Ivana’s Esmerelda so impressed me. I’m not a dancer, I am a singer. And it has always bothered me that these women could not land the tambourine on the beat that girl had it down. She knew where her leg had to be at the moment of the beat perfect.

This must be a thing with singers. It's so distracting when dancers can't feel what to us is obvious and it can ruin an otherwise fabulous performance for me. Good on you Ivana!

Ivana's variation of La Esmeralda is by far the best one I've seen and at only 15 just blows my mind. I agree that tambourine kicks should be on the music and almost every variation that I've seen done has always been either behind the music or ahead of the music.

I haven't even finished watching the video but I just had to stop to comment on Ivana Radan's Esmeralda and Carson Willey doing the Nureyev Swan Lake variation. I've seen many mediocre Esmeraldas, a few really good ones, and then there's Ivana's. What I loved was the resistance and purpose to her movements, her ability to contrast motion with crisp moments of stillness, and the poised, almost haughty set to her head and neck. The Esmeraldas I've enjoyed so far have had great timing and almost a degree of cheekiness or naughtiness... but Ivana's had this "You think you deserve me? No, but you may worship me from a distance!" sort of grandeur that I found absolutely compelling. As for Carson... if that's where he's headed as a professional, with that ability to marry technical skill with such sincerity, with the feelings of the character he's embodying coming out through every sinuous stretch and sensitive little step, I'd be keen to see him dance for hours.

Hi guys! Love your channel. Just wondering about something you said at @37:33 about the lack of music happening often (“not if, but when”) I can’t comprehend why that would be such a common occurrence? Why does the music cut out so often? Who is responsible for that? For such a major competition, it seems almost amateur-ish for that to be a regular occurrence. Especially with how critical the music is to the performances! It feels really unfair…

The difference in mentality regarding bringing back a variation here vs a program in figure skating is so interesting to me. Because in FS you have it for an entire year normally, sometimes 2. You can change it in the middle, but that isn't the norm. I was wondering why people were switching their variations. This makes a lot of sense.

Hannah Martin of the Birmingham Royal Ballet used to compete in rhythmic gymnastics for GBR! She has had a KZbin channel for years. She has a video on the differences between RG and ballet. One of the big ones was that learning new choreography constantly and quickly was very difficult for her because in RG she would have one routine per apparatus per year, so that means 4 90-second-long routines practiced constantly. Another difficulty was that she had her RG coach who was always with her, which is common and even necessary in RG and artistic gymnastics (vault, beam, etc), but there is only 1 ballet teacher per a class of students/pros. Highly recommend the video and her channel “Hannah Martin RG”! ❤

I need to convince you that you need a personal assistant who travels with you to all these competitions (at the channel's expense)! Holy cow! Even the junior-level kids delivered professional level performances! Could not believe Ivana was 15! I wanted to add one thing on the Gamzattii variation: a lot of dancers not trained in Russia get "stuck" on those grands jetes that are traveling to corner 2 and in kind of a Russian 3rd arabesque position, but she just traveled. Could you possibly comment on how the judges weight the actual performances vs class work and coaching sessions and so on? What sorts of offers and scholarships did the winners get? And will you be doing Varna at some point? Wonderful video and commentary (as always)

You're so well spoken and entertaining. I should love to see one or both of you dancing one day. Thank you for teaching me SO many things I never knew about ballet before. I've been a dancer my whole life but I only spent 2 years in ballet as a little girl of 5 and 6. My dance teacher wanted so of us to learn ballet basics to help us with other styles of dance. I wanted a tutu my first day there!😅 ok.. I'm going back to watch the show. I loved learning the words in French. It made me feel "fancy"! I love your comentnrary as we watch different dancers. It's like two guys talking about football while all of us women are in the kitchen making snacks, drinking wine and laughing at the guys!😂🤣😅 Thank you❤

Ballet Comentators need to move over! I LOVE the excitement you brought to your run downs on each athlete. These artists make things look easy, so it is great to remind your audience of exactly why these things are so difficult. Ladies, you need to start practicing your whisper commenting during the actual performances so you can bring up the celebrations (and volume) at the end of their performances for when you get called up to the big leags 😁

Biologically, boys' puberty growth spurt is 2 years behind girls'. The growth spurt has ended or is close to ending for most girls in junior categories while junior boys are either before the start of the growth spurt, in the mids of, or at the end of the growth spurt. I think they should change the age range for junior boys..

Also how do judges account for the differences in training styles with these competitions? Or do dancers adhere to a specific style in competition regardless of how they’ve been training?

Dancers stay true to their individual training styles in as long as it’s cohesive with the style of the piece. The judges would have to judge the common denominators of the ballet techniques, the foundations of ballet are more often quite similar (turnout, foot articulation, placement, etc) 👍🏻👍🏻

actually! since we are watching YAGP! have you guys seen the movie about it? the first position? wouldnt it be fun to review all the dancers featured in the film and find out what are they doing now and how their career developed over the years or if they are still dancing? just a thought x

Has anybody done the Puss in Boots pas de deux for YAGP or is it too short and not technical enough?

I enjoyed this presentation very much, but I was concerned while I watched the 13-year-olds in the junior division. They danced very well, but I wondered is it really healthy for the 13-year-old girls to be dancing so much on point? Also, 13-and 14-year-old boys still have a lot of growing to do. They must have a lot of adjustments to make as their bodies grow and bulk up, don't they?

By the time they're 13 they've already been on point for at least 2 years. But most studios don't overdo it when they're young. In some countries like Russia and Korea they start them even sooner - which I agree is much too early.

Wow Jolie! 13!? Crazy. Crystal is for sure gonna be one of the greats. She will be a very young principal/étoile. Geonhee Park is *chef's kiss* Still don't get how Melanie McIntire got first place last year. So much more talent available.

Melanie only won the Salt Lake City regional YAGP competition in her age category, she did not win the whole competition.

Melanie has never placed first at the finals. This year was her first time even making it to the 2nd round at finals. (She was very pleased about that and rightly so) Also, please don't put young dancers down like that. It's obnoxious.

What was the junior ladies' Coppelia music, do you know? I didn't recognize it.

Annie's variation was Giselle, not Coppelia.
