[BabySaloma]

Why they cut off her words?

[enlightenmeonly]

what kind of floor is that?

[GotThaFunk227]

What brand is that tutu? I want one!!

[enpointe2024]

beautiful technique but try not to fall out and *shlep out of the moves when you're finished it becomes a terrible habit and hard to break.

[nevroth]

@enpointe2024 hahaha, are you really giving DIANA VISHNEVA tips? that's so sweet!! *pats head* :3

[XxMelinaxMallisaxX]

Ugh! I want her white tutu! lol :)

[sarahgoesrawwrr]

i met her in person last summer.she seemed really nice.:]

[XxBallerina4ChristxX]

I love her!! But it looks like there is something wrong with her right foot?? Sometimes it looks like she cant balance on it for very long and it kind of turns in sometimes....

[raniitalandiia]

wow is perfect.. i love this video

[SlovakBallerina]

I ♥ her !!! She´s sooo amazing!! ..And I ♥ the classroom too! :D (sorry for my english xD )

[manga12]

I liked her in the firebird role I saw on arts tv on satillight they have lots of clips of differant performances, she is very quick on her feet, shows how great dancers the russians are, in the past and even today.

[IndiaHicks1]

Yeah I'm liking that type of flooring.I need that.Does anybody know what type it is?lol

[NoPlaceLikeLost]

@IndiaHicks1 it's a real wood floor. Splinters and all lol. They use water bottles to wet the floor so that they don't slip. At least that's what we did when I was there. I'm pretty sure it's still like that?

[746hirydutu]

レッスンする場所羨ましい。

[TeftG]

i want that floor in my room!

[Balletdancer980]

@TeftG , i totally understand...

[LittleMissRachelLee]

[Balletxlove]

she is such a beautiful dancer! i hope i can be half as good as her when i am older! <3

[AnnaCullen122]

Does anyone know where I can get a tutu like the one she is wearing at 0:48? I've been looking all over for it and I keep finding ones that are attached to a full costume, if you know what I mean. I just need the white tutu only. Thanks

And Diana, you are a great artist, dancer and a great inspiration. Everyday I strive to be half the dancer you are. You have a wonderful gift and I want to thank you for sharing it with the world!

[cheesecheesegreen]

@AnnaCullen122 at my dance school we have a ton of them, they are called practice tutus and im pretty sure discount dance sells them, hope that helped!

[AnnaCullen122]

ok... thanks so much!  I'll go take a look at the website right now. Thanks again!

[cheesecheesegreen]

so, i just checkd the website to make sure they still have them and they have Sansha adult rehearsal tutu's which i hope is what your looking for=)

[GLAMbalerina12]

[JohnneyCoolguy]

That's how a dancer should be :)

dancing ballet is such a wonderful thing

[IzzWizz14eva]

She is beautiful! What is the third (3rd) variation she does??? It looks familiar but I just can't think of which one it is! :)

[spiderpinaise]

it's Odette

[IzzWizz14eva]

Oh! Thanx!!! Heehee!

[hnbballerina]

No, the 3rd is Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)!

[writer13426]

What ballet is the character Kitori from? What is the second variation, and the 3rd one?

[astghikaguero]

the second variation is from Giselle, and the third from Sleeping Beauty ('Aurora's Entrance' I think).

And it's not kitori but Kitri, from Don Quixote :]

[lawzzzzzie]

its kitri!

[207lalala]

what is the name of the first variation she does?

[damai82]

kitri)))):

[progres007]

yeas she is in the Vaganova ballet school

[xXxReflectingGod]

what a beautiful studio, im a rhythmic gymnast, but that studio would be great for stretching and lines of leaps

[snowgirl1052]

Love the beautiful piano music also; wish I could play all those beautiful variations!

[kaitibobaitiii]

what's the variation at 1:06 ?

[pinkipink45]

[kaitibobaitiii]

[pinkipink45]

your welcome :) yes i can: it's Aurora's variation from Sleeping Beauty

[kaitibobaitiii]

best help ever ! thank you so much <3

[Laingebeba]

wow!!!

[cbprima01]

Isn't she in the vaganova academy school?

[JacquelyneWilkerson]

Maybe I'm just spoilt - but I would go nuts having to dance on floor boards like that!!!!!

[mistercleopatra]

arrgh i have to

it good though that the floor is so noisy, I've learned to be silent when landing

[sarahwatts08]

It's too bad the Imperial Russian method is becoming extinct! She is above and beyond any American trained ballet dancer!:)

[amgirlvicki]

stunning.

doesn't this make you want to go dance at that exact studio?

[mistercleopatra]

That exact studio makes me wanna dance at that exact studio lol ;p

[zazzza1]

she is so cute! I am sure all this video was filmed when shes was a student at Vaganova school,because the studio is from there-from Vaganova academy! she is adorable!

[Roccarocks]

She has an adorable sense of humor! She looks like she's immensly enjoying herself and just having fun.

Isn't that why we all dance?

[scgalhjl]

@Roccarocks i totally agree

[gracecase321]

This video makes me realize why i love ballet so much.

:]

[shadowfluid]

Holy shit. Her Giselle variation...she's totally feeling it...too bad it's soo short

[vzal11]

theres some sleeping beausty in there too before odette... i love her tho.. i think shes inspiring..she doesnt have the same incredibly pointed feet and hyper extended legs that most of the russian dancers have... i mean obviously they're good just not like zakharovas or somehting yet shes amazing.. just goes to show body isnt everything :)

[Sacto1654]

Of course, no ballerina I know of could do the "Odette Variation" from Act II of Swan Lake by stopping for a split second with one knee WAY up in the air before fully extending her legs like Ulyana Lopatkina does (you can see it on the DVD release of Swan Lake from 2007). Vishneva's dancing style is actually more suited for more modern ballets, in my opinion.

[kdub10009]

I like that she can dance a lot faster than most Russian-trained dancers (as many critics have noted)

[dancingwithoutwords]

Such a fantastic video. She es so kind and nice. Everything she does looks easy, even she is able to sing the melody while dancing, have you ever tried that? Also is not the same the rehearsal that dancing on stage, please have merci with the greatest dancers

[lexinw5]

what she is so much beter you must be blinde if you dont see that!yeah i went there

[prn4ustat]

she's fantastic!

[balletfreak329]

She looks like her feet are always bothering her.

[quintajoya]

God still create perfection...I am in love with her after I saw her dancing in NYC. Is she single?

[marisha74]

She was married to Farukh Ruzimatov, but now she is single

[skylaru]

wow,really?I didn´t know that,are you sure?

[marisha74]

I have heard of that from different people in St Petersburg. They used to have a long term relationship - this is for sure. But i dont know if they were oficcialy married.

[kentuckyhellfire]

She is just so amazing

[welovetodance55555]

[akkaly3]
