Petition to have an entire show with this guy narrating like this, maybe I’d finally understand what happens in the Nutcracker
omg yes!
Signed 😂
I need this aswell
It also makes it 10x funnier
Yes please
OK, this made me realise that ballet is just elegant charade 😅
Pantomime.
You realize I’m never going to be able to watch a ballet again in my life without this guys voice in my head narrating every gesture. 😂
@@crystalm4324 and the voice will make up random shit that is probably not happening 😂
Basically
I do ballet so yeah it is, we had a yeah where we did seasons
It really is 😊
"Clara took her shoe off and banged him on the head!!!" LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“I have been saved. Thank you thank you” lol
When I say I started chocking on my water 😂 😂😂😂.
@@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink Right!!! Lol!!!
Bro my name is clara
forget football commentary. this is pure gold! also even better it looks like he genuinely has just a shirt on
Fellow zebra! And I agree
I do not understand why the women get to wear lovely costumes and the men so often have to look like their clothes were painted on LOL
@@Cec9e13 lmao fr, the pants caught me off guard every time
@@pfft-4955yep, the tights are bad enough that they have to wear things called “dance belts”. Which is essentially a thong to protect their privates 😅
@@Cec9e13this is clearly a rehearsal lmao, they all wear boring outfits
This is what it sounds like when I watch classical ballet with my mom.
You are one lucky guy to have someone to teach you!! If I knew this, I sooo would've appreciated the ballets I've seen in the past! 😊
That’s so sweet!
😅😅😅😅 you win today
Some people need SL interpreters. I need this guy. 😂
I need this in ASL.
Schools should teach sign language and ballet should have a narrator.
Would help so many people
SL* On the world wide web it’s better to use the global term rather than the American
@@banina1836 Indeed, I overlooked that fact!
Over there. Mice.
Something about that made me smile 😅
Up! help please! Clara... took her shoe off and banged him in the head
I like how it's all 1 word phrases or nice ballet terms until he just says that whole sentence lol
I’m so sorry when I saw this I thought he wasn’t wearing pants and literally threw my phone 😭😂😭
👁️ 👄 👁️
OMG SAME
Have you guys (that write comments like this) ever seen a naked person, specifically a man?
He's not a Ken doll, incase you got confused by that...
@@PichDextro I mean considering a large chunk of social media users are kids…
@@udontevenwannaknowbruv Fair point
honestly it takes a lot to be able to convey that much through movement alone, huge props to him for not only being extremely flexible but also understanding his cues so well
Hum... Would you really understand anything without the narration?
@green mayo man🇺🇦 HI!!! youre everywhere you have fantastic taste in videos
i spent the entire video thinking he wasn't wearing pants
Same I had to keep looking down like "He's still wearing pants. Wait am I sure? Okay those are pants"
👍😂 the color of this pants is terrible
Did you think he was a Barbie???
Mans a Ken doll
And you watched ? Sus
They did him dirty with those pants, we all thought he wasn't wearing any 😭
they're boys ballet tights. Its kind of like leggings for guys
It’s traditional to wear those tights
I loved the "chomp chomp" movement he did with his mouth + isolated movements of his arm and body when he did the chomps. It was cool to see how well he was able to give the impression of a real nutcracker with such a fairly simple set of motions 👏
His ‘Pants’✨🕺💀
When you dance the nutcracker annually, you think people are weird for not knowing the story of it, or not knowing the entire ballet, or not understanding the art of it, the tradition, and the feeling down if you don’t do it…..
When you then realize your the weird one….
no this 😭 I did it every year all growing up and once I stopped dancing I still went to see it every year so I forget everyone isn’t intensely familiar with the story lmao
Well I have never danced the nutcracker nor have I ever seen it live, yet I know and understand the story.
I think it's a little odd they don't know. It's pretty iconic to even those who aren't immersed in the arts.
Well aren't you special
I’ve loved ballet since I was a kid and I still get goosebumps while watching the swan lake. I don’t know how people don’t get the story. Like the nutcracker, it’s so simple. I can literally write the whole story in just a few lines.
I would love a break down like this for more variations/dances!!❤
WHOA!! That is so cool!! I mean, I know there's a story to a dance, but I had NO idea it was so defined move by move! Okay, I obviously showed my ignorance, but I have a feeling I'm not the only one. Um, if I am, just disregard my last sentence. 🙄 Thank you for sharing this!! 🤗❤
You're definitely not the only one. Though you should know, that there's only certain parts of a ballet that are like this. There's a sort of ballet pantomime that happens when one character is conveying information to another. The rest of the time, they're just dancing out what's happening. Here the nutcracker is telling one of the people they meet on their journey what happened to get them to where they are. But at the parts where this is actually happening, it wouldn't be that sort of defined move by move pantomime.
there’s also specific moves that mean certain things across all classical ballets (let’s dance, princess or queen, married, etc.). it’s sort of like ballet sign language!
