The teacher drives a girl to tears while explaining how things work. It's a very hard work to really dance, but not to intend to dance.

The translation:
Teacher says:
We can see u in the mirror, your legs r in wrong position. Maybe u haven't slept enough?
or feeling badly? Is it ok, no temperature, r u sure? Then I'll talk to you in another manner, and demand from you as I must if u feel ok. U should do it at ur full power, when it's difficult, not pretending ur doing an exercise. You don't have any wings behind ur back that support u. U must urself turn all parts of ur body clearly realizing that. U got me? Show!
"No, Olya, I c ur not in the mood to perform that, as if u tell me i'll do it if u ask. Don't u want to work? - I want- Does ur body want or u? Maybe I'm forcing u? U r here to study, and I'm a teacher to teach u, but not to force u. If u dont want to do, dont do that, have a seat there, I'm not gonna tell anyone or put bad mark. Sometimes it happens when a pupil doesnt wish to work. -I want work- Ok. Ome more time then, with the music. Put ur left leg in front and dont suffer! ...
"...When a teacher gives u remarks that means she wants you to become better, she believes in you! And if u take offence and thinking ur workin well, then do as u want, i'm not gonna tell anything. D'u want this? -No- Turn ur head. I know it's hard, I'll praise u after the class. And now... one, two, ur heels are turned wrong. C'mon, let it run a bit more, yes! Now, land exactly to the 5th position! Bend ur legs... I've noticed yesterday u weren't in blossom. R u tired?...
"... The most useful time to work out is when u r tired, when it's really hard. Certainly, on Monday it's easy to exercise, today is Thursday, so u gotta try more. On Friday u must force urself, and on Saturday force urself thrice as much and go for weekend with clear conscience. I can c u all become tired on the 2nd part of the week, ur souls r tired. u r now aware it's difficult, well, maybe u give up? -No- No one promised an easy life here for u. It'll be even harder further, think about it...
"It's easy to think it's easy to be a ballerina, but as soon as u try it urself - it's hard. Let those difficulties go through u, to become better! U must dance the same way u breath. Wanna cry? -Yes- Ur small, but ur tasks r hard. Dont u cry please, u r not the first one who cries...

  • This teacher went on and on for over 6 mins! That is embarrassing for this poor child. No wonder she was upset. Enough is enough. The more she talked the more upset the child was getting. After 2 minutes the teacher should have moved on.

  • @lsdr1 she couldnt help it. Ballet is a very disciplined form of dance, and it really requires a strong body and will.

  • I love how supportive her friends are at the end <3

  • wth? what is she crying about? Im hoping she got frutrated because she couldnt get a step or something... because the teacher is being totally nice

  • @dinha210262 Who? the teacher? :D kidding

    

  • I want translation!

  • I don´t believe that terror is the right way to help young children!!

  • I know inside, she's definitely not smiling, I'm a ballet dancer and my teacher doesn't tolerate mistakes. I've definitely made mistakes and their were times where i found myself on the urge of crying, but then there's this flame in me to stay strong and do better. Her teacher is a great teacher which her students will be great too. Ballet is a tough sport.

  • dancing should be fun, but this teacher has made it hell for this poor girl!

  • @hopelesslyinlovedu It also shows that the young girl, and her instructor, are also human beings.  Even with her tears, she kept her composure really well. I also think the teacher deserves a ton of credit here, too. In my opinion, she was giving a life lesson that may give that girl a boost of encouragement she may need. However, she also recognized that the girl is someone who loves to dance, and was probably crying because she's struggling with the passion that she loves.
