My favourite moment was hearing the teacher, Olga Evreinoff call Akane, "Akane-Chan". There is something very sweet and mindful about that. Loved this video!
Amazing. Olga Everinoff is the coach and she knows absolutely everything about the choreography and how to make it completely effective. I can't believe that I had the opportunity to work with her a long time ago. I had about as much talent as a potato and yet she was still kind, demanding and patient.
correct name is olga evreinoff, not everinoff - from russian "evrey" meaning "jew". the language situation in this episode is quite comic. all three of the participants in rehearsal are native russians; all ballet terminology is naturally in french, and the rehearsal takes place in england, so olga evreinoff speaks english w/ballet pianist and w/ballet dancers, but they often switch to russian. also, you can hear olga evreinoff calling vadim muntagirov "vadik" - it is a diminutive for "vadim", muntagirov's first name.
The Coach is wonderful, and also I admire how quickly the dancers respond to her suggestions. There seems to be no ego or mental dullness going on, as compared to real life in amateurville. Nice to see professionals!
Miguelito Miguelito watch „Agony and Ecstasy“, here on UA-cam about English National Ballet. 😅 I can‘t imagine how that ballet master is without a BBC team around 😬🙈
@@mathildewesendonck7225 Yeah, I came here right after watching Agony and was shocked that Olga doesn't put down anybody, or doesn't get irritated. I couldn't blv my eyes and ears. True intelligent a person. I'd say aristocrat.
I don't know how old Olga is here but you can still see elegance in every long line of her body. Her arms and hands are beauty in motion. She has forgotten more than most will ever learn and her love of the dance will always shine out of those fortunate to be trained by her.

Read her biography and do the math (spoiler: she's most likely 90+), she's indestructible.
I fully admire and respect Olga Evreinoff to teach Akane-chan with this minute and precise manner. Akane Takada is I believe one of the best dancers for the role of Nikiya with her extraordinary flexible movements and emotional expressions.
Imagine having the passion of your life? You will grow old with soul content of love. The ballerinas, the coach, and pianist , i always think they re doing their job because of love, not money.
I was very young when i saw the ballet in London. Now i am 75. I want to come again & see the ballet. What is the price of a ticket??? Pleas, give me the price for a senior lady . Thanks😄🙏🙏🙏 . I will come especialy from Isrsel.
I’ve watched this video I think more than twenty times and it’s always so mesmerizing and ravishing, as the first time. I think the rehearsals have a life no finished piece has... These dancers are so docile and so easily conform to the instructions, and then everything, every movement, every gesture looks so perfect and brilliant. I love these people. They are art themselves, their bodies, their movements, living masterpieces.
I'm discovering Akane Takada in this video and only today. My God! She has beautiful lines, beautiful face and her dancing i stunning. I don't know how old she is but I think it's time for the ROH to show us people with that inner elegance.
What a treasure Olga Evreinoff is, as is the pianist and of course, the dancers, Osipova, Montagirov and Takada. All are top of the world class professionals and it is such a joy and privilege to be in the room with them, virtually, witnessing this extraordinary coaching session. This is exactly what produces the sterling quality of a Royal Ballet performance, consistently and predictably. Glorious, always! I have watched this video many times, still finding every moment to be worthy of full attention. Evreinoff is really magnificent. Wondering if there are videos of her dancing. I think it was with Leningrad Kirov.
So grateful to the RB for making so many wonderful videos of class and rehearsal/coaching available for us to see. It occurs to me that I hope they film (videotape, whatever) as many as possible, if not all such sessions, throughout the company and repertoire; what a fantastic resource for future dancers, directors, etc. Sadly, we are all mortal, and these treasured professionals, guiding younger generations with all the wisdom, strategy and artistry they've amassed, will not be living and active forever, so capturing all we can of their work seems essential.
I watched the class video and now this one. I really really like how Olga Evreinoff ran her class and runs this rehearsal. She has a very welcoming presence and also gives really meaningful direction that is specific and understandable. The dancers can make the improvement and correction.
Wow did any one else see the other dancer doing the splits in the background. And the dance teachers voice is so soothing. Those ballet dancers are absolutely amazing!!
Barbara LeMere even I understand it, that means something 😅 „High note in the air“, or „don‘t walk to far downstage, you will run into the group“. That’s really useful and easy to follow. Olga is great!! Many ballet teachers can‘t give clear instructions, I don‘t know why
I always took for granted there was lots of work behind ballet but watching this video is just amazing. How they turn in one second from a casual position to the most delicate and sublime movements can only be achieved after many, many years of sacrifice and dedication. As for Ms. Evreinoff, I'm speechless.
These dancers and teachers and musicians are ALL incredible. They are all learning and loving life through music and movement. Such a beautiful gift to watch and listen to.
Royal Opera House thanks for acknowledging Akane - I hadn’t even heard of her before but after watching this video- WOW!!! She deserves to be acknowledged.
@Olga Evreinoff...whew! I simply love watching her in creative space and company classes. She is completely the truth and is sensitive to the work and the artist in her teaching and coaching!!! Also, the musician is doing it!!!!!!! I feel you!!!
If you are interested in this ballet look out for the Paris Opéra’s Nureyev production with Isabelle Guérin, Laurent Hilaire and the impeccable Élizabeth Platel as Gamzatti. Happy watching..
I really enjoyed watching Olga's detailed coaching of Vadim and Natalia. But what also impressed me is that they are all Russians bilingual in English and maybe more languages as well. I think I heard Olga speak French as well in a different video. And I'm also impressed by the other bilingual Royal Ballet stars such as Marienela Nunez and Carlos Acosta.
I don't know anything about ballet. But this is one of the most magnificent and magical things I've ever seen. I think I want to learn to appreciate ballet.
I love watching these. I have never been a ballerina, but it helps me fall asleep at night visualizing ballet. Thank you for these videos beautiful dancing music and coaching. 💕
Gorgeous and Flawless!!💗It's just too mesmerizing to watch Vadim and Natalia even in practice such perfect couple as I enjoyed watching World Ballet Day!!💗
Akane Takada ist amazing ! And artistically perfect for the role :-) I love this Ballet and will be watching it next Saturday in Berlin. I can not wait, feel so blessed for that :-)
Trust me Akane is just fine the way she is! She flies through the air effortlessly. I've seen both Natalia and Akane back to back playing Giselle and for me I found Akaner quite similar to Natalia in physicality .
Trust me I've been a teacher in Japan for 22 years!! More strength training for her legs and core will transform her performance even more and prolong her career. For example at 6'00''......that's all......she's still a beautiful dancer with so much more potential.
First time i see Akana Takada. What a wonderful and lovely ballerina with an Oriental finesse. Perfect ballerina body and enchanting, humble smile. Thank you for posting!
I am watching this again & have a number of the Royal Ballet rehersal videos. Not sure if commented before (can see the like others though 😝) but think I am seeing better what is going on - acting lessons. Marvelous, and enjoying just as much each time. Learning and better appreciating fine ballet. Any dancer with the company has to be good 😏 duh. What sets a story performance apart is the acting thru gesture (for lack of a better word) to tell it w/music & w/o dialogue. And told well, I hear it in the coaching and SEE it reflected in the dancers response - subtleties to incorporate into the extraordinary athleticism of ballet technique. Like the dance isn't difficult enough already. 😒 No dancer here but wish I was & admired ballet from first aware (most likely a Nutcracker on TV 😁) and will never forget my first production company visiting my small town decades ago. Unaware of the 'story' beforehand & w/o live music it was told so clearly the last 3rd was desperately stiffling sobs and blouse wet from streaming tears. Thank you The Royal Ballet for sharing this and these aspect(s) of performances with me, I enjoy every part and revisit the videos. And every time wish there was a full Alice in Wonderland. 😜 Thousands of miles from just the West Coast of North America - if it is there to put on UA-cam, please 🙏. The clips are fantastic!
"Speak, rather than make a position" . . . brilliant
Yes, Russian souls do speak the best when it comes to artistry.
Also, Osipova is very fluent in this language)))
Olga Evreinoff's coaching is gold. This level of detail makes the difference between a generic performance and artistry.