As a kid, I mocked ballet. But I grew up respecting the art; to have such finesse and steadiness for a dance like this takes so much hard work. ❤
OMG THAT LEAP/TRIP BRO THAT WAS SO GOOD, AND HE WAS SO LIGHT ON HES FEET. DUDE GET INTO IT
He made it look so effortless and when I get out of bed I break my hip. 😭
Love this!! I've never seen it broke down like this!!! He's absolutely gorgeous as well!!!
I… have been ✨saved✨
Such presence and great storytelling through the body
Such presence... of bulge
All ballet shows need this. Please, make it happen!!
In the hour preceding the opera and ballet, the Opera House, offer lectures upon the subject of the night's performance - that specific great work. These lectures are free with the price of admission, even if you're doing a 7 dollar standing room ticket 🎫!!
High art requires engagement and participation from the audience. The audience must become educated, in order to properly understand and appreciate the form. People wrongly assume that fine art is exclusive based on class, but it really isn't.
If you're motivated, there are always cheap and free ways to attend/participate and learn. It's elite, in that having a full and true understanding requires you to develop a full body of knowledge on the subject, as well as literature, history, visual art, all of the art forms from music to plays, and at least a rudimentary/passing knowledge of the sciences, maths, physics, engineering, calculus, etc...how the world mechanically, physically works.
But one doesn't need to have attained this level of erudition immediately, to enjoy the ballet, or any other high art. One very obviously, cannot. One amasses a body of understanding such as this over a decade to start, and then a lifetime truly. Thankfully, one can and should have the great pleasure of enjoying the form the entire time.
It's simply that, as your understanding grows, so too will your enjoyment. You'll be shocked at all of connections you'll make, how they deepen the profundity of the meaning of what you've just watched, and your awe, disbelief at, and admiration for what the composer and choreographer had had the genius to have the foresight and virtuosic skill to actually have been able to spin into their magnificent loomwork, which would eventually become the stunning, complete and compelling tale, lain out before you, as a refulgent, gorgeous blanket of a thousand variegated tiny, blazing colors, all knotted into a cohesive whole.
But, this is helpful in a very immediate, emotionally moving, clear way. So, I agree. They should offer this, as part of the education/lectures, consistently!! VERY GOOD IDEA💡 BRAVA DIVA!! 💯👏😊❤️❤️❤️
The Nutcracker in a nutshell 😂
Imagine if we all communicated through dance like this.
Legit every ballet dancer in the audience watching has this narration when seeing gesturing and character work. 😅 i love it. Having insider knowledge of the “dialogue” gestures. Bc then in intermissions ppl like so what exactly happened? Lol 😂
Omg it took me a second to realize that the chomping meant he was the wooden nutcracker toy at that point and clara was asleep 😂
what's thte name of the dancer? He is great!
Leo Dixon I believe
*🤨vine boom🤨sound effect🤨*
Now now be honest y'all we all looked down there at some point.
or several
It's all I could see
The whole time for me 🤷♂️
I looked up at some point. Then down again.
I have no idea what your talking about😅
That was the prettiest trip I’ve ever seen
The strength and precision to be a professional ballet dancer is insane. I can never get over their legs its amazing
He’s face is bewitching, and so stunning overall. I could watch him do anything for hours on end.
He’s beautiful
Omg, he's stunningly beautiful
Why nobody talking About that cake tho? 🎂
Completely off topic but this dancer’s legs are absolutely stunning, downright statuesque.
Thank you, with comment i finally understand the dance
his pants tho 🫣
Strong meme potential
for a second i thought they didn’t have any pants on
As Dylan Mulvaney said, "normalise the bulge"
Who they? You know perfectly well that this is a man.
@@AA-cf4es Well we can never be sure lol. We are NORMALISING THE BULGE YEAHHHHH.... for women
“ they “ ??? He is a singular man refer to him as he
@@shinhwa1328 shut up, transphobe
I loved this. “But I! Called the guard..
That's the most graceful trip I have ever seen
I'm sorry, I just can't. Look at that cake. Perfection
OMG so true
Doctor Kim Dan 😮
Please tell me your name is not "Patricia"
@@ethanfields3853 why does it matter what my name is? 😂
Omg…I’ve been waiting so long to see a voice over for ballet! This is awesomeness! ❤❤❤
I love these! It helps me understand so much more of ballet
I really liked the pantomine of the Nutcrackers motion. Weirdly satisfying.
