BALLERINAS IN THE WILD aka not in the studio lol

[@Miranda50709]

The beautiful Leslie Caron. An American in Paris is an amazing film. The entire ballet section is worth watching Josephine!

[@petravermeer9328]

yes I agree @Miranda50709❤

[@StormieCriss]

Anything and everything of Leslie Caron is worth it!

[@tonyadrayden3651]

Leslie Caron! My idol throughout my childhood.❤

[@Kayjee17]

I think the first thing I saw her in was The Glass Slipper, then An American in Paris, and I still love watching her movies today.

[@annarichter484]

Yes and I know what I'm watching tonight.

[@princessglitter14]

This unlocked a memory of me when I was 10 waiting for my mom in the grocery store aisle and doing releves using the cart as a barre 😂

[@Hermione.Granger]

real 😂 chaines down the aisles almost running into multiple carts/people…

[@petravermeer9328]

I do too😉

[@esidhe]

4:00 This is Leslie Caron in An American in Paris from 1951.

[@Splatoon_Covers_By_Lia]

Too accurate

[@ceciliacalvin263]

The dancer in the yellow room is actually actress Leslie Caron. She studied as a ballet dancer when Gene Kelly found her and put her in An American In Paris.

[@storybookmusic]

She also danced in The Glass Slipper! She was such a beautiful dancer!

[@super_siri]

And that was an American in paris. Part of the ballet sequence. Which I believe is still the longest dancing sequence in a movie.

[@anaabendroth3460]

Leslie Caron, "An American in Paris". Adored her, in all her roles.

[@leonply]

Always very happy when you show a clip of Leslie Caron, the protegé of Roland Petite, in any of her movies. An American In Paris will always be one of the best films.

[@decodolly1535]

On my bus home from work, I always know where we are on the route by the type of passengers. When the vehicle fills with lads in sweats and girls with their hair in fierce buns, all watching dance videos on the phones, we've just passed Covent Garden - home of the Royal Ballet School.

[@lydsvids_]

Adam (the chick fil a guy) taught at a convention I went to once. he is a very talented teacher and dancer.

[@mrsshotsberger]

I love his facebook group Dance Accepts Everyone!

[@mitsim]

The woman reading the book is an old movie with Leslie Caron (Gene Kelly era). She was in an American in Paris (1951). Not sure if this was in that movie or another.

[@VintageBeauty1313]

If I saw a toddler running around in tap shoes at the store, I would MOST DEFINITELY ask that child to show me some moves!! That’s so freaking cute!

[@super_siri]

And actually I would prefer the taps to squeaky shoes!

[@dianeharlow1891]

The last dancer was Leslie Caron

[@nyxxah]

ive been binge watching this channel and I know nothing about ballet nor had any interest in it, but this girl makes it so fun

[@red-inmy-50s-temper-dont-match]

There are loads of us that don't dance, but just love this channel lol We need a name, Non Ballet Dancers? N.B.D's hahaha

[@tmackie1694]

Leslie Caron! My mother’s ballet hero when she was young ❤ An American in Paris

[@chriscorn9950]

Leslie Caron ~ grew up watching her! Phenomenal dancer and actress ❤️❤️❤️

[@amyhull754]

I NEED this to be a series!!!!! It's fantastic! The dancers in the grocery. I love it.

[@AngelaSmith_1970]

I’m not a ballerina but I I used to dance, I will still practice my turn outs in line at the store though 😂

[@alicerichmond8708]

That is Leslie Caron, a French ballerina and actress. It’s from An American In Paris. Gershwin, dancing, what’s not to love?.

[@julietantonio1049]

If Josephine reacted to clips from an American in Paris, my heart would soar

[@scarlettptheoriginal]

Yes yes yes!

[@cookingbooth1033]

It’s from An American in Paris! My favorite favorite favorite movie. George Gershwin, Gene Kelly. It’s brilliant. Highly recommend

[@Mary-Ann_B_Mabaet]

3:40 Not a Ballerina, but have taken some classes for Flexibility and Conditioning and OMFG... can I say that THIS is #GOALS ?!?!

[@Trenchant468]

Not a ballerina, but took lots of performance classes, an so relate to using the cart as a prop at the supermarket. That was a happy feeling-to careen down the aisles, riding the cart with one foot, and doing arabesques to the music.

