[marisolita97]

[clairebearn1]

AMAZING!! and only 7th grade....im entering 7th grade and nowhere near as good!

[TheMuddy208]

@clairebearn1 they are not in 7th grade, they are 17 years old

[MrKLT1945]

Wish some ppl would read and comprehend before posting dumb stuff to me! Where do I say I 'hate' (stupid thing to say) Vaganova students?! I'm devoted to ballet and adore the Russian style & training. Retired from English company now but if I had my time again I would train in the Russian method, not British, and teach that style. I repeat, these students are (were) still in training and therefore allowed to be less than perfect - that's why they are students, they're still learning! 

[gsgumbyboy]

That looks like Natalia Osipova front and center

[MrsYotavril]

@gsgumbyboy she;s at the bolshoi's!:)

[yaymeIamanut]

the girl in the center at 1:25 is so graceful!

[9bubblestars]

yeah,right.if they are in 7th grade,i'm a prima ballerina!

lame class.i can't see why it was even uploaded.they need loooots of work.

[RussianBalletFan22]

@9bubblestars all right show us how it´s done...

[AriaInTheSky]

@9bubblestars If you're a prima ballerina, then I'm the Queen! Give me a break. If you're so bloody brilliant at this art, then do it yourself and compare!

[MrKLT1945]

@AriaInThe Well said! Pehaps the prima ballerina could tell us which major international ballet company she is with (and WHEN she was awarded that status) so we can watch out for her when she is on tour. The company is bound to feature her, being their star dancer and one of the VERY FEW PRIMA BALLERINAS ON THE PLANET! Actually there must be vids on YT we can catch her on? Of course she could just be a wannabe amateur with no idea of professional training. We'll see.

[AriaInTheSky]

@MrKLT1945 Well said, yourself! haha I wonder if there are any videos at all!

[Banapoly]

@MrKLT1945 wow your really mean on youtube! Dont call this girl out because she claims shes good! you shouldnt need proof. How are we supposed to know that you're not a wannabe amauteur??? For all we know you could be!!!!!! Chill Out......

[9bubblestars]

@AriaInTheSky I can't understand why I'm not allowed to dislike this video.Maybe I put it harshly,but I'm not obligated to like it.I've done 12 years of classical ballet & I've danced at the National Ballet Theater of my country for 2 years.Due to physical problems I had to stop.However,I'll always adore ballet and therefore,have high expectations from 7th graders,especially from Vaganova Ballet Company.And please stop mentioning the prima ballerina stuff.It was just an expression.The end.

[MrKLT1945]

@9bubblestars No such thing as the Vaganova Ballet Company, it's the Vaganova Academy. Feeds into the Mariinsky (Kirov) Company, if they R very lucky not 2 B rejected at the end of each year. They R still not the finished article! Unlike the West, they R not chasing bloody bits of RAD/ISTD exams (even in the RBS) which R given away like sweets & make girls believe they can go on 2 a career. How many BRITISH-BORN & TRAINED PR. BALLERINAS R IN THE RB? ZERO, they R all foreigners - better trained!

[MrKLT1945]

@9bubblestars P.s I danced at Covent Garden for more than 2 years (!) but never good enough artistically to be more than a corphyee. At no time in my live would I ever have dreamed of describing myself as prima ballerina. I could never be that arrogant to use it as a casual description of myself to others. I also play the piano but would never describe myself as a concert pianist either! Definitely the end!

[justin12359]

@MrKLT1945 STOP BEING A HATER THEY PROLY BETTER THAN U ARE IN DANCE GOD HATEN DNT LOOK GUD ON U

[Zuzzi97]

[mosaiquedo]

@ruslana4949 Sonate pathétique Beethoven. II. Adagio.

[IllAlwaysDance]

The girl third from the left has a tiny waist! I'm so jealous!

[NinjaTree6]

i can't tell, are they en pointe or just demi pointe?

[MissJoanaxD]

it's hard you know...

wish i to have so much control in my legs.. and i've been practising ballet since my 2yrs old

[Sadistwam]

Their outfit is so beautiful.

[JennyW410]

amazing balance!

[loveeballet152]

sooo much control!!!!!!

[leokendiva]

amaaazing... how old are they?

[SushiNom]

@leokendiva

Add 9/10 to the grade. Which means these girls are about 16/17.

[applelemonhead3345]

i can play that on piano :D:D

[QaQei]

Ballet is beautiful.!!

I love ballet

[filmfelineadmin]

in comparison with the Chinese dancers here= apples and oranges

[simplymarisaa]

This music is also used in the Cecchetti method of ballet as one of the set adages.

[wendyverdades]

I want to teach this level. I do I do

[LiveLifeBallet96]

When do they learn the combinations!!! they seem to know with out them being shown!

