I love how she calls them "mes enfants". There must a really great relationship between teachers and students.

The studio is freaking adorable.

The narrator is saying that Danish ballet master Bournonville learned everything from the early French school of ballet, while French dancers were influenced by the virtuosic Italian school developed towards the end of the 19th century. She adds that French style nowadays is characterized by its elegance and very brilliant, precise technique. She finished saying that at the end of every class they bow as a way of showing respect towards the audience and their own profession.

LIL RONNY G this is the result of a very strict selection at the entrance, based on very precise physical criteria

Miteki Kudo's hand movement in this video is so mesmerising.

I should say that was something more than beautiful! How they move their arms and legs! Wonderful!!!!

This was my favorite tv documentary series growing up - I watched it so many times I wore out my vhs tapes. The series was the first time I saw Sylvie Guillem - Makarova introduced her as a new nineteen year old star on the show.

Et voila ca c'est Mme Christiane Vaussard qui été la meilleur professeur du monde. Elle a été tout des super excersises. Et je panse que l'école de danse de l'opéra national de paris est la meilleure école aussi. Ils savent comment devoir danser et ca c'est tres important aujourd'hui. Bravo!!!

Wonderful! And she seems like a great teacher with fabulous, positive energy. Beautiful all round.

This looks like a dream to be in that dance class💕

Strangest thing... I watched this and suddenly tears were running down my face...

On voudrait savoir, cette vidéo etant ancienne, que sont devenues ces élèves très douées, puis cette fabuleuse professeure❤❤❤. Bravo Madame!

video on the Paris Opera Ballet. instructor speaking in French. narrator speaking in German. love it! hahaa back to the dancing..i wish i had been put into dance when i was younger. at almost 20, i think i'm a little late.

I love how delicate and relaxed their arms are when they dance -- so elegant! This style kind of resembles the vagnova style but maybe I'm wrong about this? Sometimes I just can't quite distinguish the difference. It looks like they move a little faster than the Russians... not sure though

Love it as well, but it is quite different than what I am used to. I think the French school focusses a lot on musicality, more than Vaganova does. And it's quick, like Balanchine, and had the flow in the arms and upper body like Vaganova. I really like comparing styles, although every teacher brings something different, so you can't always put your finger on it.

Yes I think the French are lighter on their feet and maybe more eloquent. But the Russian have their strengths too. They are strong and exact and their training. Some of those girls with their vaganova training have extensions and strength that are hard to believe.

Quelle extraordinaire prof de Danse. Beaucoup de bienveillance malgré la difficulté de cet art .❤🎉

They all have such lovely turn out.

they're so elegant!

The studio is beautiful.

Ottima l'idea di presentare il grande lavoro che sottende a quella mirabile impressione di leggerezza che poi apprezziamo nei balletti. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

*It’s hard seeing people live out their dreams*

Wonderful! How they are learning tempo and musicality. Great teacher.

I just understand "un, deux, trois"...

I feel untalented by watching them :(

I think at 01:24 the girl is Miteki Kudo now in the POB (sujet)

-Onegin, polonaise. Tchaikovsky. -ballet music class. -Le Corsarie, coda from pas de deux.

Ugh everything is so quick that you can't enjoy their amazingness

this is just beautiful. so beautiful!

isn't it so crazy that we use the same music as them

ok the girl u see right in front of the camera from 1:04 until 1:44 is really good, i mean they all are, but i couldn't take my eyes off of her.she is so talented!

wow theyre all so perfect!! i wish i could look as good as they do

Who's watching this at quarantine?😂

wonderful teacher a lot of passion!!

I am so proud to be french on that moment !

wow they dance so beautifully!

BEAUTIFUL!

what a beautiful studio....

one of the girls looks like miteki kudo i think it may be!

Super reportage sur la danse ! Extraordinaire 👍

Maaan...I'm retiring That was beautiful! :') They are great ballerinas! I hope I can become as good as they are someday!

Think about it a different way... I have friends who are naturally tiny although they eat very well and are very healthy. They are naturally very thin and they don't control that... They do eat hamburgers, and chocolate and treat themselves often, but they still maintain a slender frame.

