Great constructions of combo's I saw what I call the "Triangle of Dance" that is: Position; Experience; Rhythm - each of those elements must be part of any study of ballet. Position- Pose et al,head, etc EXPERIENCE: Performed long enough for the dancer's body to experience the position, and RHYTHM: This is of course the music but we also have to consider the rhythm of the body, that is, the heart, breathing etc. Many piano players play uneven rhythm-this one good. Dancer needs to predict tempo.
Wow! I wonder how hard it is to turn en pointe on those wooden floors... They're all very good for their age. They definitely have things to work on, but so does every dancer.
@aridancer14 wooden floors are good, once you get over your fear of a wooden floor, a marley floor is like nothing! You can trust that there is nothing slippery about that wooden floor as it needs rosin constantly which results in you using the floor much more in your training. Due to the resistance of the wood and rosin you learn how much force to take for a turn so when you get on a marley floor, you don't need to use as much energy.
wow! im 12 and en pointe but they r way better than me! tho im pretty good i gotta say! ^^ lol but they have such beautiful technique! where is this studio at?
@12dancerella ... in russia.... and russians are ALWAYS better than americans or anybody else but where they push them so hard at a young age their career doesnt last as long as it should, therefor, when you get to a professional level it all evens out
The Vaganova Academy is the school that feeds the Maryinsky/Kirov Ballet Company. It is named after Aggripina Vaganova, a famous Russian ballet teacher in the 1930s who devised and codified a method of ballet training that became the standard training syllabus throughout all the former Soviet Union. So "Vaganova" Academy can refer to the school itself or "Vaganova technique" can refer to a particular method of ballet training that can now be found pretty much anywhere in the world.
this particular video is from the Vaganova academy in Saint Petersburg, the same building Agripina Vaganova started to work. So it is very interesting being able to see in the Old Vaganova academy the continuating teaching method and how it changes, to what grade it is changed, or stays the same through the years. So interesting :-)
We (for the most part) are no where near as clean, percise, accutate, daring, and expressive. Especailly in our classrooms and at that age. I have always veiwed the Voganova style supiorer. As an older dancer I wish that I could have taken when I was young. I am 22 and still "training" but I fear that I will never get there. Do you have any advice for an older dancer tring to pursue her dream?
If they go en pointe at 14, then how is it possible that there are pictures and videos of them en pointe at 10/11 and it's impossible to learn so much en pointe in one year and reach such perfection. It takes strength which they developed at a young age.
Not a strength that they develop at 6. In fact, kids that age don't even take a regular ballet class. They don't start real ballet until at 8. The youngest a dancer can go on pointe is 10, and that is ONLY if they've been dancing for a while. The instructor would have to agree to it, too. So no, if someone were to go on pointe at 14, they would not have videos of them on pointe at 11. But a lot of dancers, probably including the dancers in this video were on pointe at 10/11. But not younger.
I don´t think you are well informed. Actually they put them en pointe in the first year. That means 10-11 years old. You can check ilyaballet´s first year ballet class in his channel.
Second: No teacher in their right mind would put a 6 year old on pointe. Most instructors wait until the child is 11 or 12. Before that, the bones are just too soft.
Is it just me, or do the girls seem to be sitting too long in plie in the pirouettes en dedans? I was always taught that the plie is the impetus for the turn and the longer you sit in it, the less impetus you have. It just seems to have a 'down' feeling to the turn.

they are not robots! The classroom is the place to work on technique not performance. This ballet school has produced and still does produce some of the greatest dancers in the world!
Why does one group do the right and one do the left?

Are the exams filmed every year and if so, why is it done? I'm just wondering because there seem to be a lot of videos of Vaganova exams.
As a side note, I love that last piece of music from Raymonda, I've never heard the piano version before but it's lovely :-)
