[cursive700]

r there more videos of the ending

[KatrinaAnn9]

@petrovasuper

How tall is Lada? Just curious. :D

[petrovasuper]

@KatrinaAnn9 I don't know exactly - she is small!)))

[RONIDC1979]

thrilled elated . it was wonderful . superb i am speechless words can not express. i love the fact that she looks like she wants to do this . not like she is being exploited . i can see that God put her on this plant to do ballet. she is not just dancing for no purpose . she was born to do this. she is a reflection of the grace and Love of God. may Jesus bless her

[Ballerinchen1000]

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH i dont like this subject;)Idanced ballet with 4-6 years we did pliés and so on....now i very caught up and now i take balletlessons for my oldclass and yet i want to go to the "Berli9n state ballettschool"(staatliche ballettschule berlin)is that still possible?

That was the question;)Thank you!

[petrovasuper]

@Ballerinchen1000 I don't know! It depends on you level and talent

[Ballerinchen1000]

@petrovasuper Yes of course ;)

You know in germany the ballettschools are not so proffesionel and they trained only once a week :(

For you russian teacher its of course to train every day but gemany is diffrent so i don know what is talented for you.but i have next time a video from me on youtube.I'll let you know then;)Thank you for reding:)

[petrovasuper]

@Ballerinchen1000 Ok!

[ballerinaforever1]

I wish I could go to Russia and be trained by russian ballerinas...

[Ballerinchen1000]

Please answer !!:)

I'm 11 and i've already done ballet with 6 and I'm for 3 month(still ) taken balletlessons

for my oldclass i hav(and sorry for my english)e very caught up now i want to go to the berlin on state balletschool

is that still possible?

[petrovasuper]

@Ballerinchen1000 Yes, wy not! But I didn't understand the question exactly

[MrsFakedSmile]

@Ballerinchen1000

Sure :) You're still young enough to learn everything.

Go to one of the auditions and they'll decide about your potential.

Talent is more important than the.."perfection"of your movements

[mlrafiki]

My mind is blown. Margot Fonteyn is on record as saying Odile was among the most difficult roles she performed regularly in her career, and here's an 8-year-old making it look easy. You are really doing something right over there!

[BeluLizzie]

I've always wondered.. when you have a class full of 4/5 year olds, doing basic ballet steps (most of them considering it a "game", not taking it seriously because of their age), how can you tell which are the ones that have the potential to be like Lada? I mean, which are the things that told you as a teacher "this kid is different"? I'm just curious :) by the way, this girl is amazing!

[petrovasuper]

@BeluLizzie You know, our students - all of them - are very seriose. We speak with them like with adultes, like they are professional ballet dancers. So - they start to be professional ballet dancers very early. Not only Lada - everyone in our school? because it's a ballet theatre

[owenselkirk]

omg.. this is just wrong..(obviously jealous)

[raccoonxeyesxx]

I'll try to keep this clean, as I am entirely amazed but OH MY GOD.

She is destined to be a principal dancer at a prestigious company! Who else can whip out so many fouettes and pirouettes and remember all that choreography at ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD?! She is incredible.

[marianaballerina]

are you going to upload more videos of lada? Please do it, she is amazing! Tatiana Petrova, I want you and Kuramshin to be my teachers!

[petrovasuper]

@marianaballerina Ok, egreed!)))

[rheahinlo]

oh word!!!!!!

[MiLoveCats]

Please answer me!! i love her technique, just curious but which kind of pointe shoes does she wear and when in her birthday? thank you and congratulations for your student!! :D

[petrovasuper]

@MiLoveCats Thank you! Lada wears Grishko. Her birthday - 17 of August 2002

[MiLoveCats]

@petrovasuper that's so cool! thank's!! how is she doing now? and do you know what kind of model of grishko? i'm just curious!!

[petrovasuper]

@MiLoveCats She's fine, thanks! I don't know, what model - i'll ask her

[MiLoveCats]

@petrovasuper thank's so much!!!

[nATaLiEGee97]

@petrovasuper I am from New Zealand, and i love to watch these videos of Lada, she is so inspiring and an amazing dancer.... and she has amazing teachers too (: well done, and tell Lada she has lots of fans (: xx

[petrovasuper]

@nATaLiEGee97 O, thank you very much! New Zealand is so far from Russia! It's so kind of you to tell us good words about our work! Thank you - and all the best

[LilRedRidingHood12]

I Wish i Was as Good As Lada

[balletdancer815a]

how old is lada now???

[petrovasuper]

@balletdancer815a Now she is 9.

[marianaballerina]

Please answer me! I really love your students. They are all amazing! Congratulations for the teachers!

