Okay so I know literally nothing about serious ballet, but they painted Joffrey ballet as this big important school and then they go to this tiny competition, I sorta imagined it way bigger... idk am I over thinking this?

Pretty sure it is Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens - I heard it in an earlier episode and I know that’s the song they played - I’m just not sure wether or not that’s the one they actually used for competition. If so - they can’t ask for permission to use it, Saint-Saens died in 1921 LOL
Idk I didn't think the dance was that good, especially coming from Joffrey. Half the time they weren't even together

I think the biggest problem was the amount of cutting done -- like I know we need to see the reactions from the choreographers, but I have no idea what this dance looks like completed. Maybe have them talk and then flashback to the part of the dance they're referring to? I just wish I saw the actual dance and not just chopped up parts! But I know there's a time limit to these episodes, so...

Am I the only one who didn't care for their choreography at all? I just don't get anything out of it, and for me personally it looks like they are trying too hard to be artistic and contemporary.. That's just my preference though!

I agree about the choreography. And I'm also bothered by Kate's lack of technique. Her port de bras, specifically her hands, are horrible. Her turnout in arabesque is lacking and her feet sickle quite a bit. I'm stunned she is an advanced student at this school and these things haven't been corrected. I honestly felt that I was watching a recreational dancer and not a pre-professional dancer.

I feel like a lot of the dance was modern movement in between poorly executed lifts.. I know they wanted to push the dancers, but the boys were not ready for those lifts. Also, if they are going to be professional dancers in a company one day, why didn't they do a dance en pointe? Maybe at a future competition?

While I wasn't amazed by the performance, I think the biggest problem was the amount of editing cuts during the dance. Yes, I want to hear comments from the guys about what they think about the lift or the spacing, but we haven't even seen the full dance in any of the last seven episodes! Couldn't we have just heard they're comments after and then flashed back to the part they're referring to? Just, in my opinion, cutting that much of the dance, even if I know it's because of the time limit, seriously limits the dancers' performance. And I'm not saying their performance was amazing, just that we didn't really have much to judge it off of as we haven't seen a good, complete version of the dance itself yet. Either way, can't wait until next episode to see what they'll being doing next! Despite my comments, I really do love this show because it's the most realistic depiction of ballet/dance I've seen in a show, obviously because they're not trying to focus solely on drama for views sake.

I've watched Strictly Ballet already and loved it!
To summarise the entire comment section 'Thoroughly unimpressive especially for such a highly regarded ballet school'. Also what is Joffrey doing on dance mom's turf? There are other competitions that specialise in ballet and ballet contemporary pieces rather than this one which is all inclusive however tends to lean towards contemporary, lyrical, jazz etc. Seems odd....

well let's be honest, with their lacking technique, artistry and timing they would not do well at all at a competition such as yagp for example. But yes i agree, they shouldn't enter into this type of mainstream competition only so that they can place higher. Honestly it is just lazy

I'm from Chicago and I've seen the Joffrey Ballet. I found this on their website. "Joffrey Academy of Dance, Official School of The Joffrey Ballet, is the only training program owned, operated or endorsed by The Joffrey Ballet. The Joffrey Ballet is not affiliated with any other dance training or school program, including the Joffrey Ballet School in New York. The Joffrey Academy, located in the Exelon Education Center at Joffrey Tower in Chicago, Illinois is the only school that follows the organizational mission, training syllabi, and artistic vision of The Joffrey Ballet. No other program, including those holding the Joffrey name, is sanctioned by The Joffrey Ballet."

JW46312 That’s really interesting. I remember when I lived in Chicago seeing the dancers and being impressed by them. So beautiful and graceful. You just knew who they were automatically. Like when you go to New York City and you see models you just know who they are
I was expecting so much more.

So glad I didn't let my daughter leave her competitive dance team to join the Joffrey Ballet School when she was invited...why are they taking a ballet school to commercial dance competitions? I don't understand the point of this. You are supposed to be a ballet school, not a competitive dance team. Be a ballet school. Put on a ballet or something.

They still dance ballet, but they're getting supplemented with extra dance like modern and contemporary. Going to competitions and working in Joffrey Elite as well as with these renowned choreographers are just more they can add to their resumes while competing advertises Joffrey's name in the competition world. There's not much harm coming from this. We also saw them take more traditional class next episode, so maybe there will be a neo-classical piece with more ballet elements for the next dance?

