Dancers: Master Ballet Academy under direction of Slawomir & Irena Wozniak

[@macaron_ii]

Eva: “how are we feeling today?” Slawomir, the dramaiest of drama queens: “terrible! Look at this!” *points at chaos*

[@AltinSulaj-ul2yk]

What the fuck

[@IwonaF333]

He's just Polish. That's our vibe 😂🇵🇱

[@natashahallett5907]

Slawomir saying “I’m ….feeling great” with pure madness in his eyes honestly sums up nutcracker season

[@JacquelineStrawberrykeep]

the fact ballerinas spin like 100mph and that’s a normal day… if I attempted that I’d easily break a hip.

[@tt7762]

I'm watching cross legged and my quadriceps muscles are already hurting, what about if I just thought about trying to spin 😂! I'd need physiotherapy and rehabilitation for months 🤣!

[@JacquelineStrawberrykeep]

@@tt7762 😂, it is truly impressive how ballerinas do their sport.

[@tt7762]

@@JacquelineStrawberrykeep yeah 😂 they're doing it so gracefully as if it's so easy and not that they have already trained and practised several days in advance 🤣 kudos to them!

[@DominicMagrinoMassageTherapist]

Practice makes a difference

[@andream9470]

On their tiptoes

[@A_keo]

Slawomir stopping the music mid dance and saying "What's going on?" is giving me flashbacks to Christmas dance show rehearsals, you know you're in trouble when the teacher does that

[@macaron_ii]

The chaos of this video 😭😭😭 “Terrible! Look at this!” “SMELL. THE WINE.” Just Parker everything “Is slawek cosplaying you?” Cue slawomir’s evil glare *michal flexing and admiring his arms* “How about,” sassy voice “in the center?”

[@Evanysphotography]

Smell the wine SENDS ME!!!😂😂😂

[@leoswift6938]

Melanie just slays every single time it’s insane

[@estephaniabarkow4410]

Fr❤

[@oliviag2026]

Slawomir saying “I don’t know what to say because um……… it’s….. a ✨disaster✨” is the best thing ever

[@redamancy119]

Congratulations to Tessa!! That’s a precious opportunity

[@griffinzoo]

I think she was in Louisiana with of our dancers, Drake!

[@abbiearnou4191]

I'm obsessed with Slawomir, I'm his biggest fan. Master Ballet Academy could absolutely have a tv show and He is the main character.

[@gentlegypsyasmr]

Michael checking his arms in the mirror! 😂😂😂😂 Slawek hunching playing full role! This school is hilarious!

[@BlackCat69909]

I think it's great that beneath all the rigor and hard work, they still maintain a nurturing atmosphere and allow the playfulness that is needed to turn ballett from a sport into an art form. That's what allows the dancers to reach their potential.

[@PaigeNewberry]

And to allow children to be childlike, playful, and goofy. BUT… They obviously make the kids be serious long enough to learn ballet with the best of them! I swear to God, the school is one of the best in the country! How do you do it Slovomir and Irena?

[@minsunkang7264]

NO BUT CARLO AT 9:36 SLAYED SO HARD

[@user-qw6cf1uj7v]

FR

[@Mrpresident5066]

Oh my goodness Eva, this vlog is everything. Literally made me feel like I was there, I really want to be a ballerina but I can't but this video made me feel like I was at the rehearsals myself. More vlogs please

[@Evanysphotography]

❤❤❤

[@graceyamaguchi75]

yes, agree! thank you for this eva

[@bernadetteballerina9358]

I actually miss Nutcracker… 😢

[@Cybereve]

What I noticed, and really liked, is the diversity in skin color and body types. And showing normal eating and casual talking about food. And no screaming/hostility in the rehearsals. I get that people can act differently in front of a camera and sure there is a lot we don't get to see, but everybody seemed relaxed and natural and talking freely, and I don't believe you can fake that for so long, especially with the younger dancers and children. And although I know how hard and stressful ballet can be, this looks like a healthy environment to me.

