Lada, 6 years old ballerina, scene on the skating-rink "Young figur-skater", "Snow Queen" ballet

[Dudagrillo]

@petrovasuper Ms. Petrova, how old was you when you started pointe?

[petrovasuper]

@Dudagrillo At 7

[97demiandselenafan]

She's really good , no one can deny this but isn't she too young to start pointes ? My teacher starts points at 11-12 , otherwise , your foot are not enough strong .. But still , you did a good work and you're extremely good :D

[MissKinomi]

Aw, I was just thinking "Even her falls are graceful!"

I'm glad she didn't actually fall. She's such a beautiful dancer, and she'll be amazing when she's older! (:

[sombrelumiere]

Those are the tiniest pointe shoes I've ever seen. She is so cute and talented. I love her tights!

[myheartrules99]

i love her tights and lada is an extrordanary dancer she can convery such emotion at such a young age, well done lada

[Lizlieisawesome]

Wow she is so good and cute. Her tights are adorable too :) but isn't she a little young to go en pointe? She's really good though

[FD02Ballet]

what age did lada start dancing?

[petrovasuper]

@FD02Ballet 4,5

[musound]

V3RY CUTE!

[Nawtiies]

Wow! do you do summer courses?

[petrovasuper]

@Nawtiies Yes, please write me petrovasuper@mail.ru , I will send you all information

[coolpup90]

nice i like it

[XAnooouuk]

Can you start on your school every age?

Or until 10 years old.

[petrovasuper]

@XAnooouuk Every age, if you are ready for points, if your legs are ready

[zedeesha1996]

She is a great dancer !

When i First Saw this i felt so sorry for this poor little girl as i actually thought she fell over :( .... but then i realised it was part of the routine ... she is a great actor!

woow she is really young to be on pointe though ???

[LaurenStar111]

Should she really be en pointe at 6? But good :)

[mariaesn]

She is great and all of you, haters, are jealousy.

[ellajaymass]

wow, im 11 and her ballet classes look twice as hard as mine!!!

[AmaranteNaga]

Wow! Lada's amazing! I'd like to know what the person is telling her though.

[dinosaursarerawraful]

shes en pointe. i swear i wanna know whats in russian ballerina food.

[petrovasuper]

@dinosaursarerawraful She eats everything, what eats every child

[pontepolentepontepi]

Marvellous :-)))

[dancedreampeace]

it is so wierd seeing a 6 year old on pointe because lots of girls don't even start until they are 6 but she is really good and plays the part very well!

[KalexCullen]

Oh c´mon! 6 years!?!?! Now I feel useless! xD lol

She is adorable and amazing and talented! She's gonna be a great ballerina!

[gioland71]

I can't believe people think she is falling for real! It is so plain that she is acting... But if she can fool so many, maybe she has a career as an actress as well ;-)

[MY6996]

@LuluLaBallerina i know its looks like shes really tired, but maybe it was part of the act? but the ending was strange

[dancelife450]

She is amazing.. pure, raw talent. I love lada. POst more!

[TheDanceJunkie]

She great. But 6. Isnt that a little young. How does she balance dance and school its a little hard for me for sure! Shes Amazing

[iceballerina88]

@TheDanceJunkie I was like these girls in my childhood, training ballet and gymnastics every day since the age of 5. yes we have to balance school and training, but it was very good for me, I was very happy and matured earlier than most of the girls, which I think is good! peace!

[petrovasuper]

Of course, it's a part of her role - small figure skater

[xxXBalletXDancer]

Woah! I have never seen a six year old in my entire life that disciplined. She is amazing! :)

[RmAl9382]

I can't imagine being that disciplined at age 6. I would be all over the place ;)

[BarbieGirlsPurple]

so where are the difference ?

[ilovefouettes]

SHES AWESOME

[ccdancer322]

she is obviously very talented! when did she start pointe work?

[OsipovaFan20]

are all russian students that good?? or is she just very very talented? and if so, what do you do about the rest, less talented ones? you can´t put them in one class....

[periodictable47]

I think anyone of any nationality who is as good as this child at this age is absolutely unusual, even accounting for superior Russian results. She is a standout!

