Actually, these kids are hand picked for their natural abilities. My own granddaughter, age 4, who does not study serious ballet, just creative movement and preschool gymnastics, can do, not as nicely, must of what they do. She can lift her leg, with no assistance, high over her head, and is amazingly strong. It's that type of child that is accepted into their program. They are better treated than most of the kids in the world.
No starving child could have the strength required to do such exercises many hours a day. They are slender but strong. And believe me, they have good muscles !
@kjcq11 These are young children, admitted to the academy in part due to their naturally slender body types. 4 meals are served at the Vaganova each day according to their own website. These girls are not starving.
