Matthew Norman They are great, I love the message, I love how they experiment and they should keep doing it. What worries me, however, is that some of them are not properly trained to stand in ballet shoes which can seriously hurt them on the short and long term. Their arch should be above the box of the shoe, there shouldn't be an angle in the ankle. If their arch is not strong enough to sustain such position, they risk foot fractures, joint damage and in long-term, arthritis. This man you calm his enthusiasm a little bit and give girls proper training first.

It was a good idea, but it looks plain ugly and they aren't even using the pointe shoes correctly. They look like deformed birds the way they are moving in the pointe shoes. Ballet should be graceful, not thrusting your body around in pointe shoes.

For the people who says they aren't trained go check out their other videos......every one of these girls are trained in ballet and know exactly what they can and can't do.....just because it's not the stereotypical "white" ballet doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to do what they love and show their talent......sorry not sorry

Dear girls, I think you are lovely. I teach dance myself and I love how much you love what you're doing. But I can't ignore that you have not been taught to dance in your pointe shoes safely. You may not even be aware how much damage you could be doing by dancing without the proper technique. I'm not at all a ballet snob, I'm not talking about flat turn out or anything like that. What I'm talking about is being aware of how to move in your pointe shoes so that your feet, ankles, knees, hips and back are protected from injury. Please contact your school about hiring additional ballet coaches to give you classes to improve your strength. Your teachers have a responsibility to teach you safely. It's not ok for them not to do that.

I'm not a dancer, even I can see they are not fully on their box. Even their syncronistisity is way off, some are not performing the movements in the same way which is a shame they need to crispen their dances. Otherwise I do read lky like what they are doing the just neex sine refinement and better poses and movements that are more clearly different to traditional ballet

I take barre class for exercise purposes and that is freaking hard for me so I cant imagine actually doing ballet and then on top of that hip hop. This is skills. It is very impressive and I LOVE watching ballet but sadly it is not that popular today so if this is what is going to keep it around then so be it. This was amazing!!!

if only they were on their boxes all the way

As a dancer who has trained in hip hop for 5 years I wouldn't classify that as hip hop. By the looks of it they are doing jazz funk or modern. If they are going to call it "Hip hop" then in respect of the style they should include it's elements.

robertsmithe100 If you knew your history, you would be informed that the inaugurating of Hip Hop was in the nineteen-seventies in South Bronx. The intention, as quoted from Wikipedia, was to break down racial barriers between African-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Whites and other ethnic groups. From there hip hop branched into it's four elements: rapping, DJing, graffiti writing and break dancing. Breaking dancing further branched into rocking, locking and popping. Taking that into consideration, if a dance does not include those elements and basics then it can't be characterised as hip hop. Therefore I point out your ignorant statement is incorrect. Secondly I do not have a melanin deficiency, as that suggest diseases such as albinism or vitiligo. Expanding on this, melanins purpose in the body is only to protect us from UV rays, it's variation in humans does not determine intelligence.

In this modern reality, we are all equal and racism is a sign of ignorance no matter who you are. Lastly, I would like to point out that my research was done through my qualification as a dance teacher certified by SABOD.

If I didn't know anything about ballet I'd probably be impressed by this video. But I happen to know about ballet and I know that these girls haven't been given the opportunity to develop enough strength in their bodies to safely dance on pointe. My last comment was too throwaway and I apologize for the offence I gave to you or anyone else who reads it. But I'm not jealous or 'a stupid fame bitch' - I'm concerned for the welfare of the girls. I'm concerned that such irresponsible teaching methods are being celebrated without question and I'm concerned that other girls will see this video and think that this standard of training is safe. It's just not. It's the kind of training that creates unnecessary injury and harm. The girls deserve better and all the students who are likely to attend the school as a result of footage like this deserve better. The school needs to develop its standard of teaching to protect the needs of the students. Seeing this and posting this doesn't make me the problem.

I think they should keep a nice even mix of ballet moves and hip hop moves and float along the line in the middle and not let one form over-power the other so much. As you can see in the very beginning, they HAVE technique. They're are a lot of racist trolls in the comment sections of hiplet dance saying that it's appropriation. Whites are teaching hip hop everyday and do we say anything? No. And they are making buku dollars off of it and our music and anything else we produce, so leave it alone. I agree they need to keep it classy because it can quickly become just hip hop on pointe. And blacks are graceful when we have a graceful upbringing, so get off of it. It's about systematic and outright oppression that you racists confuse with laziness and cognitive- degeneracy. We blacks are beautiful and have style and grace, we just have to fight for everything we have because we were planted at the bottom by fearful and terrified racists so we become hardened not softened. Get over it, we are great and adapt quickly. With the black enlightenment movement enduring, how will racist America hold us down next?

I love the melting of hip hop and ballet together but it doesn’t mean you can let technique go by the wayside.

I’m African-American and I’m joining back into ballet soon

Beautiful.

If I thought cultural appropriation was a thing, this would be it. But I don’t; I’m happy to see these kids enjoying themselves and getting the exposure. I’m happy to see cultures blending and people being praised for their creativity. Real traditional ballet will always exist and be cherished, but that doesn’t mean this can’t be enjoyed either.

I honestly think hip-hop will go by the wayside with the general population in the same way that disco dancing did. Anyway, Hip-hop done well is wonderful, yet really quite incompatible with the essence of ballet done well. Some of the moves in this dance came from the strip-tease world; such as the hip grinding. So these teens/ young women are really combining three dance genre's ,( if you consider stripping as a dance genre', some would differ). It is dangerous to do these seductive hip moves and hip-hop stomping, in conjunction with being on full pointe. For a ballerina, the center of balance when dancing lies in the pelvis; by throwing the pelvis akilter, stomping on pointe, and so on you are continually comprising the center of balance, thus the ballet parts of the dance cannot be performed beautifully. I am concerned about the damage to the feet, twisted ankles, and other chronic injuries this 'hiplet' dancing has to be causing for these very young dancers. The techniques that ballet dancers use to maintain balance and minimize injury have been compromised in a most serious manner- I would never allow this type of dancing in my home or studio for these aforementioned reasons.

They dont even prepare there pointe shoes properly. You cant see their arches. This guy has an ego so big, so big that he has no room to make sure they are safe.

An OUTLET for young artist trying to DEVELOP a new dance form, so it is not going to be perfect...ballet is still evolving and will continue to do so!!

Y ALL BETTA GO GIRLS!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😋

If this guy is a dance teacher, why is he accepting these girls endangering themselves. They are ALL KNUCKLING, They are all breaking their lines, sickling and going from flat to point without rolling through demi. I feel they all want to please this mans dream of creating "something new". Some of them can't even get over their box. They need a better choreographer because they are all talented, but this guy is going to ruin their dance carer with his selfish endeavor.

As long as you look after yourself and take time ballet does not damage you very much. Sure you get muscle aches and a few blisters but it will not kill you

They must be famous by now

When did they make himplet

This looks dangerous like dang they need strong ankles to do this

5.30mins for the dancing ... but where did miss chin sneak in from 😂😂

I'm trying to like this so much but the two don't mix well at all they look crazy. Classical ballet is more graceful and hiphop is more in your face dance. It's like mixing water and fire IT DOESNT WORK. but I really appreciate the concept of the dance but as I said it does really look pleasant to watch it looks too sloppy.

It's not the dance form that is the issue. It's cool but the problem is that they aren't in sync with eachother so it looks like they're all doing different things. If they sync it, it would be much better.

Killing on the dancers. Do you know the pain involved?
