Do You Know the Ballet Alphabet???

[@mermaidopulence8539]

This was so amazing, also when the dancers completely lost it at the sound of their pointe shoes on the bubble wrap just shows that not everything about ballet is serious.

[@kiwiy2k]

I was waiting for “TOES” for T!! #MissedOpportunity 😂

[@marshatomkins7989]

Yes, “haitch” and also the last letter is “zed.” Thanks! This was both fun and lovely.

[@Sujowi]

In New Zealand we say “zed” but just “aitch” no “h”.

[@user-yc4fz7vv6u]

Not true, many (if not most) Australians say "aitch" though a lot do say "haitch". Zed is correct.

[@katbegic4737]

⁠I’m Australian and I’ve never heard anyone in real life say ‘aitch’ to the point I thought ‘aitch’ was an American thing

[@negiduck]

@@katbegic4737 I'm Australian and I definitely grew up saying aitch, then I got to school and everyone else said haitch and I felt like the odd one out 😂 Now I use either - I feel like haitch is easier to hear so if I'm on the phone or spelling something out I'll always say it.

[@user-yc4fz7vv6u]

@@katbegic4737 I work with the public and they often have to spell their names for me. I would say a majority say aitch, as do I, but plenty say haitch, Maybe it depends on the demographic of people you interact with.

[@loeysmob]

Daughter got into the Australian Ballet school and it was hard, but she had the best support ever.

[@alexdye7194]

the choerography, the editng, the way its put together and narrated i loved every second of that!!!!!!!

[@MrsBrit1]

Yes. The UK also says HAYTCH. 😂 Drives me bananas, even after 20 years living here!

[@decodolly1535]

The UK absoloutely does _not_ say "haytch"! The word is spelled aitch - how does anyone pronounce that with a leading 'huh' sound?

[@katiemarshall8033]

@@decodolly1535the Irish! And in NI you can tell what side you were born on so to speak based on how you say H

[@catherinehastings2063]

Traditionally Catholics in Australia with an h (Irish immigrants) and others with an a.

[@Shelleysnail]

@@decodolly1535it depends where you come from in the UK. Some places in the North say Haytch but I was taught to say Aitch by my Mum even though I lived oop there.

[@Caroline-nx7ew]

I love this… it’s truly AWESOME!!!! And as a lover of 🩰, we do hard core. Sadly I never made it as a ballet dancer, but I’m so immensely proud of The Australian Ballet and The Queensland Ballet!!! 🇦🇺🦘

[@kermitred1504]

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

[@edelweissdebergbaldrian7696]

Jewel colored pointe shoes!😍

[@Sujowi]

Kidding me…have you just found this?! It’s fab and clever…loved this when it came out. Aussie Ballet are so stunning…such a shame they no longer tour New Zealand.

[@marydonnelly4705]

This was so stunning I want it to be everywhere?!

[@911nmg]

I had watched it a long time ago but seeing you react to it made me want to go watch it again

[@ivyannen2357]

Bubble wrap class was a yearly tradition for every class at my studio! The last class before Christmas break❤

[@AbstractlyMe83]

Don’t apologize for the shot being out of focus! I didn’t even notice, I was watching the corner with the content from the Aussie ballet like Josephine was. Didn’t even notice she was out of focus 😂

[@PureNightfall]

I love all of their videos. So artistic!

[@supperwelder]

That was so cool 😸with the bubble wrap how could you keep a straight face that was just hilarious 😸❤❤

[@marinalodi6313]

thats a work of art

[@KnawedOne]

Beautifully done!

[@cheftoni55]

I loved it! Now... Alvin Ailey, ABT, all the troupes! 😃

[@rackl25]

So a lot of dancers in the Aussie ballet school and company now wear Freeds. We're forever waiting for their orders to come in!!

[@BusArch42]

Shoes are so hard to get now. Ever since Covid and Ukraine Russia war

[@Aeiousomescrafts]

That was very cool, and entertaining! It makes me love dance even more!🙂

[@davidhousholder84]

Please do a collab with Claudia Dean and with the Australian Ballet

[@pipers_river]

We say Aitch or Haitch in Aus (and the UK).

[@kangablue4502]

Aussies definitely do NOT say zeeeee for the letter Z. We say ZED. It was a great representation for Australia, right up to zeeeee

[@LadyCin611]

Loved this!

[@rosalito09]

I've been waiting months for Josephine to react to this video!!! I'm so happy, I wanted to see her reaction.🥰

[@BrythonicHounds]

Please react to the Beatrix Potter ballet (The Tales of Beatrix Potter)!!!!

[@jurrassitol15]

This is a video from a few years back, unfortunately they don’t do these sort of super fun and wonderfully shot promotional videos anymore…I still love the ballet obstacle course video the most 😊

Oz ballet have great publicity / social media. Other companies could learn a thing or two from them.

[@lizza935]

Please explain the cashews 😅

[@erin723]

Gotta be the foot shape comparison

[@Indah_Lusion]

Cashew. Definition: Feet that don't lengthen through the ankle and crunch at the toes when pointed, creating a cashew shape. Did a quick Google search and got this

[@elsat4702]

what do the cashews mean...

[@Unknownentityanon]

They're a high energy snack. Lots of protein, and fat, but don't be scared of fat! You'll quickly burn it off in class. Your body needs fat, and the right kind of them, so instead of a bag of chips or a chocolate bar for that energy boost, have a half of an avocado on RussianRye toast, for example. Stay far, far away from processed foods!

It’s just a standard Aussie city accent. Most Aussie accents on tv are exaggerated/bogan/rural.
