[@sherrychen509]

[@skytheterrible5087]

Helinacoustic the funny part is that it’s not a Grande battement.

[@chevon1920]

ToFu BrOtHeR yeah, it kinda looked like a develope to me, but what do I know, 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@jenniferthamrin3887]

ToFu BrOtHeR what is it then? I always thought that grand battement is kicking your legs up

[@ElizahMendoza]

i think that wasn't scripted lmao

[@Volvican]

I thought Jimmy was actually pretty good for presumably never having done ballet. I don't think a lot of people, men in particular, would get close to doing those changement.

[@annacornykova9023]

+Volvican I think some football players have done it for training?

[@parkernicole6176]

Well...

I applaud Misty for keeping a straight face through this!

[@jamjam5184]

The view from the windows behind them is just amazing. I just wanted to stand there and look outside for hours.

[@syafiqaszamin6411]

+JamJam you know that's not really there right?

[@dannydizzle21]

+SYAFIQ ASZAMIN i domt think she was talking about the background on the main stage.

[@isunlloaoll]

come to New York then. Go to on of those architecturally beautiful neighborhoods. Look out the window and you'll be amazed how detailed the buildings are unlike the new skyscrapers, those classical style buildings were built as art pieces.

[@tinydancerfae]

+JamJam That's 19th Street & Broadway just a couple blocks north of the northwest corner of Union Square Park. I couldn't count how many times I've been there. The building they are in has the original "cage" type elevator with an operator who's job is to open and close the double gates and take you to your desired floor. Very cool architecture in this neighborhood.

[@LisaMichele]

As a New Yorker I just love this comment! Glad others appreciate the beautiful scenery of this amazing city!

[@sarabills4890]

I love how they sickle their feet while doing rond de jambes

"It should look easy that´s why we train for hours and hours our all life" --Misty is so earth to earth and funny but always extremely professional. She´s an amazing dancer ❤️

[@Jeanjellybean13]

Misty Copeland is perfection

[@Alezey574]

The way Guillermo dances is sooo freaking hilarious lol

[@omahhumvajragurupadmasiddhihum]

When you dance the way I do, every ballet is The Nutcracker" XD

[@Warrendoe]

I live in the UK so had no idea who these two men were when I clicked on the video about Misty Copeland. When I saw them get out of the taxi in tutus I was dismayed, but it did turn out to be quite funny. The Nutcracker line really made me lol. And to any of the, I suspect young, commenters on here seeing it as disrespectful to ballet...... or dangerous to get en pointe, then just CHILL out and know that I am pretty sure that ABT and Misty would not do anything unprofessional, or to damage the reputation of dancers and their art . You might do dance lessons but you are not right about everything.

[@lucindagaskill4519]

I feel Misty's pain

This is why guys don't wear tutus. They did ok, but they looked silly.

"that's third position, but one day you'll get to fifth" 😂😂 low key diss

[@liliblu3815]

he does tho

[@flamingobirb3831]

"... And today it died" 😂😂 straight up savage

[@dorotheahudson5050]

Love when she said to Jimmy “Your legs are so Hairy!!!!”🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂

[@AirQuotes]

Misty is beautiful, seemly kind and talented a winning combination.

[@emmaj.4838]

Misty Copeland is and forever will be my queen

[@carschmn]

I loved how the naughty bits got blurred out.

[@kellyb4]

She is so muscular. I always forget how strong and athletic ballet dancers are. They make it seem so effortless but there is such power there. Amazing. Talking about Misty here not Jimmy. ;)

[@tegan2307]

As a ballet dancer this so funny, I feel you misty I was dying watching them dance the end of the performance 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lucyb2593]

Jimmy's turnout is actually really good

[@BCSBB]

Jimmy's and Gillermo's faces when they were performing was hilarious!!! 😂😂😂

[@jabrown1978]

Wow jimmy's turnout, even though forced, is actually not half bad.

[@user-ur4io5lh5s]

I love how she is in on it and not dumbfounded by it all especially with that ending

[@yayableu]

i keep thinking... 1 2 3, 1 2 3, iiiii wanna swing from the chandaaaaleeeeer chabdaleeeeeeeer.

[@syrianb3293]

When???

[@madisondean1074]

I'm an absolute fan of Misty Copeland. She's my Ballet Hero! To me, she's the symbol of you're never too old to start ballet.

[@samanthawho9591]

I love misty she's amazing. loved to see her ine day.

[@ballistic9137]

Me before watching this: "Ballet is so fricken easy anyone can do it" Me after Misty did one move: "How the hell did she just..."

[@margaretmadole]

You better not think dance is easy. Trust me, with ballet, if it's in any way comfortable, you're doing it wrong, stretching is obviously pain that every dancer's learned to crave, and it's all serious cardio, especially tap.

[@suchirazinner315]

Ya in ballet, u have to think about what ur doing and what to do to fix it and it is extremely challenging especially pas de deux

[@ava111103]

When people say ballet is easy Me: have every seen or done real ballet before?😒 Them: Umm no Or Them: I took it when I was like 5 Me:😒😒

[@lindsey1039]

+Ava West OMG saaaaaaamme!!! I know someone who, whenever I talk about ballet, she talks about how she used to do it, but then quit when she was 6. Like, "Oh, I had my splits, but then I quit." "Oh, I was really good at dance, but then I quit." When you're that young, it's not that hard.

