Matt buddy ..... the whole point of an alternate is to be able to do the dance if a dancer can't dance. You have to KNOW and learn just as much as a dancer with the position.

Aww poor Fernando!! He works so hard!!

But in that last competition, Fernando had the same job as he did, and he learned everything... so you can't complain that it can't be done. There's no excuse.

He just doesn’t have what it takes. He’s not completely in it and far too distracted. Discipline!

I can't stand Matt irresponsable actitude!!! He is getting on my nerves.

Yikes!! Do they take technique classes?????????? Understudies MUST learn all their parts I am baffled by the lack of commitment from matt.

Ikr??!!!He's been this way from jump. Sad because another didn't get picked for the team and he's just pissing it away. Totally unacceptable

Why is Matias there? Surely to god they could find someone who would value being in Joffrey Elite? He looks like he was just shown the piece that morning.

He's complaining, I'm only 12 and I'm the understudy for all of the dwarfs in our ballet and it's not that hard to memorize all the moves and placement as long as you're at least marking it in the back and paying attention.

depends on the dance also, sometimes the steps and counting is quite different between different parts

Honestly! It irritates me that he's not paying more attention! As an understudy/alternate, you need to learn everything and you should always be on the ball because you never know what could happen. You can't just pout in the corner about being the alternate and be on your phone -- don't you want to get back into the dance, don't you want to prove that you deserve your spot back?! Agh, I really hope Fernando healed up and can dance for the show because I just...Matt doesn't deserve it, imo.

Niamh was so gorgeous in the pas de deux omg 😭😍❤️

Loved the episode---so much dancing. The drama over the ballet piece was a bit much---but I really loved seeing the contemporary piece with Harrison, Niamh and Maddie. They were awesome. Good luck at the competition!!

Wow. I'm surprised at their pointe work: I swear it was better in past episodes, but this could just be a rough day with the competition so near. Even so, I'm surprised some of the people in Joffrey Elite even made it into the group with that level of technique.... Also, Matt, I don't feel much sympathy for you as the alternate. Even when I was dancing in the corps, my friends and I -- also in the corps -- learned all of the other roles because you literally never know when something happens and you're needed for a solo or even the main role. Just... LEARN ALL THE PARTS. DON'T BE ON YOUR PHONE. YOU'RE IN JOFFREY ELITE FOR A REASON NOW SHOW WHY YOU'RE THERE. AGH. Anyway, hopefully things look better for the performance.

If I want to watch classical ballet on pointe I'll watch "Strictly Ballet"---contemporary is what the Joffrey Elite does best. They should stick to their strengths!! Love the dancers and seeing the Still I Cry piece.

I LOOOOVVVVEEEE Niamh!!!! So glad they are showing more of her😃💕💜

Omg I love this they are so beautiful and Niamh in the pas de deux!!!!

I dont undersrand hiw Fernando was ever an alternate to begin with. He is probably the best guy

"I definitely could have learned it better... but like... I don't actually care at all... so like.. "

ballet is beautiful and looks effortless to the audience but seems brutal and unforgiving to the dancers. I commend their dedication and commitment.

It's rough waiting for an episode to come out each week... Mat, pull your act together please. It's your responsibility to know the pieces well enough to step in when someone needs to step out. Fernando, heal quickly. I'm begging you.

The technique OMG I can't my eyes...

rose Proust joffrey has two types if programs, contemporary jazz and ballet. I'm sure Anna is from ballet. She said she's not very good at contemporary. I think some of these dancers are from the non ballet program like Madison and Niamh. Only a idiot would make them go on point and put them in a point routine. Why not show Anna doing ballet and Madison doing contemporary? They can all dance amazing but in there own styles.

Noooooo Fernando!! Omg he worked so hard and deserved this spot. He's got to get back on those toes!

why is he on his phone in class? he fucked up once, that's why he's just an alternative, it looks like he's not motivated to dance anymore..

