i the only one thinking that they aren't very good?
Mavie Happi These are auditions...
no!
Mavie Happi No they are terrible. Good for amateur dancing though 😊
Mavie Happi there doing things that I do in class and I'm a 9 year old junior
So true
who remembers dance mom's when they all auditioned for this😂
"There ain't no booty poppin' in ballet" XD That's why I'm scared, being a curvy girl, trying to get into it.
Girl, I work with these teachers 3 times a week and I'm a size 16. The 'booty popping' Mr. Prescott is referring to is the placement of your pelvis. Don't ever be scared to live your dreams. There will always be naysayers, but if you love dancing go for it!
Alex Martins You'r an inspiration. Do you make videos?
maybewise I have some singing videos on my other channel but besides that not really. I do have some dancing videos on my Instagram though. FunnyGirlAlex
Alex Martins Thanks.
+Alex Martins 16 in girls
finally a ballet series for dancers or ballet dancers to watch .The original joffrey is here in chicago. #Chicago. 💖
Tanya Artiaga and finally a series for non dancers like myself who just love watching dance and think this should switch places with dance moms to show how it really is in the dance world
im so in love with dance im so glad yall are doing another dance show
Diana Tavares where can I see it
Jasmine Reid a
Diana Tavares
Diana Tavares
these are not real ballet teachers. although flexibility id important ballet isn’t just about getting your legs up. they have no idea what they’re doing, obnoxious af. this isn’t a good ballet school and these students are not good
Everyone has to start somewhere. Don't be rude.
I'm sooo excited for this series ahhhhh!!!!!
Lovely simple exercises. Always great to remind us of the basics to do everyday.
they actually are macking a good ballet series
I'm so excited for this show!! It looks amazing!!
gonna be a good series!
some of these people are pretty bad and really ordinary
Doka Roberts well I mean it's only day 1 soo
no one deserve to be called ordinary!!!! they're doing the best that they can do
Ballet is a difficult thing to master, have you ever heard of nerves...
Doka Roberts, it's only day one, they're stressed out, and I think you've watched waaaaay too much Russian ballet dancers.
most of the “ballerinas” in the video make you wonder how did they end up in the “most credible school in the World” aka 5:00 minute mark
Can't wait to see the next video
ballet is art, there should be no competition about it
When I lived in nyc I attended the School of American Ballet, like Max, so it will be very interesting for me to see how they compete at nationals! Looking forward to it!
i just started ballet and it's hard to do the combos
how long have you been doing ballet?
It gets easier! Push through
though Everyone is saying it gets easier, yes the combos you are learning will get easier but then you'll get harder ones. work hard and the end result will be breathe taking good luck
Omigosh finally a ballet series! I auditioned for Joffrey last year!
Sofia Manriquez cool did you get in?
cp star yes! Although I didn't go because I was saving my money for an intensive this year, I just auditioned for the experience :)
That's so cool!
+Sofia Manriquez bruh what's an intensive? Bc as far as I can see, getting into Joffrey must've been nearly impossible enough!
Legolas Greenleaf i love your pf, lotr/th💕
It's exciting to see the energy and excitement of these young people having a passion toward something, chasing a dream. It's glamorous seeing the winners. Yet, one can't help wonder what happens to all those - the majority of them - who would fail. I can only wish them succeed in their pursuit.
Well some may move on to somewhere else. Some will be told the rest of their life and really not make it.
This is the Original and only Joffrey Ballet School located New York City and Founded by Robert Joffrey in 1952. They also offer world renowned summer dance camps all over the country. Audition now for the summer programs. summer.joffreyballetschool.com
But no longer affiliated with the original company The Joffrey Ballet, correct? The Joffrey Ballet is now in Chicago and the Joffrey Academy feeds into the company. This is "just" the brick & morter left behind with the same name. While it may be a great school it isn't part of The Joffrey Ballet.
The Joffrey in Chicago is the TOURING company and never established as an educational institution. We appreciate your persistence however you are simply incorrect. The only Joffrey Ballet School is in NYC and was founded by Robert Joffrey in 1952. It is the only Joffrey educational institution that teaches Robert Joffrey curriculum.
Joffrey Ballet School you're school is the laughing stock in the ballet world
Dancer21 you might want to check your spelling before you come after someone. Who's the laughing stock now? ;)
Scott Johnson so I can't spell.. I'm sure I can dance circles around your ass so don't mess with me
YESSS LOVE THIS SERIES
None of them spotted when they turned
My sister is in the New York City ballet company and she has also gotten into this kind of program earlier in her life and she loved it totally recommend trying out if you want to!
This is cool. My studio just yesterday held a master class from them that I attended and it was really cool and very informative!!
Very nice, but I still prefer the Russian ballet academies
Love this! Is this going to be a series?
It's so sweet. They are so young and know so little. But they will go on.
Soo glad this came out. Ballet is so beautiful
OMG!!! I saw Max about 3 hours ago! He is a guest performer at my ballet school! He is an amazing dancer and the funniest guy!
i love these instructors so much! this is probably my favorite dance series you've done so far, awesomenessTV. thanks!
