[@jazfacts]

I like this. It was bold and artisitc.

[@LuvUrLifeForever]

[@Karen1andKaren2]

[@maxmoxozo]

[@ThePointePrincess]

1:03 total cinderella moment! ;)

[@HeadUpGorgeous]

I find myself thinking through routines when walking down the street, then notice I'm actually moving my hands and arms O.O plus i arabesque to pick things up :L

[@anaheimballet]

This is from Season 1. Only episodes from Season 2 are currently available on iTunes.

[@thepeternetwork]

When was this filmed and why wasn't I there to see it happen?

[@567axel]

@LilRedBallerina i do that too. and they get mad. But I still do it. haha.

[@uniquedanzer]

i want this on my ipod but i cant find it on itunes!!!!! all of these videos are on there right?

[@alliterati1]

@LilRedBallerina Me too.

[@ballerinababe796]

This is so cute, and very true! I NEVER just walk someplace, I'm always dancing! You can point out a dancer just about anywhere!

[@cecidogs4372]

They nailed it

[@summer19622]

how do they manage to turn on concrete wearing sneakers?? omg I wish I was that talented

[@Sophhyy]

I love the one when she is en pointe xD

[@lollypop2120]

Love this it's so inspiring =)

[@Nehrupry]

I love th music very much and I am going to work on a video like that too. How can I get the music like that?

[@MidgetBuddie]

This is probs one of my fav vids! :) I especially love the new yorkers face when shes running for something (dno, think its for a train/tube...correct me if im wrong ) and she looks at the guy who jumps and holds onto a pipe in the air at 0:34

[@bucksandbrass]

haha i cant imagine what the people around them were thinking. "woah! holy ballet dancer!" hahah

[@kalmanrobertattila]

I like it verry much ...I ofthen do stuff like this on the streets of cluj...(I am a ballet dancer and my friends allways ask me to show them what I do so I dance on the streets and they love it)

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

I really, really wished you wonderful dancers at Anaheim Ballet would put out more videos. I LOVE them so much!!!

[@hbanana7]

It would be alot of fun if this was a series. Like "random acts of ballet in Pittsburg" or "LA" or Seattle" or "London" or "Beijing!"

[@geckoarmy8]

YEAH! Awesome, and I thought I was the only one... This one time I was with some friends and I started dancing down these steps. They were like, "What the heck is she trying to pull", and I was just kinda caught up in the moment so I didn't even notice that 1.) I was getting looked at like a crazy person 2.) A small crowd was forming 3.) There were some people doing the same thing on the sidewalk next to me :D it was really fun, that's why I love ballet

[@laurenboren94]

@SmurfzRoxSox wow thats so cool! i hope you get in!! i dont now if il be ble to get into something like NYCB becuase i started late ( 13 :/) but im gana try all my friends say im pretty good for a late starter! and im on pointe now i stated last year after spring break and i nly had like 9 months of training :O i learn fast

[@balletgirl717]

First of I all love ths idea!!!!! Love you Anaheim Ballet!! Second of all amazing dancers! Good work all you guys! Third of all what is the name of the song you used as the soundtrack for this video??? I love it! Just wanted to say thanks for all of your amazing videos! Can't wait until the next one. Ok, one last thing for the guys: You're all really hot!

[@RaeynaFicst]

It was a recent discovery for me too! I always thought something like shenay or chenee, and I couldn't figure out what it would be in French, but then when I saw the real spelling I understood how it related to the movement in that all the turns are strung together in a chain. : )

[@laurenboren94]

@SmurfzRoxSox we dont have any good floors at my house to practice on exept my kitchin but its not wood so i use my old dead point shoes too :) what you and your friends do sounds fun! i dont have any friends that would do that with me cuz i DEFINATLY would :D

[@balletgirl717]

First of all, this is a great idea and you have to post more videos!!!! Love you Anaheim Ballet! Second of all the dancers are amazing!!! Keep up the awesome work!!! Third of all, what song did you use for the soundtrack for this video? Its pretty cool. Last thing POST MORE VIDEOS!!! Ok bye!

