I have seen dancers slip and fall, ballerinas get dropped or throw themselves out of their partners’ hands. It is a physical activity and stuff happened even to the best of them. One of the sweetest things I ever saw happened because of a near disaster on stage to Lesley Collier of the Royal Ballet and Rudolf Nureyev. In act 3 of Fille mal guardee, there is a “bum lift” when the boy lifts the girl way up over his head seated on one of his hands. One can only imagine how precise that has to be, perfect placement of both dancers, the strength of the boy to raise her up fast enough and straight enough, how steady she has to hold herself up there! Well, something went wrong and Miss Collier came tumbling down. Nureyev realized and reacted and (thank God) caught her in a tangle in his arms before she hit the floor, but there was no way to save it. He held her safe while she untangled herself and they went on, but the expression on his face was devastated. You could tell that he held himself responsible for whatever happened. Even during the curtain calls, the way he looked at her was so touching, so sorrow filled. So when she went forward for her first call and several little bouquets of violets and baby’s breath lit on stage, she picked one up and, like a little child, carried it back, giving it to him. I never saw him do again what he did next. He took her face into his hands and gave her the gentlest, most chaste kiss imaginable. I felt SO privileged to be a witness to that absolutely pure moment of compassion and gratitude that I will always treasure it beyond the otherwise wonderful performance!

I've loved ballet all my life, but never realized how physical it was until I was standing in the wings, waiting for my jazz dance routine, and saw the ballerinas on pointe at eye level! It's harrowing to see it up close. One dancer did slip but recover. I thought, "Man, if the world was fair ballet would be in the Olympics."

[@francesatea5796]

Exactly! Ballet is an actual sport. Ballerinas are athletes. Ballet is honestly in my opinion one of the hardest sports in the world. Just because it looks graceful and pretty doesnt mean its not difficult. If anything it makes it more challenging because you have to use an exorbitant amount of muscles and body strength while at the same time making it look effortless and graceful. #BRINGBALLETTOTHEOLYMPICS

[@CrystalViolent]

@@francesatea5796 I agree with you that it takes as much athleticism, training, dedication, etc. as any other sport. But it also takes something else. Look at what's happened to figure skating--it's become a jumping competition, and the artistry has been degraded. The artistry involved in dance can't be quantified.

Svetlana Zakharova herself fell during a recorded performance of Giselle (I can't remember whether with Bolle or Polunin), and she is still, to me, the absolute queen and fairy of dancing.

I am watching a production of ‘Annie’ decades ago in Long Beach, Ca. They are starting ‘It’s a Hard Knock Life’ and one of of the girls accidentally kicks her bucket into the orchestra pit. Without pause or hesitation she carries on, doing the same actions as the other members of the chorus who had their props without a problem. What a trooper.

Most of their mistakes look graceful. Respect.

[@kristinmoreno9203]

In the Giselle clip with Misty Copeland, the mistake was actually NOT the fault of Misty. The Queen of the Willis signalled Misty to bow and then gave the command to dance! Way too Early! In Silence! Additionally, the Conductor is supposed to follow the lead of the Principal Ballerina, and the Conductor failed to begin the music when Giselle began dancing...

[@Fauxfurr57809]

I think they both messed up. The Queen signaled too early and Misty instead of waiting for the music she just followed the Queen’s signal and started dancing

[@zaporizhanka430]

It doesn't work this way. Ballerinas don't wait for a command or a signal to dance. They just know their dances and should listen to the music.

[@men_del12]

Splendid friend, splendid. It is well donely been made to encourage people (or dancers) that not everything has to be perfectly precise. Indeed we learned to improving ourselves, but that shouldn't discourage us to keep on trying out best in peformance. So rather than ashame at one lack thing, be grateful for at least having several greatly done works. This would mean we still have much more amazing potential to put effort on it rather than be haunted by that single dot. Once we thankful for the many great results, we then can eagerly focus to study more and improving wholly as another addition to those great results. Thus, we still keep moving forward and even can inspired more people. How much more that happiness and enjoyment will be!

[@mermaidopulence8539]

I know this video is a few years old but I do want to say that people tend to forget that under those tutus and pointe shoes there is a person. As ballet dancers people tend to put us on such high pedestals to be beautiful and perfect that they forget that we are people too and we are bound to make mistakes no matter how much we practice or how long we have been dancing. However, I will say that if a slipup does happen during a performance it's all about how you recover. Always make it a good recover because no one knows the chorography but the dancers and the artistic director.

[@Dimivim]

At 3:00 not only she wasn't afraid of keep dancing, but I think the music dropped the tempo to catch it!

