Just wanted to leave a comment here to say this is the first ever video I watched on UA-cam back when I was in school, and the inspiration for me to start ballet classes. It wasn't an easy task to find a ballet school in a developing country at a time when barely anyone in the country knew what ballet was. But my child self persisted in the days of slow internet to find a ballet class two hours away from me. Fast forward to now, I have completed my ballet training and have taught for a few years too. And I still continue to dance in my leisure time. I cannot emphasise enough how much nostalgia this video brings me and how grateful I am that Anaheim Ballet was one of the very first UA-cam channels to make ballet accessible to a global audience!
I am a dancer and I'm getting my pointe shoes in January, so I found Anaheim ballet from my dance instructor and it has really helped me and inspired me. But I can't believe ANYONE would thumb this down! LIke, I can barely do a double perioutte and they can do, like, 5!
Forget the thumb's down people, they have no talent.....I've been to 1 ballet....and was the only one who liked it....well, maybe I should say appreciated it. I love to watch professionals do what they do....weather it's a dancer or a doctor....the best of the best entertains me. The second these dancers move....I can tell they've put in a LOT of time and dedication. To totally commit to anything is a sacrifice to be sure....but those who succeed are a minority. It must be grueling, hard work to get to this level. I totally appreciate these dancers showing how graceful a human can be on a completely solid surface.
Balletlover Amelia I use to go here but I don't like ballet no more my other ballet school even offer me an audition for something then they ask me to do point and I thought I was terrible and they thought I was good for first try so they keep offering me the audition then I went to Anaheim ballet but quit after one year cuz I was getting tired I have soo much classes in one hand
They do it on pointe shoes, it is really easily. It is standard skill to make double pirouette to the left and to the right. And make more force with your hands, and keep you leg turned. That is all🙂

I was obsessed with this video when I was growing up. I remember pausing it at the beginning and waiting patiently for like 10 minutes for it to load completely, so I could watch it without interruptions.
Ballet is my life. Watching this is SOOOO inspiring... People didn't think I could do ballet like I can because I am a bigger dancer and even being bigger doesn't mean you shouldn't chase after your dreams... And I just got my pointe shoes and I start on pointe on Tuesday! :)
Thank you Dancers for all of your hard work, discipline, blood, sweat, tears, and passion! You delight us with your wonderful gift and humble us with your extraordinary abilities to bend the body into a work of art.
It takes so much hard work, discipline and pain to do what these mean and women are doing. I really admire them for their patience and willingness to keep working.
من كنت كولش صغيرة كانت أمنيتي أتعلم رقص البالية وكنت اقلد حركاتهم بس للاسف من كبرت شفت المجتمع إلي إني بي ميساعد ولا يتقبل رقص البالية وغيرة ،،لكن تبقى امنيتي! انشالله أعلم بنتي بالمستقبل مو شرط تطلع أمام الناس ترقص! وانما شئ خاص بيهة لأن من اتفرج ع راقصات البالية أروح بغير عالم وإذا مكدرت أحقق هذا الشئ انشالله بنتي
misty copeland started at 13, and another very famous dancer whos name i cant remember started at 15! it is never too late! if you are passionate about something, then nothing can stop you from achieving your goal.
I love ballet. I am done dancing for life b.c. of a severe injury. I still tihnk it is a beautiful way to express yourself so that everyone can understand..
To me ballet is one the most beautiful forms of art. Yes I said art. I do not consider it a dance but an art. The way these people express themselves with each spin and jump is absolutely magnificent. I wish I had the tenacity to learn how to do this.
When you start doing ballet, there are times that you wish to quit, you wish that you had never started ballet at the first place. But life is a challenge and sometimes you just have to go for it. but the feeling of thinking that you actually achieved sth, worth everything, worth all the pain and hard work and mistakes and the times when the teacher yelled at you in front of the class... It is impossible to explain and I believe only ballerinas can understand it. You can read the rest on top
NEVER EVER STOP DANCING! A few years ago I did point ballet and I use to be REALLY flexible. But ten I quite and here I am regretting I quite. So don't stop! Keep moving forward with whatever form of dance u dream to master. Happy trails :)
This is what makes me proud to be a ballet dancer. This is what makes me happy when I attend my training when I could be hanging out with my friends, watching tv, or relaxing. Non-dancers don't realize how many sacrifices that dancers have to make
I've always dreamed of becoming a ballerina, even until now but we don't have money to enroll in classes. I admire ballet dancers so much. They are so strong and at the same time very graceful. Best kind of dance to ever exist. :)
I'm in agreeance with you. I don't think it's understood how much you have to isolate muscles and hw much balance you have to have in order to dance ballet. I think it's so beautiful and such a graceful form of art but I love all types of dance :-)
The thing is, the more I watch these videos the more I tell myself I should practice ballet more often but I just end up sitting right in front of the computer watching these videos!!!
People who do ballet are amazing. It takes more concentration and toned muscle to balance your body for a perfect pirouette than any other sport. Wish I could do half the things those ppl in the video are doing but I haves no body muscles :D
try streching your hamstrings by doing extensions at the bar. grab your heel and try to extend it then pull it as close as you can twards your ear. when you are actully doing the kicks also try squeezing your things as this forces the muscles to contract and in return make your leg go higher. hope this helps!!!
I'm 13 and a girl started at the same time and she was 16 our teacher said it doesn't matter what age we are just how much effort we put into our dancing
That reminded me of a quote my teacher had on his shirt the other day 'If ballet was easy it would be called football' totally had me cracking up. It was great.
Absolutely amazing. :) how beautiful, so much skill & strength poised in such a graceful delivery, ballet & its performers ...WoW! U guys & gals rule. Cant wait to watch a performance live one day, god bless.
@dancejmk i think that the strength a male ballerina has is amazing and a lot of people underestimate this, I have done scottish country dance since i was 7 (now 14) and understand how hard it is and then after laughing at things like the scottish step pas de basque they rely on help from the girls like me. They cant understand how hard it is and how straong you have to be. I'm glad that someone shares my opinion :)
I wish I had a chance to take Ballet classes but when I was around 10 my mum told me that I'm too old to start it so... I got into street dance but I love ballet ... beautiful -3
Start with becoming very good at multiple pirouettes. After that its just a matter of learning how to whip out your leg in the fouette and bringing it around again.
When i was twelve I was terrible at dancing and had very poor balance. Ballet really improved my balance, strength, and endurance. But it takes alot of hard work. Trust e you can do it ;)
Hot dayummmm,thats all i could say about the video,the performance and the sound/music.......nay let me add couple more words in appreciation,Brilliant and Beautiful.