[@deserabailey8500]

The turnout one! LOL thats 100% me! If im standing feet parallel or even close to straight I feel like im pigeon-toed! hahaha

[@justinekingmaker493]

The "I'm obsessed" [3:39] dancer was Shirley MacLaine (aka Ouiser Budreaux from Steel Magnolias - or more recently Martha Levinson of Downton Abbey) As Charity in Bob Fosse's "Sweet Charity"

[@sarah_pings_witherby]

Leslie Caron not Shirley MacLaine

[@angelinacrafts5385]

Our ballet teacher use to have us do the slit switches holding an imaginary book that was done in the American in Paris clip.

[@darlenedimapilis7204]

The incandescent Leslie Caron.

[@SouthernArtist77]

That’s Gigi. 😂

[@melissametivier4]

0:21 I'm having flashbacks to my childhood when a neighbor girl wore her tap shoes ALL THE TIME, including when playing outside in the driveway. I was super jealous bc they made such a cool sound but my parents would cancel my allowance if I ever wore my tap or ballet shoes outdoors.

[@PearlMochi-s2v]

3:39 for anyone wondering, this is from an absolutely spectacular dance/performance number from the movie An American In Paris, with Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, highly recomend the movie❤

[@ItsJustLisa]

The airport one that pops up every year in my Facebook memories is the dance company holding lifts on the moving sidewalk as they pass the person who was sitting on the floor filming. I’m pretty sure it was a west coast company and it’s from about 2015 or 2016.

[@balletmeli]

Fouettés in the living room 😎

[@daisytwotoes]

Not hitting furniture, and on that floor!

[@kurofan4235]

Leslie Caron! She was in a movie called "Daddy Long Legs" and it had a ballet section, too. It's awesome!

[@MibaCallabus]

This has to be one of my fav react videos, such cool stuff!

[@jessymason6282]

I'm a weightlifter, we snap crackle and pop too🤗

[@clarinisable]

The last clip is from the movie "An American in Paris" a great cinema classic! 😊

[@MadelynLittle-c9r]

Omg they're so beautiful

[@Amaranthyne]

1:50 I do this one. Haven’t done ballet since the third grade. It’s just comfortable.

[@Loweene_Ancalimon]

Go watch An American in Paris ! I'd love to watch a full reaction to it from you. Like, full movie reaction. It's such a classic, and you even get to see Leslie Caron on pointe in another monochromatic description clip from this opening scene ! In a great costume, too. She's just such a great dancer. Edit : I just remembered she's on pointe in the first part of the big ballet act in the middle of the movie, before going barefoot.

[@ruthboeder6265]

Here's the whole scene that last clip is from. Would love to see Josephine react to Leslie Caron--she has amazing dances in several old movies! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DNZJx_d86igrM

[@christinacody8653]

Seriously surprised that she didn't recognize it! She also NEEDS to react to the Red Shoes if she does "An American in Paris."

[@vanessaderenzio369]

That girl didn’t travel at all. I’m so impressed! She was literally like a turning top!

[@Itsyourfavsoph]

You should react to highland dancing!! I think you’d be surprised how much technique that you use in ballet is in highland! I personally do it and I think you’d love it :)

[@emilycomer7788]

I used to do highland as well and I would love to see Josephine feature it! It’s always very interesting to me what is similar vs. different between highland and ballet.

[@gracepoint3]

Waiting at T-Mobile counter and couldn’t resist the urge to put my leg up on the counter… and plie’ etc.. I was 50 ish 🤭 - yes, an older ballerina 🩰, but still loving it.

[@trinitymitchell518]

1:50 me sitting in my chair watching this rn lol

[@Splatoon_Covers_By_Lia]

For real lol

[@coriannm318]

Josephine you look amazing! You have the baby on board Glow Up!❤😊 Leslie Caron was a gorgeous perfect dancer in that movie

[@ellismith2745]

ok i might be hypermobile so i need to ask. is it not normal that you can fold your toes under your feet like in the video at 1:56?

[@jessaglenny]

It would be a hypermobile range of motion, yes, although obviously in and of itself it isn't diagnostic of a connective tissue difference. (I have hEDS and I work with hypermobility.)