[ocha1]

they don't get accepted, or else they drop out. I was shocked when I brought my daughter to the local ballet school (we live in the states now). there were completely unsuitable for ballet (in russian sense: overweight, big boned, short legged etc) kids practicing along with everybody else, like it's perfectly normal.

[degander]

Most people don't do ballet as a profession in the United States, rather as a hobby or for the poise and experience you gain.

[mimibubblekai]

she is good!!!!!!

[petrovasuper]

Thank you very much!)))

[billylover94]

how cute!!! 6 years old and you can see how serious she is

[sanfranpam]

Amazing - this is the girl who now has been doing 'Cupid' variation from Don Q. on 'Kuramshinballet' site?

[petrovasuper]

Yes, she is!)))

[sanfranpam]

She is enormously talented! People argue about when kids should go on pointe - but it all depends on their training, their muscular strength (inate and from training) and their use of correct muscles and tendons. Lada obviously has very, very good training and fantastic use of muscles - you can see she pulls up out of pointes so don't listen to anyone who says you are wrong. You are not wrong, you are brilliantly good teacher and the kid is a star!!!

[petrovasuper]

Thank you very much!

[balletkido]

wow....you train you're students VERY well!!!!

they all have superb technique and are beautiful to watch!!!

[anzdf]

Excelente.

[yumikosuou]

SHE IS SO CUTE AND AWESOME!:3

[onlenk]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thenamescaity]

wow!!! 6!?

thats amazing!!!

[petrovasuper]

Generally

[xjackybx]

i tought that it wasn't good to be on point before your feet and bones fully develop as much as they can..? i guess im wrong! shes amazing!

[marakisweety]

i agree with you...the last bone that fully develop in our body is the bone of our toes and fingers of our feet...that's why in the RAD BALLET SYSTEM we put pointe shoes on age 12-13....to avoid any future injury that will deprive us the beutiful ballet!!!! :):):):):):):):)

[petrovasuper]

You know, our Ksenia Zhiganshina started on points at 7, 1 year later than Lada Sartakova, who started at 6. And we see, that everything is absolutely ok with Ksenia's bones and fingers,and she is a very good ballerina now!

[marakisweety]

(i know...i have seen many videos of Ksenia Zhig. she is amazing...comgratulations)\\\\­---the problems can be appeared 10 years after...but you are a teacher and obviously you know more things than me....i just say it because one day I ask my ballet teacher why we(in the RAD system) put pointe shoes at the age of 13 and her answer was this that i am saying in my first comment...and now you tell me that it doesn't exsist....so the russian system of ballet is better than RAD????

[petrovasuper]

I think so!

[marakisweety]

sometimes i wish i have borned in russia...there is the hurt of ballet!!!

[petrovasuper]

But it's not so sweet country!))))))))))))))))

[marakisweety]

not sweet for the ballet or generally?

[petrovasuper]

Of course it's an act, it's a part of her role)))

[FanOfRudyLenners]

Oh.... for a moment I feared that she's really crying

[LifeResort]

there's time when she looks like falling down. Is it an act or did she really fall down?

[wwatone4]

she has an amazing amount of strength in her feet for her age. I hope she continues in her training.

and I LOVE her tights!

[xXDragYouDownXx]

holly shit she's soooo cute!

[passionedance]

ma scusate che cosa è successo alla bambina

[dancerchikkxoxo29]

omgoshhh wow shes so good for six!!!! but she shouldnt work on pointe TOO much or it will hurt her.. but shes def amazing.. and INCREDIBLE arabesque!

[rocluzo]

she is really good but why is she on pointe at six? i'm not even on pointe and i'm 12 and have been dancing since i was two!

[nanij16]

maybe because she's better than you!!

maybe because she works harder than you!!!!

Maybe because she listens in class and takes corrections!!

Instead of being jealous you should take her as a rolemodel!...

[balletgirl11]

omg nanij16 ... calm yourself down!!! Some teachers (ALL SHOULD) like to wait until their pupil is fully ready to go on pointe to avoid complications with technique. It looks like this girl will have many when she grows up.. ent legs, turnout issues etc. But that's the teachers choice!