I'd love to see a video of "Where are they now?" and see them dancing again 😍😍😍
Gorgeous! Ballet dancers have the most beautiful bodies of any athlete! What a gift!
Holy shit, that Asian guy FLIES!! you dancers are AMAZING!

I'm starting eleven days from being fourteen, and planning to go professional (:
I really love Anaheim Ballet dancers :)

So glad for the diversity
cyberpragya ...That's stupid.
cyberpragya what diversity? Gender? Fuck off mate, ballet is for both genders
Fernanda - Exceedingly so...
@@merrymaurader8283 pretty sure they meant the ethnic diversity.
Jacky Star ballet is for all ethnics
Misty Copeland being one of the most attractive females in ballet
i love hearing violin used in songs what is the song called? :D
Thank you Dancers for all of your hard work, discipline, blood, sweat, tears, and passion! You delight us with your wonderful gift and humble us with your extraordinary abilities to bend the body into a work of art.
I love ballet
I love BALLET !!!!!!!
No Dislike BALLET
It takes so much hard work, discipline and pain to do what these mean and women are doing. I really admire them for their patience and willingness to keep working.

Ballet in my blood.
This male dancer with the brown shirt and red headband is absolutely amazing! His jumps are truly outrageous! Respect to him from the Netherlands
lol can you take ballet at 17
Definitely
yeah its never too late to start ballet 😉
I love watching ballet. I myself never had the privilege of learning, I'm 18 now, it's too late, but I still love watching such talent.
It's never too late
misty copeland started at 13, and another very famous dancer whos name i cant remember started at 15! it is never too late! if you are passionate about something, then nothing can stop you from achieving your goal.
I really respect the girls who do it...I'm always watching their legs on pointe. Its beautiful. And their balance in pirruetes is amazing!!
stunning collection of dancers showing what they can do - thanks for this
I love ballet. I am done dancing for life b.c. of a severe injury. I still tihnk it is a beautiful way to express yourself so that everyone can understand..
I have such an admiration for ballet dancers. The guy with red bandana was spectacular! My body couldn't do this even if I had a magic wand lol
To me ballet is one the most beautiful forms of art. Yes I said art. I do not consider it a dance but an art. The way these people express themselves with each spin and jump is absolutely magnificent. I wish I had the tenacity to learn how to do this.
I used to watch this video religiously when I was a kid... Finally found it again after many years and it brings back so many memories :)
wow this is a great video and those are great ballet dancers. this video can really open peoples eyes and show them how amazing and hard ballet is.

