[Ballerinchen1000]

I'm 11 to and i'm on pointe but why are they all so thin !?

[BlakesPOWERChannel]

why are they wearing socks?

[lelleballerina]

anoressics!

[frau4bzna]

@lelleballerina they are not anorexic! they have beautiful muscles and form.

[MsFreakinHilarious]

@lelleballerina They do ballet like 4 hours a day... and they get feed like nothing. Not by choice, but yah they do look kinda scrawny.

[7agplace7]

I trained in the Vagonova technique for 2 years, but then switched to a different studio that is Balanchine technique.

[Nf9456]

well this makes me hate myself :/ haha so gorgeous!

[balletmaddie]

Theses girls are amazing ;0 well they have a bright future of ballet :) x

[palubob]

To Dumchenko's immediate left in the 2nd half of this clip is Alexandra Iosifidi, now a 6' 2nd Soloist at the Mariinsky. She too was impressive here.

[vamaloveballet]

@palubob

Thank you for writing about Alexandra Iosifidi.

I’m happy to know the girl is Alexandra.

[Bwwbe]

Yes they are skinny, i think the problem was the food!They get enough food, but in the food, i think, there was missin enough vitamines...look under the eyes!

Food is very important, they have to drink more green smoothies ;)

[danzzeshorty]

oh my gosh their turnout is truly amazing!!! wow!

[caitlinpires]

these girls are very talented...i recently graduted from my dance school and we had an instructor that had graduated from a prestigious ballet school in russia and she was very strict which is probably why they r not smiling lol... plus you must be very concentrated on the mechanics of how ur muscles are working to perform ballet

[caitlinpires]

these girls are very talented dancers.. i recently graduated from my dance school and we had a ballet instructor who had graduated from a very prestigious ballet school in russia and she was very strict which is probably why they r not smiling lol... plus you must be very concentrated when dancing ballet it takes concentration of the mechanics of your muscles for each move

[iluvmyfriendsxoxo]

how old are these girls?

[andreapau111]

this school scards me

[Cherilynn100]

These girls are excellent for their age. Those floors are so bad, its making their ballet slippers so dirty. I know they changed the floors since.

Also where are the mirrors? I dont see any.

[missmem12332]

im 12 years old and i do ballet at vestry school of dance but i do not look dat skinny and also our ballet clases are not dat strict. they all look bored

[MelodiaSeira]

@missmem12332

No, their all very serious about dancing, when you do something, you can't smile all the time! Their just very concentrated.

[avesraggiana]

@missmem12332 and work at being THAT skinny.

[jolietpiaf]

BELLAS TODAS.......:)

[akidogirl]

r they controlled in a strict diet? O.o they're awfully skinny!

[russianballetdvd]

Back then, no. Now, yes.

[oreopie090]

@russianballetdvd what type of diet are they on? just being curious here :)

[missmem12332]

@akidogirl

innit though

and why was dat girl puttin water on the floor

[avesraggiana]

@missmem12332 To make the floor less slippery. Rosin for the floor was not as readily available in Russia then, as it is now.

[MelodiaSeira]

@akidogirl

Their probably not allowed to eat any sugar! If I cut out all sugar from my diet, I would cry all day! Haha!

[Ballet4Everz]

@akidogirl they mold them to have perfect little ballet bodies, so, yes, and extreme daily exercise doing ballet

[superkiwi1000]

@akidogirl definitely not at this age!!!!!! Why does everyone think ballerinas are all forced on diets? Its rather annying. Ballerinas burn off most of what they eat they just eat stuff like chicken fruits and veggies.

They just dont eat steak, sugary drinks(which includes most juices), or sugary foods.

Its not like their starved, if they were starved they wouldn't have energy to dance WELL.

They are sometimes pressured to go on diets if they are over weight it's so they can dance more easily.

[SophieNeveudancer]

@akidogirl about the diet, it is concerning, yes, but at the same time, they are ballet dancers but they are like athletes actually, all that excersice, even if they ate like pigs they would be skinny. But yes...with such a demanding activity, they should have special diets, or it could be terribly dangerous

[SofiaWhite]

Wow, they're so little and they already dance so perfectly! It's amazing (:

[kkk234luvtheboats]

watching these girls' pointe class brings back so many memories of begining pointe!

[pointeskatecybunny]

How old are these girls?

[russianballetdvd]

11 and 12

[Fuzooky]

I would do anything to go there!

[magalimadeleine]

This is the Ketinoa video that has been removed by YouTube!!! Great to this it or part of it again!

[russianballetdvd]

Over one hour of that one class is shown so any Vaganova fans can see over one hour of class., plus also over 20 minutes of a graduation class.

[9415908]

These are wonderful! I love to watch ballerinas when they were younger. She is very talented and look at the beautiful ballerina she has become! thank you very much!

[russianballetdvd]

You are welcome.