I want to see the whole contemporary routine!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡

I don't understand why Joffrey elite is competing? It's a ballet school, they perform, not compete.

@thoughtsofaleo2916

I think it's to get their name out there and expand their reach as a school? Like, it shows that there's more than just strict classical training at Joffrey, you also have the opportunity to compete and meet these renowned choreographers.

@effiechenet

competition is also a valid form of performance and many good dancers have emerged from a competitive background. Joffrey also has students who study contemporary and jazz seriously . Some of the best dancing in America is not strictly ballet.

this is exactly how I thought it was going to be 😂 the last few days they'll be all stressed and there are going to be downs, but magically everything will turn out how its supposed to be. 😂 kinda predictable. i might be wrong tho 🙄

so earllyyyyyyy

omg everyone's soooo cute

Cute all the way cuteeee😍😍😍😍

Oh god. I can't.

Please explain to me why these dancers are the elite? They don't hold a candle to the dancers that come out of the Vaganova Ballet Academy. They just seem to lack technique.

when I was thirteen, I understudied a piece with twelve distinct parts. it can be done, but it does require a lot of discipline and practice. clearly matias cannot handle that, unfortunately.

I do ballet

When is season 2?

Don't know why they chose Matias?

why is matt even on joffrey elite??

já diz que deixei esse comentário faz uns da minha idade...faz favor thau bom dia youtube.

Last episode people were crying for Matt saying he must be depressed... that’s not what he meant when he said he couldn’t get out of bed... he meant physically lol he was the weakest one and his body couldn’t take it. But not knowing the dance and his whole attitude is really frustrating to see... I’m so bummed for Fernando... that kid friggin deserves it. And if Matt can’t get it together then they need to bring in another alt... that ain’t right

Okay but Anna and Fernando?!

OOOHHH "pas de deux!" Daaamn I kept hearing paddudduh sksksk XD

okay but matt says "oh it's just really hard" it's hard for everyone buddy you should have been paying attention

Matt makes me sick, these guys in charge , picked some of the wrong people, and Matt is one!

they must have been having an off day because yeesh...

I’m sorry but if anyone notice he said “ there will be teams from all over the tristate area” PHINEAS AND FERB WAS MY LIFE... sorry for that. Continue on with the comments

I don't like Mat but at the same time he's literally me

Harrison: he is alittle mad Me: alittle...he should have been furious Harrison ur foot sickled and fernado over there marking when he should be going full out

excuses matt gives is weak he missed loads of time but gets stay even though they said one warning then your out he had 4 and still there why i never got fernando he always learnt every dance part no matter he is a great dancer and partner

matias needs to go

😜😝😝😝😜😝😜😝😜😜✨

Ariel has a wider torso then the other girls and also she looks a lot older, is she in her 40’s or something

People are really bashing Mat, but based on what he described a few videos ago, it really sounds like he’s suffering from depression

Mathias annoys me because it’s seems like he doesn’t care

Hello

g

Meredith Bayliss would be completely disappointed....

sorry to say this but 12 episodes in and I am not impressed. They are just technically not very good dancers, any of them... they don't have the basics down. unpointed feet, unsickled feet, floppy, unplaced arms, legs not straightened, overall not enough strength. What's up with this? I thought the Joffrey was better than this.

Matias is a HOT MESS, he doesn’t look like he even should be learning at Joffrey Ballet!

What a hypocrite. How can you tell someone to get off their phone but here you are on your phone🙄...and I don’t want to hear “cause I’m the instructor” excuse

It’s beyond me how Mat is making excuses. It’s clear this isn’t his time and he’s not serious about extending his career. When you’re serious about a dream, their are no excuses. Fernando did it. Mat just stole an opportunity for someone who was truly serious about dancing..

Dude this is your job. I am sorry it's hard but it is only going to get harder. Stop whining and work. Work or leave your call.

Harrison should never dance again and work on his music and acting. maybe this can be a spring board for him because ballet and him are not a match. however, he can partner.
