It is the lead of the teacher to teach that inspires the desire in the student to achieve what was thought not achieveable in poise and grace through total commitment of the heart and mind and the magnificence of ballet. With a healthy body, age should not limit you.
Also, at 1:18 to 1:20 the teacher looks so happy, almost congratulating a student, to me, that is so beautiful! A teacher who still sees potential, and feels pride in a student´s achievement... even if she is and adult, late starter ballerina....
Great stuff. I remember learning the Swan Lake pas de quartre, the four swans. It's true that the girl on the end, at least one end, is always pulling. hahhahah I like to see the lovely alignment of the heads and arms beautifully expressed. I am retired now, but it's still in my body. My body just can't do it anymore. hhahah Thanks!
You are an inspiration to all, at the age of 64 I did not believe it possible but with the right teacher and the total commitment and healthy attitude and body I did not believe what I have what was possible. In our class, ranging from the age of 22 to 72, it was watching your classes that has helped me achieve what I have achived . It is never to late to learn grace, poise and the magnifience of ballet.
@ricscott10 It is lovely to read this! I agree! Thank you, Ilya, for your wonderful inspiration and I keep saying to myself I must find a ballet class again - so in the New Year I WILL! :-)
