[TatyWaldorf]

[Lauriefishbone]

I wish I am so good! They seriously have things like passports to get inside the academy?

That's weird...

[TheAtaylor543]

Are they not allowed to wear street shoes inside the academy?

[thesunshine261]

[ladyinpeace]

[TheBigf350]

i cant belive they make those little boys wear that attire....i mean its one thing to show a line through fitted clothing but one of the little boys looked like he was wearing a thong...

[Caocao8888]

I've looked at this beautiful video at least a dozen times, and I never noticed what offended you so much.

I think your comment says more about you than the dancers' attire.Perhaps you need a purgative.

[Caocao8888]

Ilya, what a beautiful video! I wish that more people would appreciate this tImeless and aristocratic movement and the hard work and discipline that go into making it look so easy.

[GawkyBallerina]

What year are the younger students at the end in? I was guessing about 3rd year?

[filmergeek]

this is awesome man, i get a lot of shit at school from doing ballet but i dont care. I love how you put the ghetto rap with the ballet, makes it that more awesome

[bolshoiboy8]

me too! theyre all gonna end up working full time at walmart anyway...

[kabaiivansko]

Wonderful school. I love the exercise of Grand Battement.

[1psoas9]

Please, post more whole classes. Not just the cute stuff -- your boys have the MOST beautiful backs! Straight, strong, supple, and beautifully placed. How do you teach that? I watch their pirouettes just looking at their waists and ribs -- beautiful! Simplicity is so hard to achieve.

[indymoffats]

I love the juxaposition of the Beatles and rap music with the ballet!  Your students are inspiring. Thank you for your post! Наилучшие пожелания

[T9007]

I agree!! Yes thanks for posting!

[sawasdee123]

Wish the class did not have rap music behind it !!

[duhitsjuliet]

gaaah I want to go here so badly but I'm not good enough D:

[Forados]

What a noble person you are Ilya! I would have never seen what there's inside the most famous Russian dance academy but for you. Thank you so much. Spectators can only see light movements and smiles of dancers when they go to a ballet performance, however they don't see what's behind the scenes and what efforts it takes to polish up all those movements and smiles. Thank you once again Ilya for sharing your talents with us, both dancing and videoediting.

[raulishnikov]

loved the little blond boyat the end he is such an artist already...

[marikoTokyo]

Thank you for your fun editing!!

[doktorfuture]

I love the variety in your videos. Pretty awesome.

[HBASHS]

I think student ID-cards.

[jessgwyn22]

what are those passes that they're showing?

[lol4eva96]

lol im also on a school like this, but its more on modern dance than on ballet.

i admire classical ballet dancers at this high level because they are so gracefull and its pretty hard to learn to be so good.

but ya i like modern a lil more :P
