  • so great video thank you from Paris

  • not dead yet!

  • This is ridiculous.....you bring us culture, grace and elegance...where is the infringement in this....why isn't YouTube's attention elsewhere....perhaps a new channel will bring a new beginning....Спасибо, что поделились чудес балет!

  • Очень жалко!

  • Ilya, I am sorry to hear this! I just discovered your video's two weeks ago and I've watched many of them. Your videos are an inspiration to many people. Good Luck to you!!!

  • Nooo

    New account!!

  • this makes me cry :(

    P.S. Keep up the good work, Ilya!

  • NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO :( SIGN UP FOR ANOTHER ACOUNT PLEASEEEEE <3 i watch your videos literally every dayy :( :( :(

  • Sus vídeos expresan alegría, esfuerzo, trabajo e ilusión, además de la belleza que concierne al arte practicado.

    Felicitaciones a este maestros y a todos estos chicos que tanto placer estético me brindan.

    Mi admiración renovada a esta escuela del Bolshoi la cual, en la medida que ahora se me hizo más cercana, también se me ha hecho más querible

  • Recién me entero de la intención de Youtube de cerrar este canal. Si eso ocurre quedaré muy indignado. Lo consideraré además, no sólo un atropello a todos nosotros que somos subscriptores sino, también, un ataque a la cultura en general y a la danza en particular.

    Soy profesor universitario y, como tal, estoy muy agradecido a ilya por la oportunidad que me da de poder participar en su actividad docente referida a un arte que disfruto mucho.

  • To Ilya - what happened to you has happened to others. All you have to do is sign up for a new account using another name and upload all your videos using this name.

  • @ilyaballet Your videos have been a source of inspiration for me so many times...you are without a doubt my favorite channel. I hope this is not permanent!!

  • @ilyaballet Your videos have been a source of inspiration for me so many times...you are without a doubt my favorite channel. I hope this is not permanent!!

  • I thought that was very brave. 

  • This is so sad Ilya! Your videos has brought so much inspiration to me and my fellow ballet students in Norway! I sure hope youtube will reconsider this case, because very many people will loose something they really cherish. Good luck to you an all your students, and hopefully we will get to feel like a little part of you special lives for much longer!

  • felt disappointing!! i share student's dances & preparation classes 4 ballet exams on u tube 2. my school is a leading school training smaller children in my area. i m not affraid of other ballet school's teacher nearby watching them but sincerely sharing with all, not challenging anyone. students come &go.

    what is wrong with sharing & bringing more improvement 2 students & teachers. v r happy sharing.basic attitude of understanding &respect shud b practice. ballet improve due 2 u tube 2..

  • dear mr kuznetsov, this is my first comment, but i follow you a long time ago, im surprised and sad for this channel, i hope that everithing will be ok because see your post are one of my favorites things... thanks a lot for your post!!!

  • Very disappointing news that the channel has to be closed down! Isnt it enough to remove the illegal video instead of opening a new channel? Whatsoever good luck and keep up the good work!

  • My dear Mr. Kuznetsov, how evil a person could do such a horrible thing to your enormous generousity?

    Though you don't abandon us, YT balletomanes and ballet students.

    I respect you no matter what!!!

  • This is devastating ! Ilya how long are you going to be closed..? I am a ballet teacher of very young students and they all watch your channel..! Would you consider other media channels such as Vimeo..? thank you, thank you and we love you in NY ! come and visit !

  • Unbelievable! What a stupid world we are living in! All kinds of degrading, vilolent and porn videos are available on youtube but they have to shut down the channel that educates people and brings the best and the most inspirational pieces of art to the humanity. Iliya , Thank you so much for everything you have done for us !!Огромная благодарность и низкий поклон!

  • hey you could create another channel with another name , but similar to this one!

  • We are still undecided. He is 16. Also considering Princess Grace Academy in Monaco which has a new director, Luca Masala. After IBC in Jackson, Mississippi,

    USA in June, he will probably attend the Bolshoi program in N.Y. for and then??????

