the slowness is for strength building. If you watch carefully you will see their knees are still elastic. Anyone who sees the Kirov or Bolshoi corps girls jump won't dare criticize the way they were trained.

Thanks so much for posting these. They are wonderful videos.

Is this from an exam, or a regular class?

OMG I recognize every single one of these songs that they dance to because I dance to them in my dance class too! (Except they play them faster at my studio.)haaha. I'm also 13 which is probably roughly the age these girls are. And I have teachers who trained at the Bolshoi academy.

Who was the teacher at THAT class?? Would love to see that video!
-
I do wish there were more videos to compare. Thanks for the comment, rlion. So do you think these girls are moving too slowly for proper developement?

Too bad, you couldn't see other girls, exactly the same year (we call it in Russia "Parallel Class") Among them: Svetlana Zakharova (Ballet Star), Veronika Part (ABT Principal), Daria Pavlenko (Kirov-Mariinsky Principal) !!!

This is the most UNgifted class at the Vaganova Ballet Academy ever!
Unfortunately, ms. Gortchakova posted herself here, and couldn't say anything else about the Academy in general as she was expelled!
Seriously, ALL girls classes at the Vaganova have great turn out, extentsions, feet! But not in this class! No wonder that NOBODY from this class became a soloist/principal anywhere! And most of this girls were expelled out from the Vaganova right after this year and later on !!!
