Class as class should be! Logical , musical (no 3/4 at the barre, just 6/8 for adagio!), with clear short exercises to get all parts of the body and the technique prepared! Simply wonderful and very inspiring to look at!!
It sure is a treat to watch the Mariinsky! Victoria is truly an amazing artist even in these exercises. Oksana Skorik is going to be legendary one day, she is so gorgeous to see in class, her cambre back in the plies was insane.
It's a system applied to bodies that have been selected for specific criteria. Sometimes it leads to a mannered way of dancing, since, like all systems, it's not perfect.
I think they do certain exercises lying on the floor for good turnout, strength, flexibility. They don't just show them steps and throw them out in the middle of the floor with no technique or strength like most crappy ballet teachers do. They always have good technique so by the time they're in the middle of the floor they aren't floundering and picking up bad habits. There are some good utube videos on this but you have to look. What I've seen hasn't been in English so I just watch what they're doing.
Thanks so much to the Telegraph, the Mariinsky and its artists, and to whomever else made it possible to watch this here. Interesting to see such a straightforward, relatively simple class, and to hear Mr. Fateyev's explanations about things. They work so efficiently, and get so much into a relatively short class. Great to be able to watch!
MsSlucyna He does have a very forceful, loud voice, which I've read is common in Russian ballet teachers these days, though I don't know, personally. But he's very clear, and he and the dancers are so on the same page, very little time is taken for explanation or demonstration~like they all use the same shorthand, and power on through.
***** Thanks donnamila. I didn't get any kind of negative vibe from him. In fact, the opposite; I really enjoyed the way he and the company members worked together. I think it's a plus for a dance teacher to have a commanding kind of voice, however they use it. One of my favorite teachers years ago (he is till teaching, I think) was Finis Jhung. He had a relatively quiet way of speaking, but very clear. He was the first ballet teacher I ever saw (and I haven't seen many since) to use a microphone while teaching class, which was a great idea. He also had a platform built in one corner of his studio, so he could climb up there and see the students from above (he didn't spend the whole class there, but would go back and forth). He was (and probably still is) a very innovative teacher. I love great dance teachers!
Thank you so much for putting this video back on TH-cam! I've missed immensely it! I used it for 2 years for a daily barre. Their placement and technique is so informative.
Most exquisite art : classical ballet. The Russian soul and spirit is an innate master of this great accomplishment of the human pursuit for beauty and perfection. The Bolshoi, Mariisky, Kirov and so on and so forth are the temples of the dance.

+Hannah Trostle Uh no. Not age six. Pre ballet until around age 9 or 10. around age eleven is year one. Its an eight year curriculum. there are some independent teachers doing that, and successfully. But, usually the children and physically destroyed by their teens. Its a stupid idea. I've seen idiots do this in every method. There are hacks in ever country. BTW: this is not a strict Vaganova class. It is warm up class before rehearsal and performance
I know. Don't get your yumiko in a bunchxD I'm in preprofessional training at a Russian based school and was just making a joke about some rec. studios. I know SAB is hard. I was not ready to speed up my petite allegro like that.
2:47 Wow look how that ballet teacher is giving all the ballet dancers attention and It looks like he's in a hurry maybe because he has to get one of his ballet dancers into rehearsals in a couple of seconds.
I'd be scared to be in this instructor's class. He sounds like a drill instructor but in the end he's probably got the best technique. I like the piano - good for tempo.
Yep. =) Mr. Petrov is usually use very booming and peppy voice. However his intonation does not sound like he is strict or angry. Just cheery and upbeat. It's funny how he always address the dancers "druzya moi" in a very loud rolling thunder voice manner (literally translates as "friends of mine") every routine he asks them to do. I heard on some ballet forums what dancers usually joke about Petrov: his wakeup/warmup class in the morning is better than coffee. So they secretly calling him "Mr. Coffee" behind his back. :)
Additionally, Petrov has been a personal trainer of Xander Parish for the last few years. I read interview where Xander is speaking greatly about Petrov. Quote (according my memory): he is just always "davai davai" (literal translation: common common"). Besides, people in UK can see how better Xander become. (well, may be "not better", because it's not fair to compare different schools and techniques, but Xander definitely became different in terms of his hand-head-torso coordination. Xander still has has good foot and step, but added some really good those famous "singing hands" of Vaganova. Not to the point what he can use it any time any day blindfolded in any choreography, but only in the choreography from Mariinsky repertoire. But I see Xander might be very very good pretty soon. 2 years or so, certainly with more exprience and more ballets under his belt. Mariinsky clearly gives him a decent stage time and almost always takes him on tour with them. And they tour a lot, and always go to all famous big theaters world wide. I almost suspect that Fateyev took him in as an experiment of his own, to see what happen if he introduce to western school ballet (great footwork) some Russian "singing hands" and perfecrionlistic fineese. Fateyev clearly stated he liked that Xander has very great work ethics. That might means he took Xander in to try to mold Royal Ballet student into universal dancer who "has feet and hands". You can see on this video Xander, it's easy to recognize him by his good jump technicue, hehe.
