    I enjoy the small things, like when they went into pirouettes I saw the one guy sporting a secret smile in a turn. These small signs that they really enjoy this is what fascinates me beyong everything else.

      She actually could. If you happen to have all the things a ballerina should have. Like flexibility(which you can work on), coordination, the right attitude, the body, strength, picking up combination fast etc. Luckily most of the things you can work on. I know someone that started at 18 and is now studying at the national ballet... She is even better than the ballerina's that started young. So it's truly never to late. As long as you got passion and you work hard. Just hurry a bit haha.

      +MsBabbi I really wish Yuhui could be promoted to Principal. I agree she is an exquisite dancer, so graceful and light, but I do think she has 'star quality', too. Perhaps the RB doesn't see that extra charisma or whatever in her? Too timid maybe? There obviously are a lot of components necessary to make a great Principal, but I really think she's got whatever it is (although I'm just a ballet fan, not the Director, of course!). Ah well, at least she gets some good solos.

    Just as a sort of interesting point - many years ago, I was working for Epsom Coaches and on quite a few occasions I had the pleasure of picking up the students and teachers from White Lodge and take them wherever - on one occasion I was about 15 minutes late and as I drove in one very serious looking lady told me off in front of the waiting dancers, about 13 years of age, and I felt like a very naughty schoolboy!! Talk about "put in my place". Anyway, she gave me a cup of tea when I got them all safely back! I appreciate all the hard work and pain these dancers endure to achieve their goal.

    You know, watching this I really regret dropping from ballet when I was a teen. Now at 30 it’s too late.
    I never wanted to dance professionally but I had such a blast doing it. I have to confess I am a bit envious of those guys.

    This was very helpful. I think sometimes as a young ballerina you can be very hard on yourself if you have bad class, so it is really nice to see even the pros have it hard in class sometimes. Thank you +Royal Opera House :)

    Natural ability and good bones/flexibility/ and body ratios ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT than an eternity of practice. I was in ballet....and I can vouch for this fact. It's a rare ballet dancer or student, who can attain the level of a world class dancer despite all the practice in the world!!!!

      +2kooldancin Brown? You mean Asian? I've never really heard anybody call an Asian person 'brown', but maybe it is okay, also, since you did not mean it in a bad way, clearly, but still. I guess if we can use 'white' and 'black', 'brown' is no different? Hmmm.

    • @2kooldancin
      @2kooldancin 8 років тому +55

      +Ovaer - Call of Duty actually, the dancer I was referring to, Francesca Hayward, IS brown. She's biracial. Black and white. But there are brown Asian people too. Many Filipino and Thai people have beautiful brown skin. There's absolutely nothing wrong with brown skin :)

    • @Idreamtobreakaway
      @Idreamtobreakaway 8 років тому +2

      +2kooldancin Actually, Asians call them dark skin, not brown. Better to say fair or tan, or dark, lest we offend anyone ;)

    Their different attire is quick confusing, I thought that a simple dress code was required.