[petrovasuper]

@marianaballerina Thank you1 Yes, of course i will answer you! What's the question?

[marianaballerina]

@petrovasuper how many time do you essay for each recital?

[angel37cute]

the boy need to move more

[TeoKaiHui]

Most of the time her attitudes are alabecos,,,,,,but 8 year old doing a pas dee deux already??? WOW!!!!!! She is like born to be a ballerina, with those attitude turns and doulbe picke turns or triple.............JUST SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! And the fouettes too!

[TeoKaiHui]

[rawrcherry]

She is an amazing ballerina (=

The boy is really cute, you can see all the effort he has put just by watching his face.

Amazing job!!

[rawrcherry]

I think the boy is really cute (= jj

[KitriChristine]

She's dance is amazing. But I think that she is too little to dance this

[laloco123456789]

I Love It is Amazing!

This is So Cool!

[Dance4Life4Ever17]

since she's so good, i guess i can be picky, but her arabesques and attitudes are not directly behind her, i predict when she grows up she's going to be worldwide famous!

[MichelleTwinky]

Only reason why I would have loved to be Russian...ballet schools

[BallerinaFreak7]

holy crap.

[purplemangojellyrain]

she is so mature

[danceizmyworld]

OMG!!!! She's amazing! Especially with all those fouettes! Me and all the other girls I take class with can't do nearly that many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mari9911loveall]

Awesome.... Love it....

[xEloiseKerryx]

brilliant! i thought you werent allowed to go on pointe at age 8 though?

[RavenEvanescence]

5:57-7:53 I'm in love with her shadow

[AnouDance]

Great jobs of the teacher and the students !

See your work is ever a big pleasure !!!!

[petrovasuper]

@AnouDance Thank you very much!

[theamazingsoter]

No variation for Vladislav?

[petrovasuper]

@theamazingsoter He dances of course in the performances

[AhiruAndFakirForever]

That was truly incredable! I wish I was that good, and when she's only 8!

[bluewinter1969]

Thank you for updating us on Lada. I have never been a dancer but who could ever forget seeing Lada as a very small child dancing. Good luck Lada.

[FaerienceChannel]

That's just unbelievable! How is this possible?! She's only 8 for chrissake!

[ballerinababe901]

wow! she's really good. I can see why she got to do this :) keep up the awesome work!

[cabinthewoods90]

Jesus she's only 8??? o.O

[111Nikki222]

oh my goodness, how many spins did she do at the end?! that was outstanding

[petrovasuper]

@balletcharm She learns Franch

[jovidancefreak]

Thank you soo much! :) what hapen to ksenia? is she still dancing with you guys? i would love to see her dance as well

[jovidancefreak]

could you please post more videos of lada during class practise or class performance?? :) really love to see her dance

[petrovasuper]

@jovidancefreak Ok, we'll start on September and post more videos with Lada

[songbird377]

She is absolutely amazing !

[cerysjonesyrocks24]

she dances like she has life experence ... at 8! go lada :D

[ieasharan13]

Jeez Lada, way to make us all look bad. Seriously though, Lada is amazing. I'm 4'11 and 16 and im not as good as her. You have a brilliant school and very talented student.

[Multilovebubbles1]

i sometimes wonder (not be like you're training wrong because im just a student myself) what happens when they turn 13 i mean that's usually when they are working as hard as she is when she is 8 so...

[petrovasuper]

@Multilovebubbles1 She will be good, don't worry

[vsxvjnusv]

Shes completely impossible - shes 8 and you can already see that shes not only pure technique and even now she adds a bit of emotion into her dance . SHES JUST AMAZING .

[XsweetriceX]

may i ask what the violin piece is at 01:44 ? i remember dancing to it once before...

[bunneybou]

God, she has absolutely beautiful lines.

[alinninhabailarina]

=D

[OhEmGee2222]

You are so amazing! I'm fourteen and not nearly as good as she is! I don't know whether to feel super jealous or super motivated. :) Anyway, Lada makes me want to work ten times harder during class. I hope to see her do more amazig things in the future! <3

[showersinger34]

I love that you've got a 14 year old boy playing romantic leads opposite in 8 year old girl. It makes me laugh :)

At the same time, the talent on that stage is overwhelming. Brava, bravo!

[Flippables]

Слышала, что раньше 10 лет на пуанты не ставят. А в этой студии такие маленькие девочки (7,8 лет) и уже на пуантах.

не слишком ли рано?

