INSANELY TALENTED Ballet Dancers (gender reveal!)

[@michaelaschwaiger8229]

Melanie even did 20!!!!

[@AngelaSmith_1970]

She’s so amazing 🤩

[@simmerscrossing]

I want to see Josephine react to that! It’s a cute video too, because she gets all emotional. So so cute!

[@Luubelaar]

IIRC, her record is 22 now. She's unreal.

[@alleyrxse]

@@Luubelaaris there a video of that?? that's insane

[@katiebwheeler]

it was crazy!

[@annettefournier9655]

Melanie has done 20 pirouette revolutions. It was a $1000 dollar offer by the photographer. And she did it!

[@thisthatandtheother2226]

I love watching her! And the rest of the students featured on the photographer KZbin shorts

[@lorawiseman8847]

Eva Nys is the dance photographer!

[@brissygirl4997]

I like watching Eva learn ballet from the girls that she films. Her facial expressions are quite fun to watch.

[@samanthawatts8147]

I like the dancers support despite the mixed result. Eva was allowed to join their nutcracker as a mouse!

[@sacrebleu1371]

​@@samanthawatts8147I thought they were rats, with a rat king. I didn't know the Rat king is a variation. Love learning.

[@lasylphide-s5j]

Maya Schonbrunn became a SOLOIST TODAY at the RSB 🎉🥳 ❤ Madde Woo is also at the Royal Swedish ballet (not Swedish national ballet) that’s the company in Gothenburg ;) That clip is from their big rehearsal room. Yes I danced there a loooong time ago.

[@ritawing1064]

Loved her Queen of the Dryads.

[@NonChatLant]

YES MAYUHhH!!!

[@ivyarianrhod]

Congrats to Maya!!!! I wish I could see video of her recent Odette/Odile.

[@hajarmdn4883]

The fact that she is still so young and is already doing roles like Odette/Odile 😭😭 I can see her become a principal dancer in no time.

[@beatriznavarro9814]

Maya was also the one right in front of Madde woo!!! The basketball shorts totally gives her away

[@milachavezz]

I’m laughing so hard at the “I’m just Ken” moment. So true lol

[@HarperMontello]

you took my words out of my mouth

[@stoldbyJ]

The “I’d rather be doing pirouettes” is so much funnier when you know that Tessa is know for not being a turner (Note:her turns are fine, I’ve seen her do four clean on point but everyone at that school is insane)

[@lily_davies28]

Yess, she is rather a leg person 😂

[@pamconboy4315]

“Why are there so many of you in the same place” This speaks volumes to the quality of the trainers - yes the basic talent has to be there, but it takes the right coaching to bring it out and develop it. I could watch Melanie for hours 🥰

[@ThatGingerHannah]

Congratulations! Melanie did 20 pirouettes! 20!!!! She is a beats and so is Maya. I wish I could see Maya dance in person.

[@SuzannaLiessa]

I've seen the vid. Amazing.

[@Teverell]

Marianela! That smile on her face was pure 'I'm doing what I love to do and having the BEST time doing it!'

[@gabrielle4821]

Ikr! 😭 She’s such a beautiful dancer!!

[@pettiestbettyart]

I love watching her, like she doesn't just show her love for dance, she shares it so you can feel it too

[@bernadetteballerina9358]

The “JOY!” of her artistry! I love it. The technique has confidence, she she can just dance with joy!

[@LunaLightbringer]

She danced Sugarplum Fairy for the Royal Ballet (I think it was?) a couple of years ago and I have the footage of it, I've watched it over and over, she's my favourite Sugarplum EVER 😌

[@nylapierce1719]

Have you seen Marianela and Carlos Acosta do the ribbon pas from LA Fille Mal Gardee? A must see. It's on youtube.

[@laurac86]

Melanie and Maya are two of my absolute favorite dancers!! And Melanie did TWENTY pirouettes!!!!!

[@mayalaukaran7935]

I remember reading that Maya didn’t start ballet until she was 13. She had been dancing since she was little, but still. The fact that she didn’t start ballet until she was 13 and got so good so quickly…

[@anonymous-h4m2e]

I went to her old studio. She grew up doing ballet, it wasn’t till she was 13 that she took it more seriously and switched to Master.

[@hensku.3000]

I looove watching the MBA students! They’re all so incredibly talented! 😍 And congratulations Josephine!! 🙌

[@chloevega5711]

8:50 she did 20💀💀💀. i am so glad to see maya, mel, michal, and the rest of MBA in this video!!!😆 CONGRATS JOSEPHINE!!!

[@tallgabriella]

Hope we’ll see Tessa too💔

[@ivyarianrhod]

@@tallgabriella She's got the extensions Josephine loves so much!

