Crowd Is Shocked As The Ballerina On The Right Moves Awkwardly Onto Stage
By KyleStevens-
When you think of ballet shows and performances, normally you think of ballerinas draped in elegance as they glide around the stage, jumping and twirling without effort. Ballerinas are known for their beautiful, grace and their ability to make their routine seem to be easy and effortless. They always seem to have their moves together and exude a confidence and refinement that is awe-inspiring.
You don’t often associate ballet performances with comedy, but in a recent video, one group of ballerinas is proving that they have what it takes to make a crowd laugh.
In the video below you can witness what happens when one ballerina stirs things up for the rest. It starts out showing five ballerinas in perfect form, standing erect, with arms and legs still and posed. And then, from one side of the stage, a not-so-elegant looking ballerina enters the stage. While she is wearing the same tutu, this particular ballerina walks onto the stage with hunched over shoulders, while donning glasses. Yes, glasses.
As soon as the misfit ballerina walks on the stage and takes her place, the audience at the Vienna State Opera bursts out in laughter, which is not something that you typically see at a ballet performance. But, she surprises us, as she gets in formation with the other ballerinas and executes a flawless performance right along with them, reaching in the air at just the right points and leaping across the floor in movements that are smooth and fluid.
And then, things change a bit when one of the other ballerinas nudges her arm and bumps her out of the formation as if she doesn’t belong. Throughout the rest of the performance the “ballerina with the glasses,” can be seen absentmindedly doing different moves than the others. While the rest of them are in a long line, she is hunched over in a pose on the end and this is when one of the other ballerinas grabs her by the hand and pulls her up so she matches the rest of them.
And then at the end, she struggles to find the right pose and attempts to do an awkward squat with arms raised overhead. Finally, after some indecision, the ballerinas are all where they are supposed to be and they end the performance with their final pose.
Viewers generally enjoyed the video and found the humor…
“This was a really funny ballet! We laughed the whole time. Our favorite part was the end. Great job!”
“Honestly I will watch ballet more if it’s like this.”
And others commented on the fact that even when ballerinas aren’t in sync with one another, they still manage to look beautiful…
“My God! Even “wrong” it’s soooooo beautiful I forgot to laugh ’til I heard others doing it.”
Ballerinas have a reputation for looking perfect at all times, maintaining a subtle smile on their faces and launching into difficult moves with a practiced precision. But this group showed that there is a different side to these types of dancers and they are just like the rest of us.
