The Royal Ballet rehearse La Bayadère - World Ballet Day 2018 (Takada, Osipova, Muntagirov)

[@mickeymorgan]

"Speak, rather than make a position" . . . brilliant

[@LanaW123]

Yes, Russian souls do speak the best when it comes to artistry. Also, Osipova is very fluent in this language)))

[@kabardinka1]

Olga Evreinoff's coaching is gold. This level of detail makes the difference between a generic performance and artistry.

Amazing. Olga Everinoff is the coach and she knows absolutely everything about the choreography and how to make it completely effective. I can't believe that I had the opportunity to work with her a long time ago. I had about as much talent as a potato and yet she was still kind, demanding and patient.

[@maririvo]

you made me laugh!! i'm sure you have more talent than a potato hahah

[@geocache99]

correct name is olga evreinoff, not everinoff - from russian "evrey" meaning "jew". the language situation in this episode is quite comic. all three of the participants in rehearsal are native russians; all ballet terminology is naturally in french, and the rehearsal takes place in england, so olga evreinoff speaks english w/ballet pianist and w/ballet dancers, but they often switch to russian. also, you can hear olga evreinoff calling vadim muntagirov "vadik" - it is a diminutive for "vadim", muntagirov's first name.

[@sharonstromley9350]

I don't know how old Olga is here but you can still see elegance in every long line of her body. Her arms and hands are beauty in motion. She has forgotten more than most will ever learn and her love of the dance will always shine out of those fortunate to be trained by her.

Read her biography and do the math (spoiler: she's most likely 90+), she's indestructible.

[@suzannebarton777]

Nice to see Olga coaching rather than teaching a class. Her corrections are so gentle but so clear 😊

[@miguelreynel]

I’ve watched this video I think more than twenty times and it’s always so mesmerizing and ravishing, as the first time. I think the rehearsals have a life no finished piece has... These dancers are so docile and so easily conform to the instructions, and then everything, every movement, every gesture looks so perfect and brilliant. I love these people. They are art themselves, their bodies, their movements, living masterpieces.

[@kari8187]

I need Miss Olga to come and talk me through my daily moves in life , she is delightful and gentle

[@MikiiMikii-cy9rs]

[@laynaribeiro3248]

PERFECTTT

[@AvalonMorley]

So grateful to the RB for making so many wonderful videos of class and rehearsal/coaching available for us to see. It occurs to me that I hope they film (videotape, whatever) as many as possible, if not all such sessions, throughout the company and repertoire; what a fantastic resource for future dancers, directors, etc. Sadly, we are all mortal, and these treasured professionals, guiding younger generations with all the wisdom, strategy and artistry they've amassed, will not be living and active forever, so capturing all we can of their work seems essential.

[@lordbyron3603]

I’m appreciating ballet more because of these rehearsals. So much hard work needed to become an elite dancers.

I was very young when i saw the ballet in London. Now i am 75. I want to come again & see the ballet. What is the price of a ticket??? Pleas, give me the price for a senior lady . Thanks😄🙏🙏🙏 . I will come especialy from Isrsel.

[@isamm5579]

I'm discovering Akane Takada in this video and only today. My God! She has beautiful lines, beautiful face and her dancing i stunning. I don't know how old she is but I think it's time for the ROH to show us people with that inner elegance.

[@barbaralemere1852]

"Speak more than make a position." Very important! Beautiful job by Akane. Really coming together.

[@angeladanovi391]

I watched the class video and now this one. I really really like how Olga Evreinoff ran her class and runs this rehearsal. She has a very welcoming presence and also gives really meaningful direction that is specific and understandable. The dancers can make the improvement and correction.

[@susanpaul4752]

What a treasure Olga Evreinoff is, as is the pianist and of course, the dancers, Osipova, Montagirov and Takada. All are top of the world class professionals and it is such a joy and privilege to be in the room with them, virtually, witnessing this extraordinary coaching session. This is exactly what produces the sterling quality of a Royal Ballet performance, consistently and predictably. Glorious, always! I have watched this video many times, still finding every moment to be worthy of full attention. Evreinoff is really magnificent. Wondering if there are videos of her dancing. I think it was with Leningrad Kirov.

[@pedinurse1]

How they turn in one second from a casual position to the most delicate and sublime movements can only be achieved after many, many years of sacrifice and dedication. As for Ms. Evreinoff, I'm speechless.

I really enjoyed watching Olga's detailed coaching of Vadim and Natalia. But what also impressed me is that they are all Russians bilingual in English and maybe more languages as well.

I am watching this again & have a number of the Royal Ballet rehersal videos. Not sure if commented before (can see the like others though 😝) but think I am seeing better what is going on - acting lessons. Marvelous, and enjoying just as much each time. Learning and better appreciating fine ballet. Any dancer with the company has to be good 😏 duh. What sets a story performance apart is the acting thru gesture (for lack of a better word) to tell it w/music & w/o dialogue. And told well, I hear it in the coaching and SEE it reflected in the dancers response - subtleties to incorporate into the extraordinary athleticism of ballet technique. Like the dance isn't difficult enough already. 😒 No dancer here but wish I was & admired ballet from first aware (most likely a Nutcracker on TV 😁) and will never forget my first production company visiting my small town decades ago. Unaware of the 'story' beforehand & w/o live music it was told so clearly the last 3rd was desperately stiffling sobs and blouse wet from streaming tears. Thank you The Royal Ballet for sharing this and these aspect(s) of performances with me, I enjoy every part and revisit the videos. And every time wish there was a full Alice in Wonderland. 😜 Thousands of miles from just the West Coast of North America - if it is there to put on KZbin, please 🙏. The clips are fantastic!
