"There ain't no Booty poppin' in ballet, save that for the club mhmmm"😂😂

The girl in all red is a beautiful dancer and her laugh is contagious.

[@neilmodino9284]

Those teachers are something else. Clubs?? I wouldn't be surprised.

[@briannaxoxo4191]

xD It was so funny especially the way he said it 😂

[@nisha7520]

I had been doing since I was 4 but I stopped at high school because I didn't like learning choreography I wanted to create my own and thats when i turned to contemporary and just any other dance .

[@manasakaguchi]

Mr. Prescost is such a funny guy, and I loved it when he taught us and auditioned us

[@veronikpavlova]

The best school in the world? Whaat? Ever heard of Vaganova academy?

[@Jayjen35]

I would say Royal Ballet's school.

[@whistledancemoms5385]

Your last name is Pavlova? Are you related to Anna Pavlova?

[@cindylu2046]

Joffrey's not even the best ballet school in America....let alone the world

[@GloriaOlessi]

ordinary american praise :)))

[@L0vertg]

Or Bolshoi brooo

[@ellenmurray6649]

I've been doing ballet since I was 3 and I absolutely hate it when people say "dance is easy" or "ballet is for girls" or "ballet is easy!" Because no, it's not! It takes precision, measurement, balance and art

[@biancak8637]

Ikr. Sometimes I wish ballet was considered as an art AND as a sport. Like seriously, using pointe shoes hurt. Younger boys specifically (>20) who don't do ballet, just assume we are all little girly ballerinas that are weak and fragile. I could rant about this all day...

[@libby9599]

Dancer struggles 😂 people claim that highland dancing is easy compared to ballet but both dances are difficult to perfect. Highland dancers do things that ballet dancers can’t do, same with ballet dancers and pointe

[@_holz.gh_1238]

Ellen Murray same everyone is like oh I can do that it so easy is go on then they try fail and think they do well it annoys me to

[@haileychin8436]

Exactly my point! You've taken the words right off my tongue!

[@haileychin8436]

Theavy Barmes That's EXACTLY how I feel!

[@kittycat35625]

side note: seeing those short/curvy girls in the joffrey school was actually inspiring. I thought only tall and skinny girls could only be professional/high level ballerinas.. This was really nice to finally see :)

[@ellie5636]

I think this school is known for its unconventional and very athletic dancers? I am Russian-trained and my teachers always placed so much emphasis on being skinny, and this was so nice to see, I completely agree with you :)

[@humorouscameraaa7051]

Yeah, my ballet academy, it was like no boobs, no butt, no curves, skinny like a stick. it was really upsetting

[@nicolejarel5953]

polka I thought that was cool too. Sometimes ballet academies are a little more open to different looks I think because some dancers go on to being in contemporary companies. That's not the same story when it comes to ballet companies.

[@wowitscat]

I don't think that the companies intentionally discriminate against curvy girls, it's just that it's a lot easier to be a good dancer when you're thin. You can spin faster, jump higher, and it's easier on your partner, especially if you have lifts.

[@emicarmen2600]

this isn´t the ¨real¨Joffrey. It has no affiliation with the Joffrey name, which is located in Chicago.

[@AYK894]

It feels like nothing when compared to Vaganova auditions. That's just brutal.

[@therhythmictale5574]

Aizhan Yermekbay agreed

[@brynnsummers5895]

It’s a different tequinique

[@monicadigrindakis5045]

agreed!

[@atis9061]

Vaganova is the best

[@itsjiminsnonexistentjams1221]

Because Russian and English ballet is different dude, its a whole different culture and tradition on how Vaganova does it.

[@SweetManiacDeluxe]

A quick Google search revealed that the Joffrey Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet School New York once belonged together, but around 20 years ago the Joffrey Ballet moved to Chicago and founded their own Ballet Academy there. So nowdays both schools are not connected in any way anymore.

[@ariannas.8528]

SweetManiacDeluxe Seriously why people believe that that's the official school of Joffrey Ballet with such a low level of students? And how this terrible school can use the company's name to get students? A very unprofessional school...

[@alexkelly8527]

I love how they actually help you at an audition and correct you. At most auditions I've been to, (I don't audition, I'm too young, I watch my teammates) they just watch you and give you looks and you don't get anything out of it. I know you get the 'experience' but when you've done tens of auditions, it's not much. I love these teachers :)

[@beignet2012]

I don't understand this audition process. Was there no dress code? They all look so random. Professional ballet schools require a specific attire; even for an audition.