[emilyngorira]

she made a historyyy

[tossedover1]

Will other students from your ballet school come to YAGP March 2012 NYC

[tossedover1]

Love - Lada Sartakova - Dancing The Black Swan! So glad she is coming to YAGP March 2012 NYC

[RainingSilence]

God I wish I could fly to Russia and have you teach me :')

[lockergr]

Brilliant. Thank you for this! My goodness, the sequence around 9:10. Jaw drops. 8 years old. Well I am well aware that children are apt to awe us, and such is this. Well done little Miss! 

[polkadotpolka123]

oh my goodness!!!! THOSE FOUETTES!!!

[Meiologyful]

Ah she look so fragile !

[lumyaky]

Ладочка, умница, талантливая и трудолюбивая девочка, спасибо! Спасибо и учителям, безусловно замечательным и любящим свое ремесло людям! Успехов Ладе в дальнейшей учебе, никогда не останавливаться на достигнутом!

[petrovasuper]

@lumyaky Простите, но не согласна со словом ремесло. Профессия учителя для меня - это моя жизнь и творчество, помощь детям, в профессии и в жизни, каждый день, пока они со мной и дальше, всю их взрослую жизнь. А ремесло - это нечто другое. Ремесленником в своём деле никогда не была и не буду. А за остальное спасибо.

[onnimo]

how many hours a week she trains? How did u find her? :) she is amazing

[petrovasuper]

@onnimo We've made her. We are her ballet teachers from the age of 4,5. She train 3-4 hours a day

[carolinacasaril]

@petrovasuper A lovely dancer you have there. Reassuringly free in her arms and face shows me she is not trained too strictly and has freedom still. SHe is obviously a natural turner and I like that you have not made her be so disciplined that it remains a little messy. I'm sure you know, as it is obvious, that she will get better with time and you are obviously protecting her spirit too and let her 'just dance' instead of correcting every single little thing (turn out for example). :)

[imah12345]

@petrovasuper she should trained 7-8 hours O_O because i practiced 8 hours a day O_O and on Pointe

[harigepudding]

@petrovasuper You've made her? What do you mean? Is she your child?

[Beam261]

She is a special little dancer with an amazing career waiting...but I hope she gets to enjoy her childhood too, so she doesn't become another burnt out child star. That would be such a pity, because dancers like her are rare. Take good are of her, physically and mentally :)

What roles/variations/competitions is she going to do next?

[petrovasuper]

@Beam261 YAGP 2012. Believe me, she has a childhood like other kids - ballet is just one side of her life

[ViolaGirlLovesMusic]

lovely, keep on dancing! :D

[insecret100]

Слава ЛАДА!

Какие значительное улучшение за последние два года!

До сих пор так молодой, но вы показать такие Грейс и зрелости.

Я надеюсь на один день увидеть вас на сцене в США

Извините, если мой русский это плохо.

Много любви

Элизабет

[petrovasuper]

@insecret100 Thank you very much! You can see Lada when we will be here in New York on March - YAGP 2012. We are going to come

[KPCcovers]

When did Lada start dancing ballet

[petrovasuper]

@KPCcovers At 4,5

[cerysjonesyrocks24]

absoutuley breathtaking .. i no that you know you will go along way so you probably dont need telling again ... but seriously my sister is 8 and she can barely do 1 pirorette:)

[jogosgames2010]

absolutely wonderful tears came to my eyes..... well done sweetheart

her parents must be over the moon with pride!!!!

[americangirlballet]

Lada's technique has greatly improved. I love watching her!

[xxnoodlexx223]

that was absolutely beautiful!! she was amazing! far better than I am..brilliant!

[66Russian]

Im spechless!

Im just loving it, she will be a great dancer.

[agsaltiel]

Amazing! Congratulations Lada, all the way from Puerto Rico.

You are a beautiful ballerina. All the hard work and dedication and all the passion you must have for dance has made you this incredible dancer with just 8 years old. Never lose hope or the passion for dance you will go a very very long way. Wish you the best in all that you do. And keep on dancing! You are a perfect example to remind people that nothing is impossible if you really wanted and work for it.

[alpha754293]

Lada!!!! Your fouettés are AMAZING!!!

@petrovasuper

Can you put this on DVD and we buy it from you and you mail it to us?

[petrovasuper]

@alpha754293 Yes, ok, but now I'm in New York teaching classical and character dances american children. We will do it in August, when I will be at home, ok?

[alpha754293]

@petrovasuper

Sure no problem. Just send me a message when you get home to remind me and we'll do this. I think this is amazing. Do you have the entire show on video?

[petrovasuper]

@alpha754293 Yes

[alpha754293]

a) Damn Russians! b) They're making a come back!! (yay) c) I should NOT having having this much love for an 8-year old, and d) she's got absolutely like perfect (or very near perfect) form, doing pointe at 8!!!!

