It took some time to convince them to do ballet. They did not want to. They wanted to study English, mathematics or even play basketball, but absolutely not ballet. Finally, they thought about it, they became a bit more mature and they eventually accepted to dance. They may have finally liked it.
In classical ballet, everything is connected to music. It is most important. All is about music and when one dances, he puts his own soul within it. It is very interesting. When you have started to love it, you cannot live without it.
In advanced classes, we teach them to express feelings through gesture. It is the same for a painter who uses colours in his work. He composes a painting with red, white or green. We do the same. But instead of colours, we use movement.
I will show you something. Look at me! The "frappe" is an energetic movement. With this simple gesture, I can picture the ruthless Iago. With this very movement, I become Iago. You also have soft gestures, such as the "fondu". It is very slow and I can express Romeo's love to Juliet. So when a movement is in harmony with music, there comes the illusion. All our work is about connecting perfect movement to music. We try to reach perfection. We never manage to...
I have been taking care of this class for only two months. It is a preparatory class, from which we select students. Those who are not capable of going further either repeat the year, or leave or are even put under examination. In this case, all depends upon the direction. Everything is decided at the end of the year
They are children who are in rather poor health. I have explained it to her mother: "I am very happy with your sons, they will go far, but the whole problem is about their health. They are always ill." I don't know what is going to happen. But I believe in them, very fondly.
In fact, parents must choose their children's future. They decide on what they are going to do later. Usually, kids do this when they are around 18. They have already finished high school and are conscious enough of their future work. But, to become a dancer, you must choose at 10. You are too young to know what you want to do, even though you already love ballet.
I have been teaching here for 30 years. I was a member of the Theatre Marinski. I was a first dancer and I started to teach there.
"You could retire, I believe, though you don't. Why?"
You know, I often think of racers. They do run fast or slowly, well or badly. Still, when you ask them why they do so, they will answer you they need to.
For us, it's quite the same. It's indispensable in order to live. As soon as you stop dancing or moving, you surely die. It's not only about desire to share knowledge. It's all about life. For me, it is life, it's my life.
In 1763, by order of Catherine II, a school for young people was founded in Moscow. Ballet lessons started in 1773. We have found the list of the first students who graduated in 1779. They were thirty-tree people and they had been following lessons taught by Professor Paradis (?). The true history of Moscow State Academy of Choreography started then.
I can't believe that teacher is 73. Ballet is truly the fountain of youth

You're amazing :-) Thank you for translating.
Ok what bothers me is that those little boys' legs are like 4 times smaller than mine and probably stronger too. Ugh. Whatev. Lol.