Amazing lady that she studied classical ballet considering her height
yes - ..and it makes me laugh that she calls Natalia Osipove - the absolute prima - Natasha
@@jacquiroche6507 Her advice to Natash is even more laughable
@Bella Adamowicz "you've silly" - go and converse like that with your mother, a poo's smear
Please credit your pianists. They are wonderful artists also and a privilege to watch and hear in rehearsal and class.
SA Lizzie Look in the description. I saw the pianists name...lol
Yeah, the pianist is in the description now.
Yes, I agree - he plays exceptionally well. #27 is a such simple melody in B minor, but he makes the music sing.
They are being filmed by a UK team, isn't that pretty obvious?
@@АлексГржим pianist. not film crew
My favourite moment was hearing the teacher, Olga Evreinoff call Akane, "Akane-Chan". There is something very sweet and mindful about that. Loved this video!
Yes, the word "akane" in Japanese also means a kind of vine with pretty flower, madder.
What does chan mean?
@@akanerosechan5083 It is an informal honorific in Japanese for mainly young people and children.
@@rch5055 thank you!
Martha Petridou -chan is also affectionate and usually, though not exclusively, for females 🙂

Natalia Osipova has such a lovely quality to her movements. A true master of her art and so fun to watch!
What an incredible pianist.
I need Miss Olga to come and talk me through my daily moves in life , she is delightful and gentle
@Kari- just came across this video and your comment. Having her talk one through life would be amazing! She has such a soothing presence.

Nice to see Olga coaching rather than teaching a class. Her corrections are so gentle but so clear 😊
I’m appreciating ballet more because of these rehearsals. So much hard work needed to become an elite dancers.
I was very young when i saw the ballet in London. Now i am 75. I want to come again & see the ballet. What is the price of a ticket??? Pleas, give me the price for a senior lady .