[@user-nr3yi9qq1x]

The first sentence was very rude😢

[@Cybereve]

​​@@user-nr3yi9qq1xWhat on earth is rude on likeing diversity??? Ballet is notoriously known for being "white washed" and promoting an unsustainable body image and unhealthy eating habits. In other words, there is a prevalent image of ballet being only for small, skinny, white girls. And even some more rude stereotypes for boys. Which I find terrible. So I am really glad to see a school/company where there are not only white or paper-thin students. And I don't see what should be rude about that.

[@averyandersen9418]

Slawomir “ SmElL tHe WiNe sMeLl iT” one of my favorite lines

[@Ampsio]

I LOVE that kind of videos. Pleaseee do more of these.🎉❤

[@Evanysphotography]

Absolutely 🫡🫡

[@Ampsio]

Thank youu!!

[@emelymarks3172]

I love how Slawomir's and Irena's outfits match... So iconic🙌💗

[@lazitazi5645]

One thing I like about this is that the teacher is strict, but outside rehearsals and classes, he's approachable when you're close enough. He's someone you can vibe with as long as you treat him with respect

[@chelsealau5441]

For a ballerina, Slawomir going: 'this is a disaster' is so accurate.

[@nourxs]

Slawomir is actually the funniest man ever we love him

[@gentlegypsyasmr]

Everyone crushin' on Slawek! Lol❤😂 Both brothers are blessed just to be fair.

[@haleyscore8477]

The amount and complexity of the choreography involved in this is impressive. And all the different age groups working in tandem to form a cohesive unit is just as mind boggling. That and seeing such little children so disciplined and well trained in the art as well.

[@philaeew4866]

what a chaotic mess... in the best way. Being a ballet instructor, keeping everyone motivated and overseeing everything all at once must be incredibly challenging. Big respect to the dancers and the coaches. It's a joy to watch and it must be a great feeling participating. I wish I could see a show live once!

[@rajindersinghsidhu4302]

Melanie needs to go for a pirouette world record - her pirouettes are amazing 🤩

[@Gracemck]

Slawomir : 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️ “He’s a runner he’s a track star” TOOK ME OUT 💀

[@elizabethweber3316]

In a strange way this energy reminds me of orchestra rehearsals - it’s so fun to see the other side of things!

[@kaylivelazquez7354]

So real

[@redamancy119]

It’s so lovely to see this kind of vlogs🥰 yall are like a huge warming family gathered for the celebration of Christmas, and the rehearsals seemed so much fun! so happy watching it

[@cellomommy]

I remember when my daughter was young she danced in Nutcracker with Fokine Ballet and I was stage manager Slawomir Wozniak was the Prince and Kat Wildish was Sugar Plum. They were wonderful! He came to NJ many times to do that role. What a treat to see him pass the torch to another generation.

[@aristired6252]

I would love to see the audition process and casting results for a show like this. Everyone does amazing every year. It’s so impressive to see how many different roles people play each year!

[@Tioko]

17:13 Am Russian, can confirm: “ya ne znayu” does mean “I don’t know” :)

[@Evanysphotography]

Thank gosh 😂❤

[@GingerNinja1]

Melanie nails it every time!! She shines so brightly with her graceful yet bada$$ skills!😂

[@ambz418]

YAAAS CARLO THAT TURN WAS GREAT!!

[@glutenfreebees]

14:17 I guess it's just a universal thing that every dance studio has at least one person who knows how to do the back cracking thing

[@user-vi8uf6zo5w]

Where is LilaRose🤔

[@anaellesia7818]

Everything is just so chaotic and organised at the same time 😂 There's just too much going on, but one thing is for sure: this ballet school looks really funny! Eva, you have to keep up with these vlogs. I think I'm not the only one who had a great time watching it :)

[@cadencescrazylife]

Eva is like that one stray cat or dog that tags along and is just there during everything and in the midst of the chaos…I love it ❤

[@user-zo4uv9gn9o]

i love the little smirks from the soldiers!!! my daughter was a soldier this year in our production and had the hardest time staying in character as serious or scared because she was having so much fun watching all the chaos of the Battle Scene unfolding around her

[@sarahbeth3472]

"You shifted the circle again. Come on!" Sign of a good teacher 😂 I always love rehearsal days! It's long and exhausting, but so fun to watch it all come together!

