It is awe inspiring (and devastating) to think of how much support these kids received from their parents. To be 8 years old, or even younger, and have your parents complete support, paying for lessens, shoes, clothes, driving you to class, everything for years and years so you can pursue these dreams. They don't even know if their kid will make it, and yet they're still willing and able to throw the kitchen sink at it. It''s sad to realize most kids don't get that kind of support and opportunity. How many amazing dancers will never be discovered because when they saw that first performance and announced they wanted to be a dancer at 7 years old, their parents said no; either for financial reasons or just thought it was stupid for kid to want to be a dancer? It makes you wonder how many artists, authors, dancers, scientists, doctors, etc never got to be, due to never having the support or opportunity as children? Great, now I'm super depressed.
Silas is such a joy! His obvious love for what he does and his gratefulness is so refreshing!
Yesss! It’s Jesus in him for sure!
The ultimate thing that I take away from this series is the respectfulness of it. They only show the stories of those who make it into the NYC Ballet and the joy of that acceptance alone. They don't try to turn it into the typically silly/dramatic reality show circus of showing a pool of hopefuls and clinically televise the anguish of those who don't make it in a suspenseful showdown that would drink in their tears as if they were the ratings system itself. That's the kind of reality tv I'm used to, so I really appreciate this series for being so very different.
Silas is such a delight:).
I love Silas' attitude
I love re-watching this and seeing how some of the apprentices and corps de ballet members have achieved higher ranks by now.
Male dancers never get the credit they deserve. They lift the women, strain their backs, are solicitous to make the women look good. Thank you beautiful male dancers. Your efforts give us extreme the beauty that is ballet.
I like Silas. Great Dancer and Really Passionate.
I love Silas Farley, Peter Martins, Ashley Hod, Olivia MacKinnon, Georgina Pazcoguin, Claire Von Enck, Jenifer Ringer, and Gretchen Smith.
4:17 "If there's nothing left to burn, you have to light yourself on fire." I LOVE THAT
The joy to get in must be so amazing. The heartache when you don't equally as painful. You been working something since 3-7 years old your heart and mind are set on this one thing the euphoria just to even walk those hallways, to dance in those studios, the gravity of it the chance of you being one of eighty eight chosen is so slim.
Silas is so handsomeee
Claires sister and Ashley Hod are soloists now! 🤩
the guy looks like robert california
I hope that not everyone who wants to pursue something in any art form is being put down like I am. I think people are happy as long as they are doing what they love even if they are not extremely rich.
To Canadians ever get a chance, I know an 11 year old that is a top ballet dancer for her age and she dreams to dance here
They will take any international student into SAB if their technique is what they want they don't hold any prejudice against you if you come from a different country.
very brave and dedicated dancers! awesome!
I hear if I get my apprenticeship soon
Nemmy & Shmarby Trump did u get it
what happened? :)
Well....?
Peter Martins is deeply creepy. There's a Jim Jones quality to him.
powerofalto ikr
yeah. he looks like he could narrate Halloween stories or something.
He reminds me of Robert from the Office
Heard that Andrew Veyette cheated on his ex-wife with Ashley Hod. Kinda weird to see the girl here all high and mighty.
Shes his wife now
No one can start studying dance at 4 years old ,at 4 years old some recreative program let you play in the studio guide and under supervision of a teacher ,who most of the time can't teach ballet ,study ballet is a completely different story ...
At my dance school I started at two. We started working on posture and feet at age 4. We started the bbo curriculum (I live in uk) at about 4 as well. You can go from pre syllabus get up to grade 8 and then it's professional
Why that horse in ballet video?
My dance teacher is Jenifer Ringer
@Sofia R OMFG THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO AHA
I love SJP’s voice!
DO THEY GET A CONTRACT
clau7285 yes Claire and Silas both did
clau7285 Olivia has one now!
That biracial guy is hot!
Wait so you have to go to the highschool then get accepted from the highschool into the job? Someone explain
There is SAB (the School of American Ballet) that most of the dancers in the company attend. After that there is the apprentice program, and it is from there that people are accepted into the company or rejected.
I think that they can be apprentices for 2 years then they are either hired or they have to look for jobs in other companies.
NYCB doesn't hold auditions so the only way to get into the company is through the apprentice program.
PRE PROFESSIONAL AT 7????
city. ballet?
Bv
I don't see ballet elegance in NYCB.not quality.. It's like they are only athletes without being artists.. Not beautiful.
very bad music
Ah, it's good to be a minority in the NYC Ballet.
What about all the abuse and sexual harassment you face as a dancer?
I find Silas absolutely insufferable. He's *so* smug.
