Ballets Trockadero

[@PrevitaliA]

They're so brilliant! I went to see them four times when they were playing in Marseille a couple of years ago. They are the proof that classical ballet can be beautiful without being pathetic!

[@robertg75]

I have been a huge fan for almost 40 years. I took my mother to a matinee performance in the 1970's and she absolutely loved the preformance. At that stage of their development they were still sporting chest, leg and underarm hair !!! In my DVD collection I have 2 of their performances. Tonight, I have watched one of those DVD's online and still find them an absolute knockout and joy to watch.

[@MikeA15206]

What’s so fascinating about this is that most of these steps are specific to female dancers and we(men) don’t learn them because we’re in male technique class while the girls are in pointe class and yet all of these guys are doing them very well, without a lifetime on pointe. Astounding!

[@mrgreynomore]

Guy #2 (Ida Nevasayneva?) has true prima ballerina legs. Loved the flirtatious glances & arm movements - what a hoot! Third guy w/ the glasses: excellent. Loved the "helper" for his balance!

[@icarrus4u]

These variations are incredibly hard even for the women. These guys are amazing.

[@marcmomus]

Odd maybe, but this is what the Trocks specialize in. It's funny and provoking. It also doesn't need explanatory comments. We can all see that they're men in tutus and dancing en pointe. That is the point.

[@jadrankaurosevic3916]

Bravo... All in Trockadero is Great Actors of Classic ballet.. Great Respect... ✨💜✨

[@АленаКовалевская-щ5ч]

Профессионализм+ юмор= ШЕДЕВР!!!!!!

[@DiHarmer]

IM AT HOME WATCHING, I KNOW NOUGHT ABOUT BALLET, BUT I CLAP AT THE PRECISION AND MOVEMENTS OF DIFFICULTY, YOU ARE ALL GREAT ENTERTAINERS , AND PROFESSINAL BALLET DANCERS ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ellenchavez2043]

They are fabulous dancers, going en pointed is amazing given their size. Their tongue-in-cheek approach is endearing.

[@TheClairese]

I am insanely jealous of these guys looking so good in platter tutu's & of their technique. They are fab & even better live!

[@jms371]

I would NOT go see a regular ballet, but I would like this. :) Made me smile.

[@kaarlimakela3211]

I took my little daughter to see them in Detroit once. I have never laughed so hard before in my life, and I haven't since! Bravo and Brava!

[@marianaalexandru]

So talented! Its amazing to see a man dancing on pointes!

[@magnanimous0009]

The Ballerinos were MAGIFICENT, spectacular, and DIVINE. So WONDERFUL!!!!

[@warrendoe2164]

When I first heard of Matthew Bourne’s “Swan Lake’ years ago I thought it would be men like this lol! Then I SAW and appreciated Bourne’s wonderful production. It’s only today in 2018 I accidentally came across the wonderful group of men able to dance on pointe!

[@dieSilbernemond]

SPECTACULAR! They are amazing! Their execution of those en dedans turns! OMG~!

[@Jamoleeve]

The 4th variation guy is really good, i agree ! Lot of energy, theatrical expressions, i remember him when the Trocks came to Marseille three years ago.

[@suzannesadiiqa]

These guys are bloody brilliant! just think of the pressure on their feet of going En Pointe and yet they still manage to look effortless........

[@looovecats]

3rd variation is my favourite here. What a lightness!

[@Petitsaule]

From Mariska Khametovitch NUREYEV to Chase JOHNSEY 💓🌼👏 Don't the Ballets du Trockadero de Monte Carlo realize the huge mistake they made ? They just kicked the Star out of their troupe, the One who is capable of raising an audience ! However, a Dancer, gay, transgender, bi-sexual or heterosexual, is above all, an Artist. There is a Star that shines brighter than others, the public supports it. He has the grace, that little something extra that unleashes his audience, that bilateral relationship that makes everyone follow him at a wink of an eye. This, combined with an undeniable talent and passion, made him, despite all the possible contracts, a Star that would not be extinguished. Being a Professional, I will try everything so that he can live. A Dancer of this quality, who has no stage to express his Art, dies. Dance is his reason for living. Total support, Chase Johnsey. Mariska Khametovitch NUREYEV

[@ghislaineporte4713]

Incroyables, ces hommes danseuses tout en grâce et ce n est pas, facile ce qu ils font.

[@Marc5456Paul]

These guys are pretty darn good

[@D.A.A.321]

4:00 you can put him with this Cupid Variation in a performance or any “regular” company and the audience wouldn’t notice 😄 He’s amazing!

[@SuperModerngranny]

OMG! I thoroughly enjoyed it! They managed to 'point' so well and so gracefully! LOVE IT!