[tutus4life]

@LiveLifeBallet96 the teacher tells them in the proper terminology

[duvessagirl]

i wish i could dance like that =(

[clairmatinaustralia]

some serious wobbling going on there!

[lpkidd17]

talk about wicked fricken skinny. but there was some wind up in those inside piroettes and that girl kinda lost her balance. but hey, they're way taller and better than i am. and a year younger, no less.

[ninavagabunda]

envious of their perfect turnout and gorgeous port de bras....ahhh if only genetics and fate had blessed me :(

[prn4ustat]

@ninavagabunda oh yes, i agree with you!! same here!!!

[Hardmetal1993]

@ninavagabunda Some have it easier than other, but regardless NOONE gets it handed to them nomatter how giftet you are, it's all down to you to work on your weakness', and we ALL have different weakness'

[alineigena]

I just don't understand why the camera cut off their feet and capture the hole room at the end. I wish i could see the entire body.

By the way, nice dancers!

[Anidancer5683]

he he i remember when i was young like them. I much more advanced then them but what they are doing is very difficult stuff for there age. Bravo girls.

[brwnhoney]

This does look difficult, but even when some of the girls lost their balance or w.e they carried on, i think thats good, when i get things wrong i just stop or i get mad with myself or emotional loll. Its all about carrying on, which i find soo hard to do!

[kurtamus1]

This is VERY difficult stuff!

[effinkiller424]

The young lady on the far right end lost so much height when she crossed over to derrière ):

[meunique2]

beautiful. I wish that I could dance ballet too. I absolutely love it. I'm a bit challenged right now but I'm determind to get there.

[Amy92x]

jep RAD I've danced this, too ;) it's RAD

[onehotdancer18]

what level is this??? I'm training in the vaganova technique, but not at the actual academy, and we do it by levels NOT by grade. ive never heard of vaganova by grade... maybe grades and levels are the same thing..?

[ggggtgtg]

Yeah its the same. In my school we do "ballet 5" , "ballet six" etc. So they're in seventh grade which would be equivilant to level 7 in your case or ballet 7 in mine.

[lollie87]

where have i heard that song before......sumone please tell me the name of it.....

[prn4ustat]

i have that feeling too...RAD? maybe lol. that's the only place i can think off, because i'm sure i've danced to it.

[lollie87]

lol i wouldnt know....i dont do ballet.....just nice to watch....i think i know where ive heard it lol....i work in childcare and i think its a song played in the baby nursery when they are sleeping......maybe.....

[prn4ustat]

haha, that's a high possibility that its used as a lullaby lol..if it hits me i'll let you know!! :-D

[lollie87]

lol ok kool :)

[vaganovaballerina1]

its beethoven's pathetique movement 2

[PnutButterGurl]

Wow this reminds me of the excercises mr. slava gave us in level 4 (grade 4- I'm in a vaganova school too)! We couldn't do the stuff at all but he had us try and it was so good for us, looking back :)

[elladorablack]

my teacher is varganova trained - shes in her 60s and still looks like that!!

[mille3611]

omg!! that was so good, i want 2 do that

[dani0lovs0bruno0]

7th graders looks a tad more fatter then the 6thgraders.. yet again the 6th graders look like walking skeletons

[mewmew429]

Wow....that looks really hard...

[lilanza]

wooah.. great strength!! amazing :)

[NinjaTree6]

omg i was given the exact same combination to the same music... im all vagonava trained, i think my teacher went here, her name is Irina Lebedeva

[rumpleTeazer126]

HEYY I HAVE A QUESTION:

Is there adagio center in grade 6 (Intermediate Foundation)?

[balletgirl5396]

[Bamarina06]

These girls are beautiful, and the combination is ridiculously hard!

[Bretchops]

[HelenaNever]

[CelidaB]

[Little2see]

haha ok dats impossible 4 me at the moment!!!

[cutemoma012]

:48 the girl in the back...her leg is amazing!

[gotraceygo]

hmm.. the adagio looked very similar to one in grade VII cecchetti.

[neptunelogic]

*shrug* possibly--cecchetti did work with the imperial ballet back in the day.

[maisumnomundo]

very good just think it should show her feet more and show less walls.

[abderakhman]

adagio means slow in italian...it s from the musical language....like allegro,presto,agitato...adagi­o is calm....

also this music is a traditional adagio..from beethoven...moonlight should be;-)))

[ilovepointe]

wut does adagio mean?

[ilyaballet]

ballet - 7 years in ballet school

[Keydogirl87]

I thought so, they did a good job.

[ballet12154]

is this 7th grade school, or just 7th grade ballet?
