Svetlana Zakharova Daria Pavlenko in Class Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet

[Ksanthipa]

Spasibo za video. kak velikolepno oni ispolnyayut vse uprazhneniya.,,. spasibo ogromnoe...

[TheHerothief]

what's with the description? being a first soloist is a very respected and hard to accheive position. and what's wrong about being in the corps?? if i were a professional ballerina anywhere, in any company, in any position, i would be offended by the use of the word corpse. not everyone can be a primma ballerina... if that were the case, there wouldn't be any companys, just one man/woman shows. ballet may have it's stars, watching a ballet it's about so much more than that!

[KiliniLove]

Who is sveltana an how old is she??

[MsEe17]

If you only knew how much they really work you would be amazed! Us dancers are told to make it look easy but people take advantage of that and insult us about it. " Ballet isn't a sport, it's easy!" ha in a million years! ballet is so beutiful and i am really luving this video1 :)

[EmmaLoves2Dance]

woow! that is soooo hard, and they just do it like it's nothing!

[2xklopwieisdaar]

I love Svetlana Zakharova but if you look at her grand battements (0:32) you can see that she is pushing her leg higher with her hips. my teacher told me she did that to and now she is teaching amateurs because she got injured. It's not good to do that. Never force your body to be flexible.

[bonnieb118]

I was wondering where Svetlana was ... and then I realized the one that's PERFECT is her :)

[jennyluvballet]

thank you so much for the amazing video & the intersting description!!!

[breannaisafreak]

such beautiful dancers!!

[Akonkagva]

Please spell the capital city without the article!



[iLoveeBallett123]

Have you noticed that her leg hit her hand at 0:38? her legsgo so high! she is so talented and best ballerina!

[wTheBeaTleSw]

@iLoveeBallett123 Lolol!! You're right!! i wish my leg could hit my hand!

[mariinskylover9]

HOW COULD SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS THIS IS THE BEST BALLET SCHOOL EVER!

[littlesheep11]

greeeeeeat dancers!!!! but how much should a dancer weigh (kilos) at the height of 169 cm? On a russian website they said 45 kilos, but that´s only 99 pounds??? isn´t that too less?

[misslollypopgirly]

Why are Russians so good at everything? especially dance.

[AZ16668]

Maravilhosa desde pequena !

[LifeResort]

OMG.. the girls in the class are all so pretty, yet Zakharova still stands out!!

is daria pavlenko the rightmost girl during the centre work? She is very pretty.

[downlala]

this is amazing

[TheSweetballerina]

I wonder how is feels to be in the same class with Zakharova

[arlena11]

c'est magnifique!!!

[NatashaADanceStar]

They are AMAZING!!!

[bowieballet393]

[mahailanahir]

[michalleby]

You know what I like about Bolshoi? that their girls are very thin and beautiful but they aren't all bones and skin.

[TheBallerinaStudio]

The best school in the all world..... from mexico....

[TheThegi]

[ddotblog]

Thank you for the video!

[chelsearayl]

How could anyone ever dislike this ? They are perfect!

[09Jerzy]

I love to see 'Baby" ballerina Svietlana in the class .God she is perfect ....

[jgh37]

Makhar Vaziev is the worst thing that could have ever happened to the Mariinsky. Loser as a dancer and as a person.

[awsed12]

i could be watching this forever...

[BaletAll]

She was simply wonderful!

[puppylove0808]

Svetlana is too good to be true. I mean, such a natural talent comes once in a century. Thank you SOOOOOO much for sharing this with us, russianballetvieo!

[jullyleandro]

[melgoza0721]

MOREE VIDEOSS PLEASEE!!! About sveltlanaaa in her ballet class

[melgoza0721]

MOREE VIDEOSS PLEASEE!!! About sveltlanaaa!!

[mosaiquedo]

Thank you, thank you, thank you a thousand times for this SUBLIME video ! Please, could you put more videos of Svetlana Zakharova was young? I did not quite understand what you tell others about the long video of 1 h. Why can not you put in fragments? Again, thank you, it's very nice to have people on the Net who share the treasures with Internet ...

[tutus4life]

Pavlenko looks...umm better now. I love Sveta's straight back

[LoveTheLeft]

Wonderful girls, but they never did leaps...

[louiselins]

Of course the girls are amazing but I really enjoy how effective and clever the exercises are!

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

why can you not upload the entire thing??? I'm sure everybody wants to see a lot more. :(

[magnumSuper]

@PolinaSemionovaFan What kind of question is that?! You can aquire the whole thing.

[jengirl2]

fantastic! that grand battement exercise...wow!

[EvanescenceROCKSS]

If you have any more footage of Zakahrova in class, please post it!!! I love seeing her in class.

[BaletAll]

I have no words...All 4 girls are absolutely perfect!But I dont likes this Vaganova leotards.

[russianballetvideo]

@BaletAll Those leotards were 15 years ago.

[GymnasticDancer]

Can you PLEASE post more of this class? You must have the whole thing, no? I want to see much more of 'baby' Svetlana... she's so perfect, even here! This was her graduating year or the year before graduation? Thank you so much for this video and your other incredible uploads.

[russianballetvideo]

@GymnasticDancer The whole class is one hour 8 minutes, but as I explained one other viewer, this will be all that is shown.

[GymnasticDancer]

@russianballetvideo Okay. Thank you again for uploading this fragment!

[MrKLT1945]

@russianballetvideo Ah, I'm SO sad no more will be shown, but thank you a zillion times for this anyway. How do we make you an offer you can't refuse, as the Mafia used to say, to make you change your mind? Is there really no chance of an updated version of the 1977 Children of Theatre Street? We all live in hope.......

[russianballetvideo]

@MrKLT1945 What do you mean by updated children of Theatre Street version? A 2012 version highlighting 3 different students from the 2012 students with the main focus on the leading girl from the 2012 graduating class? I personally think that should wait until 2014 when Ksenia Zhiganshina graduates since 2011 has already passed by & 2012 is not promising. 2013 would be mainly interesting to focus on Anastasia Zaklinskaya, daughter of Zaklinsky and Asylmuratova. Give me lots of money for new CoTS

[MrKLT1945]

@russianballetvideo Updated wrong choice of word! The moment I win the state lottery you will be first on my list of recipients! Agree that 2013/14 would be interesting to see offspring of Zalinsky & Alsylmuratova developing. In the meantime I will be content to watch this over and over........

[17energy]

@russianballetvideo actually there are a couple of girls from the 2012 class who are very promising indeed ! i know because i have seen them !!

[russianballetvideo]

@17energy I was not impressed by them, including your girl from UK, but maybe in June they will impress.

[17energy]

@russianballetvideo you obviously haven't seen their exams from this year !! she was absoulutely beautiful and came top in all her exams !! all the teachers rate her very highly , i don't think you know enough of her to judge !!

[russianballetvideo]

@17energy I have the final exam video and saw her at Mariinsky Theatre and Hermitage Theatre. Final year always makes a big difference. Some improve greatly and others don't progress..

[vaganovaballerina1]

She is absolutely gorgeous in every way! Is it possible to upload the whole class russianballetvideo?

[russianballetvideo]

@vaganovaballerina1 Possible, but the entire 1 hour 8 minute class will be limited to this video.

[balletgirl212]

LOVE THIS! thanks for posting!!!

[avesraggiana]

Oh, my…at 8 seconds, that transition from a high developpe a la seconde to an even higher attitude efface is about the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. How do they do it?!

[Toy1976]

You are impossible!

Always a new card hidden in your sleeve...

How do you do it?!?!

More, please?

;^)

[russianballetvideo]
