I love these videos, thank you so much! I want to see the Bolshoi so badly, hopefully I will visit someday. I take ballet too, and I love that you always show the boys classes as well, i've always been curious as to what they're up to :)

[bolshoiboy8]

[Sylvain545]

A l'Opéra de Paris, c'est la même tenue mais avec des chausettes blanches pour voir le travail du coup de pied

[AriaInTheSky]

Those boys are great! Keep up the fantastic work!

[crasigb]

Dear Ilya - Yes I found it - Thank you so much. I do miss the ones from Maryinski class - somehow they were removed. I just want you to know how lucky we are in the USA to have someone as brilliant as you who also shares the work with the rest of us. I wish that you are able to retire to the sunny caribbean someday!

Miliion thanks!

[ilyaballet]

@crasigb =)

I wish that too....

But, I did not remove any of Vaganova videos (i did hide some from our academy, but not from Vaganova)!

[crasigb]

Dear Ilya - would you be so kind as to post an entire Boys ballet barre? For those of us who are closet dancers these are just the most incredible gift in the world. Thank you

[ilyaballet]

@crasigb i did - vaganova boys - you can find it in my videos

[sunshine0shenanigans]

i noticed one dude bends his knees when going back to fifth, but other than that all these dudes are awesome!!!

[choirlady1976]

Wonderful Video, thanks so much for sharing, I can't wait to see the others! wow wish I could study under such great instruction!! Your students are going to become great dancers! I just love the Bolshoi, amazing!!

[cmrnickgo2002]

Guys, keep up the good work! I am so very proud of you!

Nick

[tubefree9999]

Beautiful video! Such incredible balance and poise in such young dancers.  They are truly athletes when it comes to dance!

[mikecharlieromeo]

wonderful students you are lucky and they must be too!

[akaasap13]

wonderful... just so great... thank you

[zanneish]

thank you for posting this video. i first watched this 2 days ago with my ten year old. he's now trying to do his tendu exercise v e r y s l o w. he's also noticed how pulled up the dancers are and the close up shots showed him how quiet the torso has to stay. just the visual he needed. thanks again

[bolshoiboy8]

VERY cool!

[tasha95ful]

sooooo good :)

[tasha95ful]

sooooo good :)

[Rusnia]

is tendu in slow motion?

i'm from liithuania and i'm taking ballet lessons for over 11 years now,but it's still curious for me,how lessons looks like in other countries.

[ilyaballet]

it is not slow motion - I teach tandu slow fast and very fast, but my favorite - v e r y slow =)

[Rusnia]

aaaa:}

my favorite is fast or very fast:}

andthe favorite excersise of all are grand battement and and the one,whenyou jumpin to the air and do scissors.i think it'scalled antralasee.orsomething like that x}}

[bolshoiboy8]

the thing is if you do it too fast... you forget to slide through the foot which is proper technique and that is why the bolshoi is the best in the world... because they care to follow proper technique...

[EwaMnacakanov]

It´s really beautiful vid...**

[brandonstylee311]

dammmnn.

[sevenedus]

У парней данные вроде есть. И даже какбудто выжимаются. Нет только огня в глазах. Как у Нуриева или Барышникова. Они делают и не плохо. Но все мучения нарисованны у них на лице. Надо научится их скрывать. Всем удачи ,:)

[PashaBallet]

всё будет=)

[hormigui88]

Oh I was so curious about this, thank you so much for opening the doors of your class. It was lovely.

[geegee789]

[bigposercroise]

Thank you. Funny music, monster under the bed! I used to practice battements tendu to Jimi Hendrix (years ago). I see great improvements, and it's nice to see them doing pas de deux in the other video. All of that class has great potential.

[premsoma]

are you the one showed at 1:13~1:15 ?

[balletkyle]

If you are their teacher you should be proud.

[TheRealKookie00]

Look at how perfect they are lol They're awesome

[balletomanehk]

Fantastic video... they are beautiful students with wonderful technique!

[danceyman]

absolutely wonderful, all the boys are so talented! please keep more videos coming!!

[dylade]

Amazing video. The editing is very specia too. Like someone here already said, you bring us images that are priceless.

I remember the english boy from your other video.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Keep the boy filming. He´s great!

Best wishes from Brazil,

Dylade

[veramentegina]

so good to have you aboard youtube Ilyaballet. You give us these inside glimpses, they are priceless, thank you so much.

[mashastepina]

))) nice

I like when they do rond de jambe exactly on that music

looks cool

[Nathalie2905]

They are very good! How did they get such fantastic turnout ?

xx

[avatar1964]

They were born with it, mostly.

[ilyaballet]

not really......

every second: "MORE!"

[avatar1964]

Don't we all demand that as teachers? But still, I've seen the recruitment vids and know dancers that have gone through it. We'd all love to have access to students with superior facility, it halves the work of the teacher. Your program allows you access to these types of dancers. Not meaning to pick a fight or anything. Just an observation.

[raulishnikov]

What grade it is?

[ilyaballet]

Thank You all.

If he is going to seat instead of working - i'll make him film....

[bolshoiboy8]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Im SO very excited... Bolshoi Ballet Academy has best male training program in the world. Did you study at Bolshoi Ballet Academy or Vaganova Ballet Academy?

[dudalovetendo]

Great class..

I wanna take that class!

[jazcutie567]

if this was "playing around" I'd love to see what he can do when he's seriously doing something like this! this was great!

[bolshoiboy8]

Awesome... THANKS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!! I LOVE THE BOLSHOI BALLET ACADEMY AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE MEN'S CLASSES. THIS IS SUCH RARE FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bolshoiboy8]

it would have been even cooler with normal class music... plz post more!!!!!

[ballerina714]

:) love your comment...