как мешает смотреть и слушать музыку и указания хореографа постоянное сопровождение обьяснений того, что происходит в классе!!! отдельно можно было дать эти обьяснения перед классом!!
Today the dancers can wear whatever they want during rehersals. I just wonder what their predecessors wore in class during the Soviet era, when their company was known as Kirov Ballet, another wonderful ensemble, second only to Bolshoi in the world of classical ballet.
Seeing as there are photos and some videos of classes and they're all wearing leos, tights, and legwarmers, I'm going to assume they were allowed to wear what they wanted as well... And the Kirov most definitely was not second to the Bolshoi.
+Павел Мягких А давайте мы начнем ценить то, что есть. Материал взят с сайта The Telegraph в том виде, в котором он там был. Там нет плейера высокого разрешения. Если вас не устраивает качество, ищите то, которое вас устроит.
MALE DANCERS HAVE AWESOME SKILLS TO ACHIEVE WHATEVER COMES TO THEIR MINDS. MALE DANCERS CAN PLAY ANY SPORT; BOXING, BASKETBALL, SOCCER, TRACK, NFL FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, WRESTLING, MARTIAL ARTS, AND MORE. AS LONG AS MALE DANCERS KEEP A POSITIVE MIND, THEY CAN CONQUER THEIR FEARS, DOUBTS, ANXIETIES, AND NEGATIVITIES. WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T LISTEN TO LIES OR NEGATIVITIES, IT WILL BRING DOWN YOUR SELF-ESTEEM AND CAUSE HEALTH ISSUES DOWN THE LINE. MALE DANCERS MUST ENCOURAGE AND EMBRACE EACH OTHER LIKE A FAMILY OR TEAM. THEY ARE PHYSICALLY STRONG TO LIFT UP A WOMAN OR THROW A FOOTBALL/BASEBALL OVER 75 MPH. MALE DANCERS CAN PERFORM GREAT IN THE OLYMPICS, ACTING, DANCE CONTESTS, AND MORE.
+Big Red thank you. he's in the corps de ballet? he'll surely be a solist in any other ballet theatre... the quality of Mariinsky is so high! and they really can jump so high!! I should probably work on my plie more ;-)
She's there, she's wearing all black and has black athletic pants on. Her hair is in a bun, and she's in the second group for center combinations. During the adagio they talk about how flexible she is with a closeup on her.
Except for the fact that she IS there, front row in second group for center. They also expressly talk about the lovely Oksana. If you're determined to spread unnecessary hate about a very beautiful ballerina, don't lie about it.
The contrast between Fateyev's soft English-speaking voice and the energetic soldier-like teacher is kinda creepy. In every grade, of any method or company in the world, barre work is merely the warmup routine for the actual dance training.
зачем столько болтовни?хочется музыку послушать,класс сделать вместе.Неужели в бегущую строку нельзя инфу запустить?Такое впечатление,что делают для себя,а не для народа
А что все возмущаются? Видео сделано НЕ для русских, а для англоговорящих. Им непонятно, что объясняет учитель, логично, что за камерой комментаруют происходящее НА английском.
Did you really need to add a whole hour of utterly nonsensical commentary ?! "There seems to be a lot about balance"... really ? That's the best you could come up with ? and that she's flexible ? I mean most if not ALL people watching this are dancers and you'd watch this to check our their routines and perhaps learn a few new things, so trying to comment this class as if it were some football match is simply ridiculous ! and on top of it to have someone who clearly doesn't know the first thing about ballet, because at least football commentators actually know football .
Господи, как музыкально скучно, ну, 21-й век, неужели нельзя послушать, как в мире играют?Не всегда импровизация хорошо, если вся "музыка" крутится вокруг четырёх ступеней.Иногда открываешь, думаешь, может, музыкально новым идеям научишься у лучшей в мире труппы а потом понимаешь, что это их надо учить. Гармонически-никак, ну, ронд де жамб ещё ничего, а до этого- очень скучно, .пардон! Это же не школа, а труппа, здесь можно и нужно играть посвободнее, задавать настроение артистам перед тяжёлым днём. А то одни поливания вокруг арпеджио.
+klausious I think you might be misreading their body language. This is morning company ballet class. They’re on tour, they’re in unfamiliar surroundings, and they’re a few time zones away from their home, and their bodies aren’t at 100%. They probably did a show the night before, and here they are, at it again less than twelve hours later, at morning company class, with yet another show coming up in the evening. The ongoing exhaustion any company dancer feels day-to-day is unique to the ballet profession, and is unimaginable to any outsider. It’s a tough, gruelling, and short career. And every bone in your body hurts almost all of the time. I also have to tell you, that ballet dancers wouldn’t be doing what they do with such dedication if they didn’t love their art so much, if ballet wasn’t everything to them. Because it has to be, for them to succeed. Another thing, and this might be a cultural difference - we Americans smile a lot, a lot more often than Europeans. Europeans don’t tend to break into smiles all that readily. Russians even less so.
