I totally add a little stretch here and there during company class too. A little goes a long way before a day of rehearsals.

@kmodancer I think it can be done both ways, depending on what the ballet mistress sets for the exercise. Also bear in mind that this was a company class prior to a rehearsal. Sometimes professional ballet dancers take liberties with the exercise to achieve their own aims, to get an extra stretch, to loosen a joint, to warm up a body part - anything. Ballet teachers accept this at the professional level but would never condone it in classes for students in training.

@Petitechouette36 It looks like she has enough strength. She could hold her leg up there. PLUS she is in the Kirov Ballet. Wouldn't that be enough to know she is a strong dancer?

Fragile strength ^^ I love watching their legs!

I want that turnout and extensions. Than I'm happy. I suck

J'adore la discipline et la volonté de ces gens.

All I can say is beautiful video the 2 females in the middle have good control and strength.They have nice lines and everything.

Thank you for your suggestion! I viewed several RG videos and as you say, the artists are fantastic. Russians (in my humble opinion) always stand out - ballet, gymnastics, figure skating - because of their distinctive upper body training - head, epaulement, back. No other training in the world produces these consistently exceptional artists. Particularly impressive in this clip are the transitions through ecarte; maintaining those elegant lines requires almost super-human strength.
