  • These kids have a lot of pressure on their shoulders. Ballet is hard enough without coming from the greatest ballet school and country on the planet. These girls wear the costumes of princesses and fairies, but they are tough on the inside. They have to be. Congratulations, Vaganova Academy graduating class of 2011.

  • So apparently Kristina Shapran didn't join the Mariinsky Ballet! Any idea where she is now?

  • She's very pretty and has great lines. My only pet peeve is her turnout in the developpe. I've been noticing more and more girls are sacrificing turnout to achieve greater extension, but creates this bowed in distortion (2:35). Its especially critical in pieces like this where you're going to see all sides of the ballerina.

  • @Biologicalgoth Shapran went to the Stanislavsky in Moscow.

  • @Bnesque Thanks ..so beautiful !

  • @mrlopez2681 Agree!

  • the Mariinsky should save certain repertory for the company only

  • What a beautiful face does Smirnova have!

  • Thank you for posting

  • that was a perfect Shades entrance, she nailed that beautiful Nikiya pose at the end of the pas - awesome! And her lines and control during the adagio - one of the best!