The only good thing about Kate is her beautiful posture. Lauren would've been the better lead.
I just have to say: That was one of the worst dances I've seen from Joffrey I'm really disappointed... especially of kate she was so good but that last leap Oh myyyyy 😥 Also Kate is the soloist but she barely kept up with everyone else she was always late but then again nobody was really on time. The choreography itself was pretty boring too and the partnering didn't really shine through. I didn't feel anything it wasn't really emotional at all. this is just my opinion please don't hate 😊

THE DANCE WAS AMAZING!! THIS EPISODE IS AMAZING!! OH MY GOSHH!!
AMAZING!!
Now I can't wait for next week!
Longer episodes please and more content! I also want to see what the instructors and choreographers can do, it's been a lot of talk from them and it's hard to see them be so critical when I haven't seen them perform.
As a dancer, their choreography was very good. Yes they might have been off in some places but they deserve the platinum they got. So no need to beat them down about it they worked very hard for it!!!
I wish we got to see the dance from start to finish
uhhh is it rigged like dance moms because that didn’t deserve first. 😅
It is definitely very "Joffrey." I saw one of their concerts 50 years ago in NY, and the style is reflected here..
Loved It 👌😍
JOFFREY ELITE IS MY DREAM! ❤❤❤
So good
love y OK u guys soo much
SICKLED FOOT!!!!!!!
That dance was sooooo good
We slayed the children 😂
cool video!
Their parents must be so proud!
What little I know of the dance world, a family member in competitive dance, I am puzzled at best, trying to understand how this is THE Joffre Ballet school, a dream for so many. Is this a thing of the past? The performances were mediocre at best. What is the back story for this program? Is it a subprogram that is an addition to THE Joffre Ballet? Is it using the same name? The competitions are incredibly small, almost no competition (not that the other studios do not put forth amazing numbers) I just can not see the spirit of excellence that I had once come to trust, from this legendary acadamy. What am I missing?
I think Kate looked really fierce. Awesome for sure.
So love this! used to belong too!
"We slayed the children" I'm dying😂
There are lots of Junior dancers (ages 10-12) at the Master Ballet Academy, Stars, Larkin, etc... that are more skilled and they train in other styles too. How can these possible be the elites? I'm shocked that they have no experience working with partners.

Good partnering but there is more this team can give. This was their first competition as a team. I’d take this over dance moms any day.
😲👌 Excellent
Oh I'm so proud on you 😍
Lol my favorite part was 5:47😂 Matt is so funny
so beautiful 😍😍
OMG THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SO EMMBARRESING WHEN LAUREN STOOD UP EVEN THO KATIE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET THE TROPHY...!
WOW!!!!! when is the last competition
Coming as an ALDC fan, the choreography is boring. It didn’t tell a story. Katie was very off the whole time. And that last leap was just a mess. Compare this to any dance from the ALDC. And see how creative Abby is.
I’d like to see the other groups... and see how these really compared.
Let go
What happened to "The Royal Crush" seasons? Will it be updated sooner? Just asking 'cause it's my favourite
hey armchair experts out there; lots of very very good dancers in the Joffrey Elite, just take a look on the internet. These dancers will easily graduate to dance companies either ballet or contemporary, broadway, or simply commercial work. When pieces are this cut up, really hard to say how it was, especially if the original music is not included(copyright reasons no doubt)

That dance was horrendous. I used to be a dancer, and I have seen much better!
The stage was so tiny and those little lights distracted from the dancers....definitely not a competition that an “elite” group should be attending, not to mention ballet schools aren’t really supposed to go to competitions :
The lighting was a little to dark. But it was great👌🏼👌🏼

Hmmm?
There wasn't much dancing...but it was fine
SPOILER!! I totally loved it when they announced they were winning the competition!!!!!
Ohh they beat twelve year olds Good job!
wow that was meh, the lift was terrible could have been better in my opinion.
Not the best, could have been better, and I wish it had more thought into the dance. The individual technique was good. The story of the dance with Kate as the leader and ruler of "eating" everybody I wish was better portrayed by the choreo and didn't really connect with the audience. Bad English, sorry
