The Secrets of Russian Ballet Training: Class with Eric Conrad

[Tummas1992]

Noooo.. I'm on the weird part of Youtube again :(

[beredeveras]

an ordinary class

[dancingBlackOwl]

i had class with the Russian Ballet...and let me tell you it was hard as heck....

[millybells]

Very talented people and very sad to be underapreshated!

[Petitechouette36]

@millybells unappreciated

[7agplace7]

I prefer Balanchine technique over Vagonova..........

[rlion2005]

It's so sad & bad that most of people are making comments on YouTube withOUT a real knowledge and taste for the Art: Ballet, Music, etc.

Music is wonderful, kids are NOT Russian.

Just someone should post a different Head Line for his video ...

But the class itself looks Russian somehow ...

:-)

[rlion2005]

This is a Soviet time composer - E. DOGA (if I remember correctly)

Yes, the barre is kind of Russian method, but has NOTHING to do with the Russian dansers/students ...

Looks like somebody in USA is trying to teach & promote the Vaganaova method.

Hope it helps ....

[littlemusic4x]

the music is horrible.

[matissesoccer]

why's the kid such a freak?

[6apkata]

The russian secret is that they are russian,. :) not so hard ha?

[goodfeet101]

There was no secret. He needs to be in a class with boys who are better than him so he will work better there is only so much he can do in a class with girls maybe a summer workshop he also needs to learn other styles of ballet like if he wants to get in to company because there are only 2 in the us that are good that are Russian the rest are not in the us and he does not have a shot cause they are born dancing and are sickly amazing

[goodfeet101]

He is very tight and locked I can tell from that that the most of any kind of turn he has ever done was 2 or 3 if he was a little more Lose he could (maybe) do more i don't mean swinging or winding up just less tense

[tedsler]

Why is it the same 4 or 5 clips over and over again?

Music is great I agree!!!

As for the 'secret' - if you have a talented students, with the right physique and the right mindset and good teachers then you make great dancers. It has to come from the dancer as well to become great, without the will there is no joy, and no perfection. Commitment is A & O.

scary music

[majkagothika]

what's the name of the song ?



[annushka99]

@majkagothika The music is by a Moldovan composer Eugene Doga

[avatar1964]

Pffff. He doesn't have amazing turnout. He has amazing crank. his ankles are rolling, look how twisted his shoes are around his heal, and check out the direction of his knees in relation to his feet.

There is no 'secret.' Other than the fact that if you are dealing with superior facility in a dancer any well put together methodology will produce 'superior' dancers.

Just another scam to suck clients in.

[vanessarhythmic]

He has amazing turnout

Great Video... One thing. on the Audio for this video: make sure, on what ever program you use to edit these video's to check your Audio Levels. they sound like they are peaking WAY ABOVE -12DB. (hence the static sound you are hearing).

SO just make sure your levels are UNDER or AT -12DB

[kittycathappy]

i don't mean to be rude but he reminds me of Mr. Bean... sorry don't mean to be rude. forgive me!

[dancerpink07]

@kittycathappy I thought the same thing. Rowan Atkinson doing ballet.

[kittycathappy]

@dancerpink07 lol you thought so too! i wish i can see mr. bean do ballet ^.^

[balletstud5]

The Secret is Within...Cause I cannot for the life of me see it in this video..I've trained in Russia too..But, I've got the same exercises here in Canada, China and Japan. I don't think its a "secret" anymore!!!

[Ninjerina]

I'm not seeing what the "secret" part about this is. Looks like standard bar exercises. Nice music though what's the song.

[streetjazzdanza]

@Ninjerina the song is from a russian movie called "Moi laskoviy i nejni zver" the composer is Eugene Doga and the song is a Waltz

[zzapalovac]

This guy could be new Mr. Bean, has got a face for it :D

[CaptCape]

@zzapalovac lol ya

[tweetlebugzz]

@zzapalovac That is so funny! I thought the same thing before i read your comment LOL

[oshitnotagain]

@zzapalovac you are so right lol

[tabitha563]

once i saw a guy do on pointe and he was onl wearing blue tights!

[tezzy149]

I like the ominous Russian folk music, it was though if you didn't turn out, your family would be killed.
