wow all these negative comments but again, this is fine dining, price-tag-over-your-head type of fine dining. these people would not be earning min wage. I thought it was really interesting to see all the thought and practice that goes into every movement. Sure in the normal sense it's ridiculous and unnecessary but these customers are paying a golden price tag so the restaurants are delivering an experience more than just food.

Not sure why there's so much negativity towards this. I've been in ballet my entire life, and it helped me a lot when I was a server. I've had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 4 years old, so ballet kept me in shape and in control. Instead of being so god damn negative, maybe appreciate people who put work in. I've even bartended en pointe! :D

What the hell is this ballet horseshit? Just get my order right, bring my goddamn food to my table on time, and don't make me ask three times to refill my water glass that's been empty for 25 minutes. Few enough waiters can manage to even get the basics right, so nevermind training them to pirouette my steak to me.

Let us say she failed as a ballerina and reinvented herself into this ridiculous new business for fine dining restaurant owners wannabes, which clearly don't have an idea what it really takes to open up and keep up with such a restaurant because they are not even learned gastro workers.

This is like the professional pencil sharpening service. completely unnecessary, pretentious, and only contributing to the downfall of civilization. She is quite the opportunist. The clients are the fools, not her.

IMHO it's just applefication of the restaurant industry. You are getting an experience for your money, not just food, something to convince you that the MARK-UP price is worth what you get.

Whilst I appreciate that it works for Rachel given her background, for others to do as she teaches is so unauthentic and forced that it feels uncomfortable.

With the upmost respect, personally I don't care if the server lunges at me like a wild banchee as long as the food is v good. In my opinion. Pretentious
