Best of Akane Takada

[@user-db2go6iq7h]

She’s so underrated, she’s easily the best of the Royal Ballet’s younger principals.

[@jillgooner]

Yep certainly inderrated! Never seems to get the acclaim that others get at the rb.

[@Christina_320]

Stage Performance ✅ Amazing Feet ✅ Balance ✅ Strength ✅ Musicality ✅ Speed ✅ Agility ✅ Stamina ✅ Coordination ✅ Flexibility ✅ Passion ✅ What a joy she is to watch!!!

[@SarahHope883]

I love how she playfully accents every step with the music. She fills her movement with a true and unique interpretation of the character and executes technique flawlessly without compromising her own style. She brings something special to every role. Its no surprise choreographers love working with her.

[@robertmcnamara5407]

Seriously one of the world's great ballerinas. Musical, technical and artistic ability abound.

[@helazemni1683]

SOOOO TRUE 🙏🏻👍🏻❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@mnmmissmorrovbn569]

Yeah! Gorgeous light moves 💕

[@msvicktoria77]

She is a beautiful and ethereal dancer. She has fantastic technique. I love her in The Dream. It is too bad she is often eclipsed by some of the other principals at the Royal Ballet.

[@DCFunBud]

Technically brilliant and so lyrical. Just a ray of sunshine bathed in music.

[@rosiegreen813]

Her "Titania" was an absolute revelation to me, have been such a fan ever since

[@tomorrocat]

I'm a pretty new ballet fan, as far as watching lots of videos and discovering who's who, but I can see how she brings a lot of joy to her dance, and can see the playfulness others mentioned! She's lovely!

[@lavieestunsonge4541]

Absolutely lovely! ❤️ Her Bluebird variation is, arguably, one of the best by far!

[@melissasolorzano2285]

She is extraordinary!

[@dyeshook8048]

She’s so light when she jumps!

[@ВикторияСтефанишина-й3и]

Лёгкость, воздушность, грациозность, живые эмоции! И не видно тяжелейшего труда за этой лёгкостью. Воистину ожившая Фея!

[@sparkymiss1]

Wow I’ve never seen a dancer hit her poses with such controlled precision and lightness of step. She is special

[@michelboudot2882]

She is for me one of the top five at the moment

[@べにお-s2h]

涙が出ました😭 ずっと見ていたいです

[@claireschweizer4765]

that bluebird is fantastic!!!!!

[@a.phillips6892]

She’s incredibly beautiful, and her technique is perfect. I really enjoy watching her💓

[@dianecagnole9158]

Beautifully executed! I could watch this all day….😊

[@carolenewman2234]

She's the standout among the younger ballerinas for me. Exquisite.

[@williamdeng1870]

Akane Takada is really an excellent ballerina. Her dancing skills are incredible, especially in the control of rhythm, in controlling the balance between dancing and still moments, and in understanding the rhythm of music. It seems that she has carefully arranged her dance into every phrase, measure and even beat. It would be better if her movements were smoother. I personally like the "Swan Lake" of the video very much.

[@michaelangelovoices]

Beautifully danced and expressed. She is music in motion.

[@JohnSmith-ei2pm]

She is so fast, neat and accurate in her movements. She also brings something special, and I think, lovely to every role. I hope and trust that one day she will be widely recognised as one of the greatest ballerinas of all time.

[@svetlanakapitanova777]

Не слышала и никогда не видела эту балерину! Но Она просто Великолепна!

[@ashessakura7518]

She's incredibly stunning and so unbelievably graceful! I'm transfixed every second of her dancing!!

[@gabriellabale1128]

The only word I could think of after watching her is Incredible. She's is gorgeous and talented. Something that I love about Akane is that she tells a story in every step. She tells you a stry in a simple echappe. This shows you how Incredible she is.

[@pinkpaisley4520]

Omg she is FANTASTIC, such grace, beauty and outright talent!!! Look at those arches when she is on pointe - the best Ive seen!

[@minissa2009]

Not sure if it's her natural ability to phrase or the coaching at RB, but she brings beautiful buoyancy to Florine (plus speed and phrasing), which is often just the flattest variation. Plus speed and rock solid core. Just wow! esp in Florine and Titania.

[@nicolehourcade]

I agree with you, in the variation of La Bayadere she is 🤩

[@Iremchik_Demir]

Молодец, хорошо выполняет упражнения. Душа-то где?

[@christelbremer657]

Is it just me or do her shoes look DEAD in most of these videos? She is amazing...has such a lightness and fluidity to her dancing.

[@janamarwedel1142]

I asked my cousin about the shoes, and she said they are probably a tiny bit dead, but if she wants them to be a bit dead, then it's her own choice

[@christelbremer657]

I wasn't criticizing ... I have a lot of respect and admiration for her.