[RainingSilence]

En pointe at a young age is normal in Russia.

Most of the russian ballerinas went en pointe at an early age like Lada. Ksenia (another student of this school) went en pointe at an early age and there's no problems obvious at 14.

As long as they don't do too much pointework it will be fine.

[balletbekah]

she has an amazing arabesque for being so young

[balletbekah]

she is going to be so good if she keeps dancing.

[balletkido]

wonderful!!!!!

[balletbekah]

also is this the same school ksensia and all the other amazing students are from? ballet school ru?

[petrovasuper]

Yes! This is the same school - Ballet school named after L.Jakobson from Sankt-Peterburg, Russia))) Ksenia and Polina are our students to.

[balletbekah]

what country do is this school in? i was thinking Russia, am I correct?

[dancingmonkeyabc]

Very talented, though I do suggest you help her with rolling through her feet. I don't think I saw her roll through her feet... She is very good, though I do strongly suggest that girl go en pointe at 12 years minimum.

[petrovasuper]

Lada started to learn professionally at our ballet school when she was 3 years old!

Now she is 6. So, she has strong enough legs for dance on point like this. She doesn't do anything unreal!!!

[indooojulia]

i think she's really talented!! and i'm sure that she'll become famous!! but i don't know whether it is healthy for her knees and her feet!! is she crying at the end or is it just part of the play??

sorry for my english

[petrovasuper]

Lada is in the role of a lettle skaiter, who just to start to learn on skaits - so, she is crying beacose it's a part of her role!)))

[brwnhoney]

ohh its part of her role and not because she was hurt? lol pheww iw as worried for a minute there

[trinigyalwiner]

So talented!!

:)

She will be a star!

[prodancer51295]

Wow... way too young to be on pointe, but still really good

[dance2dusk]

Is she ment to fall over ?

[bachsonata]

I was certain that I posted a comment here yesterday, but it never appeared at the time and I wondered if you now screen all comments before they appear? I didn't think that I said anything bad, but ??

[odettekitri]

when you post this video i posted a comment telling she was a poor girl. i said that because i thought she fell because her feet was weak, i didn't know that was part of the act. i'm sorry! now i think she is a really talented girl, i wish i could be as good as her! she will be amazing when she grows up =) could you post more videos of her???

sorry for my english!

[petrovasuper]

But she's only 6 !!! years old!)))))))))))

[tinkerbelledancer]

I noticed that she never once rolls through her feet to get up en pointe. She is talented though.

[DanceDaay]

OMG!!!!!! She is so talented!

[petrovasuper]

For everybody again.

In Amerika, in France ect. you can what you want, and to be on points in the age what you want.

BUT, the whole world to start skates at 3-4, the whole world to start gimnastiks at 3-4? and our progressive ballet school to start learning ballet at 4-6 - so girls, who start at 4 can be on points exectely at 6 years!

AND THAT'S WY RUSSIA WILL FORVARD OF WHOLE PLANET IN BALLET IN XXI!!!

[DanceDaay]

I agree, i started to dance last year and the teacher want to put me on pint in 5 months..

Sorry for my english i am argentinian

[petrovasuper]

For everyone!

WHO TOLD YOU THAT IT'S A POOR GIRL???!!!

WHO TOLD YOU THAT IT'S INPOSSIBLE TO DANCE ON POINTS IN THE AGE OF 6, IF SHE IS VERY TALANTED GIRL AND IF SHE CAN DO THAT???!!!

The legs of pupils of our Jakobson's ballet school are ABSOLUTELY normal! There is no problem whith everybody!

So, STOP TO WRITE NONSENSE - with this girl, Lada, everything will be OK!!! She will be a new ballet star soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nadyarush]

OOO!)))Super!)))))))))))))))))­

[ballet81895]

:O

She's only six and she's en pointe! Wow...

In America, we start pointe at the age of 10

[boontarka]

КАК ОНА ЭТО ДЕЛАЕТ? гениальный бэбик))