What a beautiful Akane Takada, so deep and sad. Love her, artistic Osipova, Muntagirov and their skillful tutor 💖

My goodness. Everyone is a miracle of humanity’s talent.
God gave different skills to people than just practise it. One can dace, other play musical instrument, good at numbers and so on. Jesus is amazing.
"Speak more than make a position." Very important! Beautiful job by Akane. Really coming together.
Akane Takada has such a beautiful body for ballet, the lines of her long arms and legs look sooo elegant omg
I love Natalia, she is so precise and those jumps are fab, she always looks like she loves what she is doing, Vadim is adorable, so manly and gentle

Oh well she is amazing
Three Russians are communicating in English.
peacefullmaker this made me laugh😂😂
LOL
Because the pianist has to know what’s going on
They are in England dear, of course in English. Unless it’s difficult to explain in English and you want to get a point across.
French and italian keywords too ;)
I love Olga Evreinoff's coaching, you get everything you need to know.

THE MUSIC IS SO INTOXICATING. The teacher...her voice is soo smooth and soothing. I don't like going to the ballet, but I love watching them practice
Sam P right?? i thought i was the only person who thinks this! i enjoy watching the rehearsal process so much more than the actual performance!
Akane’s arm movements are so graceful and beautiful! What a pleasure to watch!
I can’t handle how perfect they are, pianist and instructor included.
8:01 Does she call her "Akane chan"? So cute!! ^__^
Omg I didn't catch that. That's so precious!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, and Natalia she calls Natasha, and Vadim, Vadik at times - affectionate names.
I know there's limited space in the title but there's no excuse for not mentioning Akane Takada in the description either
Artsfiend my thoughts exactly
You're right, sorry we missed this. Her name has now been added to the video description.
Royal Opera House And the title please.
Royal Opera House thanks for acknowledging Akane - I hadn’t even heard of her before but after watching this video- WOW!!! She deserves to be acknowledged.
@@RockyScience She is a principal with the company, and an amazing dancer.

I’ve watched Evreinoff coach dancers with the Royal Ballet several times, and I just am enthralled by the way she works....beautiful!
Vadim is awesome and talented. Love him! Akane is so good and gentle
Takada is AMAZING!!! :O Such a great dancer!
I've never been interested in ballet before. Now I can't stop watching it. It's so beautiful.😘

If you are interested in this ballet look out for the Paris Opéra’s Nureyev production with Isabelle Guérin, Laurent Hilaire and the impeccable Élizabeth Platel as Gamzatti. Happy watching..

Thank you for uploading another video with Akane Takada!
I don’t know anything of ballet. But damn this is amazing. I particularly like Akane’s dancing which I can clearly see the emotion behind.
What a beautiful little dancer Akane is. ❤
This is such an incredible treat. I just want to shoutout the pianist and the teachers!
Love Natalia Osipova❤️
Gorgeous and Flawless!!💗It's just too mesmerizing to watch Vadim and Natalia even in practice such perfect couple as I enjoyed watching World Ballet Day!!💗
Wow! Thank you for uploading your rehearsal. It’s great to see what takes place before the performance. The pianist is marvelous too.
Akane Takada ist amazing ! And artistically perfect for the role :-) I love this Ballet and will be watching it next Saturday in Berlin. I can not wait, feel so blessed for that :-)
I absolutely love watching rehearsals it’s fascinating how the technique is taught as well as giving emotion to the piece
Vadin is so cute too!!
Choreographer----outstanding !
Очень талантливая девушка в образе Никии; также радостно было увидеть на репетиции Наташу Осипову
Bravo Grant Green. My favorite pianist.!
Muntagirov is perfect.I remember him in 2006 in Lausanne
Akane-chan!!!!! beautiful rehearsal
Omigosh these dancers are sooo amazing!!! I loved the girl at the beginning!! Thanks for putting this on youtube!
This teacher is AMAZING! I would LOVE to sit through one of her classes.
May I applaud Mr. Grant Green? Bravo!
I love how she calls her Akane-chan!!
What does that mean?
Chan is just a way of addressing someone in Japanese, because I guess Akane is Japanese
She seems like a great teacher/ choreographer!
Lovely. A respectful and kind teacher. The first dancer was incredible! Very lyrical.
it's so intresting to see the differences from a corps rehearseal to this.
This Is absolutely beautiful and emotional.
Is that akane takada is the beginnng? She's amazing
She needs more muscular strength and stability. It would really transform her dancing. Natalia on the other hand....wow!!!
Trust me Akane is just fine the way she is! She flies through the air effortlessly.
I've seen both Natalia and Akane back to back playing Giselle and for me I found Akaner quite similar to Natalia in physicality .

Perfect ballerina body and enchanting, humble smile.
Thank you for posting!
I think the word Asian would fit better
I totally agree. She is gracious
Damn! I sooo applaud the dancer. Her movements seem perfect to me. Just shows how technical ballet is. This is why very few make it to this level.
qué fuerte Akane, y maravilloso pianista
I so appreciate the lovely camera angles here esp the pas de deux, that high crane view of her arabesques is wonderful.
What a fantastic coach... wow! What an eye for detail.
Loveeee Vadim!