[@sebumpostmortem]

C' moooon, the feet position in _POV: You live with a ballerina_ is the most comfy and leg relieving ever! Rhythmic gymnasts always wait their score like this while sitting in the kiss&cry 🛋️. How do you think I' m typing right now?😉 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@ivyarianrhod]

I thought everyone's toes bent like that!

[@sebumpostmortem]

A true dancer cannot say "I' ve been in [insert treavelling destination]" if you don' t come back with plenty of #photoleg taken in the most famous places. Tour Eiffel? Photoleg. Copenhage Mermaid? Photoleg. Chinese Wall? Photoleg. It' s a universal unwritten law😅. Our martial arts cousins do the same too. 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@clarelear129]

Leslie Caron trained at Paris Opera ballet school, the movie is An American in Paris.

[@livyloo3]

PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE I LOVE THIS!!!!

[@csharpmajor4810]

2:50 - I would bet money that this person is/was also a musician at some point because they are so dead on the beat. And even if I'm wrong - damn, those fouettes are on point (pun intended - im not sorry)

[@Kimllg88]

Leslie Caron!

[@elizabethjanetugby4695]

I haven't made it to point but I do practice ballet moves in my kitchen and I use the sides for my bar. The floor is at a slight slant, so it is even more interesting to try and do. I also practice in my sleep from being a kid from what I have been told by my parents and my husband has confirmed it. The whole walking without making a sound is interesting. I do have ADHD, which also means I can't stop moving anyway!

[@Nyes04]

I vote YES to more Ballerinas in the wild please!!! 🩰 Loved it! I seem to spot Ballerinas too - not as often in Australia of course but certainly if I am near the Arts precinct.

[@pettiestbettyart]

I was paralyzed a bit over 5 years ago, and my feet have settled in a perfect turnout, and my feet arched in the prettiest pointe… you may forget, but your body doesn’t.

[@lynnettevelez676]

I used to practice turns and leaps down empty grocery aisles 😁 i loved the big open space, but i'm sure my mom wasn't as amused lmao 🤣🤣🤣

[@Allison-views]

Hi Josephine! Love your videos ❤ 3rd

[@darlenelipuma7769]

The girl in the library is Leslie Caron in a movie called An American In Paris with Gene Kelly. You need to watch it!! And Brigadoon!!

[@amykathleen2]

The one in a Korean grocery store is an Emart. They are the ones who have No Brand. Couldn’t tell you which location though if that’s what you were asking.

[@aheartlikethesea]

I'm not a ballerina. Could afford it, but I know the swan lake music pretty well. I could tell Odile's coda while not watching it because I was working, but I could see the insane pirouettes in my head.

[@katesclabassi3857]

I used to do karate and all of us did the foot thing. Just got to stretch them feet before anything. I wonder if other sports that are hard on the feet also do the foot stretch.

[@icarusbinns3156]

I have weirdly been asked if I’m a ballerina while at work (Starbucks barista). I have not been in classes for 26 years! But because I have stiff joints, and garbage balance and a habit of trying to repeat dance steps… people think I’m a dancer. My coworkers do have to watch out for an outstretched leg if I’m getting something from a fridge. Just today, I caught my coworker’s knee on the back of my ankle. We were both apologizing to each other. Managed to not spill anything!

[@janetslater129]

I'm wondering if the ballerina who was doing fouettes also had figure skating training. In figure skating, we're taught to not travel with our spinning (although we don't spot) and it looked like her free leg was crossing in front just slightly, causing her to spin faster (physics), plus her control with coming out of it.

[@bcgrote]

We wore hoopskirts to a nearby supermarket to get food for our campsite. All the 1860s ballgowns querying over hot dogs, or hamburgers 😂

[@nanetten6238]

I grew up doing pirouettes in my kitchen. Extra bonus - it annoyed the heck out of my sisters!

[@JustARandomDancer13]

Hey I am getting fitted for my first pair of point shoes, any tips I will need for class and stuff?

[@nubbyrose87]

Leslie Caron - a ballet/dance legend

[@kittyphom]

1:00 so mesmerizing😭

[@austin.luther]

The last woman is Leslie Caron and the movie is An American In Paris, starring Gene Kelly. Gene Kelly, of course, did all of the choreography and the film ends with a 17-minute ballet. Absolutely one of the greatest films of all time. That specific sequence is from a montage where one guy is describing what she's like to another guy and each description is depicted with a different dance. It was Gene Kelly wanting to improve on an idea for a film he did previously with Rita Hayworth called Cover Girl, but he was only allowed to choreograph one number in that one, the incredible Alter Ego number.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Really enjoyed this…more please!