  • No! I love watching your ALL of your videos and am crushed that you have to close this channel :(

    Thank you so, so much for all your posts and I'm with MAKSIMOWAWASILIEW - is there anything we can do to help?

    I hope your channel will not be closed for a while either and PLEASE lets us know if you set up an alternate website where we can view these wonderful clips.

    Thank you so much for sharing

  • this is so terrible! I love this channel, the videos are wonderful.

  • What a great loss this will be! My son is a student at one of the top professional ballet schools in the country but it doesn't compare to your class. To be able to watch your videos is such an eye opener for us and an education for him and countless others. Thank you so much for everything you have given us.

  • Priviet Ilya, what has happened? Whatever, thank you very, very, very much for everything you posted. Can we do anything for you?

  • @maksimowawasiliew nothing for me =)

    I'm fine! Hope it will not be closed for a wile..

  • @ilyaballet This so terrible!!! The ballet lovers are going to be very hurt!

    You are such a wonderful teacher and mainly a extremely touch by your art of teaching ans sharing with the rest of the world, what a non sense thing is going on in this world. Please is there any way you can start another form of showing your wonderful art?

  • who was his ex student sorry?

  • I am so sad to hear this. I have been watching and learning from your videos for months. I sometimes wondered if they were too good to last. But this news is really depressing. Perhaps you would consider making some dvds of your videos. I am sure many of us would be happy to pay for them. Those videos of both your students and the vaganova training are gems.

  • Where are you teaching now?

  • @shayerrocks In Bolshoi Ballet Academy - Moscow, Russia,

  • @ilyaballet My son was at the Academy in Moscow from Feb. 6/2010 thru March 06/2010 and danced in the Gala. His teacher was Smirnoff. Last summer he attended the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in N.Y. and his teacher was Valerie Anisemov.

    He recognized you when I showed him your youtube post. Thank you so much. It's great to be able to communicate with you. What do you think of the John Cranko School in Stuggart? We are considering it for next year.

  • @shayerrocks I think it is great - If he is going to be in Pestov class!

  • I don't understand,why you have to close this channel.people from YOUTUBE got it wrong this time,hope that something can be done and save all this wondefurl clips you have posted here,I really enjoy watching them.

  • Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this - one the best channels on Youtube. I hope you will be able to return again soon with more of your wonderful ballet videos. You will be sadly missed by all.

  • This is truly sad! Your videos have been a great source of inspiration. I enjoy watching them very much. I hope you will be able to resolve the issue in some way and perhaps open another channel in the future. Best wishes in all that you do!

  • Your channel is an inspiration. Your students are excellently trained. The various classroom videos; enlightening. In the deteriorating world of dance, this collection has been an oasis. The Ilyaballet channel has become a major learning resource for teachers and students alike. I hope the person who is trying destroy this channel sees these comments and realizes that they are NOT doing the right thing. There is another way to solve the problem.

  • Can you explain me:who- and why- is censuring this interesting site?

  • Lets not all lose these wonderful clips - download them and upload again on our pages.

    Surely not all the clips infringe copyright?

  • "ilyaballet channel" is one of the greatest treasures in youtube. The first great lost for us, the lovers of russian ballet, was the closing of the ketino's channel. Is amazing how great can become the stupidity and the selfishness of one person. I hope we can enjoy this wonderfull chanel for a long time. Anyhow, thank you Ilya for share with us your knowledge and your video jewels

  • @lagartijococotero well said - ilyaballet has provided us with a fascinating look into the ballet world and his videos will be really missed by many people. How said that one person can spoil everything for so many - and the 'anonymous' person who has been so selfish should be named and 'shamed'.

  • Terrible!!!!!!!! Yes, once again the world will be deprived.

  • This is so SAD! You've done so much for the world of ballet!!!! Thank you for all videos you posted.