[@jayesimond9301]

Ok let’s be honest, Ms Copeland, with respect, completely messed up her Gisele entrance. She could have kinda recovered from dancing too early by repeating some steps to catch up w/the music. Obviously mistakes are made even by the best dancers, but recovering seamlessly is part of their talent. Instead, Copeland didnt even attempt to recover; she did her bit… and left the stage lol

[@mariolabrador4530]

For the Misty video, the audio and the video are not synced together. First, the corps de ballet all turn at the same time when Misty starts dancing, which is the choreography for their production, so if Misty were to be off the music, then the entire corps would be as well. Second, she as a professional, and knows full well what the music is in relation to the choreography and wouldn't have continued dancing off the music for the entire sequence. And third (visually the most obvious), the conductor stops conducting once Misty stops dancing (you can see it in the video), all the while the audio continues to play.

[@melodramatic7904]

Thank you. I didn't notice most of it the first time around. I just took the discription at face value, however, as you can see, many people took it as a opportunity to dump on her again. She gets a lot of hate for no reason.

[@AngelaChen1115]

Hi Mario, I actually thought the video and music was asynchronous as well when I first watched it! But I obtained the clip from here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6bKnWeNqsSniq8 I just thought if the video and audio were truly off sync, then wouldn't the rest of the whole video be asynchronous as well? Ms. Copeland and the other dancers in the rest of the video seemed to be in sync with the music in my opinion. In addition, I just thought the way Myrtha stepped right on the beat at the end of Giselle's Entrance didn't seem like the music was off sync with the video. Anyways, I didn't notice the part you brought up about the conductor so thank you for bringing my attention to that! If more of you are willing to weigh in on this and help me get to the bottom of this so I can make a correction of it is needed, that would be welcome! Hope you're all staying safe out there!

[@Se_liss]

Angela Chen music is totally out of sync during the whole video, not just this part. Even if you can’t tell just by watching Roberto’s variation and the corps, it becomes very clear at around 7:00, just listen - when Misty and Roberto jump there’s no sound of landing. You can hear her shoes hit the floor some seconds after. P.S. I’m not a fan of Misty by any means, but even she couldn’t fail like this 😅

[@TheFuryKat]

As a member of the world of competitive colorguard, I love watching good recoveries. My activity has a lot of influence from dance, but also adds the variables of tossing around flags and prop rifles and sabres outside with whatever elements that entails. We have to deal with slippery, wet fields, winds blowing our equipment away from us, marching band members sometimes even missing cues, on top of whatever errors we may make as performers. We know that we may never have a perfect show, to the point that our judges score us not only for how few mistakes we had, but also on how well we recovered from what mistakes did happen. With that said, I have been trained that no matter what happens, even if the the show has ended and you dropped your last toss, leaving your equipment on the ground, you do not move when everyone else is still. You leave your equipment on the ground and you freeze in as close to the actual pose as you can manage. In my opinion, the dancer who went to the knee when it wasn’t her turn yet made two mistakes. She made the first when she went down early, which can happen, it’s forgivable. But she made the second when she stood back up. No one else on the perimeter was moving when she stood back up, especially in the upwards direction. She drew unnecessary attention to herself, and thus away from the soloist in the center stage, by standing back up when she really just should have stayed kneeling and no one would have been the wiser.

[@primaverala1524]

TheFuryKat Im in highschool Colorguard! I want to join DCI after high school so I’m trying to learn weapon and get good. Are you in a group at the moment?

@@primaverala1524 I just aged out of drum corps last summer. I did several years on weapon with that group and was the solo dancer this last summer. I'm also part of a world class winterguard and am the director of a high school and a non-competitive college guard.

[@TheFuryKat]

You don't need to learn weapon to be part of a drum corps; there's plenty of opportunities for flags and dancers without you needing to have weapon experience. If anything, with a world class corps it's more important nowadays to have solid dance training, and from there back that up with good presence and facial expressions. However, if you still want to learn weapon, I would be more than willing to help you out. If you haven't learned either yet, I'm personally a fan of teaching sabre first (if you're trying to learn both), for while it can bite a bit more than rifle, the physics of it are easier to understand and it requires you to learn more precise technique, which is then easier to transfer to rifle than the other way around, and the only thing you really have to adjust to on rifle is the bulkier grip and the heavier weight of the equipment. While sabre is all about technique, rifle requires strength to properly control it.

[@mopedinthemalverns6661]

The mistake at 2:52 is by Manni no the other dancer - she gives the cue with her right hand going down to start the other dancer's solo. The other dancer saw the cue and went for it rather than listening to the music. Really she could have held off for a bit but those 'Puppeteer' actions by Manni are very distinctive and couldn't be re-done. Manni covered for her own badly timed cue later on.