[@denise_m5317]

Ballistic I'm doing ballet and its freakin hardddd😂😂

[@momodustychinchilla868]

I laugh so hard for the entire video lol

[@via-anghelmagahum2586]

One of my favorite ballerinas! She was very patient with them.

[@IrisAsuras]

That was super cute. I love that they had professional ballet dancers on their show and actually tried it even if it was also for the humor.

[@WakandaBabe]

Jimmy has his tutu on upside down.

[@sandyprimus9831]

I THOUGHT SO TOO, IT WAS TURNED UPWARD.

That ballet dancer lady is just perfect I love her.

[@reneegeorge2369]

Misty is so good, love how she was nice to them and really tried to teach them for real even though they were just doing nonsense and making jokes instead of doing real ballet. lol JK does have nice legs though lol

[@maharley27]

She was the high school sweet heart at our school. Love her! Go Misty! XD

[@maharley27]

She was known to be the high school sweet heart. She's very nice and a really good person :D

I'm I the only one who noticed the awkward handshake..

kevin Diaz I saw it too smh

[@Christina_320]

kevin Diaz Nope awkward as heck. Lol

[@chrissys5785]

I have been waiting for Jimmy and Guillermo to do something like this again since they did the SIA video. I watch that one when I am in a bad mood and it makes me feel better! This one will do the same lol

[@marlenes.k.1167]

Misty Copeland is my workout inspiration. Just perfection.

“Ballet was born in Italy more than 600 years ago and today it died.”

[@NinjaNina20100]

One Thing that I learned in ballet: no matter how hard you mess it up, in the end simply smile and pretend like everything was exactly what the way it was meant to be and I do think they both mastered that!

[@patangman2117]

In 2020, I needed this more than I could ever imagine. I'm in tears.

[@renen9160]

ayooo that final presentation was actually good 😂😂

[@BruceWayne-ep2ir]

I was expecting Jim Carey do a cameo as Black Swan lol

[@kayliejohnson8273]

That would've been funny!

[@kayliejohnson8273]

u know how Jim iz. lol.

[@anurlailika]

Wooooow she's gorgeous!

[@manga12]

not bad for a first timer, but guys dont usually wear pink, and I dont know how misty kepts a straight straight face trying to play this role of the dance instructor, like on a reality tv show.

[@rosek6373]

I love them so much. I'm addicted.

[@Shmellable]

The ending formation was awesome!!💕

[@time4sanity]

Loved all of it...but Jimmy had the best line ever..."when you dance the way I do, every step is THE NUTCRACKER!" ROTFLMAO!!!

[@leondeklerk7200]

Well done. They were all good sports... A++ for effort. Its no joke being a dancer or a prima ballerina...its hard work. A lot sacrifice. Dedication and determination.

[@cantpickausername4861]

I'm a dancer and I just love misty. This is adorable

[@isisnine]

Misty Copeland is so amazing and talented she even made Jimmy & Gilluermo look good...ok..not good but not as horrible as they really were. What an amazing and gifted ballerina! So proud 👏 ❤

[@aishastyles5685]

8:54 Misty dragging Guillermo into position is hilarious!

[@007Fusiion]

Nice performance at the end. And excellent footwork throughout by Copeland.

[@shewhoiskay1]

Hahaha What a good sport Misty is, to put up with such a skit! It was funny. BUT WHAT I would have given..anything to be able to witness her talent without interruption such as this up close. All in all, Jimmy was funny, with his unstoppable self! BUT how LOVELY WAS MISTY? JUST BEAUTIFUL BRAVO! GREATNESS on your shoulder Jim, good show♡ Thank you, I adore This Extraordinary Young Woman..GOD BLESSED US ALL♡

I almost died laughing🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so funny, thanks!!!

8:17 I can just imagine the people in the front line lmao

[@violetta7853]

I'm italian and we do say Ballerino to address a male dancer

[@eliezerrabelo6727]

exactly, maybe she was referring just to USA. We say bailarino in Portuguese and bailarin in Spanish.

[@crystalm9594]

She probably was. In America, we cut out many many historically accurate things. Some on accident, much on purpose

isnt it dangerous to put on pointe shoes if youre not ready? :O

[@theodoresart6463]

coleen valiente Yes, but it was very brief and they were leaning heavily on the bar

[@AllieHutchins]

Freezer 7 and they didn't even get up onto the box. or anywhere near it.

[@AdaylnTheLifeOf]

Yea but I'm sure they are told to be super careful. And they were using the bar. Walking around in them as if they are normal shoes is fine though

[@GOTHOTTHOTVISUAL]

how do you know if your ready for pointe shoes or how does your teacher know

[@wig6310]

GOT7 HOT7 THOT7 VISUAL7 Your teacher will know

He does have nice legs. If he was flexible his extension would be amazing.😂😂😂

[@changodelux69]

Guillermo is such a graceful dove.

[@sophiasmith1732]

I must have watched this a dozen times. I can't stop laughing. Misty said, "Kick!Grand Battement!" Jimmy said, "GRANDMAMA!" with his testicles blurred out. DWL!!!

[@liceuh197]

i could tell misty was cringing

[@norawinterfield5278]

I was too since I've been dancing for at least 15 years now