I absolute her authority!!! That is the way to teach. Not sweet or politically correct or nice. Strong and resolute!

WHO NOTICED THAT WAS MITEKI KUDO

Le cours a lieu dans la Rotonde de l'Opéra de Paris. Il n'y a pas de miroir. Cela permet de mettre les élèves en situation de spectacle.

@TheBallerina2000 Traditionally Repetto is worn as they supply for the Paris Opera Ballet's prima ballerinas, but other makers are being used more now (perhaps in part due to more internationally travelling dancers). However since this is an older video they are all probably supplied by Repetto xx

I was in Ballet one year 8 years old I hope return again.

Beautiful

Haha people are saying they are too thin because they are use to seeing overweight people like americans. But these girls are perfect! Nothing wrong with not being fat. Oh and yeah I agree...I'd rather see a thin dancer than a fat or muscular one.

Here style of ballet is very different but just as good😊

this is so intimidating!

je les regarde avec bcp d'admiration et j'espere un jour etre aussi douée.. :)

ohmygod. this makes my dancing look like an elephant trying to do water arobics.. :/

C'est in si beau ballet avec des ballerines tres elegants!

Je toujours amié ballet.

I saw miteki kudo

I saw the Paris Opera Ballet perform Giselle at the Kennedy Center this summer. It was the first time they performed there in 10 years and Giselle and the prince were in their 40s!

They must retire when they are 42.

fantastic!

oh they are so beautiful.

beautiful...

J'adore le ballet à Paris

@OtakunoOdoriko exactly. Plus, they genetically have that kind of body. They're chosen with thin complexion so they are naturally like that, so they don't have to starve or something.

very beautirful dance 😍😍😍

Cette technique montre beaucoup de travail avant, continuez ainsi !

Hermoso....

I love the dance they're doing; does anyone know what its from?

vraiment que de souvenirs il ne faux ps oubliez que c'est un travaille trés dificille la dense classique

Bellissimo!!!

merci c'est vrai que tu as raison c'est pourquoi je fait de la danse depuis 6ans maintenant mais pour m'entrainer chez moi j'aime bien recopier sur les exercice d'internet

I hope return again.

So beutiful T_T I will never become that good, i don't even go to ballet cuz there are no ballet schools near!! I really want to dance!!

two words: beautiful and crazy! XD

I like the idea of a circular studio for menage XD

the classes are so small--i like that :D

one of them looks like miteki kudo

Is this documentary available on DVD somewhere?

omg we use the same music and do the same part of class to the music!

@DictatorIceCreamCone They are doing many tombes, pas de bourees, echappes, ballotes, pirouettes, releves, passes, and many, many, many others. The jumps that they do across the floor are called several different things depending on the syllabus, but two common names are saut de chat and grand pas de chat. The turns they do around in a circle are called pique turns en dedan. As to the difficulty of the steps, they are more or less advanced steps, though intermediate students would perform them

The first piece that the pianist is playing is a Polonaise from the opera Onegin by Tchaikovsky. And when the girls do their jetes, that is from Don Quixote.

@Malon4Ever : Elles sont en 1ère division, donc jusqu'à 18 ans. C'était l'année 1985-1986 si je ne me trompe pas.

I hope they know how lucky they are for taking ballet classes there!

Excuse me, does anyone know any of the moves used in this video, especially when they're doing that bit across the floor? Also, the difficulty of the moves would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

@MsOMyGosh Actually, you can play music without talent. I have played many instruments without talent - just a lot of hard work - and have known others the same way. I still got many compliments on my playing. Like I said, lol, hard work can get you wherever you want to go, it just takes more work obviously. :)

I recognize the music from my class!

Wow.

Do I see young Miteki Kudo? I think she is one of the girls in this video

what a dream

Where can i find those ballet skirt?

c'est magniphique moi je reve d'entrerr a l'ecole de danse de l'opera de paris avez-vous des exercice pour les fille de 12 ans s'il vous plait ? MERCI

Honestly this teacher seems a lot nicer than my American ballet teachers I had. But I could be wrong

MaaGNiiFiiQUee !!!