how can you be so strong, but at the same time be so easy as a feather?
Ballet is simply just a gift those people were born to have.
I wish I'd stuck with ballet... 13 years and the fouete turn was still elusive, y'all look gorgeous
deserves a lot of respect. It may seem prancy and such, but ballet dancers are the most athletic people in the world..
I LOVE THAT MOVE AT THE END! It is like up then down then tip! This is TALENT!
The music coupled with the dancing keeps me coming back to this page
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Absolutely AMAZING!
I wanted to take ballet classes when I was younger, but there weren't any ballet studios in my area.
It takes a lot of hard work to make things look so beautiful and effortless !
it's funny because it looks so painless and simple but oh boy is there so much work that goes into this
Breathtaking, isn't it? Seemingly effortless yet unimaginably complicated.
I've always dreamed of becoming a ballerina, even until now but we don't have money to enroll in classes. I admire ballet dancers so much. They are so strong and at the same time very graceful. Best kind of dance to ever exist. :)
ASDFGHJKL; you are all AMAZING dancers! The way you can land in those positions perfectly is... woah! I am sooooooo jealous right now!!!!!
her fouette turns are flawless
I have probably watched this video 100 times but something about it is very spirit lifting. I am dancer and definitely look up to these people!!! :)
I'm in agreeance with you. I don't think it's understood how much you have to isolate muscles and hw much balance you have to have in order to dance ballet. I think it's so beautiful and such a graceful form of art but I love all types of dance :-)
Ballet is truly an art, for those engaged in ballet, it is more than dancing but instilling discipline to oneself
When I dance I forget everything and I get lost in another world I hope to as good as these dancers some day
i remember this video from yeaarrrsss ago! so nostalgic!
i'm 11 and have only been doing ballet for 2 years, but love it so much! never gonna quit!
I used to be a ballet dancer but then I stopped. I'm thinking about doing ballet again. Its just so beautiful :)
Wow! I guess after the pain go away your hooked on this style of dance. Ouch!! I respect your dance values........
ive always wanted to be a ballet dancer never got round to doing it, to old now but love watching them perform
These dancers love what they do and suffer for their passion. Respect
if i could turn back time i would of never quit dance cause ballet had always been my favorite
The thing is, the more I watch these videos the more I tell myself I should practice ballet more often but I just end up sitting right in front of the computer watching these videos!!!
Amazing! Beautiful! Superb! The guy in the bandana is brill!
OMG!! i remember watching this video 4 years ago this video made me dedicate my LIFE to ballet.
I'm about to start taking Hip Hop, Tap ,Jazz,and Ballet . I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on dancing Girl!
People who do ballet are amazing. It takes more concentration and toned muscle to balance your body for a perfect pirouette than any other sport. Wish I could do half the things those ppl in the video are doing but I haves no body muscles :D
So beautiful. Ballet for me, is one of those dreams that got away.
Ballet is simply a beautiful sport that requires a combination of grace, strength, flexibility and agility. Absolutely mesmerizing.
O.o how are they so flawles???? they don't even travel with their pirouettes!!! that's crazy!! makes me want to go back even more.
try streching your hamstrings by doing extensions at the bar. grab your heel and try to extend it then pull it as close as you can twards your ear. when you are actully doing the kicks also try squeezing your things as this forces the muscles to contract and in return make your leg go higher. hope this helps!!!
i've watched this 1000 times, never get tired of it!
Anaheim ballet, where are you? we need a new video, please! you are the best!
I'm 13 and a girl started at the same time and she was 16 our teacher said it doesn't matter what age we are just how much effort we put into our dancing
That reminded me of a quote my teacher had on his shirt the other day 'If ballet was easy it would be called football' totally had me cracking up. It was great.
i love ballet. people under estimate it, its much harder than it looks and takes alot of strength.
Omg those are the cleanest pirouettes I've ever seen
I have been participating in the graceful art since i was 3 years old! I believe i am the best in the family. :) You guys are awesome!
Absolutely amazing. :) how beautiful, so much skill & strength poised in such a graceful delivery, ballet & its performers ...WoW! U guys & gals rule. Cant wait to watch a performance live one day, god bless.
pretty video , like & love it! I was studying dance many years & I admire dancers so much 😍😊👣.

what incredible and graceful figures
I think we all experienced our own ballet today. A ballet of emotions, feelings.
I always wanted to know how they theach the pirouettes, because all of them have amazing pirouettes !
in my opinion, this is the most famous ballet video in the world
I wish I had a chance to take Ballet classes but when I was around 10 my mum told me that I'm too old to start it so... I got into street dance but I love ballet ... beautiful -3
Wow this is an amazing video it really inspires me to work so much harder in ballet class!
Omg they are so good like the pirouettes... I can't do that!

When i was twelve I was terrible at dancing and had very poor balance. Ballet really improved my balance, strength, and endurance. But it takes alot of hard work. Trust e you can do it ;)
Pointe shoes are so beautiful!
They are so graceful
you are amazing. I already love you!
Keep going and dont let anything stop you from doing what you really want to do!
Unbelievable!!Such technique and perfection=)
I wish i could dance that graceful!!!
Hot dayummmm,thats all i could say about the video,the performance and the sound/music.......nay let me add couple more words in appreciation,Brilliant and Beautiful.
These people are so incredible!
You're never too old to take ballet!
That is an awesome video. I love ballet dancers! So cool!