[@noramcnabb1361]

J. K. Clothes don’t matter

[@PavelMy]

And how can the dress code affect the audition process ? This kind of nonsense dress code that only complicates life to children. In my opinion it's just extra pathos to depersonalize the girls. it's beautiful, all dressed up

[@karlaruiz3616]

@@PavelMy i think the jury can see the lines better if they have te same clothes. Your clothing can affect how you look and your lines. That's what i think

[@digitallybathed]

[@skwilliamson2476]

I've auditioned infront of Max for Joffrey and their was a strict dress code so I'm not sure what this is.

I love the way he says "...be the best ballet dancer that they can be", even though this is an audition. Clearly this man has a healthy view of what students should be working towards. :)

[@kathycahill1698]

These guys are obnoxious. This is more of a Survivor episode than a profile of dance auditions.

[@monicadigrindakis5045]

there are auditions back in the 1970's - 1980's where you didnt even do a step. They looked at your body and feet - brutal!!

[@taryndancer29]

Monica Digrindakis Oh yeah things have definitely changed!

[@cwb1400]

Kathy Cahill agreed, these two are annoying af

[@SadiesAriel]

The entire "audition" looked so thrown together. I'm not a dancer, but I've been in buildings and calls where they're putting on dance auditions at the same time, and all the girls are wearing the same thing, makeup the same, ect. Just like for a model call, or some forms of acting auditions. You get instructions for how to dress and what to wear. This series definitely wasn't what I was expecting in that it's a lot less professional than the real world.

[@raeeann4712]

Sadies Ariel girl if you’re a actor/ model why are you talking about ballet? I haven’t seen you in anything note worthy

[@rosemariefloydballet4096]

No by by

[@amanda.._..]

Yeah. The teachers don’t even seem professional.

[@shadoawindstorm4489]

So true! I mean, everybody is wearing a differently colored leotards, some girls with skirts, or shorts, or even black tights... All the auditions I did give you clear dress codes, something like "black leo, pink tights". How can they even see the lines if some girls are wearing baggy shorts or black tights? 😂

[@casamir111]

"...ending our season at nationals to find out who is the best in the world at ballet". Why do American's always forget that they're not the only nation on the planet

[@Axeo19]

casamir111 because no other country has that same mentality when they are forming an elite team or doing a competition?

[@Axeo19]

[@ashley-wk3zl]

Joffrey New York is not the real Joffrey... the real Joffrey ballet company and school is in Chicago. I went there for a summer intensive last summer and they confirmed that Joffrey new york had nothing to do with the actual Joffrey other than the name.

[@ambersaint2506]

Ashley Chung what are you talking about? The Joffrey school is in New York. I would know I go to Joffrey

[@SweetManiacDeluxe]

+Amber Saint Apparently the original Joffrey Ballet moved to Chicago and founded their own Academy there, while the Joffrey Ballet School stayed in New York and is nowdays completely seperated from the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago

+Amber Saint yup there are two Joffreys. I took a class at the one in Chicago and told me they aren't connected to the one in New York

[@heyyou1198]

Ashley Chung it is the real Joffrey. The school started in NYC moved to Chicago, then either some of it never moved or they moved back and cut ties with Joffrey Chicago. They're both real.

Joffrey lost all credibility when they decided to appear on Dance Moms lol

[@lilam686]

ellystripes lmfao

[@lianadurnin149]

they didn't appear on dance moms, the girls just auditioned, and since it is a reality show it obviously appeared...

[@ellystripes]

If you think that the Joffrey school was not paid for their studio and teachers to appear on the show then you are incredibly naive. There is no way you could walk into a place like that with a camera crew just because you happened to be filming a reality show.

[@courtneyk.r2098]

so true lmao

[@wowitscat]

ellystripes they were at a competition that Joffrey was at (there’s clips of the dance mom girls at a master class with other dancers) and the girls auditioned (along with other competitors from other studios) in front of the Joffrey people individually, and they were filmed

[@elijah9697]

It's hard when you get rejected. It upsets you and makes you feel like you aren't good enough.

