[Fanart] Hetalia Ballet

[dejablue7.livejournal.com]

Title: Hetalia Ballet sketches
Rating: G
Warning: ...for dancing men? And utter crack?
Characters: Germany, Italy
Summary: The titles speak for themselves, I think.
Germany/Italy Pas de Deux
More of the same -- but very rough.

Because I have recently become very interested in the idea of military/history inspired ballets. And I started imagining Hetalia as this amazing ballet...


If Hetalia were a ballet:

-It'd be this seriously masculine piece, like the ballet Spartacus, except with WWII military type costumes rather than man-skirts Roman period costumes.
-It'd probably be more abstract than literal on the historical going-ongs.
-The Nations would be introduced by variations danced to their national anthems.
-Little bits and pieces from the period's music would be worked in, like wartime marches and swing
-Ludwig and Feliciano would have a pas de deux. Because they're canon. What?
-I'd love to work pieces of the Prince Igor Polovtsian Dances in somehow. At the very least, the parts involving Russia.
-More of my crack-thoughts here - LJ link.

If I were a normal Hetalia fan, I'd be doing something reasonable. Not imagining ballets based on WWII webcomics and military-historical going-ons.

Thank you! And thanks for the comments on the DA page too :D Though I'm afraid there's not much else on my DA account yet...:/

APPROVED!

...that's amazing. LOL
XD

aahhh...you've got a point there. XD Oh well. I personally have found our general fanbase to be pretty magnificent anyway...a bunch of nation shippers and history buffs...who aren't afraid to embrace the silly side of life lol

I love the motion and anatomy in these!

Also, re: the dancing, I definitely want to see, if possible as live action, the various countries doing national dances--England and France a minuet, Poland a Mazurka, etc. Hopefully I can get some of this off the ground too, but these are really beautiful sketches and I had been wondering what the menfolks would look like dancing.

Thank you! =)
the various countries doing national dances
Ah, that would be fantastic! :D My knowledge about what folk dances belong to which nations is actually pretty sketchy...but that sounds wonderful. Mmmm, there's something really lovely about seeing men dance well, actually, especially since the general stereotype seems to be that dancing is for girls only.

Oh god, Alfred dancing to Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. This will never, ever leave my head.

_{It may also have completed my life. Thank you.}

Edit: And I of course love your sketches, too! They're so dramatic~ I am just overcome by the brilliance of this idea. OTL

[dejablue7.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D
Hahah, and I'm glad you found the idea of Alfred dancing to that song entertaining too ;)

I LOVE this post. That is just...brilliant and wonderful and asdgfhj so many ideas now.

Oh and man, I really love your sense of motion. Gah ♥

[dejablue7.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D I'm glad that I've infected people with these crazy ideas too now...muahahaha...:3

The one thing I have to ask, would everyone be portrayed by their proper gender?

(which makes me giggle because there ARE some all-male ballet companies out there.... with guys trained to do the female roles.... which means we could get some pretty neat stuffs going on while maybe still having them all dressed male-like... and then import a few girls for Hungary and the like. *o*)

[dejablue7.livejournal.com]

All male ballet companies...you mean like THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1giFy6ktVYE)? ;D

I was actually thinking everyone portrayed as their proper gender though. Well, except maybe Poland. I like seeing proper male dancers. Izz sexy ^.^

Totally pictured England's dance not being to God Save the Queen, but Jerusalem instead xD;;;

"Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!"


I fully support Hetalia ballet. With all the guys and being introduced by their national anthems/dances. That would be so awesome.

[chiruha-kyuu.livejournal.com]

And just like that you not only gave me something to picture in my mind all day but also an odd craving for watching ballet. It seems so appropriate that it would be disturbing if the idea wasn't, well, so awesome.

Loved the sketches too ♥.

[dejablue7.livejournal.com]

Hah, thanks! ^.^
Ballet, when done by really skilled, professional dancers...and none of that namby-pamby pink sickly sweet stuff that is the stereotype...is really an awe-inspiring art form.
