So many people forget that ballet grew out of the opera. I’m a retired professional ballet dancer and it amazes me how many people in my own former profession forget how the origins of our art form are in the opera house. This ballet was part of an incredible for act opera, called LA GIACONDA. And to this very day all of the most legendary European companies are still attached to their original opera houses, for example La Scala, Paris opera, the Royal ballet , Deutsch opera on du Rhine, Vienna Opera ballet, ect. That’s why this piece is so important because it reminds us of where we came from.

I'll never understand why cameramen / directors / editors or whomever think people watching dance videos want interesting and artsy camera-angles every 10 seconds instead of, y'know, clear uniterrupted shots of the dancers.

If I am not wrong, the dance shows how the day goes. Morning - light violet ballerinas, then Noon - yellow ballerinas, Twilight - purple ballerinas and then Night - ballerina with black dress and Moon - ballet dancer with the white costume! So pretty, really like the choreo and mainly, that they did it (the costumes and all) like a real show!

I like your interpretation. In credits at the end of the full video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6attKqRc9bRhLA.html this clip is from they only say "morning", "day", "night" and soloists, but it's possible they didn't go into full details in credits. What you say makes sense.

You can always start. I started ballet when I was 14, I’m 16 now and it’s very fun. If you stretch everyday and work on the things you’re not that good at, you’ll start seeing a difference in technique. It’s the passion that makes a wonderful dancer, so please start ballet again.

These costumes are so pretty!

A beautiful reconstruction of this ballet in all the senses: technique, artistic interpretation, musicality. Bravo to Nicolai Tsiskaridze and all the teachers of the Vaganova school

'Gorgeous' must be the ideal description, coming from whence it so obviously does!

A GREAT PERFORMANCE BY STUDENTS, EVEN BETTER THAN PROFESSIONAL DANCERS ON STAGE ! THIS VIDEO WAS SUPER MADE, GREAT IN SOUND AND IMAGE QUALITY !

I was privileged enough to go to school here (1989) and absolutely loved the experience. This is such a fine example of incredible training; the discipline and culture is second-to-none and why, year upon year, countless graduates are of such a high standard. On another note, has anyone noticed how the clock above the door shows a different time in consecutive camera shots? 🤔 Congratulations to the editor 😂. This does not change the outstanding quality, only demonstrates the School’s incredible sense of pride in what is released.

I haven't seen any comments applauding these dancers for what is plain to see: THE IMMACULATE SPATIAL AWARENESS. 🔎 Look closely: that is some 30-40 dancers in a small box of a studio, fully extending their legs and arms with dancers just centimeters away on each side. One wrong angle and there is the force of a pointe shoe in a dancer's (now broken) nose! ▶️ Look closely again, how neatly they are arranged, how they keep the spacing. If two dancers are slightly too close, always one of them will correct the spacing. Look for those moments, because it is there that the geometric beauty is being carefully, carefully safeguarded. ⬜ 🌌 🔴

Самое лучшее, что я, когда-либо видела. Легкие балерины, прекрасно и настолько синхронно исполняющие движения танцы, оторваться было невозможно.Такое гармоничное сочетание цвета и дизайна костюмов, что не передать словами. Это надо только видеть

Finally! I’ve always wanted to see this danced for real, not the comedy version that Disney did in 1940. Whoever choreographed this, really did justice to the music. It deserves to be seen on more mixed bills by more companies.

Dance of the Hours (Italian: Danza delle ore) is a short ballet and is the act 3 finale of the opera “La Gioconda”composed by Amilcare Ponchielli. It depicts the hours of the day through solo and ensemble dances. The opera was first performed in 1876 and was revised in 1880.

I loved the music, the girls dancing they all looked beautiful, the surprise guy dancing, adorable, the whole thing was great! 👍😃

This dance is so beautiful, and I think it's amazing that these girls are just students! After I saw this video I asked my ballet teacher if she would teach us this for repertoire, and she said she might actually do it once we are back to in-person school instead of online. I'm so excited!