This is so beautiful and I love hearing the storytelling with the dancing, but also it's kind of an entire meme 🤣
First things first it takes real skill to make something so difficult look as easy as and effortless as that, his movements flow so well that even someone that knows nothing of this kind of thing like myself is instantly captivated.
Secondly…. I mean come on hes so gorgeous! Like what 😮?!? And that behind 😏 it’s just all just wow 😍
They should put subtitles on a projector somewhere. This makes so much more sense
What a beautiful interpretation!, aren’t they amazing?
I’ve seen the nutcracker ballet a dozen times… it makes more sense now.
This just made ballet so much more accessible for me, wow. Would love more of these
This is legitimately the first time I ever realized that the movements told the story.
I didn’t know ballet had its own language
Every dance is telling a story. Isn't that cool?
@@bodyofhope very much so
I used to watch this ballet every year as a kid, and never once understood the dance themselves had storytelling like this. I'm definitivt watching it again this year!
For some reason I cannot get over the fact that he sounds like the ballet Gordon Ramsey 🤦♀️😭
Like “..and banged him on the head” 😂😂😂
Ballet is basically a big game of charades telling a story
Omg- DANCERS are fantastic the complete control of the body is amazing - ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing dance
On point performance there, man. Perfection.
Poetry in motion just stunning & beautiful,bravo,bravissimo💥👊👏👏👏❤️💯⭐️💯👋✌️
The bellerino is amazing
I am always in awe of people who have this ability. Some people are dancers, others are movers, and some of us … well, let's just saw we can walk without falling over (usually).
My man is double cheeked up
Oh, THATS why girls love shoes so much!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
so graceful
He’s so good! I couldn’t do that. I’d be embarrassed!!🤣🤣
Can we do a bad "lip reading" version of this lol
“Over there… mice!” 😂😂😂
More of him, please!
This commentary is EVERYTHING.
Ahh so this is what my mum meant when she said they are literally telling you the story! Obviously I could get the right story from watching but I didn’t realise there was a whole language! Kinda want to watch Coppelia all over again 😂
Gorgeous dancer and dancing!
This is how i narrate football games. 😂
i genuinely enjoy watching ballet (only the specific story ones like the nutcracker and that though, lol) but i would equally pay to see a whole performance narrated like this. the drama of the normal performance plus humour from narration man… honestly i am curious to see the dracula ballet i last saw like this.
"talking" with gestures in ballet is so interesting lol
THIS IS SO FUNY IDK WHY
When I used to do Afro Caribbean dancing, my instructor would tell us to create a story out of our dance moves. so while we were doing very quick, rapid routines, we would make up these little stories about chasing our pets, running late to school, etc. This was such a lovely reminder to all those memories 🥹🥹🥹
King. PAS DE BOUREE. Has me howling 😆😂🤣
live-action storytelling is an important art we need more of!!
May I introduce you to ✨pantomimes✨
holy shit when he said up trip and the moment after... he was FLOATING
He Is gorgeous!
trip = most elegant leap
Jesus he did this beautifully. The light landings, the full finger awareness - and that quick "up" seemed physically impossible.
This is so great, dancer is excellent. Loved every second ❤
That is the most graceful “bang” I have ever seen
Classical dance styles around the world are so similar. I am learning an Indian classical dance style called Odissi and some gestures are similar and the isolation of body parts for movement.
This dudes got ✨cake✨
Wow. Oh so that’s how that worked. I had a hard time analyzing ballet for years
They need to wear different color leggings.
Why?😅
They never do though :|
No they don’t it’s beautiful
it is done on purpose, especially when they train so that every muscle can be seen.
My husband came in and asked "why are you watching a man do ballet with no pants on? Porn for women is wild" 😂
I love the way thats ballet dancers think
Handsome 💜
And a massive package - must be hung like a donkey
The random steps thrown into the narrative flow is really tickling me 😂 also it's weird to have the realisation that people don't know that ballet can be super informative in this way (with gestures) bc I've grown up doing it - I just though people knew!
If I could only fall so gracefully
Time appears to slow down when he jumps. Marvelous
I love it when people explain what the moves are saying. So many people don't realise that you're still telling a story in these shows. With my memory I can only ever remember the obvious ones though 😂😂
The narration is hilarious (but the dancing is spectacular)!
Such power and grace
I THOUGHT HE WASNT WEARING PANTS FOR A SECOND 😭
Ngl his pants are the definition of don’t look down 😅💀
BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤ THIS IS MY FAVORITE BALLET
