What is the music at the start of the video ?

[dcergrl]

They put water on the floor to prevent from slipping. And people/children would want this training because they have a strong drive to dance.

[Sectumsemprist]

Why did they put water on the floor?

[Verdredi]

Around 7:55, isn't her foot supposed to be behind her knee?

[MissKissKissGurl]

@Verdredi no

[HauntedBunny]

@Verdredi It depends, since they use the Russian way of dancing, the foot is in front of the knee.

[1MartheV]

@Verdredi You can place your foot either derrière (behind the knee), passé (around the knee) or devant (in front of the knee). In this piece they use the devant-version. I'm not english/american so excuse me if i don't know the english terms. These are the french and original terms.

[Verdredi]

@1MartheV Does that mean that one is not any less or more correct than the other?

[1MartheV]

@Verdredi They are all equally correct.

[tutus4life]

@Verdredi no it is a fouette where you beat the foot behind then comes to the front in the turn.

[sunspirt]

That takes some major dedication. But seems well worth it none the less :)