И так сожалела , что мама с папой не захотели лишать меня детства и разлучаться со мной ... в результате я закончила консерваторию. Вот этот танец исполняли мои ученики в музыкальной школе. До сих пор не покидает ощущение сказочного волшебства и восторга когда слышу эту музыку! А сейчас и увидела в столь замечательном исполнении!!! Браво!

My toes hurt that's an inhuman number of bourées. You do t have to be well known to be a superstar these girls are better than I've ever seen in person. Doing it right!

The costumes are just unreal

Oh goodness, this performance is unbelievably beautiful. I got chills even seeing how delicately lovely their costumes were! This is a magnificent performance, and I can only wonder how it looked on stage 🥰🥰🥰

That was absolutely gorgeous, every single one of them are so very talented, I really enjoyed this!!

Still can’t get over how much that floor rakes. Bonkers. Delightful performance, and such a treat to see so close up and in good lighting. Wish I could have been on the balcony.

Simply divine, wonderful and perfect. Congratulations to all of you. I loved.

Absolutely stunning. I really could watch these all day long

What joy at youthful drive and skills, such beauty and smooth artistic balance and movement.., these young and quite beautiful dancers have the natural urge and drive to improve, succeed, display and enjoy the marvellous balletic art.

Rest of the world: How beautiful, the ballet truly is a divine art form. Americans: HELLO MUDDAH

The first popular main theme starts at 2:04, and the second popular main theme starts at 8:42. The interpretive symbolism of the costumes and choreography from a Vedic (ancient Indian) perspective are profound and cosmic: Father Solar God (the King, or Prince of Creation) in white with the Sun's golden rays, and Mother Lunar Goddess (the Queen, or Princess of Creation) in black with silver sparkles and highlights, surrounded by and interacting with the divine ('Deva') group (yellow costumes highlighted with gold) and the non-deva (Asura) group (purple tutu with red and blue blouse (the tutu's purple is composed of the blue and red of the blouse). The Deva group and the Asura group interact in what is known in Vedic tradition as the "Churning of the Ocean" (Samudra Manthan), and on a deeper more cosmic level, as the Rik motion (circular, or more precisely, spiraling) of the Rik (Rig) Veda), and the variations and permutations of this circling/spiraling. The red of the Asura blouses is a Deva color, and the blue of the blouses is an Asura color. Therefore, the Asura group is partly Deva (because of the half red of their blouses), showing the predominance of divine over non-divine energy in creation. The King and Queen (or Prince and Princess) of Creation and their Deva and Asura groups mutually support and glorify each other. Congratulations and Thanks to the deep attunement with Natural Law, Cosmic Law, that envisioned and created these costumes and choreography, and to the composer, whose music inspired it.

So fascinating so young so beautiful love this movement dance and art all in unison like the celestial dance of the stars glittering in all its glory God is certainly in the dance and the music one with perfect love ❤️

Glorious. That’s one big studio to accommodate so many dancers all at once.

Bravo 👏 beautiful ❤️ performance these students are very good indeed the choreography is fantastic! 🙏 Thanks posting it KZread!

Bravissimo! Captivating, near flawless synchronicity, a visual and artistic feast on all levels. I was carried away to the doge's palace where the masked ball was underway, Laura having already been ordered to poison herself for her infidelity with Enzo, the prince in disguise. Her evil husband orders the special ballet begin, foreshadowing Alvise's intentions. (Ed. Yes, I'm referring to the opera production featuring Placido Domingo, Eva Marton and Kurt Rydl, innovatively choreographed by Gerlinde Dill.) Of course, it took me back to Fantasia as well. (I hope some extra credits were dispensed.) Encore!

Beautiful...so exquisitely danced...such delicate lightness in their steps...took years of training! 👏BRAVO!

I wish I hadn't stopped ballet. There is no better exercise than a ballet bar.
