Such a polite, professional choreographer. I've worked with some real a*holes, and I was just a kid in ballet...many years ago.

[@itsmesirpie3590]

i agree ..

I always find the rehearsals and classes so fascinating.

[@vivianclaire8678]

Me too! As an aspiring ballerina these are an inside look of what I might do some day.

[@matiasblanco4300]

It's cute. Becouse as the instructor is explaining to them the dancers are all just jumping up and down and turning in circles

[@matiasblanco4300]

I could never understand this language. Lol there just all like yes, and he is like do lalala and step 1,2,3,4 wait for pomegranate then jump and promenade ta,ta...lol

[@elizzy8754]

@@matiasblanco4300 Great description! That's why you start very young in order to build coordination of mind and body. Certain combinations, position of hands, arms, head, feet thus become second nature and you can concentrate on new moves and your artistic expression. That's what I found so difficult when I re-started ballet in my early twenties. The automatic mind plus muscle responses for an enchaînement were not there. It was still worth every minute though.

[@Maddy-oi8nl]

I absolutely love Valentino‘s choreography and the music! And it’s a great chance to see more of the young talents 😍 It was definitely one of my highlights of world ballet day

[@margaretlavender9647]

Rachmaninov - Symphony No. 2 I’m sure. It’s absolutely stunning music!

The arts always prevail. They are like food for the soul!

I love everything about "Scherzo". How can I find a list of the dancers? I want to follow the progress of these very young stars-to-be.

[@mojovr5003]

Lucas Bjarneboe Braensrod & Mariko Sasaki (1st couple, long blonde guy an lady in blue) Harris Bell & Sae Maeda (2nd couple, guy in blue pants and lady in purple) Liam Boswell (beige short sleeve, black shorts) Joe Aumeer (grey shirt green shorts) Leo Dixon (nude shorts) Giacomo Rovero (long green pants) Taisuke Nakao (white shirt) Francisco Serrano (red shirt) Leticia Dias (red lacey leo) Madison Bailey (greyish leo) Sophie Allnatt (green leo) Sumina Sasaki (yellow leo) Yu Hang (brownish leo) Bomin Kim (light purple leo) Might have some mixed up (especially the ladies) because I don't know the dancers in the lower ranks as well as the others

I'm sorry but..... does this person know how to count the music? Ridiculous!

[@fritzmasten7675]

I'm also a little puzzled by all tjis praise.

[@paulybarr]

Which person?

[@sheiringhoddoucy1804]

I can only assume dancers count music differently than musicians, using some bizarre and arcane method that doesn’t actually follow the beat. It doesn’t make sense to me as an amateur pianist, but the other dancers seem to follow his count.

[@align1712]

Phenomenal choreography from Valentino - all the tricks and each dancers talents being shown off...just how it should be!

Are they really, each and every one, beautiful? Or is it just that the art of ballet is doing exactly what it was created to do, and making them look that way?

Hours and hours of practice!!!

[@powerofalto]

Zucchetti is such a professional and so clear in his feedback. It’s very impressive. The choreography is spellbinding. So musical! World class dancing from such young dancers.

[@TheSorub]

I think this could be the future new dance pieces that are created to showoff the depth in talent of the whole company not just the principals and first soloists

Highlight of WBD 2020 for me - Valentino's choreography was fresh and exciting yet still embodied Royal Ballet's traditional strengths by really showing off all the dancers' performance quality, speed and precision in a true ensemble piece. I found their energy was uplifting and utterly inspiring, thank you!

sooooooo much great dancing it was a delight .... I literally cried seeing so many young talented dancers executing this complex choreography with so much grace and enjoyment. AMAZING :-)

[@mikiohirata9627]

Valentino Zucchetti's choreo on this piece is FANTASTIC. Isved it to come back to watch again later and still dumb founded how great this program is. It's a master piece as far as I'm concerned. Show it in regular season at ROH PLEASE !!!! このズケッテイ振付最近視た有名バレー団のコンテの中では最高だと思う。ダンサーの入り、はけが面白くそれぞれの持ち味をうまく引き出してROHらしい品の有る作品に成ってますよね。 その上日本人ダンサーが何人いるのヴァレンチノとROHがいかに高く評価しているかの表れですよね。誇らしく思います。応援しています。

[@imagineaworld100]

I want to see more Valentino choreography!! This is so good!! Can't wait to see the whole show!

[@helpimlost.62]

With all of the beauty and grace of ballet, you don't realise what amazing athletes they are.

[@123bunnydance]

Uggh this was absolutely divine! The way the men just looked like they were floating in the air yet graceful and elegant.. also the entrance at 20:47 was beautiful. Took my breathe away of how clean and smooth it was executed.. this whole group was just amazing overall. Well done!! Also love how each step they make was so well coordinated with the music just.. ugh! So good!!

I always thought Valentino was never showcased by the RB as much as he deserved [The best "Puck" ever], but maybe they realised what a choreographer he would become. Wonderful stuff!

[@toshanichols2285]

14:35-15:41 she was/ looked AMAZING and he worked so hard to make sure she looked amazing!!!!! Great job. My favorite part of the ballet. She just needs to get her foot/leg behind him better on the beginning of their part 😍😍😍

I could spend the whole day seeing them dancing... The choreographer is very sensitive and polite...

Well, he IS one of their colleagues, after all! But from what I have seen and heard from him elsewhere in interviews, he does indeed seem like a hell of a nice guy, as well as a wonderful dancer in the company.