  • oh ilya :( im going to miss all the ballet videos ! thankyou so much, they have made me determined to succeed in ballet so thankyou :)

  • I am so sorry his video is closing down. I am dying of cancer and watching the ballet clips from ilya have brought me great comfort in the closing of my days of my life. The man who reported it anonymously must be a jealous looser who hasn't any of iliay's talents.

  • Ohhh no this is really sad, I can only thank you so much for all those great videos you've shared all this time with all of us ballet lovers. Youtube won't be the same without your channel for us. Thank you once again.

  • VII.Please don't regard this as legal advice as I don't know the specifics of the law of the relevant jurisdiction(s), but I hope this helps in some way. As a fan of your site who really loves ballet, I hope you'll write to YouTube asking forgiveness for any inadvertent copyright breach, and asking them to allow the site to remain open.

    Good luck!

  • VI.If you have infringed, usually an apology and removal of the offending work would go a long way to solving the problem. Unless you repeatedly post copyright infringing material, I can't see why YouTube would want to close ilyaballet (their policy says "Accounts determined to be repeat infringers may be subject to termination"

  • So if you already have, or can go and get, permission from the Competition Board, you could lodge a Counter Notification with YouTube explaining that you're not infringing

  • IV.'The Competition Board reserves all rights for TV broadcasting, video recording and filming of all three Rounds, Closing Ceremony and two Gala-concerts of laureates and Diploma Holders of the Competition, as well as for their further distribution (on commercial basis including) without additional fee payable to the contestants, their partners or pianists... Video recording and filming shall be possible only upon receipt of special permission from the Competition Board. ")

  • III.You may alternatively have had permission, or still obtain, from the venue/competition. If so, it probably wouldn't be copyright infringement. The competition rules (posted on their website say:

  • II.You may inadvertently have infringed copyright in the 'artistic works' in the costumes by reproducing them on the video of the competition, in 'dramatic works' in the choreography, or in 'musical works' if music was reproduced in the background? then again, it's possible the copying may be regarded as 'fair use' or 'fair dealing'. For example, if it's for purposes of critique or reporting the news.

  • As a ballet lover who happens to be a copyright lawyer, I find this a little surprising. I have a good knowledge of international copyright standards (as governed by the Berne Convention, to which Russia is a signatory, as are most other countries and all members of the WTO). Specifics of the law vary between jurisdictions. For example, performers have rights to control use of their images in some places but not others.

  • I'll need to post my comments in several parts as they won't fit within 500 characters...

  • Is there some way you can forward all these comments, including this one, to persuade the authority to remove 'offensvie' material and leave the rest?

    xx

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! :'[

  • I'm sorry to hear the bad news. You have provided such wonderful videos for us. The channel has been a window into ballet and very inspiring. I hope you can make a new channel maybe even on a diff video service if you must. Please keep us posted. Sorry Ilya.

  • Oh no! I love your videos. =( Can't you just start a new channel?

  • Your videos are the best. I hate to see you go. Spasiba for all the videos, your videos are so artistic, and have given me so much enjoyment. Iam learning Russian, have just learned the Russian alpabet, and hope to visit Moscow and St Petersburg to see the ballet.

  • That's completely unfair! Others have been able to remove copyrighted material but not close their sites! Why are you being forced to? Please, please, please make a new channel! Ballet is like air to me, I need it in my life. Since I had to stop teaching and dancing you have been my lifeline back to that very difficult but rewarding world. I'll miss taking class with all your old Vaganova classes. Thank you for all your hard work!!!

  • I am so saddened by this announcement- you have done beautiful things.

  • Once again, the world will be deprived of an amazing education in ballet. Ilyaballet has provided a window so few of us have an opportunity to peek through. I hope that youtube will reconsider making this tragic mistake of censuring all the wonderful clips and remove only the one in question. Thank you Ilyaballet!