[RGDANCEcom]

Lada, this is your moment in the Sun.....congratulations on your passion for dance which has led you to this wonderful performance. You have been born in the right place at the right time and it proves, 'that when the student is ready, the right teacher appears'......enjoy your life and follow your dreams

[balletbabe13]

I am speechless. This is phenomenal!

[FD02Ballet]

What school does Lada go to because you train her very well she is very strong en pointe im older than her and im not even en pointe yet and what kinds of pointe shoes does lada wear?

[petrovasuper]

@FD02Ballet This is our private russian school - "Vladislav Kuramshin's ballet school", it is in Saint-Petersburg.

Lada wears Grishko

[littleirisheden]

amazing!!!!



[Jtrrdc]

Amaziing! How many hours does Lada train per week?

[petrovasuper]

@Jtrrdc 3-4 hours per day (1 free day per week).

[baletoman]

Bravo, bravo, hundred times BRAVO!!! Dear Lada, I wish you to be healthy and you could enjoy dancing whole your life.

"Krasivoje! Očeň krasivoje!!!!" :-)

[dancemusic800]

8 years old and performed Odette and Odile....shes on point ! she will most likely be burnt out by the age of 16, she has nothing to work for. She's done the principal role of Swan Lake....what is she going to do now?

[petrovasuper]

@dancemusic800 She's going to grow up and to became a ballet star

[olomouckelabute]

@petrovasuper I thik, that dancemusic800 means, what is the next ballet , then Lada going to dance.. :) And I want to know it too ! ;) She´s perfect, and you two too ;) !

[petrovasuper]

@olomouckelabute I don't think she or he means it. I'm answering you - Lada will dance the leading role in our new ballet "The Red Cappy" (I don't know exactly how it will be in English). It's Frenche fairy tale

[olomouckelabute]

@petrovasuper Thx, iˇm looking foward to it sooooo mutch ! :) Best wishes to you, and good luck ;) And may I ask you too, what is goig to do Victoria in this next projekt ?

[petrovasuper]

@olomouckelabute The lead role too, and may be some others, I can not to tell for sure now, we will start rehearsals in September

[iG3hrke]

how old is her partner?

[petrovasuper]

@iG3hrke He is 14

[celticghillies03]

WOW!! This is incredible, and she's only eight! Wonderful technical and emotional interpretation as well! If she's like this when she's 8, imagine how amazing she'll be at 18! A professional career is in her future if she wants it!!

[laabuelasilvia]

que belleza!! increíble y tan chiquita!!

[FengRuiXuee]

This is just amazing!

[YumaTenshi]

Congrats to Lada and the teachers for this wonderful Swan Lake performance !!

This was just phenomenal. I´m really looking forward to see Lada´s development, so if there will be any new performances of Lada in the near future, please keep on uploading videos of her ! I think I´ve just become a fan of her.

[petrovasuper]

@YumaTenshi Thank you very much! Did you see other performances with Lada on my page? "Snow White" and others? Please look at them

[emilyngorira]

she should be in the guiness book

[emilyngorira]

8 years old and performed Odette and Odile. she should be in the guinness book!

[tossedover1]

So great to see this new Video of Lada Sartakova thankyou so much for posting!

[emilyngorira]

8 years old and performing Odette and Odile.

she should be on guinness book, she made a history

[TheMisakiUeno]

wow.... this is the age when i started learning ballet... :O

[DrVivianBell]

Феноменальный ... 

[pheona1000]

Technically perfect with immense emotional interpretation. We almost do not want these children to grow up in case the magic disappears. Not many teachers have an opportunity to see their instruction transposed to its fullest potential onto their pupils - Bravo!

[livelovedance1080]

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! that was BEYOND amazing!!! that was UNBELEIVABLE!! Lada is the most talented Ballerina i have ever seen!!!!

[orzdancer76]

amazing kid.....

[zushixilaiyi]

I have to remember her name just for the  32 fouettés en tournant !!!!

[balletloverboi]

dude this girls awesome:D the best part is that she looks like shes loving what shes doing:)

[likeafirstday]

omg she ıs goıng to be new star...

[jessDance00]

the part when she did the fouettes i got chills ! :)

[CookieEater7]

My only criticisms are the placement of her foot on pirouette and some wrist positioning -- but she has natural movement and grace, she will go far!

[MaiAnDul]

Omg...what a talented girl! I'm 19 years old, so I won't  never be ballerine,but whatever I like to see other dancers :D

[Lovemakkeup]

Has she done the "Dying Swan" ? I would have loved to see this part danced by her !