Love this series!!
WOW, the level of dedication and discipline is insane!!!
I wish I was them!!!
i audition last year and got in!!! if u want to be one of us/them U CAN DO IT!!! I BELIEVE IN U!!
But I live in Israel
Aim higher plz
Sweet! I go to the Joffery Ballet in Chicago
i have no clue how to do ballet or anything like that but i still got chills from how much stress is in this video
yayyyyy i'm so excited for this 💞💞💞
Aint no booty popping in ballet 😂😂. Aww mannn lol
Kinda dislike the “Survivor” reality show kinda vibe. I don’t know, it just feels kinda sloppy and amateur when ballet is so much more. The two guys talk/hype way too much, and the appreciation for the art itself feels kinda lost. Just my opinion, but I feel like it soils the picture of elegance, consistent grace, grueling work, and mental strength that I feel ballet is really about. It just focuses on the cheap and unimpressive drama side, which is frankly really boring as so many other shows do the same. The way they are portraying the auditions doesn’t do justice to the actual process and art of ballet.
absolutely agree. the elegance is lost.
My friend actually made it into Joffrey for the year program!!! I’m so happy 😁
the two guys seemed so nice and gave amazing corrections. even if you don’t get in you still would have improved by the corrections they gave
ok im not saying they are bad but like there technique isn't that good at all
don't criticize when you can't spell "their" right
To clear some confusion: Joffrey Ballet School (the one depicted in the video) is NOT the prestigious Joffrey Ballet Academy (which was based in NYC but is now in Chicago). While Joffrey Ballet School is a good ballet school, it is definitely not the best in the nation (not even in the top 5) and is far from being the best in the world.
OMG ballet dancers bodies are so beautiful!
LOVE this series omf
girl you know my booty poppin in the club
Yeeeees, balleeeeeet!!! :D
I love dance series definitely going to stay tuned in .. 😍🙂
C.est magnifique tte mes félicitations aux participants......ça m.emeut.........RES-PAIX
Nia in this talks just like Nia from dance moms
Ruudan Phillips hahaha I actually met Nia from dance moms she is the sweetest 💕
10 out of 130 isn’t that competitive. A lot of top programs accept that many out of over 1000 applicants
Joffery had a fascinating background. I discovered he was the son of an Afghan and an Italian immigrant at a time when not many people from Central Asia were immigrating to North America. He took his ballet to Afghanistan in the 1950s, that must've been spectacular. Wish I could have been on that tour.
LOVE THESE
they have bad technique. Look at vaganova
TheLapinDoux vagonova us very different from rad
TheLapinDoux better technique than me
Grace Kelly hiii rad dancer here
When you love Vaganova it's hard watching anything else.
TheLapinDoux because vaganova is rusian ballet and this is more "neoclassic" ballet
they have absolutely terrible technique, a bit sad considering how old they are
J Dun YES! Not a single bit of this amused me, I knew something was wrong.
Yea, none of it looked right. I'm an actress, singer, and model not a dancer but I've been at enough dance events to know that, as you said with how old they are, they should be far better.
so you're saying that you don't know shit about ballet but you know they're bad at ballet? lmfao you're an idiot.
+S's and E's they are there because joffrey new york is not a company/school held in high regard in the ballet world, it's nothing personal
+Kory Kent me? i've been dancing since i was five years old under an instructor from russia, been to joffrey chicago summer intensives multiple times, san francisco ballet as well, believe me when i say these students are not very technically advanced
I love Katherine’s leotard it’s so pretty😍
Me encanta la danza 😍😍
I'm 11 and I've done ballet for 7 years already .... Ballet is fun to me but sometimes I think it's a bit hard
DesireeElaine Martin omg...I relate to this so bad !!!!!
I love ballet so much that's so cool dance i want to go to New York
OMG! Ballet is my favorite too what dance studio do you go to?
Sammy Rocks I do ballet too I go to Fish back dance studio and you guys.
I go to starr studios
Wow, Wilson looks amazing dancing...
I miss my old home here :( Joffrey was some of the best times of my life
ive always wanted to do ballet but sadly im not flexible 😢
Twenty-ninth comment, not that anyone cares, they are so good!
Sophia Yin 12th I think
she is an amazing dancer. I miss her
Very cool to see the process
I got nervous just watching this video
I'm 11 and I did ballet a few months ago I quit because it was too hard I'm so happy for them but instead I do swim
LittleKiwiGaming It's pretty hard to start swimming at an older age, takes a lot more work than starting at a younger age. Good luck!
Emily Swims I'm sorry I didn't specify I stared to swim when I was 5 but then i learned from some lessons and then I'm on the swim team now I KNOW how to swim
Emily Swims so I can swim and I DID start really young so I just tried ballet and not focused on swim but I dropped out from ballet because I wasn't in to it and I focused on swimming again so pls don't act like I can't swim
LittleKiwiGaming Jeez calm down. What's your best event?
Emily Swims ummmm idk I guess my last one cause right after I went home from school my mom said I had skipped a level and went to group silver
Olá sou do Brasil,gosto muito de vocês,amo o canal,parabéns!😘😊