  • Sorry you are forced to close. Please come back to us with another channel.

    Your the best. Best wishes and good luck

  • All my sympathies to you Ilya, and why do we have to accept this totally

    rigid system! As someone wrote below - why isn't it enough to remove the "offensive" material and leave the others to a free world!

    I hope you will do like Ketinoa- start an alternative channel.

    best regards Revoltade

  • All my sympathies to you Ilya, and why do we have to accept this totally

    rigid system! As someone wrote below - why isn't it enough to remove the "offensive" material and leave the others to a free world!

    I hope you will do like Ketinoa- start an alternative channel.

    best regards Revoltade

  • @revoltade What is the name of her new channel? I was wondering if there was one somewhere.

  • I'm terribly sorry to heard that. I loved so much your videos, all your work. Thank you for having shared with us these wonderful moments of ballet. I hope you will create a new channel or something like a blog, a website ...

    Once more: thank you.

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NO AND NO. Your channel can not be close

  • Terrible, terrible, terrible ... Why can't youtube give the channel the opportunity to remove the copyrighted material and leave all the rest. After all, the people who watch ilyaballet are the very ones who go out and buy tickets and CD's of copyrighted material. Without free access to this material, audiences are going to be diminished. Thank you so much Ilya for your generous spirit and service to ballet. I hope you can arrange to pop up somewhere else on the internet. Judith from Manhattan

  • ilya don't close ,viva ilyaballet

  • ilya please don't do this,we love too much your channel,please if necessary open a new one don't permit this crime against ballet world

  • That's just terrible news Ilya.. What a b....rd that guy is!! This is my most favorite channel in youtube. I know you can open up another channel, but having to upload everything again is crazy.. I am sooo sorry for you and for us who are losing the chance to view your wonderful videos.

    But, thank you, thank you, thank you for countless hours of pleasure watching your videos. Come back soon.

  • i'm not sure, in the situation you describe, that he has any claim to copyright in that situation. how awful though.

  • Oh no that is such a shame :( I hope there is something that can be done to fix this! Your videos always bring me joy and it has been wonderful watching your students progress. Thank you!

  • Ilya, you cannot let anyone (specially a bitter coward as this person seems to be) stop you from making these great videos. Open a new channel.

  • PLEASE don't close this channel!! :'(

  • =( , i´m gonna miss your channel my good friend

  • This is my favorite channel! Such great beautiful videos. Thankyou for these, they have brought me so much enjoyment. You are a true artist.

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    this is the best Ballet Channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :C

  • I don't understand why the channel has to be canceled. I love this channel!

  • illya- How is it possible this asshole whoever he is can disrupt the joy so many receive from your channel? Just cut out his famous student no one has ever heard of and that's that! Who is he to have such power?

  • I'm going to miss your channel a lot u_u

    but, wouldn't it be posible to just delete the "problem" video? o.o

  • please if it's closed, open a new one, and keep posting the videos!

  • This is not good. I so much enjoyed seeing the dancers and the unique videos that you have produced. I will miss checking my subscriptions every day to see if there is a new video from you. Would it be possible for you to create a new channel?

  • I love your channel too! I'm so sorry this happened. I agree with soubrette! Start another channel and let us know so we can follow you. Good luck!

  • Ilya, don't give up! Start another channel and keep up your great work. You can recreate your old library and make new videos.

  • The jealousy and politics of the ballet world are ugly; it is unfortunate that those who lose are the individuals simply trying to inspire and educate the world.

    P.S. You spoke very well. :)

  • This is terrible! I love your channel too.

  • no!!!!i love this channel.this person have must at least contact you before making something like that so rude you have at least the right to know why he did something like that.i cant believe it one of the best channel of youtube so sad,

    i cant only say thank you because even i dont know you ,your channel make me apreciate ballet and now is part of my life.thanks.

  • oh, NO!!!!!

    this is a wonderful channel - so interesting to have this unique window into the ballet world.

