I love to see content comparing the different ballet schools, but I often find people overlook the cuban school, which also has its own flavour and nuances. Coming from a coutry that hugely adopts the cuban training due to similar body types, I'd love to see more people become aware of it as it can be quite different from other schools
I loved this! Can't wait for the next video. Russian ballerinas are so beautiful, elegant, expressive and supple, but what I've noticed from watching a lot of videos, especially recent ones, is that their footwork especially in faster, sharper steps, isn't always as strong and accurate as for example French ballerinas. Or maybe it even has to do with the demands for them to be so very thin that they don't have enough muscles to do those movements.
My favorite method and my favorite ballet dancers. No one else can reach their levels. And I would like to mention Natalia Osipova, to me she is simply pure perfection.
Zakharova spent 7 formative years at Mariinsky after graduating from Vaganova, where her coach was the great Moiseyeva and where she became a Prima. After 7 years she moved to the Bolshoi.
This explains a lot of stuff I've seen but haven't quite been able to put my finger on! I danced ballet recreationally for a long time, and now I see why my Vaganova-trained teachers put much more of an emphasis on the back, shoulders, and neck in their class combinations than my American-trained teachers. I learned something today!
Лучшие русские балерины хороши и в адажио, и в аллегро. И в дуэтах, и в вариациях. В этом плане совершенно прекрасна во всех отношениях Диана Вишнёва, имеющая огромный репертуар.

I try to have a preference. In the end, I prefer the one I’m watching.
I know what you mean ❤

You are right. The Russian school just doesn’t pay as much attention to speed and fine footwork, so this is its weak point
This is a great observation, fast footwork was never what they were known for.
My favorite method, BY FAR. And my favorite ballerinas.
Those three are the brightest stars of not only the Russian but also the world ballet.

I really should have specified about this or said “the bulk” of her career thanks for the note!
I loved ballet since I was six years old. Thank you for the video, the Russian style is my favorite.💕🙏
As a layperson watching ballet videos, I think Lopatkina’s dancing is so beautiful and exactly what I imagine when the term ballet comes up.
Your highly informative videos have rekindled the passion I harbor for the ballet
As a Russian, I'm so proud that you posted a video about the russian school
Well we can’t really get into ballet without discussing it can we? ❤

Yay!
Лучше поздно, чем никогда! Но лучше - в молодости.
I do not understand it completely, but I love watching the ballerina's hand movements, they are magical, so graceful, like a ribbon moving in water.
Absolutely loved this video. Can't wait for the next one
Thank you! ❤
I was trained in the Vaganova Method ( my teacher defected in the 1960s from Russia) with the emphasis on the French!
Her name?
This is fascinating! Can’t wait for the next installment!
Awesome that makes me so happy to hear!

I missed the splendid Maya Plisétskaya, as her style was wonderfully Russian and yet unique. Or Makarova, anotther example of ballet at its best.
They are quite wonderful ❤
I love these. Thank you Ms. Dragoni ❤😊
Thank you you are so welcome ❤
I know nothing of ballet. This is super informative. TFS
Thanks for watching
Excellent description! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
How did i not see this? I love this ❤❤❤
I'm glad you found it! The Russian School has so much depth and beauty to explore.
Are you going to explore the house choreographers, too?
Is the next video out yet?
Yes!
I have a question. When is The World ballet day 2024?
They've decided not to do it this year
@fzhang718 oh I got it.
@@fzhang718 What!?!
Ну дело в том, что весь классический балет создан в русском стиле, поэтому он главный.
Нет.
