You're amazing :-) Thank you for translating.

Ok what bothers me is that those little boys' legs are like 4 times smaller than mine and probably stronger too. Ugh. Whatev. Lol.

Translation 4 (Igor Uksusnikov)

I have been taking care of this class for only two months. It is a preparatory class, from which we select students. Those who are not capable of going further either repeat the year, or leave or are even put under examination. In this case, all depends upon the direction. Everything is decided at the end of the year

I can't believe that teacher is 73.  Ballet is truly the fountain of youth

Translation 0 :-) (Kyril and Igor's mother)

It took some time to convince them to do ballet. They did not want to. They wanted to study English, mathematics or even play basketball, but absolutely not ballet. Finally, they thought about it, they became a bit more mature and they eventually accepted to dance. They may have finally liked it.

Translation 1 (Kyril and Igor)

In classical ballet, everything is connected to music. It is most important. All is about music and when one dances, he puts his own soul within it. It is very interesting. When you have started to love it, you cannot live without it.

Translation 2 (Igor Uksusnikov)

In advanced classes, we teach them to express feelings through gesture. It is the same for a painter who uses colours in his work. He composes a painting with red, white or green. We do the same. But instead of colours, we use movement.

[hermiane]

Translation 3 (Igor Uksusnikov)

I will show you something. Look at me! The "frappe" is an energetic movement. With this simple gesture, I can picture the ruthless Iago. With this very movement, I become Iago. You also have soft gestures, such as the "fondu". It is very slow and I can express Romeo's love to Juliet. So when a movement is in harmony with music, there comes the illusion. All our work is about connecting perfect movement to music. We try to reach perfection. We never manage to...