    Thank you Ilya for many hours of pure pleasure you have given us!! :(

  • WHAT!? Of which videos did they violate any rules??????? No way...

  • I'm not sure I understand the reason why, but I'm sorry to see this channel close.  You have produced beautiful ballet videos that we have enjoyed all over the world. Thank you!!

  • oh no!! first ketinoa, and now you! all of the great ballet channels are being exterminated :( this is so sad.

  • I can´t believe this is happening. Can you just delete this video that is causing this problems? Youtube directors should give you some warning, but not closing your channel. We will be always your friends. Please keep in touch in some form. At least I could download some of your wonderful videos.

    I wish you all the very best. You are the very best teacher and artist yet.

    Best Regards!

  • NOOOOO! OMG I HATE WHO EVER THAT PERSON IS! Ily thank you so much for everything!! your videos are truly inspiring!!

  • Печально.Впрочем,я не очень удивлена.А вам Илья,большое спасибо за прекрасный канал.

    С уважением Л.Виканова

  • oh no :((((((((( so sad!!!!

    but thank you for the videos!! they have been an inspiration to me for my ballet training!! i'll miss them!

  • I'm so sorry to hear this! I love your YouTube channel so much. Hopefully you will be able to make a new YouTube channel very soon. I wish you all the best. By the way to did very well in front of the camera. =)

  • This is so sad. Your videos are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing them with us!

  • I can't believe this channel is going to be closed!!! Thank you very much for sharing all the wonderful and very inspiring videos!!!

  • These are indeed very bad news. Like the previous posters I can only hope that there will be a possibility to continue the channel or that you might open a new one.

    Спасибо большое for sharing all these beautiful moments with us!

  • no no no!!!!! This can't be happening! First ketinoa and now ilyaballet, the best providers of russian ballet videos! Thank you so much Ilyaballet for all your videos showing the inside of the Bolshoi and Vaganova schools! I love your videos so much! I wish they wouldn't be taken down! Can you get another channel and repost the videos?

  • I am sorry to loose this channel. I hope you will add a new one soon. Thanks for all your hard work ♥

  • DON'T CLOSE YET !!!

  • I don't know why all videos have to be deleted because someone isn't happy with one/a few of them? Why isn't it enough just to remove those that are troubling him?

    The same happened to Ketinoa. Ballet is scarring a lot of people.

    Ilya, thank you very much for everything you did for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you! (reverence)

  • I love the historical videos you have put on youtube!! This cannot be happening!! I am so sorry and sad at the same time

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!

  • That's so sad. Thank you so much for everything you've done, it's been invaluable and I hope you continue to post/do things online, be it on another account. We'll all be following.

  • Noo, this is so sad. Is there nothing they can do? YouTube won't be the same without you. Do they really have to remove all your videos? I'm so sad. This is terrible! Thank you so much for all you uploads and sharing. It's been so wonderful to watch. You will be greatly missed. I cannot believe they can do that :((

  • This is terrible news. Thank you ilyaballet for bringing the world such wonderful training clips. It has been wonderful for my students, myself and all who hope to achieve a higher level in ballet training. It was wonderful while it lasted. This is terrible news.

  • This is terrible terrible news. Why can't youtube just take down the "offending" clip? Thank you so much for all you have shared with us. I hope that someone can intervene and allow you to continue.

  • That's really too bad. I enjoyed your channel very much.

  • i'm so sorry!!you don't deserve it. you bring us the possibility of seeing the effort day by day and the excellents results of the dancers. by seeing your videos I love ballet more and more... I don't understand why someone would like to close your account. I'm so sad.. my best wishes!! and make a new account ;-) (sorry for my english if there are mistakes)

  • OMG!!! No, pleaseee!

    This channel is AWESOME, and "Teacher's Day 2009" is my favourite video EVER!!! So you can't do anything???

    Sad to hear. Anyway... good luck on everything! ;)