[@hajarmdn4883]

@@ivyarianrhodyes. Those legs are so pretty, not in a creepy way lol. I always find myself sounding like a pervert with a foot fetish when speaking about ballet lol. But seriously Tessa is amazing, it sucks that she seems stuck on her pirouettes, though whenever she pushes through, she can do quite good, she just needs more hyping and higher self esteem

[@imirhwklw]

@@tallgabriella me too. also parker and victoria

[@bernadetteballerina9358]

Tessa laughing in the “boys” class!

[@WhyFUNKY]

Maria looks so happy to dance she doesn't look upset or tired or anything she seems so joyful and so excited to be able to do this incredible style of dance

[@pamw565]

My mother, father and I ended up in Russia as one of the stops of a cruise we were doing. My mother I both wanted to see a ballet my father very reluctantly came with us. We saw Swan Lake. After the performance my father could not stop talking about how amazing it had been. The power of dance.

[@edelweissdebergbaldrian7696]

You are a very lucky person! ❤

[@dancinggiraffe6058]

Back in the late 1950s, my mother, who loved ballet, managed to persuade my stepfather, an amateur track and field athlete, to go with her to see the Bolshoi on their first visit to San Francisco. I think he was talking about Nikolai Fadeyechev when he said “That guy broke the records for broad jump and high jump simultaneously!“ He was so impressed that when my mother decided to take adult beginning ballet classes at the SFB school, he even took classes with her for a while! (But actually, I think he mainly did it to try to make his calves bigger, as he was also a bodybuilder.)

[@Idge68]

​@@dancinggiraffe6058What a great story. Your mother & step father sound like an impressive couple. Lucky u 🙂❣️✨

[@dancinggiraffe6058]

@@Idge68 In some ways, especially at the beginning of their marriage. But eventually his drinking caused too much trouble.

[@janet_m777]

Congrats Josephine to you and your honey!!! We just want everyone happy & healthy!!!

[@cloverhighfive]

As someone completely outside of ballet, I love those videos where you explain what you find beautiful and why things are so impressive. I've learned a lot on your channel and I love learning more.

[@OmegaOtouto]

Josephine looks incredible. I love her hair. Congrats! Hope the baby will be as into ballet as mom is.

[@skateata1]

I love watching the videos of Melanie, Maya and other dancers on Eva's photography. ❤

[@IAmLucipurr]

lmao the girls learning the boys jumps at the end sent me 😂😂😂

[@voxborealis972]

Congratulations Josephine🥰 wish you health and wellbeing throughout the pregnancy! Thanks for all your fun and lovely videos! One of the higlights of the week!🙏🩰❣️

[@julialevy5832]

congradulations!! you are a light of joy

[@sba8710]

Please keep doing these. I love finding out about the great dancers. Congratulations on your baby!!

[@mayanderes9084]

Congratulations on your baby!!!! 🥰 And I love that you said we could guess but not spoil it in the comments, I always hate it when I accidentally see a spoiler 😂😂

[@ivyarianrhod]

I've seen three spoilers so far... Luckily I didn't read the comments until I finished the video! Edit: Make that five. 😡

[@auntiemjo]

OOOMG How exciting!!! Thanks for letting us in on your secret. 🤩

[@ErinPero-j4i]

Totally keep up w these videos! I know literally NOTHING about ballet, but I'm obsessed w watching EvaNysPhotography after it randomly showed up on my feed. As did you and I am OBSESSED! The dancers you showed in this video are often the ones she highlights in hers as well. Getting to watch such talented ppl on more channels is great. Not only for us viewers, but for the exposure you're generating by picturing them on your channel. Had I not randomly come across both of you guy's channels I'd never have thought about it. I believe that you'll b helping bring a whole new and quite sizeable audience of ballet enthusiasts and giving ppl the opportunity to become fans not only of the art, but of the individual dancers themselves. I commend you for that. And so, w that entire book basically said was, yeah, I dig the videos, you should keep doing them, lol!

[@kimschannel5567]

Same for me! Eva’s videos randomly started showing up on my feed as well and I have been obsessed with her work and all other ballet videos ever since. I think I am living vicariously through these dancers, as I would never have had the physical ability to do what they do. I admire their ability, talent, and artistry so much! And Eva’s ability to capture all the behind the scenes hard work that goes into it is truly impressive!

[@mayalaukaran7935]

Maya Nagahisa’s dancing feels like it exists in the space between heartbeats.

[@lisasharf1442]

What a perfect description!

[@Midoriventure]

Watching her reminded me of a saying I once heard, ''Music is the silence between the notes.''

[@Pink_Aqua]

I knew it!! Yay!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

[@sebumpostmortem]

Please, we need you to visit and fit the MBA in the future, Josephine. Take care, my dear🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@aksannyi]

I am 100% on team extension with you. I could watch videos like this all day. Not that you have time, but if you put on a 10h video of just beautiful dancers and Josephine reacting to it, I would watch. I love the tiktok series, but I'd love this as a new form of content.

