She didn' ask about her kid, she asked about her partner: "Uliana, where is that boy from?" Uliana: "He is ours, from our Theatre, very young, first year...."

@hikari6986 she's telling her to hold her shoulders traight. Also she asked about her kid. and stuff about how she's holding her arm

@hikari6986 i don't speak russian, but just judging by the looks of it, it seems kurgapkina is telling her to bring her arm all the way up (as opposed to being bent near her rib cage) before she does the double rond de jambe en l'air into her developee

what is her teacher saying to her??? 

[snowgirl1052]

She is my favorite dancer right now and it is because she has the most beautiful arms and upper body movements.

Amazing. Beautiful. So pure and magical. I love that there are no subtitles, no interviews, no nothing. Just dance itself. Nothing cliched, nothing that average society associates with dance. Just pure movement and beauty. Whoever made this exquisite jewel of film, I give them applauase.
