[@Susanmuir2]

Fabulous to see so many familiar faces. Congratulations to Calvin Richardson and Joseph Sissens. Wishing everyone a great year ahead.

[@DG-mt8]

I’m overjoyed for Joseph Sissens’ hard-earned promotion to Principal dancer. Well done!

[@kreishaushaile4129]

Exactly why I Loveeeeeeeeeee this Company! The Technique is Brilliant and the Diversity 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@EvidentlyFire]

What do you mean diversity? Are you talking about ethnicity?

[@KimiGR5]

I was just watching Calvin and Joseph rehearsing Mad Hatter and now they got promoted to principal rank!!! im so happy for them 😭

[@itsdebs]

Cesar made me say 'wow' out loud. He's movement is ethereal.

[@smurf902]

Some of the cleanest male ballet dancing of this era with Cesar!

[@BalletReels]

agreed! he is fantastic

[@jillgooner]

Oh definitely and all so different. Sambe is great but so is bracewell and my favourite, well if there is one hard to define. Mathew ball is incredible. But they are all so different and suit different roles but nevertheless, hunky Gorgeous talented individuals.

There is a movie, Mayerling- Omar Sherif and Catherine Deneuve, Ava Gardner, and James Mason. Stellar cast, stellar performance. Leaves you sobbing.❤❤❤❤❤

[@foropera]

Enjoying the sparkling, brilliant, handsome dancers, but not every choreography. I cannot identify which ones are the McMillan's or F.Ashton's ones, but they have a big love in this company for a certain grammar, the fast tricky complicated, unspectacular little steps, with a suddenly thwarted impulse, which Nureyev sometimes whished to imitate. 😮

[@BalletReels]

@@foropera Thanks for your comment! I’m sure many share your opinion. Not sure if it’s helpful but the dancers dancing Ashton in this video are Kaneko, Osipova, Lamb & Nuñez. Dancing Macmillan are Bracewell, McRae, O’Sullivan, & Hirano!

[@elisasanguinetti5639]

I was already a casual watcher of ballet and knew a few of these dancers but damn, every single one of these performances is wonderful, maybe I should look more in depth at Royal Ballet performances.

[@BalletReels]

@@elisasanguinetti5639 what a lovely comment thank you!! If you’re interested the Royal ballet has loads of performances on ROH Stream (on their website). I believe they do a free or very cheap trial period!

[@kathleennelson8305]

Watch their ballet rehearsals as well, they are fabulous…you learn so much and they’re just breathtaking.

Where did you find the recording of Requiem!?

Sigfrid's sister??? What?

[@BalletReels]

@@miguelavila2674 in the Liam Scarlett production of Swan Lake, the female characters in the pas de trois are referred to as “Prince Siegfried’s Younger Sisters.” Hope this helps!

[@hrh4961]

Valentino Zucchetti missing. Again. SHAMEFUL ! !

[@jillwhite6875]

Yep, not fair! We have the most incredible group of dancers at the royal. Only a couple of months ago was privileged to have my photo taken with Mathew ball. What a talented tasty geezer. My word he made a nutty oaps year.😂😂😂

[@shirleyaaragon8577]

I love Valentino Zucchetti! He can do everything.

[@chiedu90069]

It's sad that he keeps getting passed over. In terms of his career trajectory, he should have been promoted to Principal around 2016 or 2017 (he was promoted to First Soloist in 2014). I wonder what foiled his chances. Maybe an injury?

[@hrh4961]

@@chiedu90069 No injury that I know of. I'm thinking its because he's also doing quite a bit of choreography with the company. Divided duties and not solely a dancer.

[@RichardThe3]

Why is it that these brilliant dancers with all that skill and disciplin devote their careers to perform the same pieces over and over again in a bourgeois environment? Would love to see these beasts groove with the modern dance vocabulary

[@shirleyaaragon8577]

The Royal Ballet has a huge and diverse repertoire- as these dancers have said in many interviews

[@rosyface_]

They performed a trio of MacMillan pieces in April, requiem being one of them. They’re not classical ballet whatsoever. You’re only seeing the Cinderella and the Sleeping Beauty and so on when they do so much more.

[@eurekamreum5458]

The Royal Ballet is very open to incorporate new and exciting work! You can see them highlighted on their website

[@emhu2594]

Do you go to hip hop companies and tell them to do classical ballet? There are plenty of companies that do other styles. Don't like classical ballet? Watch something else. ENB is known as a fusion company.

[@RichardThe3]

@@emhu2594 Well, I still have a desire to see these classical dancers testing their talent in a contemporary setting. Like I said. Why so offended? Are you the CEO of classical ballet? Also, a hip hop company trying out classical would be FUN!