[@Hi-js6kz]

Here for guessing!!!! By the amount of pink decor; mainly flowers and I think the tea cup, also subtitles during the are you ready bit, I’m going with girl. Could be red herrings or me over thinking but what ever!

[@littleredbender]

I can't decide if all the pink stuff in the background is meant to confuse us or if it's actually a hint.

[@littlebigkicker]

I.think that's a pillow 😂

[@littleredbender]

@@littlebigkicker Yes obviously 😂 I was also referring to the flowers and the ballet slipper on the wall

[@littlebigkicker]

@@littleredbender oh lmao

[@jazleyfaith]

it's just my living room & i like pink (no surprise there!) 😂

[@gypsyrose1313]

Congratulations!! 🎉 I love watching your reactions. I’ve never been involved in ballet, but you have taught me so much! Thank you! I would love to see you work with the Quiner sisters.

Congrats Josephine!!! Hope the little one grows to be healthy and happy ❤

[@JuliaBeatriz-th3ol]

Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you and your baby ❤

[@jessicadarling808]

This was one of my favourite reaction clips. I could watch talented dancers all day, and to see you get as excited as I do is refreshing. It makes this old retired dancer feel less of a loser watching up and coming dancers all the time.

[@graceyamaguchi75]

loving the amount of MBA videos here! and congratz Josephine ❤

[@FactsMatter87]

Congratulations on your baby! I hope the rest of the pregnancy treats you both wonderfully!

[@EmmaFriedlander]

You need to react to Melanie doing 20 pirrouettes!

[@Jenwatches2]

Yes, please do more of these ballet videos! I love watching them. I am not built like a ballerina but many, many years ago I took several ballet classes. I have SO much appreciation for what they do and how they make it look easy. It's not!

[@pmac4779]

Oh, I'm so happy for Maya. she and Melanie are two of my favorites. Please do more of these. The only word for the dancers in this video is EXQUISITE!!!

[@lannyoneill3489]

11:14 yes, I agree so much! This is one thing I really commend my teacher on because she taught my all-girls class a traditionally male jump, and told us that it was stupid that only men did it and women could do it too. That really inspired me, we need more teachers like her!

[@ssaguilar2]

I love that Josephine and I are due around the same time. We're also having the same thing. I hope your pregnancy journey has been good. I have 12 days left, so I'm enjoying the last of it now. Can't wait to hear what name you picked out. 😊

[@violetnorwen8491]

Congratulations Josephine!!!

[@Izzie05]

You should react to Luciana Sagioro. She just turned 18 and it's already a dancer at Paris Opera, she came in third place in Prix de Lausanne when she was only 15.

[@ChristenSapnas]

TWENTY! Makes me feel better to hear even Josephine say it is “upsetting”. It is surreal how beautiful and talented they are now.

Team extensions! I really love to watch Maya; so sweet and strong. Khoreva makes me stare at her. 😲 Marianela Nunez I have never seen before; love her expressiveness. More videos like this, please! So many congratulations on your little one! ❤

[@sebumpostmortem]

Not ballet but she was a ballet student "stolen" to be a RG: Yulia Barsoukova ball Atlanta (type this and you' ll find a bunch of videos from this routine of 1996). Spoiler: Swan Lake music. Warning: Watch until the *VERY* end 😉. Another crazy ballet-esque extensions in RG: Elena Sudakova, Olga Gontar, Tamara Yerofeeva, Katsiaryna Halkina/Yekaterina Galkina. Non ballet-esque but unhuman leg-instep extensions: Olga Kapranova, Aleksandra Soldatova, Lala Kramarenko. Enjoy! 🖤

I start dance on July third you inspired me I’m doing acro jazz and Disney

" what is in your water? Like.. What are they feeding you?"🤣😂😅😆 That was funny. I've never danced ballet. I'm a Broadway/ musical / lyrical/ modern type of dancer that just LOVES TO BINGE WATCH Ballet videos. And those 2 girls who comment and reacts to ballet dancers... I'm addicted! I love your videos too. You are so relatable!❤.

[@GiannaAragona]

As a previous MBA Master Ballet Academy dancer, it's really hard to get into the classes unless a teacher recommends you or you have siblings that go there. I was only able to do the "Adult Beginner Classes," which had more realistic dancers other than the prodigy's. You have to be dancing everyday for hours & be homeschooled to get to their levels. Most dancers there pay $500 a week in just group classes, not including privates, costumes & comps. I paid $50 a week for 2 one hour classes which is already a lot for me since I'm a college student making minimum wage.

[@AngelaSmith_1970]

Again congratulations on your upcoming baby, as a mom of 6 and new grandma, I’m so excited for you 👶 🥰🥰🥰