[@collectorofcats294]

SuperModerngranny they all train professionally and a lot of them came from professional companies like NYCB, ABT, etc... I love them too. They’re awesome!!!

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Ottima riconduzione dei passi alla melodia quasi avesse immiata l'euritmia ed ottimo l'impadronimento dello spazio proscenico da parte della ballerina con falcate elaniste amplissime e mirabili sforbiciate volanti trasverse .Ottima impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito e di levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente.Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante.Molto brava. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

[@colettehamel7796]

C'est superdur pour un homme de porter des pointes !!!Etonnante prestation,çà vaut le coup d'oeil !!! Bravo les garçons,vous êtes trooooop !!!

[@אילנההיערי]

imaginense lo que es para un hombre bailar en punta de pies!! es duro para una bailarina es doble para un hombre{ por el peso de su esqueleto y ellos lo hacen perfectamente bien. los admiro!!

[@shirleyhare6177]

Just love these guys, they are great! Australia

[@AvalonMorley]

@rosalierox247 Right? I had the same reaction. Such an elegant line. So much fun when the Trocks truly outdo their female counterparts (as they so often do--how many female ballerinas can throw a few double tours en l'air into their fouettés, which are already peppered with tricks most females can't achieve?). Pretty darned brilliant.

[@scappezio]

This is wonderful, those guys are amazing!!!! Lovely!!!

[@teddydiva]

This troop area amazing. Compared to some of the "genuine" performances that I've seen of these variations thet exude so much more flair fun and panache, something that is really needed and so rarely seen in this ballet. Has anyone else noticed just how secure these guy are on point. The balance is for the most part rock solid not nearly so much "toppling" as you see with many of the women.

[@Freiya2011]

Fantastic! Even without any funny elements! They are gorgeous dancers!

[@kurrara74]

I love them! Such hard work, specially when you have feet size 45 ;-) Clever, perfect and funny. My favorite is second dancer - he is a real "diva" ;-)

[@suzannesadiiqa]

Me too I just wish I knew his name...

[@Melancholikerin]

Sue Harvey His name‘s Paul Ghiselin aka Ida Nevasayneva.

[@nenechonlisboa4127]

Yes they are fantastic ! I find that the fourth one to dance has an incredible energy !!

[@DCFunBud]

Truly remarkable. All of them very musical.

[@ArianeLaurentSmith]

So much character and still amazing technique! :O

[@1loboestepario]

I love how the first one makes "the diva". He's great.

[@shirleyhare6177]

Bravo brilliant! Absolutely loved it!

[@Jamoleeve]

All these variations are from "Paquita", a ballet music composed by Ludwig (or Leon) Minkus. He also wrote "La Bayadere".

[@Jamoleeve]

Le danseur du rêve de Cupidon fait aussi des merveilles dans une reprise du Pirate... une prouesse technique rare !

[@michelinearthebise2783]

Fantastic dancers and athletes. Very difficult ballet variations!!

[@Jamoleeve]

Je te conseille vraiment de les voir sur scène, ils sont excellent, et leur spectacle se prête mieux à la scène que sur un DVD (comme tout spectacle, d'ailleurs !)

[@jeffreypk4]

omg all i do is watch trockadero im determined to become one and i love this dvd i cant wait to seee them in nyc!

[@michelinearthebise2783]

Italian fouettes are very difficult to dance. Bravo. Love!

[@juliabasch2292]

Fabulous and Fantastic!

[@bigbob1699]

Seeing these guys live is one of the things you MUST do before you die !! Four or five is better.

[@Musicz93]

omg this looks so much fun, i hope i could be on pointe and in a tutu it'd be awesome :) ballet is amazing :)

[@Tanblondalex]

The cutest and most charming Classic ballet you will ever watch,,,just awsesome

[@gregoryjones1839]

awfully talented and graceful

[@Sil-Homemade]

Excelentes bailaines. Grandes artistas!!

[@tdotjazzberryram61]

Remember seeing them in Montreal back in the day , one ballerina was called Tikaboumskaya. They are still great.

[@luanhenrique7256]

you is fake 🖕

[@veronicabalsara6528]

Brilliant.. super technique grace n fantastic dancers all xxx

[@mimi-qq2oh]

女性バレリーナそのものに観えるまで、それ以上の努力があるでしょう。見惚れます🥰

[@tutus4life]

Paul has the longest legs EVER!!!! the soloist after him, was the slip planned?

[@GlowingMpd]

tutus4life boy, you’re slow.

[@Jamoleeve]

Sure, he is ! All of them are men, in fact, Les Ballets Trockadero as famous for that :)

[@cawiltu]

Back then the male ballerinas danced to amuse us. And were so much fun to watch. Now they take them so seriously we dare not smile.

[@НинаКозлова-к5о]

Какая техника исполнения, восторг!