[@TheStockwell]

When you work hard to be the best at something you want to be the best at, to get the message you're just not that good - even if you're let down easily - is a huge blow. Dance is a communal activity, done with other people. Not making the cut is like being told you don't belong in the family. I'm a painter. If I have a showing and nobody buys anything, it might bother me but I can go back to my studio and, all alone, continue to create. A dancer can't say, "Well, fine. I'll just dance all by myself, do my own choreography, and create my own sets, costumes, and lighting."

[@ShadaeABrown]

Rachel's Place when u get rejected it is because ur not good enough

[@TheStockwell]

More likely, it's because you aren't EXACTLY what a company is looking for. You could be a brilliant dancer with flawless technique and enormous presence, but if a dance company is packing their ranks with dancers of a specific height and shape, then forget it. Balanchine was always looking for a exact type of dancer. If you didn't fit the profile, that was it - and with so many dancers out there to chose from, a dance company can decide they want redheads of a particular height, weight, and neck length - and get it.

im 61 and studied ballet as a young kid in junior high, high school. then college. during junior high i had to hide this from everybody because I risked being a target for bullies etc. I still persevered because it was a compulsion for me. only later did I realize that it was my love of this art that drove me. don't misunderstand, I am so glad that I did all of this because it made me a better person for it. I am so glad that the prejudice against men dancing is pretty much gone.

Matthew and Max could not be more perfect teachers and mentors to dancers in this age group. Despite their somewhat daunting credentials, accomplishments, connections, and personal talent, they are also kind, relatable, encouraging, and even funny.

[@cindylu2046]

To clear some confusion: Joffrey Ballet School (the one depicted in the video) is NOT the prestigious Joffrey Ballet Academy (which was based in NYC but is now in Chicago). While Joffrey Ballet School is a good ballet school, it is definitely not the best in the nation (not even in the top 5) and is far from being the best in the world.

[@fancysquidward]

as someone who’s attended a few joffrey intensives, it’s definitely not “the cream of the crop” but they still work you! max seems to DEFINITELY be acting. this isn’t how he normally is. all of the dancers that were picked are all super nice, and anna is actually one of the head teachers at joffrey nyc’s goddaughter. all if not MOST of the dancers at the audition were joffrey trainees. meaning they train year round with joffrey. just some fun facts! i always enjoyed my time at joffrey

[@YukiSparks]

Kinda dislike the “Survivor” reality show kinda vibe. I don’t know, it just feels kinda sloppy and amateur when ballet is so much more. The two guys talk/hype way too much, and the appreciation for the art itself feels kinda lost. Just my opinion, but I feel like it soils the picture of elegance, consistent grace, grueling work, and mental strength that I feel ballet is really about. It just focuses on the cheap and unimpressive drama side, which is frankly really boring as so many other shows do the same. The way they are portraying the auditions doesn’t do justice to the actual process and art of ballet.

[@anacayse]

absolutely agree. the elegance is lost.

[@dianee7778]

Me. Four years old. Ballet school. Day one. I was so excited! All I wanted to do was dance. I remember wanting to be a ballerina like just about every other girl my age. After the first 30 minute lesson, my mother came to get me. She asked the ballet instructor how I did. She replied, “She did fine, but she’ll never be a professional ballerina.” My mother pulled me out of the class and I wasn’t allowed to continue. I’m sure if I knew how to say F- you at that age I would have…and should have!!! Now, as a mom myself, I have always let my kids take any classes they want, as long as doing it makes them happy.

Joffery had a fascinating background. I discovered he was the son of an Afghan and an Italian immigrant at a time when not many people from Central Asia were immigrating to North America.

But no longer affiliated with the original company The Joffrey Ballet, correct? The Joffrey Ballet is now in Chicago and the Joffrey Academy feeds into the company. This is "just" the brick & morter left behind with the same name. While it may be a great school it isn't part of The Joffrey Ballet.

[@joffreyschool]

The Joffrey in Chicago is the TOURING company and never established as an educational institution. We appreciate your persistence however you are simply incorrect.

[@scottjohnson3792]

[@jaelak8980]

10 out of 130 isn’t that competitive. A lot of top programs accept that many out of over 1000 applicants

[@coolj3719]

The one in the red lace outfit is the best by far. She has the best technique out of all of them. The all are pretty good though!

lol booty popping. My ballet teacher called it traveling. "THERE'S NO TRAVELING IN BALLET!" she would say.

[@sweetiecandykim]

The girl at 4:22 with the tattoo. Should she just leave then? Or is it not as strict now?

[@itsjiminsnonexistentjams1221]
