The Try Guys Try Ballet

(piano music) - That was the best thing we ever did. Ballet baby! - We are here at the Los Angeles Ballet to finally do what you have been asking for for years. - There's a reason we haven't. This is impossible. - My sister is a dancer. She danced since she was four years old, so I learned her from practice to understand a little bit of the lingo. - I went to a theater and dance school. I am the only TryGuy with a dance diploma. College-educated son of a bitch! I didn't take dance classes; I have a stupid old Benjamin Button type baby body.

I am the most fragile and inflexible man who has ever lived. - I'm not trained in

ballet

at all. I'm really only pretty good at hip hop, so I'm going to approach this as fresh as the rest. - We are going to be elegant, we are going to be balanced and we are going to fall on our asses. (laughs) - It's your fault. You wanted this. You requested this video. When I'm in pain it's your fault, Leslie. (TryGuy theme music) - So my name is Bianca Bulle. I am a principal dancer with the Los Angeles Ballet. - Does that mean you're one of the best? - I'm actually the only main dancer. - That means you're the best! - So you are the best! - You will learn some

ballet

routines and finally be able to perform them on stage. - Then we will train with experienced professionals. - Youths. (laughs) We have first position.

Our heels touch and our knees are pressed together. Your butt is tight too. You are lifting and your toes are spread as far as possible without being behind you. - Owww! - Good! Second position you rotate until your arm reaches to the side. You're a few meters away... - What? - That's how it is. The third position is half-- - Yahhhh! (laughs) Let's do it from above! -How could you do that Keith? - I don't know how I could do it, I just can. - Wow! That is amazing! - Thank you, I'm the best! -How long have you both been dancing?

Seven years? - Were you born into ballet? - I thought they were seven years old. - That's 70% of your life you've been practicing. - Normally we start young simply because it is something very complex to learn and form the joints. - Apology? - Side. Your faith. Side... As you grow you want your joints to be open and your feet to be flexible because... - So you're like beautiful dancing mutants. - I was going to say mutants! - I can not sit down? A ten year old boy just yelled at me for sitting down. You are not allowed to sit in ballet because it is not appropriate.

I hate everything about this. They are lovely children. - That's the cool part. - That's the cool part. - This part is great too. I don't know about this part. In fact, those two are doing very well. It's just those two. - We did a little barbell warm-up to get ready for the center and we're going to do a couple of exercises on the floor. So you go out, get irritated, and start again. Pique. And start again. Pique. And start again. - How do you not get very dizzy? - Use your place. Then we located our head. - Okay, I didn't do that. - Oh! (laughs) - Is it a good idea, at 30 years old, as a man, to start trying to open your joints? - (laughs) No. - Great, let's do it. - Wait, that's just the warm-up. - That's just the warm-up - Bianca!! - Ahhh! - Ahhh! - Fast question.

Do you sleep in a giant music box? - I don't. - Now you are wearing pointe shoes. - Oh Lord! - That! - That! - So you crack your toes and feel like you have knuckles on your feet? - No, actually you're dead on tiptoe. -How come your toenails don't fall off? - They do. (choking) - Do professionals get hurt? - Yes, professionals get hurt all the time. - Oh! I have cramps in my toe. Gyaaa! - Ned, what are you doing? - It hurts on the bottom, but we're trying to make everything look beautiful on top. -How much fried chicken do you say you eat in a week? (laughs) - I hate fried chicken. (needle squeaking on album) Sorry! - Can you demonstrate some classic pointe moves for us? - So this is a sus-sous.

And then we can move on. (oohhhh!) And we can do a little arabesque. (wowwww!!) And a soutenu. - Why is everything in French? - History. - It is effortlessly elegant. - Well,

guys

, you can try if you want. (ballet music) - Yes, I can't get in. - Come in, baby! - Ned, you did it! - I have it inside! - You have a tiny foot. - I have dancer's feet. - I do not want to do this. - I know I don't think we can. - I don't think I can either. - Oh boy! - Now try to straighten your knee. - What are you talking about? - I know but that's why I'm whispering.

I do not want to do this. - (oohhhhhh!!) (yeshhh!!) - I'm going to get hurt. Are we going to get hurt? - I hope not. - Ohhh God!! - I feel like my ankle is about to break. - Ahhh!! - Oh, that's so painful! - Owww! - Owww!! - No!! - Wow, calf cramp. Calf cramp. Stretch it. Stretch it. - Well, this was just horrible. Thanks for sharing. - Let's get to the routine, okay? - Now we are going to do a condensed version of Waltz of the Flowers. Great, then we're on our knees. There are four waltzes...

Pom pom pom, pom pom pom. My day begins with rehearsals for the ballets we present. So it could be two or three or just one if it's a complete piece. - This feels like we're doing a lame Jesus right now. - You will stay still for that. We rehearse that until four thirty in the afternoon and we go home and recover, we drink ice, we eat and we do it again the next day. Tan leu. Sus-sous. Turn around. - Wait ice? - Ice our bodies. We suffer a lot of injuries or... - What is your budget for ice? - (laughs) Do you like it a lot? - Three, four, piqué. - (sneeze) (laughs) I told you so.

I told you it's coming. - Five. Six. Seven. Eight. - Is it fair to say that if you keep a good face and move your hands, people won't pay attention to your feet? - Could be. - In fact, we are trying very hard. It seems that we are parodying the movements. Because we stink! (dramatic music) - That was it! - Cry, wow! - Exactly. - Cry, waap! - Oohhhh, I only danced hip-hop. I won't be good at this. (laughs) - This is completely exhausting me. I've finished. I'm already devastated. - How about we put some tutus on you to make you feel like a dancer feels in our rehearsals?

