She was really kind to Natalie, the dancer that doubled for her seemed put out that Natalie practiced for about six months and she felt that Natalie won the Academy for her dancing. I think the Academy gave her the award for her complete performance. Same thing as I recall for the body double for Flashdance.

Especially when she extended her arms you could see the strength in her arms.

And, when Sarah said that she did about 90% of the FULL body dance scenes the directer implied that she was lying by saying that he counted all the dance scenes and that Natalie did 80% of them (but he failed to say that those where mostly above the waist scenes and that 90% of the FULL body dance scenes were in fact Sarah dancing). Natalie did not say anything about that other than talking about her training for a year, but the PR people did make it seem like her 1year training allowed her to execute dance moves that someone who trained 20+ years can do (and a lot of people at the time did believe that this was true out of pure ignorance on the amount of training it takes to be a ballet dancer).

At the time Black Swan came out, another ballet-themed movie called "Mao's Last Dancer" came out and became a hit in Australia. It features several superbly danced ballet sequences, including a memorable one with a Communist theme. No double was needed because the lead actor was Birmingham Royal Ballet principal Dancer Chi Cao, who did all his dancing in the movie. The fact-based story is about a Chinese ballet dancer who defected to the US in the 80s and then moved to Australia.

Something in me tells me they didn’t research Isabella enough when they asked her to watch Black Swan and put her and a clip from it in the thumbnail. Isabella is a class act, but it looks like the crew maybe should have looked harder.

Isabella is indeed a class act and a fantastic dancer.

The fact that always sunny got a better score than black swan is hilarious, yet awesome

I actually didn't know what Firebird was about... now it makes sense that Anna Scherbakova skated to it... she broke her leg a few years ago very badly, and has come back to win Russian Nationals 2x now. The leg break was the connection.

8:08 Sarah lane is such an amazing person! I’ve danced on stage with her and actually have taken classes taught by her, and she is such an amazing person! I have a memory where I was young and about to go on stage during the nutcracker, and Sarah lane who was also backstage looked at me and said “good luck!” I was 14, and was absolutely starstruck.

That Always Sunny routine was honestly one of the most surprising things I ever watched. I never expected a show so funny and light hearted to blow me away with such a moving dance performance.

I loved this movie so much. I used to watch it every morning before school sophomore year and junior year while I was getting ready. I danced from age 3 until 17 when I tore my knee up, tried dancing until 20 and tore the same knee, so I had to quit. Tore me up too lol. It's hard watching dance stuff now, it's rare but when I do, I usually cry lol. But I saw this video and all the nostalgia hit me again. I've not been doing anything truly physical except a little joking around zumba with my 4 year old and I walk everywhere, I still have the dancers body because I still "dance" but nothing too strenuous on my knee, and not ballet like I did. And now I'm 36 and my daughter dances but I can't afford classes so we dance at home and she loves it. I think I might show her some of these movies, she loves dancing movies and doesn't like cartoons. And I'm rambling. I'm hit with all this nostalgia 😢😂

"I'm not a spy" That's exactly what a spy would say

Yall remember when natalie portman said she learned to dance on pointe in a couple of months for black swan🙄 giving no credit to the actual dancer

I love how humble and kind she is despite being one of the best ballerinas (in my opinion) in the world. Ahhh thank you so much Insider for this video

I love ballet and watched many of the movies Isabella critiqued. Thanks for confirming for us (and especially me) that indeed, professional ballerinas were doing the main dancing in those movies. I had a difficult time thinking Natalie Portman or Jennifer Lawrence, etc., though very good in what they do, actually had time to become that expert in such an exacting field.

OK, normally most social media films are self-aggrandising "look at me saying something unimportant" posts. But this is film is truly educational and a proper artistic critique from a professional dancer, commenting on her speciality and giving fascinating insights, in an accessible, interesting way. I have learned so much. Thank you!

the titel said iconic *ballet* scenes yet most of the shown dances were modern