[@ElectronicsTech09]

The costumes are fantastic.

[@MariaGloria-lq8fw]

*kkkk😂😂....* *Graciosos, divertidos e elegantes. Parabéns,muito bom!😍👍🏼*

[@stephaniecruvant9130]

OMG!! Those Italian fouettés!!

[@Anchor5777]

I would have been happy to dance half as good as this.

[@BallerinaFreak7]

damn. they actually have some pretty sweet technique :O

[@bethany706]

the second guys legs go on forever!!!

[@ileanamuntean7338]

This is so much fun! En pointe, too!

[@vulcanswork]

They are brilliant.

[@susanbaskerville5239]

one word fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!

[@hemunoz116]

Extraordinario, fabuoso, fantástico. Son muy buenos y entretenidos.

[@irinagerber7450]

Они прекрасны!! А что с ними сейчас, не могу найти актуальные спектакли...

[@cjmax02]

These guys are bloody good! Funny as hell too!

[@daintydracy]

Gosh. Really really respect them. To be wearing pointe shoes when you're a man and dancing not too shabby.... idk what to say.

[@michelinearthebise2783]

SENSATIONAL BALLERINAS! FANTASTIC!

[@miazuim9107]

Muito melhor do que muita bailarina por ai ! E tambem muito engraçados ! Adorei!

[@Jamoleeve]

It's just called "5th Variation"... The CD can be found on sale, it's called "Paquita" and has been written by Ludwig (ou Leon) Minkus.

[@oberek92]

trop drole, mais quel travail !

[@darlaandme47]

I wonder if they ever come to the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I would love to go see them in person. From a distance, to an untrained eye some of them may pass for female ballerinas. It looks like some do combination male & female parts all mixed on to pointe. They were very amusing and not at all tacky. I would definately pay to see them in person

[@polkadots4ever93]

that third guy is actually amazing...

[@ПетрКубань]

Шедеврально,хорошей балерине и яйца не мешают.

[@4danz2liv]

i struggled to get through cupid how did he do it so fast

[@sarahsandiego2]

oh my god.... I've just been amazed

[@araunapalm]

Athletic! Choreography excellent!

[@luisfedericosala1354]

Más de una bailarina quisiera tener estas piruetas y gran saltos👏👏👏

[@gestas60323]

fabulous dancers, breath taking virtuosity

[@c.weltscheff5970]

OMg They are fabulous. Put some of the girls to shame!

[@lunedelait37]

C'est Fantastique!! Ces hommes sont nés avec des pointes! Je n'ai jamais vue un rêve de Cupidon aussi techniquement bien fait!!!!

[@michelinearthebise2783]

BRAVO MEN DANCERS AS BALLERINAS!

[@AAJFL74]

i know and how he runs en pointe its incredible

[@Jamoleeve]

"Paquita" is the name of this ballet music, what you hear at 5:00 is the 5th variation.

[@chrystalgkafka]

Sensational!

[@EVZYL]

The fourth variation is from the dream scene in Don Quixote.

[@gersonpepe3119]

ESPLÊNDIDO! !!! JE T'AIME! I LOVE US!

[@natalynataly3782]

А одна "девушка" нечаянно упала или в шутку?🎶🎶🩰🩰🩰Но всё равно прекрасно!

[@Jamoleeve]

Yes, all of them are men ! Great, aren't they ?

[@alainberlaty1394]

First time I see a female dancer doing double tour

[@ElectronicsTech09]

They dance great.

[@Jamoleeve]

@scappezio Thx ;-) I really hope you'll see them on stage one day !

[@collectorofcats294]

Olivier B they‘re awesome on stage. I saw them many years ago and I loved them!!! Just don’t go backstage. My daughters were dancers so we knew how to get backstage and, we’ll, they weren’t expecting visitors, lol!!! They’re definitely eye candy... (from a female‘s point of view). They were all still wearing their briefs so we didn’t get to see EVERYthing. They were all very friendly and gracious, signed autographs, and encouraged my daughters to continue dancing. Awesome group of guys..:

[@juanr.nicolalde5635]

Nice girl and very well dancers and smart women. Congratulations.

[@ficklepickless]

Are you talking about the dancers? Because they're all guys

[@collectorofcats294]

Juan R. Nicolalde lol, do you know that they‘re all male?

[@ya3371]

r/whooosh

[@KristenCardinale]

The fourth variation (the guy in the pale pink tutu) seems really familiar. What's it from? And that guy danced it amazingly well!

[@alexandrakashchenko3673]

Ребята прелестны в роли балерин!)))

[@Miguelpalermo]

Great!!

[@stacyslytherin]

i took this variation to competition once and he does it better than me!

[@scappezio]

I hope that too. I really do... Have you seen them on stage?