[petrovasuper]

@Lovemakkeup No, not yet, but very soon you will see white swan (from the same performance "Swan Lake")

[Lovemakkeup]

@petrovasuper Ok, I can't wait to see it ! Thanks !

[alanameyer1998]

WOW

[polkadotpolka123]

such a big, grown up part executed brilliantly by you little one!! well done!!

[ckizable]

Wow, so beautiful!! How is it that she's on pointe at 8 years old already? I'm just wondering, not skeptical of the teaching obviously. :) It's just that here, I was always told that one can't be put on so young because they may hurt themselves. Is it her training (obviously along with her dedication and talent) that makes this possible? Just curious. :) I love your videos, thanks!

[petrovasuper]

@ckizable Thank you very much! As a teacher I can tell you - some of children are not strong enogh for points, but this girl Lada - she startd at 4,5. So now she is ready for points. Be ready for points - it depends on many things.

[jovidancefreak]

WOW!!!!! will it be possible for u to upload more videos from this recital?? i really love to see LADA dance! she is amazing!!

[Lovemakkeup]

This is SO amazing ! :O <3

[muckychat]

Magnificent! Bravo! How old is the boy?

[petrovasuper]

@muckychat Thank you. He is 14 years old

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

MY GOD!!! Lada is AMAZING!! I can't believe is 8 years old and already playing odette/odile! Her teachers!! MY GOD! I can't even imagine the hours of work they put into teaching!! I'm in awe!

[amatsuable]

Goodness! I hardly know what to say... Bravo! and to the young man too!

xx

[AnouDance]

She's incredible ! A future star !!

BRAVA BRAVA BRAVA !!

[BallerinaAvis]

Amazing what she can do at her young age! Congratulations to Lada and her teachers! Many dancers will never have the opportunity to dance these roles (me included). Well done!

[Pearlaceous]

Oh my goodness! You are a beautiful ballerina already with wonderful pirouettes! I loved your acting as Odile, too! I hope you had a whole dressing room full of flowers afterwards - you deserve them! My best wishes for your future and God bless you! :-))

[Leonnidik]

Dear Lada, I'm 78yrs old and have seen the greatest ballerinas in history, from Plisetskaya to Maximova to Alonso and Fonteyn. You will be great as they were. Tears of joy and excitement came to my eyes watching you dance. You are an 8yr.old MY GOD!!! Natalia Makarova(Your fouetees were better than hers!!!)You have great schooling. I probably won't be around to see you as Prima ballerina Assoluta of the world, but I'll be watching you from heaven sitting next to Pavlova yelling Brava!!

[Qbendanny]

@Leonnidik - Oh MY GOD!! LEO!!! Lada is a prodigy!!!! I just can't believe it!!!! I want to applaud and yell bravo not only to Lada, but, to her magnificent teachers at her school. Every school in the world should have teachers like the ones Lada has, her training is academic perfection. She is so beautiful, her face looks like a Leonardo Da Vinci painting!!! Lada, VIVA!! Lada!! La Bellisima ballerina!!!!!

[harigepudding]

@Leonnidik Sweet!



[Svetlanadanse]

It's WONDERFUL ! I hope it will become a star at the Bolshoi! It is incredible, this girl!

[mosaiquedo]

WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHO­OOOOOOOUUUUUUUU ! 8 years olds ? It's incroyable !! Lada is a genius!!

How many hours she worked per day? Bravo for the wonderful work!

[MailyRussia]

Просто восхитительная, талантливая девочка в руках гениальных педагогов.. Творческих успехов вам) Ладочкино место на лучших сценах!

[YvetteCarteBlanche]

Wow, Lada was always my favourite student at your school and she is getting better and better by the day! A full Swan Lake, that's amazing!

[snowgirl1052]

Ha ha, Natilie Portman, this is the Black Swan pas; this is how you do it! Great job!

[odettekitri]

oh my god she's only eight and she's playing odette and odile!!! she's making history! ballet books in the future will talk about her. she will be unforgettable, like margot fonteyn or ekaterina maximova. please please pleaseee never stop dancing lada, you are SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[odettekitri]

i have no words to describe what i feel. i can't believe what i'm watching! i remember when i saw the frist lada's video a few years ago. she was only six and en pointe, she was so little and looked so amazing! i tought she'd be a great ballerina when she grows up, but i didn't imagine what i was going to see two years later. swan lake!! a VERY HARD challenge for every ballerinas in the world. there are some professionals who never will dance as well as this little girl (continue in next post)

[4willsey4]

wow! she is my new favourite dancer. if she can do that at 8 imagine what she could do in a few years. levitate?

[ickiepooo]

Lada is magnificent. Please tell her she has lots of American fans. I wonder if Pavlova was this good at age 8.