[@LooneyLune]

oh my goodness is THAT how you spell chainé? i'm french and I NEVER understood what chainé meant because from my american (and chinese) teacher I always thought it was spelled chenee or something. wow...after 14 years, the world finally makes sense.

[@nilka83]

I love this video. I have stopped dancing ballet like 6 years ago, but random acts of ballet still happen. Especially at subway stations:) its fun, dont look as good as it did when I trained 10 hours a day but still feels amazing

[@LifeResort]

awesome vid.. but yeah, embarrassing for me..maybe bcoz i live in asia, so people here might just say that we are lunatic if we dance like that in public. But yeah, i like this vid, because i rarely see people dance randomly in public

[@Cartoonmakerwe]

@MidnightFlower13 Je ne pense pas qu'elle soit enceinte, mais c'est sont t-shirt qui gonfle quand elle tourne. I will try to translate in english for you. I don't think she's pregnant, but it's her t-shirt which inflate (?) when she turns.

[@Reticulating-Splines]

This reminds me of one time I was walking down the street in NYC, and I saw a ballet dancer ( you could tell, she had an extreme 'duck foot' walk)...And for no reason, I had the overwhelming urge to bow to her....

[@Lucky13You]

its never too late! go for it! im the same way. i started dance when i was 3 years ago when i was sixteen and no im on pointe and im in my dance studios company and on dance team at school. it IS possible. i play flute too :D

[@simplyrose123]

First time I saw this, I though.. Classical form of Parkour. LOL and not as extreme. But it's beautiful, I wanna try this one day. But it's gonna have to be when i get better, /: Cant wait :D

[@danceri110]

we new yorkers are just so awesome that we love watching people randomly ding ballet on the street. Best thing ever tho? Watching through the glass walls of the ailey studio. OMFG. LOVE IT!

[@asianfingers999]

Concrete floor in Value Village + slidable shoes = pirouettes Conversation with someone + free space = tendus, rises and releves Flat, stable object at waist height = ballet barre Yeah...

[@xxjoozxx]

Wow This is really creative I really liked it.. That's the kind of video i'd love to see more on youtube. Good work! I really enjoyed Are you in that video by the way?

[@balletbunhead3192]

i would pick those cool turns where she kicks her leg up and the turns into a arabesque as my favrite but then i feel bad about leaving everything else out.

[@LooneyLune]

yup...you can tell when a conversation is getting too long by the extent to which I am unconsciously doing tendus/rond de jambes/releves/other random things.

[@derman077]

Random acts is a great idea. Balet isnt exactly what I am into but you guys are doing great to show people. I would like to see random acts of monster trucks. loll

[@KTtheDancer]

Very cool idea! I dance almost all the time, but I don't know that I would dance on sidewalks like they did. This must have been a lot of fun for the dancers! =)

[@luvedance21]

i LUV this.... this should've been the vid featured. i keep watching it over and over again. wut u guys are doing for ballet and dance in general is awesome :)

[@MidgetBuddie]

Wow! That mustve been fun to do :) ... but i hate how there isnt an anaheim ballet in england :( lol

[@icarrus4u]

@Leetah22 You can dance.

[@KatherineSalvatoreV]

I do this allllll the time, but people look at me like I'm crazy!!! Maybe it's because I don't have a camera in my face, like they do....hmmmmm.....

[@dancingflybird]

you guys should get all of your company dancers and do a ballet flashmob! With like pointe shoes and stuff! That would be something I would want to watch!

[@bunniesandflowers]

hahaha i love this video. esp the italian fuetes in the middle of those ppl. my question is how do you do those things w.o ripping your jeans??? lol

[@SammiaMei]

I'm from New York City, and, I see thinks like this everyday. But no one is as good as you guys!!

