i dont recall this ballet studio at the academy, and as long as i have been there, they NEVER allowed anyone to watch any class, especially take videos. plus, boys and girls are never combined in classes, and there is no class that only has one boy. there are many ballet schools in petersburg though, so i can tell why.

well, i have no hope to persuade you now but it is the Academy of Russian Ballet in the name of Vaganova but the point is (as I have already marked) that it's the preparatory class, the "zero" year. They don't always have enough boys to open a separate group for boys. So they exercise togther. It was so called "open lesson" for parents. They let parents to view lessons two times a year.

This lesson was in December at the end of the first term of "zero" year.

As about the video we (parents) always get such a possibility when we buy a disk by the professional photographer (it's pretty expensive though). Moreover last year they let us to take video with our own cameras.

One more point: as we didn't manage to enter the Academy this year we learned a lot about other ballet schools. There are just few of them unfortunately. We're learning at the Jakobson's ballet theater at the moment. I'll upload some videos from the new school later.