Then you feel that it is something real. (harp music) - Wow! - Wow! - Wow! - Yeshhhhh!! - Does that mean we're at the Los Angeles Ballet? Thank you very much for making us participate. That is incredible. - Congratulations. - This will mask all my bad foot movements. - Now I totally understand the appeal of tutus, because all I want to do is try the routine again, with this, in motion. Yes, with the tutus. - Put it all together. - (murmurs) (Waltz of the Flowers) Soutenu. (mumbles) (mumbles) sus-sous. (mumbles) (mumbles) Nice and soft. - It's like you do all these complicated moves and then you have to look stylish too. (music swells) - (mumbles) - It's all about which leg does what and then you try to keep your arms and torso from looking silly.

It is very little and yet it is a lot. Yeah!! (music ends) - My glasses broke and completely broke. I danced too hard and my glasses broke. - We are going to learn Russian Dance, which is a male dance full of tricks, fun and exciting things. Big jumps. - Oh! He almost kicked me in the balls. - And many turns, flying along the ground. - Things that are going to be too difficult. - It will be difficult. It will be very different from the Waltz of the Flowers. It is much sharper in movement. You don't have to flow smoothly, it's almost better to look like you're really putting effort into it.

You're going to touch the toes of both feet in the air so you go, jump and (murmurs). It's a personal journey and you're constantly trying to be perfect. - Like Black Swan. - Noooo, no, it's not. -Aren't I going to turn into a beautiful bird-person at the end of this? - Is that what happens at the end of Black Swan? - Yes, she becomes one, didn't you see the movie? - Something much darker happens at the end of Black Swan... - It's a crazy movie, brother. - It's crazy. (Russian dance) - Jump. And one, two, three, four, jump.

Try to straighten those legs. - This is easily the most difficult dance we have ever done. I'm more tired than ever. I thought I was fit but I'm not. - Five. Six. This is pure exhaustion of every joint. - This is hard work. - I think this might be the first time in a TryGuys video where people say, "That really sucked!" - Aww Eugene hit me in the balls! - Bianca, what are your last tips for us? - Just give it your all. You tried very well. - Alright

guys

, let's go to the stage. Elegant wipe. (wewwwwww!) How elegant! - That really wasn't elegant... - You cleaned it up, right? - Here we are, a couple of weeks after our rehearsal with Bianca and the LA Ballet.

I can guarantee that there is no way we can fake this. You will see every failure. Ned basically has very little rhythm. -Hopefully everyone is basically distracted by my mischievous good looks and fierce girth. - Zach has physical disorders that prevent him from moving properly. - I feel like I'm going to disgrace the art form. - And Keith is a clumsy, gangly giant. - I think Russian dance is too difficult. But you know our current relationship with Russia is not that good, so I think it's okay. I don't really want to pay my respects to Russia.

I prefer not to do it well. - Very well comrades, let's go back and make NutCracker, okay? - Oh yeah. - Oh yeah. - Break nuts into three. One! Two! Three! - Crack some nuts! (Russian dance) - Almost! (laughs) - That was very, very difficult. - Yes, men's dancing is so athletic! It's like we have to jump a lot. - Could we put on those tutus? - [Makeup Person} How are you feeling? - I hate eye things. - You look like a librarian housewife from the 50s. - You look like a bitch. Grumpy!! Yes, she looks like a bitch! -She looks like a bitch with makeup. - Yeah! - I look like the evil popular girl from (mumbles). - Yeah!

We hate you! - I'm deaf in one ear. -She is also deaf in one ear. - Oh my god! You are very cute! - Hey! - They talk about the discipline of ballet. They never talk about fun. - Have fun, damn! (Yes! Fun!) (Flower Waltz) - Yes!! - Yeah! - Yeah! - Wow! Woohoo! (mumbles!) - I consider myself someone who knows how to dance, but ballet is in another stratosphere. Send a lot of respect to all the dancers out there. Because you all are much tougher than any other expert we have come across. - You have to grow with your legs facing here.

You have to be a spider human and then be stylish with your spider body. -The first thing I want to do is call my sister right now because she understands what she had to go through. - My legs hurt. I tried to go up the stairs earlier and screamed. - The dancers are superhuman. They make it look so elegant. And they are masking the pain. If you ever meet a dancer, start bowing to her. - [Eugene} I'm actually very proud of the other TryGuys because, as bad as dancers they may be... - They gave it their all. - Although no one can do ballet unless you are a professional, at least you can appreciate it. - See you next time!

Thanks for watching! We tried and we got hurt a lot. Thank you very much to all! Thanks for suggesting this (mumbles). It was too difficult! Fuck you! (laughs) - Welcome Carly, I'm Madison. It is a pleasure having you in here. This is Amber. - Hello Amber. - I'm deaf in one ear. - Oh sorry to hear that. (laugh track) - Yeah. And I'm... (audience wooh!) - Oh, this is Sasha. - Okay, the factory dildo rejects it. Let's get into position. - What a bitch! (laugh track) - I have better people to be with. - What a bitch! - She is my best friend. - No I'm not. - Carly, are we going to be best friends? - I hope so. -Let's start the music before she dies on me. - Go! - No, I can't hear the music - That's for me!

I can't hear the music. (laugh track) - Yes!!