[@23pointe]

i always do waltz and turns at mall when im with my friends...theyre always like "stop your embaressing me/us!!!" but i dont care a single bit ♥♥♥

[@shitbear]

every one needs ballet in their life

[@sherthing1]

u can be any age and go back to ballet, even if you dont want to go professional. it's awesome and as long as you love it you can go far. =]]

[@izika1982]

Love it, beautiful. I'd love to walk around in town and suddenly see people do this :) 5 stars

[@BrandilynBreakdown]

Even I, have walked down empty isles in stores and couldn't stop myself to a simple jete combination. Once you start, you can never stop.

[@SarahLouise94]

Yay that was sooo cool!! Thank you for proving we aren't just a group of little girls prancing around in tutus!!! That was sooo amazing!!!!

[@dobby1023]

it never goes away... even as a 21 yr old 6'2" male ballet dancer i still do it in the streets of NY. the crazy looks will never go away

[@BeanaSward]

Totally guilty of random acts of Ballet myself on the Waterfront in southern Ontario. I even had a live soprano to accompany me :D

[@caithead]

haha me too! my most famous spot is the grocery store aisles...the reactions are the best!

[@mydancetv]

So cool! Inspiring.

[@KattyKatrinaFu]

Omg i do this a lot. Like in grocery stores or something. Some people stare at me like What the hell is this girl doing?

[@dangereousdancer]

[@DancingDeity]

hahah i wouldn't have the courage to do that random stuff in a big city infront of strangers..lol..but they're good!

[@SoKaHyun]

hahahaha. i would love to do that in public ! it looks so fun and its sharing the love of dance with other people

[@TheKaela21]

HALF OF MY DANCE GROUP ALMOST GOT LEFT MOVING SLOW AT THE SUBWAY TRAIN STATION 13 SECONDS TO GET ON AND OFF.

[@567axel]

@SmurfzRoxSox but isn't that Bad? aren't you suppose to do Pointe til' you're 12,13 or 14? that's insane.

[@nathanthebomb17]

I can do this. But them being in New York, and doing it Randomly! Wow, this puts what i can do to shame

[@balletflower13]

wow...that is wonderful i love ballet!!!! i have never done it, but i am hoping to start this fall. =D

[@VBrownEyedGirl]

Eww I couldn't imagine my beautius pointe shoes being scaped across the concrete ground of NYC!>.< haha

[@xdancer104x]

[@Heartistic4Him]

I love this so much!! :) NYC is perfect for dancing. I'm going to do this when I go this spring.

[@TheAuroraBallerina]

I love the girl on the subway and how she doesn't care about the fact that people are staring!

[@madteacups]

[@Dancehappy911]

[@broadwayzdance]

[@SandSSxSarah]

when a huge group brakes out into dance randomly in unison, in public

[@19Christi70]

Is the girl at the end on pointe? It will tear the tps of your shoes but it looked good!

[@rossignollyr]

Wow, that last girl was actually doing fouttes on pointe shoes out in the street. @.@

[@celestialheath]

Yay! :D I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the need to dance in random places!

[@Gambizoid]

Does anyone know what this song it? Or where the music is from? I really like it!

[@polkie45]

Ballet is anywhere. Ballet is anyone. Ballet is... NOT HIP HOP.

[@dancergirlmh]

OMG, Its just like me! People are like "That was pretty!" I'm like.. What'd I do?

[@BleachandFMAFan]

This is what I do... All the time, sadly. Except not nearly as well. Bahahahaha.

[@USCBeastmode]

[@CollieKisses]

Haha, notice how some of the people are looking at them like, "what the heck?"

[@dimitrovassileva]

it actually kind of depressing, i'll never be able to dance as well as them...

[@RebDeb64]

Great - but dancing in jeans must be tricky. Not very stretchy things jeans...

[@alternateuniverse88]

[@merelks]