[@MissSurpremeBallerina]

Slawomir is ICONIC a literally icon. I wish he was my teacher ✨👹👹👹

[@jankoraven]

Our little community Nutcracker I'm in every year was last weekend and I didn't do much in it this year because I'm pregnant, so I'm absolutely thriving off of the extra rehearsal chaos energy ❤ These dancers are amazing!

[@bethanyvivanco3356]

12:16 Am I the only one who noticed Parker not jumping? 😂

[@Reese-test]

Slawomir: “YOu cAn bE tHE drAgOn’s aSs” 💅😛👑

[@aishwarivania]

i really hope u continue these rehearsals as series❤❤❤❤ love the energy in the studio❤🎉

[@mermaidopulence8539]

I'm sorry but Queen Baby will always steal my heart 🥰😍❤️💜

[@clumsyugly7984]

the amount of pure satisfying chaos is both wild and amazing!!! as someone in theatre its great to see other rehearsals and backstage work, and im glad you also acknowledged the amount of organization needed for costumes... but im so jealous of how much storage the academy seems to have

[@notalcno9]

Thank you Eva. We're lucky to have you record this. Fantastic vlog. Everyone did their part.❤🎉🎉❤

[@Itz._.YanYan]

I love how the little girl in the purple leotard did this big jumps behind the cheese ❤️

[@gabisofiax]

victoria is such a darling little dancer🥹

[@user-mp1hv2ng4z]

Interesting video about the reality of a ballet lesson. You are radiant: that’s a pleasure. Thank you for all of your work, for taking risks by exposing yourself. Sincere compliments on your incredible progress in the “relentless” world of ballet. All the best to you for the rest of your artistic work. Thank you very much for sharing

[@cloroxicity5698]

*abrupt music stop* "whats going on?" 🤨 /|> _/| unmatched levels of sass

[@livinaday8554]

CARLO YOU BETTER EAT THAT SHIT UP!!! What a little STAR!

[@jessicab2409]

I wait all year for your nutcracker vids Eva! They bring a lot of joy 😂 ♥️

[@tanja3611]

HONESTLY i feel like that 20 pirouettes for 1000 dollar challenge was SO good for melanies turns she is so stable now

[@katekramer7679]

Oooh which video?

[@paigenava7535]

I love watching these videos bc from what the videos show the studio is a very tight nit almost like family and it’s just great Ik everyone will do great

[@Peepaleep]

I don’t see Leo anymore… 😢 but the chaos just goes up and up every year lmao! Congrats to Tessa, I’m sure she did great!!!

[@le_gouvernement_ouzbek]

I miss him too :((((( but it's ok we can look out for mini lorax now 🙃

[@risotto4life577]

[@ilznidiotic]

@@risotto4life577 I bet it was his flying squirrel move that got him the job!

[@strugglingworld9788]

[@rhiannonkitchener]

I'm new to your channel and by no means a ballerina of any sorts, seeing this vlog pop up should not have made me as excited as it did 🤣

[@Jumi_WasHere]

Just wanted to say I’ve watched Zane’s part too many times he kills it at 5:05 👏🏻

[@ashleexanna]

Melanie is so cool, love watching her dance!

[@Lidiia-qe8ip]

At 17:14 he said:" Я не знаю" in russian, and it truly means:"i don't know"

[@Swaggylee_Aldc3]

I was literally obsessed with you guys as soon as I found you. Ballet classes are my dream but I live in NJ so there is not many places to go to that aren’t expensive. I am hoping maybe one day my parents as a birthday gift or Christmas gift would get me lessons for ballet.

[@R1R1.L0V3S.]

Guys Slawomir slayed so hard 😭😭

[@olivia.sydney]

6:48 harrison is so cute his smile is contagious
