Behind The Barre - An SAB Virtual Open House

[@paganskye452]

Would you please, please, please, please, please consider letting Disney+ continue with the On Pointe series. I absolutely loved it and have watched the complete series probably 15 times now.

[@amandango8077]

I did too. I would love to see a second season of On Pointe.

[@noopy99]

I loved it too, but I also loved the strictly ballet series, which is available on KZbin. So mixture of the two would be great as I enjoyed seeing it on KZbin 🙈

[@m.x.b.9949]

Me too. I'm obsessed.

[@randompeep9876]

sameeeeeeee

[@chrystalzhou8274]

Me too! I really want to see more! It's so graceful and relatable as I am a ballerina too. It taught me a lot of things!

[@tamirmickens89]

Aesha Ash…is going to become a legendary SAB teacher just like Suki. Great corrections, thoughtful combos, and attention.

[@Walking_War_Robots]

This school is my dream collage and summer program. i wish to be a professional dancer on Broadway. (:

Impresionante la rigidez en la cabeza con el método Balanchine.

[@barbaralemere847]

Such a treat to see the amazing teachers at SAB passing on the things Mr. B. taught them. Great to see the SAB students taking it all in. I always loved seeing Kay Mazzo, Suki Schorer, and Aesha Ash on stage when I was younger and was very inspired by them.

This an amazing look in to SAB and that's incredible

Also loving the nutcracker being older students and the expectations being higher and it’s amazing.

[@erpollock]

Many of the teachers I have seen dancing on the NYC Ballet stage years ago, like Kay Mazzo and Aesha Ash and Adam Hendrickson. I remember Dena Abergel, who is in charge of the children's repertory now. I once was invited to sit and watch a class of advanced girls led by Suki Schorer. That was such a privilege. She is a legend at SAB.

[@WoodlandDance]

So well done; loved every minute. Thank you so much!

[@Yrk123456]

Fantastic! Thank you for making this available!

[@kathymyers7279]

Baby, today there is so much in dance for you! You can even start a little class with others using utube! JUST DO IT. Just GO FOR IT. And DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF WITH ANYONE ELSE. Let the music YOU love take you there. Allow it to flow through your body. The one Jesus made. ❤

Could someone explain to me why they all bend their knee when closing from a tondu devant? My teacher always corrects us and tells us to keep our knee straight, but these girls seem to be doing it intentionally? Idk only curious. No criticism to the dancers, they were all beautiful!

[@emmabarnard5638]

Sometimes if you have hyperextended knees it can cause you to need to bend your knee a bit when closing into fifth. Its not ideal but for some girls you have to bend it a bit.

[@emeliahathaway8150]

@@emmabarnard5638 That would make sense. I have hyperextension and find it difficult to keep my knees straight as well.

[@emmabarnard5638]

@@emeliahathaway8150 yeah, me to, its so hard to close straight even when you are completely pulled up on your leg

[@radiantonion8615]

Aesha = awesome

[@SadieGdancing]

Around 12:35 the guy closest to the camera's jumps are amazing. The quality is awesome.🤩👍 The only thing is, if you watch his feet, @ 12:50, his heels sometimes don't touch the ground and sometimes they do a rebound bounce. 😬 Just watch out for that, could cause injury eventually if continues.

[@Sunflower_vally]

Unfortionately it's balanchine technique, usually in plies the dancers don't put their heels on the ground, one of the main reasons why I strongly dislike balanchine and think it needs to go.

[@SadieGdancing]

@@Sunflower_vally it wasn't that his heels didn't touch the ground... I saw his heel do a double bounce on the floor. My teacher caught me doing that and I wasn't allowed to jump in class until the exercises she gave me showed correction and strength.

I think that's what they do at SAB. Might be wrong

[@juliasturrus876]

Hahahaha yes. I know that's the Balanchine style, but it just doesn't look good

[@candygood1295]

Aesha Ash...I like everything...smelt or dancing like on crystal and datata...everything...small note...Start class with no long cardigan sweater and black tights moment...Suki DANILOVA Kay the. Suzi Pilarre or Tumi etc all walk in right away in a shirt skirt/pants or leotard skirt pink tights

What is the point of wearing masks during rehearsal when they will not be worn during performance anyway?

[@rgfan12345]

Really? There is a pandemic going on. How many people have died in NY

[@gailjacobson7088]

This is an amazing look behind the scenes! But I am curious, it is wonderful that you have teachers of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. But I noticed that especially in the women’s class, the population is mostly Caucasian. Is that because of issues with outreach, tradition, or other factors? There seem to be more male dancers of color in classes and companies - not just yours - than there are female. And also curious about why you think Nyc ballet has never had an African American female principal?

[@rastar154]

They actually are a very diverse school. Not sure why some of the more known girls weren’t shown in the class but the classes shown were a smaller selection of their classes.

[@bethandlouis]

[@Familylawgroup]

Do you have any transgender students? If so, at what age level did they transition as a dancer?

[@roxysimmons]

Oh come on… masks???

[@doctortcbkk2027]

Omg get those masks off those poor dancers!

[@CityTrailRunner]

Those masks are hideous. Youngsters this age trying to move should not be wearing them. Ridiculous. So sad.
