NEW!!! Ballet Mistakes Pt. 4

Since we’re all stuck in our houses right now (well hopefully, you’re being a responsible citizen like most of us), I decided to make a little something for you guys to pass the time at home. I hope all these wonderful dancers demonstrating the beauty of the art of performance will be a good cheer up for you!

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.

[@carolchill]

Carol Hill This is a great video. My daughter practices ballet, and she gets so flustered when she makes a mistake that it becomes glaringly obvious. It’s not that professionals never make mistakes; it’s that they keep dancing in such a way as to make it hard to catch. This is very encouraging to my little dancer. Thank you for sharing!

[@Nuswodahs]

I love seeing professionals make mistakes. It makes me feel less bad about mine because we are all human and no matter how much you practice things can still go wrong. It just happens. Much love to all those beautiful dancers.

[@minerva1784]

[@lancelot1953]

I was a ballroom dancer - a large part of our training for a competition was how to recover from interruptions (another dancer getting in your path), being "bumped", performing a figure that "did not pan out" the way it should, getting distracted, music skipping (or worse, missing a beat) ... recovery and "smiling" was essential - the audience may not notice but judges would ... usually! Great video - it happens! Ciao, L

I remember watching “The Nutcracker” (NYCB version) in December of 2019. I was in the third row. During “Waltz of the Flowers”, the Dewdrop Fairy was doing the arabesque to get off stage, when she full-on face planted on the stage. EVERYBODY in the audience went “oooooohhhhhh!” When she got up, there was a standing ovation!

It honestly just shows how skilled they are to catch it so perfectly and keep going. It shows real skill if you can effortlessly move on even with a misstep or a fall or other mistakes. I have so much respect for these dancers!

These dancers, for the most part, recover almost flawlessly, you wouldn’t notice if it hadn’t been pointed out. Awesome job ballerinas!

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.

[@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

I agree with the title card at 4:05 that the mistake is funny in part because the dancers humorously in on the 'fail'

[@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.

[@asianpotatoesbeangry571]

These guys recover faster than you can even relize there was even a mistake.

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...

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