[@Cutiechixx]

Hiya Josephine!!! FIRST COMMENT WOOO!!! ❤❤❤

[@petravermeer9328]

Yes, offcours, we would love to watch more video's like this ❤❤❤ And have the left screen a bit bigger.

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

1:55 I do this! My mother goes nuts 😱

[@kz0311]

im not a ballerina but a former gymnast (my coach did make us do some ballet training tho) and I stand in turn out and do most of the things (I'm not flexible anymore 😥) in the "pov you live with a ballet dancer" video lol

[@rachaelmiller1560]

WATCH “AN AMERICAN IN PARIS”!!!! It is Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron (the ballet dancer in the yellow room) from 1951. It is one of the most visually stunning movies I’ve ever seen! The dancing is superb and Kelly was a genius.

[@caroler11059]

Wasn’t that last one from a movie? The actress was Leslie Caron. I can’t remember which movie it was. Maybe “An American in Paris?”

[@katesclabassi3857]

The tap shoe ones remind me of the squeaky shoes I had as a kid. Oof my mom and dad HATED them until my grandpa pointed out that they were able to find me easier when I would "wander off" in the grocery store. I still miss them

[@suziewilliams7050]

Omg I literally do the cracks every day and my mom gets so grossed out when my joints pop

[@WillowWaffle]

The only problem is is that these are so accurate… 💀

[@lorrainequintana1082]

An American in Paris! Leslie Caron💖🩰

[@katherinec2759]

The living room fuettes look really impressive, but that's probably a really good way to teach yourself not to travel. You get immediate feedback on whether you're moving or not.

[@psalm91rdwlkfpgrl]

3:49 AUGH, i recognize the scene, but i can't remember which movie that's from, help!!

[@susancarter7170]

Josephine! You must rent "An American In Paris."

[@glossaria2]

Leslie Caron! SO GOOD. That was her first movie role-- American in Paris. They just don't make them like that anymore.

[@livyloo3]

i would love to see that little girl in tap shoes in Disneyland as well!!

[@drmargaretcheung]

I cannot believe you don’t know the great Leslie Caron!!!!

[@kinebrembry6224]

I think the movie is An American in Paris. You need to see it

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I have a whole playlist of Princess Tutu cosplay for you to react to!

[@JGreen-le8xx]

Josephine❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@kermitred1504]

Would love a reaction to Mozart l'Opera Rock! It's a French rock opera about Mozart but the ensemble are all ballerinas!

[@junbug1029]

That was Leslie Caron at the end.

[@bizema2003]

More Ballerinas in the Wild, please. 🙂

[@Morally-Ambigious-Lazybones106]

The girl at the market in the full ballet garb is just when you're 5 minutes from the theater and have swan lake in 12 but you need some things for dinner later and you know you won't want to go get the stuff after the show with how sore youll be XD

[@guideonshortie]

Guilty while serving I did a lot of things like this 😂

[@richardcranium4753]

Also, if you want to see a good Ballerina movie watch "Abigail". It's about a 12 yo Ballerina in training who has daddy issues. (She's a vampire)

[@joeljimenez1917]

Hey! I see a me in the video. :D Hi Josephine, I miss you.

[@WeCanCos]

The smoosh foot while sitting in a chair was me at my IT office job. My sneakers were so soft that i could just sit like that. Iy freaked iut my coworker. He was also appalled by my overextended knee when i put my feet up on a table once. I liked freaking people out.

[@wigglesmcsimth3601]

Anyone know what the movie at the end was?

[@uniquepiece4693]

The girl that was doing the fouettes on hardwood floors I could never

[@fluffymountainbunny]

1:57-Me, with hypermobility issues. Oh, no, no, no! 😱

[@ladyjustice1474]

Have you watched Slawomir Wozniak? 🔥

[@mermaidopulence8539]

My friends can't take me anywhere because if I hear music I'm going to do a grand allegro across the aisle.

[@madisonhyland6591]

You should react to black swan and acheron dance from honkai: star rail I feel like you would love to watch this ❤❤❤

[@Hamsterhuman]

To all the ballerinas out there at any level …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……HOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