[@janamarwedel1142]

​@christelbremer657, it's okay. I am just clarifying it for you

[@gonefishing167]

She’s just beautiful, so light and ethereal 🩰🩰👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@annicarbone6643]

Una piccola grande magica danzatrice! È fantastica!

[@candidacarino669]

Akane Takada - - definitely - - has enormous stamina and strength ❗And she dances smoothly and perfectly - - too ❗ I particularly admire - - Takada's - - her most beautiful interpretation of - - the La Bayadère Shade Variation #2 (Akane Takada - Royal Ballet)❗Thanks @DLB.

[@tumendorgieva3035]

Аkane Takada is an amazing ballet dancer! Her dance is like a flowing stream, a blowing breeze, smoke is streaming! It is as airy and light as a cloud in the sky! She's gorgeous!

[@zhijunt]

Love her!!❤ I think that the Titania and Swan Lake Pas de trois were the best 😊😊

[@sheeniebeanie2597]

so precise and gracious. what a privilege it is to watch her.

[@colinalexander1507]

A gorgeous ballerina 🩰 Love all her efforts.

[@kristannestone1748]

Stunning. STUNNING!!!

[@kathymyers7279]

So sharp and fast!

[@Halfmoon1001]

That Pas des trois variation!! Beautiful👏 I think her arms movement is particularly beautiful

[@somekindofflower2024]

I love her. Such a sweet, lovely, positive ballerina. One of my favorites, especially in the role of Juliet. I wish you included that also.

[@felicity1877]

She is a great dancer in beautiful, beloved ballets! I especially love her Titania and Florina. I was first surprised that the thumbnail with Act 3 from Swan Lake is not in the video included, but I understand that Akane didn't get enough screen time on her own in it.

[@karadiberlino]

Her foot work is amazing! 😍 Never seen anything like it… She makes it look so easy, too.

[@mundamadi--moucheamadi7147]

👍💕👌she's magnificent! Not only She dances so beautiful , but also so elegant, perfect Thank you👐🌷🌷🌷💖

[@karennorris7880]

She uses her upper body during her allegro sequences very beautifully and innovatively, and she has a really nice jump, and a general lightness to her dancing.

[@markbeck8384]

Lovely. I enjoy her very much.

[@sianavassileva403]

I’m glad to see this dancer using the top of her foot to propel her shoe forward on her toes. This is the way I used to dance. Absolutely wonderful dancer and beautiful feet.

[@tomorrocat]

I am just fascinated by ballerinas' feet!!! Can't stop staring at them! They are just so different from other people's feet, even other athletes'!! What they can do and how they are shaped and developed, the super archiness and muscularity, etc.

[@daphnethurlow5388]

I think sheis an extraordinary dancer

[@BeatricerIVA-lm3vp]

Akane è una ballerina bravissima. Ma secondo me troppo gioiosa per alcuni ruoli come la seconda variazione delle ombre, ma perfetta per altri come il pas de trois del lagno dei cigni

[@LanaW123]

So light and fluid. Asian dancers are like porcelain dolls.

[@МихаилЕлин-ш3ф]

My friends. We have rare opportunity to watch balley of 19 century. Akane Takada dance in old manner. Very fast, very sharp and without pauses. Today all Primas dance a bit slowly. The Akane's technique is excellent. The lines are wonderful. But I haven't any time to enjoy it. Too fast for me.

[@courtney4162]

what is the ballet at 1:25 where can i watch it?

[@Vivt626]

More of Akane's clips please

[@--ag]

WOW.

[@albadeffa5398]

I would like to know as well! I just fell down this rabbit hole and I am completely ignorant to a lot of things regarding ballet.

She has performed Aurora in a number of seasons going back quite a long way, but no videos, only photographs.

“Akane Takada” That sounds like a Japanese based name!! I’d she Japanese? Nvm, I figured it out, lol she’s from Tokyo!! Such a a wonderful dancer!!

does anyone know these variations?

[@claireschweizer4765]

Please don't wear dead shoes my love!!!!😭❤

[@minsugamaxsalt]

😍😍

[@rlatimer10]

I think her technique is flawless but her ability to convey character is lacking. Her face expression is the same no matter what character or act. I do not mean to be critical or to demean her ability but simply to say that work on character development might be an area that could make her become a true prima ballerina.

[@rlatimer10]

I meant say facial expression 😜

[@janglass8219]

You don't need to feel bad for having an opinion. Too many people seem to think opinions should only be positive. That's not reality. Good for you for being honest.

[@KickinTheBucket-List]

I felt this way when I saw her live in Don Q. Absolutely amazing technique & dance ability but I didn't feel anything because of her expression. I also find she seems to smile regardless of the scene lol but at least you can tell she loves it!

[@rebeccasoto9592]

I love her and this is my only critique of her. She looks so happy it’s hard not to love her but it takes me out of the story.
