[gitrdunnn]

watching this is helping me fix my knee pain in class. ive been lifting my hip and not siitting down but forward into my plies and none ever noticed!

[aroaldopimentel]

@gitrdunnn , hey did you mean, when you said " sitting down but foward into my plies"?

how do you think is the correct way to place your hips while doing a plie?

[hollyp275]

Mezentseva is my hero, and i love russian style ballet! Its my favourite

[88888Di88888]

This is a jewel! i adored this video!!!!!!

[AL45757]

Thanks so much for this video. It's fascinating and so exciting to see these people we've revered for years at work -- only makes one revere them more.

what is up with peoples grammar in these comment? haha it is not misunderstanded, it is misunderstood and what is bad minded supposed to mean? also why are people arguing about tights and whether people where them on the inside or outside? i mean it really is a very common thing for dancers to wear their tights on the outside for class or warm up. that was a pointless argument!

[theamazingsoter]

@AmateurExpertFilms Have in mind that a lot of the people who comment on rbv's videos are not from English-speaking countries, but we nevertheless try to make ourselves understood by writing in English even if we don't master the language. I'm sure you understood the person who wrote "misunderstanded" perfectly even though it was grammatically incorrect. By the way, you wrote "peoples grammar" and "these comment", which demonstrates your own grammar isn't great either.

thank you, there's always problems like that you know? maybe someone expresses his/her own opinion and someone can really get mad, but that's not my style, i prefer reasoning with people and showing the way i feel in a good way, there's no need for fights or anything and oufc29 just expressed himself and didn't wanted to be bad minded, that's why i just express my opinion in the best way.

any way, thank you for your comment, it was really nice from your part messaging me. happy new year btw.

[oufc29]

sorry but she should not be wearing white tights as you can see her thong leotard her tights are see throw

[p40531]

oufc29, well, i think that's the point. Well maybe you don't use it in your class or something like that, but it's very common to use first the leotard and then the thights, my class friends use to tell me it's easier to go to the toilette and more easier to change of tights between classes XD. I think she's pretty amazing and beautiful, Galina is such a nice dancer, difficult to find another like her btw.

[oufc29]

p40531 . sorry i wasnt being bad minded or anythink ok i wear a padded dancebelt support cup leotard and footed tights but i wear the tights over my leotard as i am a male ballet dancer and have never seen the women wear tights over the leotard they usealy wear the tights under the leotard

[p40531]

oufc29 sorry maybe my comment was misunderstanded too. Don't need to be sorry, yes I see your point, usually man are the ones that do that, but women do it also, not very commonly but they do it. Perhaps it's just a thing of taste and comfortability. I'd never use them like that I don't like it at all but many girls do use them. Anyway thanks for your answer and for your time.

[gothlolidoll]

wtf? she is not wearing a thong leotard, tard.

[toronstganymede]

... what are those holes for down by her ankles in her tights ? is that a live grand piano ? where are all the mirrors ? is that a morning class ? everyone looks grumpy - i bring my pet spaniel to class - he's a big hit ...

[raulishnikov]

Why is Farukh missing? btw. What happened to all those Ketinoa's videos? I just luv this kind of material.. Thank you..

[russianballetvideo]

Ruzimatov took Selyutsky class, not Semenov.

[palubob]

This remarkable video is also a wonderful gift to many of us out here.

[Bnesque]

Thank you, Ketinoa again & bachandbark.

And I 'm so sorry for the too young demise of Vitaly, wish this video can enlighten the grief of his syster.

Though my lament is almost nothing compared to hers, I feel much better because I can see the flawless, graceful foot work of Mezentseva THIS CLOSE!

[bachandbark]

Wonderful - and you are so kind. I hope that Bnesque feels a little bit better after watching this - and the sister of Vitaly. It is nice that also you have allowed us all to enjoy. Thank you!:)

[9415908]

This is amazing. Even in class, Mezentseva is wonderful to watch. Thank you for this.
