    Thank you for another enchanting and funny video! This is a rare combination and you to do it very well. I smiled the whole way through!
    Jordan, congratulations on winning by a touchdown!
    Eden, you displayed great sportsmanship!
    I love how you added to the beautiful scenery aesthetic by having your ponytails slung over your respective shoulders, and you added the colour-matching mugs with the initials on them. 🤩
    The only one of those variations I guessed was Carmen. I have not even heard of some of the ballets you mentioned so I have some research to do. Thank you!
    My favourite all-time Carmen, who can never be replaced in my heart but I am willing to watch many ballerinas just in case, is East Germany's Katarina Witt, who became a double Olympic gold medalist in figure skating in the 1988 Olympics! (There was no figure skating team competition back then, so there was only one medal available per individual skater or per couple. Kati had won the 1984 Olympics as well.)
    Katarina's Carmen is legendary: ua-cam.com/video/g7Ago3RRV6I/v-deo.html
    The pairs gold medal was won by equally legendary Soviets Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov, who skated their short program to a Carmen medley: ua-cam.com/video/ObXthZ7UECc/v-deo.html

    This was charming. I'm embarrassed to say I would have gotten all but 2 with maybe 2 seconds of the music but very much enjoyed nerding out. Could you possibly list where the clips came from? I've never seen a full Paquita or more of Laurencia than that variation. I recognized Osipova, Novikova, and a very young Obravtsova (Cupid, right?) but missed a few of the others. Well done!

    Actually, there are two Coppélias.
    In the original one created by Arthur Saint-Léon in Paris 1870 and danced by Giuseppina Bozzachi, this variation is in the third act ok, but it is Franz’s variation according to Pierre Lacotte who settled the forgotten ballet for the Paris Opéra company in 1974.

    I got only the Sleeping beauty, Coppelia and Cinderella right.
    I see you have probably a preference for certain ballets, as much there had been for example Don Quixote, or you indeed only tried to find the toughest things to guess (;. I wish there would have been more Tchaikosvky, this would have perhaps improved my score (;

      @@balletreign This would be awesome - especially as there are so many beautiful and iconic variations in Tchaikovsky's ballets (though, there are always personal preferences, as I'm simply not so much team Minkus and I don't see it as much from a dancer's view, but rather with story focus;-and of course, also Delibes, Prokofiev and Adam should not be underrated (; ). I would have guessed (almost) all these variations from (only) the picture (yet, not through the music), and I have also recognized various productions , such like Raymonda is from La Scala, Cinderella from Royal Ballet, Sleeping Beauty Royal Ballet, Le Corsaire from Mariinsky or Coppelia from Bolshoi Ballet. I'm not sure whether this is easier as the music or not, but perhaps this could be also a dancer game idea (;
