All the young people do that. It doesn’t even bother me anymore.

i clicked the video thinking they were just about the comedy and drag but they are actually amazing dancers! and flipping over the classical ballet stereotypes of only women being allowed to wear pointe shoes is really inspiring

Me either.

I was luck to see them. Saw them when they preformed at my university a few years ago. I was still a student so I got a discount and got to sit close to the stage. Loved the show! Admire the strength and artistry of the show and of course the parody/comedy. As a former ballet dancer(non-pro) I laughed at the parts especially where they did things you as a dancer want to do but know your not suppose to do. For instance looking in a different direction then your suppose to, slouching, making a face due to a mistake,slipping/falling, "boredom", making a struggling face when lifting their parter, losing a prop, break character and so on. I defiantly recommend the show to all.

xie is so adorabke I admire his happy, kind attitude

The Japanese have been doing it for years with their Kabuki performance. Where men, dress up as woman for their performances. So if Kabuki can do it, Ballet can do it.

I think most part of the world have the culture of guys playing female roles... That's weird. But I am Cantonese, Cantonese Opera have this tradition for a long long time. There is currently one male actor playing female roles in Hong Kong I think... (he plays the "dan" characters, which are young ladys)

The chinese also did it for hundreds if not thousands of years as well in traditional opera. It was not uncommon for both men and women to genderswap roles :)

here because of Brooke Lynn Hytes

Alberto Pretto is so unbelievably stunning! His technique & line is far better than mine (a female ballet dancer) Plus and he has KILLER legs! I have so much love & tremendous respect for him! #albypretty #loveyou #goals

Saw them last night! WOW! I was blown away at the talented dancing, the great music, the comedy, the mime -- a total delight!

I finally got to see the Trocks in 2018. Just spectacular, well done all around. Ballet is constantly seen as "frilly" & "dainty" when the truth is that ballerinas have to abuse their feet every bit as much as a football player does with their bodies in a high-stakes super bowl. It's a good bet their toes feel as if a tractor rolled over them much of the time.

I saw these guys the last time they were in Australia - hint hint, guys, please come back!!! - and they were beyond amazing. Although, I'm never EVER going to be able to watch the actual ballet of Giselle, because I'm fairly sure that you're not supposed to be laughing so hard during Act II that you can hardly breathe. I'm just almost certain of that. And just remembering that scene had me snickering away loud enough that I just got a wierd look from my housemate... I'm going to try and find a video of it and show him I'm not crazy. I'm mean, well, I am, but not like that...

It would be cool if one day they could include female dancers in drag as well.

Saw these guys in Orono, Maine of all places. They were ASTOUNDING! Beautiful dancing, gorgeous costumes, and funny without being too slapstick. So much talent! It was so fun to see all these plaid shirted bearded old men standing up and screaming, and clapping and laughing. Fabulous night!

Indonesia also has traditional dance where men dress and dance as women. The history was during colonialism, men did it to protect young women from doing it, which usually ended with rape and abuse to women by the soldiers. And so it became a tradition and continues until now.

Men can be who they want to be, this is just beautiful ♥️ Edit: This is funny because I can’t even stand on my tippy toes that long, even if I put on ballet shoes on 😂

What a delightful video great job insider

My sister and I just saw the Trocks in Tacoma, WA and, while I'd seen a few videos before, I was still just blown away by the performance! Loved them!

These guys are amazing! Ballet is a beautiful art in all its forms.

They have passion.......

Most of their arch and extension are amazing

What a moving story♡ thank you for sharing

Im always here for more like a million times,they are my motivation on training ballet

I had no idea that men didn't do en pointe. Watching this made me see it a whole different way. Beautiful. Love the comedy too!

wow, i'm amazed! i did ballet when i was younger and they're great!

They are the best !!! Thank you!

Insider ur team be the best...lv u insider

Beautiful!

the troc comedy routines are one thing but the fact is that males en pointe can do some truly gorgeous dancing...and no i am not taking away in ANY measure from the Troc dancers who are very talented. Id just love to see some more male dancing en pointe when it isnt being done "for the laugh" I know there are dancers who do this, and id just love to see more of it, because it is beautiful and if choreographed for males, men en pointe doesnt have to be a pastiche of women, because theyre not....its different but nonetheless beautiful. Anyway, the Trocs are still great dancers

Ballet schools are surprisingly heteronormative - when I studied dance back in the 80's, out ballet school invited a judo master once a week to train us boys - make us more butch! I'm afraid I was too gay for ballet: "I had to do WHAT with a woman??!" 😋

Why don't we see this on TV?!?! I would love to see their version of The Nutcracker during the Christmas season!!!! No pun intended.

