YAGP-Paris 2012. Second place (Lada, teachers - T.Petrova, V. Kuramshin)

[SmashLovesU]

HOW DID SHE GET SECOND! she is seven and AMAZING

[polya97]

Thank you for letting all of us watch your students through these videos. You are an amazing teacher!

How often and how many hours a day do they have ballet classes?

[Kuramshinballet]

@polya97 Thank you very much for your so good words! Our students studying 2-4 hours 6 days per week (exept holydays)

[jogosgames2010]

despite her very childish presence (absolutely normal, of course, she's a little kid) she already has a professional posture.... she holds the positions very well and is very expressive. All I have to say is russian dancers put the americans in shame. Of course we have some pretty talented ones here as well, but our training lacks a lot of things.

And her outfit is very lovely!!!!

[bEsTfRieNdzZ94]

I love the grand jete in the beginning! so light and beautiful!

[Tiburonian]

I wish that I could have seen the 1st place winner-, shame that it is not possible to compare- Lada has a lot of talent, she has good teachers with highly professional backgrounds and they will make her progress as far as her talent will take her. I am sure that she should win 1st place at next compatition. I know of other students in that competition who think she was admirable!

We should see more of Lada and the other students!

[0maeje0]

At 1:20 I was just thinking; wow, is she ever going to stop spinning?! That was INCREDIBLE! Honestly, what other 9 year old can actually do that, while also demonstrating that much control? How she didn't end up getting first place is truly beyond me, and a crime in the ballet world! She's simply amazing :)

[Smadamee]

Didn't Joy Womack win?

[Mayu94n]

OMG, I love this so much !!! Seriously, I keep on replying it over and over again because Lada is so amazing! This variation is very hard but Lada is dancing so wonderful and adorable.

Congratulation on winning second place! Still, I think she definitely deserved the first place. Seems like the jury couldn´t recognize REAL talent -_-

Anyway, please keep Lada participaing in competitions because I want all the world to know her.

[hyperFashion101]

CRAP!!! that was soo good, could you imagine here in 1 or 2 years?????

[IchbinPaulina]

Okay, that was amazing

[TheSparkleSparkle]

@kuramshinballet @petrovasuper could you please answer some of my questions: Do the students in your school use toe pads? What is the recommended weight for a fourteen year old? Do you have any tips on how to strengthen weak ankles? And by the way, Lada is stunning.

[periodictable47]

Congratulations! She grows in artistry as well as technique at a really astounding rate.

[iceballerina88]

of course we'd love to see her in first place, but second is not bad.... what I mean is she will be a STAR in the future... so beautiful and talented.... bless her and her teachers.... :))

[jovidancefreak]

wow! what category did she placed 2nd in?

[cursive700]

im gonaa go to yagp!!! hope to see u

[Beam261]

She has amazing Osipova-style jumps!

[meyerkar000]

She was one fouette behind, in the end. But I can't do that... She was really good.

[tucchico]

Platel has to be jealous.Lada whipped thru those fouettes like they were nothing. Perhaps envy at such great talent in one so young is a problem for her as a judge. But that does not change the fact that Lada is a force to be admired. I can't wait to see her in other competition videos. The audience loved her thats for sure. She was right on the music all thru it and she loves her audience. She plays to them refreshing to see in a dancer so young. Fantastic job both teachers and Lada

[111Nikki222]

such a joy to watch :) beautiful

[RainbowPrincesss]

I love her grand jeté:)

[tucchico]

You do know you have an international SENSATION with Lada. Her star is just starting to shine and your work with her is amazing. I think that you Petrova and Kuramshin will soon experience many new dancers wanting to dance in your studio. Good luck and great dancing.

[fallyas]

amazing little lada!

[Tiburonian]

I keep watching this video!! Lada 'otlichno' She is truly the performer and has cute face - all good. I am captivated by her (maybe a magic spell??!!!) You have exciting pupil!!

[TeoKaiHui]

I dont think I will be able to do this in like 20 years.....I am 12 now.......Maybe I camn but not the fouette part, hahaha

[punkviolin1]

I don't get it....she's the most amazing young dancer I've ever seen! Who won then?

[BonjourBurrito]

Ahh!!! She's so much better now, from the time she did this variation when she was six. It's a pleasure to watch her dance. THANK YOU, to her wonderful teachers for helping her blossom into the most beautiful flower. ;3

[ToThePointeWebshow]

WOW! :)

[dfc5359]

ohhh im just as good as her!!! and im...16...

keep dancing your amazing!!

[ArtisticAsian1014]

I swear everytime another clip of Lada is posted she improves 100% more

[AriaInTheSky]

I do believe Joy Womack won. She's so talented and a pleasant person to talk to. She's so nice! Congratulations to Lada for achieving 2nd place!

[theball3rina]

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.... :O

Words can't describe this video

[XxBexx123]

Wow Lada has improved so much! How did she not win??

[Tiburonian]

That was a really beautiful performance - Platel just jealous .

[myheartrules99]

wow this is in incredible, and an amazing achievment for her, in my opinion she should have won first i can see nothing wrong with this at all. Congratuations to Lada and her teachers she WILL make an astonishing ballerina once she grows, she is one already

[HauntedMusicBox2]

Lada is amazing!

[primaballerina38]

How did she not win? That was incredible for a nine year old

[Kuramshinballet]

@primaballerina38 We can tell "thank you" to E. Platel that Lada didn't win

[DanseDanza]

@Kuramshinballet What did E.Platel says?

[Kuramshinballet]

@DanseDanza Platel didn't score Lada's Clown variation from Swan Lake

[theamazingsoter]

@Kuramshinballet Platel didn't score her variation? You mean that she refused to evaluate her performance or that she gave Lada a score that you consider unfair?

[Kuramshinballet]

@theamazingsoter No score, ampty list was from her

[DanseDanza]

@Kuramshinballet Oo... strange! I didn't know that a judge couldn't make score ...

[MiLoveCats]

@Kuramshinballet I can't believe she didn't win! Platel must be jealous! Did the romanian girl do fouettes? You rock LADA!!! what grishko pointe shoes does she wear? thank you!

[cursive700]

@primaballerina38 she did

[cursive700]

@primaballerina38 she did win 2nd place

[Kuramshinballet]

@cursive700 Yes, but - Lada was better then the girl who was first, obviously

[cursive700]

@Kuramshinballet well how old was the other girl and i need to so her dance to determine that

[akidogirl]