Am I the only one who think I'd enjoy their performance more if they didn't try to exaggerate and do comedy? They dance beautifully and I just want to see them dance without trying to be funny

Being en pointe is so hard. They are on the knuckles of their toes. This is amazing. They’re great!

@KeenKoala115

No, the toes are not bent when inside. Ideally the knuckles build calluses to prevent from rubbing but the toes are straight inside. This is achieved through having a tight box surrounding your foot that’s the support system. You’d break your toes the other way around.

I love it.

Traditionally, Beijing Opera in China was done by all males as men and women weren't permitted to stand onstage together. Some of the major stars such as Mei Lanfang were revered back in the day. Even today in China, men dressing as women for performances is still an art that's practiced (it's now called "反串/fanchuan") with stars like Li Yugang who are very well-known.

I saw them and I do recommend, very fun

I can't decide whether the Trocks find it easier to get big-size toe shoes their size, since men's feet are bigger,so females don't need them, or harder to find because the need wouldn't be anticipated by a manufacturer as much. I'd guess since they're professional dancers, they've got lasts at the manufacturer, made for each individual dancer's specifications, like any other dancer.

Next show in Melbourne Australia please?

They are so strong. Their feet are different than women. Just not as flexible through the ankle except a couple have female type flexible ankles. But it doesn't matter because they are so strong. Their feet are flexible just not as much the ankle. I love these guys.

J’adore genialna ideja Bravo 👍🙏🙏🙏

0:49 well acted

😍🌟

We saw them in the 70s and every chance we get ! Every other year in NYC ! Let's hear it for the Dying Swan !

I’m not certain, but I think they came to Texas A&M in 1975 or 76 when I was there.

Their cheekbones tho!

I clicked with the though that I was getting some type of dramatical (female) ballet. Had no idea there's ballet for men only. Looks interesting, ngl.

Before hearing about this company, I didn’t think about men en pointe (professionally that is)

Who are these beautiful ladies

They are funny

He looked a bit like Alaska

The Chinese dancer complains that his feet couldn't cram into toe shoes until he found a softer pair, that it was painful and he inferred female dancers don't suffer as much.. He inferred women don't have the same pain. He just isn't used to it the way the women are, and should know better. Ballerinas go through agony, too. Bleeding, blisters, callouses, scarring, deformities, surgeries. A ballerina's feet are deformed and ugly, scarred, wounded. She uses various materials to help protect them but it just hurts. Plus, ballerinas traditionally are expected to look skinny, even anorexic, and he isn't... the Balanchine company emphasized unnaturally sylph-like bodies, and his ballerinas even became anorexic and addicted to drugs to achIeve it. Both male and female dancers work through the pain of ballet, and at a certain point in the dance, the pain is pushed away, dissociated from them as chemicals are released. At least when this Trock dancer does parodies, he doesn't have to be as unnaturally graceful as a classical female ballerina! Ballet isn't natural. It's not natural to land on your big toe and try to escape gravity while being graceful at the same time. All professionals suffer for their art. And as an aside, I've observed that many shoes made in China tend to be too narrow, even for Amerifsn women. I'm under the impression as a consumer that their feet are narrower, and they model their cheaper shoes on their own feet, and they don't fit me. So I respectfully disagree with this Trocker. He's just not used to submitting to the pain of fashion, the way women have traditionally done both in China and America. Welcome to our world! I'm glad you're a Trocker! Stay well and safe, young man! You're beautiful!

@Lolibeth

Жыл бұрын

That is not what he said at all. He said that he thinks that female dancers don't have the same problem because their feet are narrower on average. They don't make pointe shoes specifically for me so they're using women's sizes which are narrower, in general, than men's shoes.

How many times is haojun gonna say like

It takes grit guts and bein gay👌👌

So kabuki

Honestly some of them could improve their technique like your can't stomp en pointe you have to make it look effortless also major sickling with many of them. Interesting video though.

Ballet has really changed since I was in it, so now it's Shakespearean, we've reverted to the old ways? It was once so elegant and beautiful but now it's a joke, you are not a woman! Stop trying to be what you are NOT and live in reality.