Then again, if you have been on the road (on tour), for months, flying all over the friggin world year after year, working to keep you technique together, you might not look so happy either. Likely, they are delighted to be dancing....but, like anyone in their position, they're just friggin' tired!
It's not like they are dancing or anything. It's just their warmup class to stay in shape. They doing it 350-355 times a year it's hard to get excited every day. It's just work, company usually just routinely rotate teachers and ask them to switch routines according to their strategy plan (if upcoming performances has a lot of jumping or such, teachers include more deep plies and other specific dance excersises, or if upcoming performances needs more endurance or elegance, teachers usually asked to develop or focus more on those aspects). Besides it's useful to switch and shuffle dance exercises from week to week, so dancers won't get used to the same day-to-day monotonous routine. As I said this particular class is nothing than just warmup, before this some dancers usually having some stretching and small wakeup excersises in other class, and after that goes to thus warmup class, and only after that they go ahead to their choreographers and teachers to learn new dance/choreography or to rehearse before performance on stage (usually 3-4 hours before the show).
Why, on the contrary I find this teaching style motivating, probably because I am used to it. I wouldn't want to take a silent class though, comments - both personal corrections and impersonally directed make me work harder.
that is basically what I was talking about, I am used to this loud teaching style and it fits me well, it's all about the personal preferences... I am used to teachers being constantly like "we hooooold the leg hiiiigh" "push the leg fast" "and ooone and two" "try to survive and turnout more" only it is in my language. class without this would seem dull to me actually
The pitch and voice of the ballet master is UNSUFFERABLE. I wonder how such an unpleasant person can be given a class in such a company. So uninspiring. It gives me the creeps. It only works for the frappes.
Maybe because youre not familiar with the language and culture.... But he is just being neutral and very professional.... Hes doing his job.... Greatly, btw
It seems to be the Russian style. For the best looking dancers, gentler instructors and bloody sight better pianists than this tedious bore at the keyboard, look at the Royal Ballet classes - particularly the 2018 World Ballet Day company class.
I have a ballerina friend, quite a beautiful, well known dancer, who had to stop her career. When she went (?) 'en point' and would spin on one toe, she would release violent farts, even heard over the orchestra. She would be in tears, but the public would be hysterically laughing. So sad and awful for her.
Their style seems so clear, so even, so thorough, so on, yet not rushed.
Class as class should be! Logical , musical (no 3/4 at the barre, just 6/8 for adagio!), with clear short exercises to get all parts of the body and the technique prepared! Simply wonderful and very inspiring to look at!!
No 3/4 ? What do you use for ronds, 4/4 ?
This is my favorite ballet company! They are real professional dancers. Absolutely beautiful! Bravo!
Unfortunately, the Bolshoi Theater has lost its position, but I think that changes are coming there soon.
so wonderful to watch this, I myself do still at 70 3 times a week a basic barre ! feels great !
It sure is a treat to watch the Mariinsky! Victoria is truly an amazing artist even in these exercises. Oksana Skorik is going to be legendary one day, she is so gorgeous to see in class, her cambre back in the plies was insane.
I don't know what is the secret in the Vaganova school, but for me, it's just the best technique in the ballet. GREAT !!! Thanks for this video !
It is a system.
There is no secret. The Vaganova School is the Russian classical ballet. Everything else is a circus or gymnastics.
It's a system applied to bodies that have been selected for specific criteria. Sometimes it leads to a mannered way of dancing, since, like all systems, it's not perfect.
@@КонстантинКубань-й1о There was Russian Classical ballet before Vaganova, thanks to the French and Italian influences.
I think they do certain exercises lying on the floor for good turnout, strength, flexibility. They don't just show them steps and throw them out in the middle of the floor with no technique or strength like most crappy ballet teachers do. They always have good technique so by the time they're in the middle of the floor they aren't floundering and picking up bad habits. There are some good utube videos on this but you have to look.

Its russian teaching tradition to use grand loud strong voice. It makes you more disciplined
That explains why the dancers are so excellent. Thank you.
Yep. =) Mr. Petrov is usually use very booming and peppy voice. However his intonation does not sound like he is strict or angry. Just cheery and upbeat. It's funny how he always address the dancers "druzya moi" in a very loud rolling thunder voice manner (literally translates as "friends of mine") every routine he asks them to do. I heard on some ballet forums what dancers usually joke about Petrov: his wakeup/warmup class in the morning is better than coffee. So they secretly calling him "Mr. Coffee" behind his back. :)
Additionally, Petrov has been a personal trainer of Xander Parish for the last few years. I read interview where Xander is speaking greatly about Petrov. Quote (according my memory): he is just always "davai davai" (literal translation: common common"). Besides, people in UK can see how better Xander become. (well, may be "not better", because it's not fair to compare different schools and techniques, but Xander definitely became different in terms of his hand-head-torso coordination.

Good question . The absence of a credit for the pianist tells you something significant.

Today the dancers can wear whatever they want during rehersals. I just wonder what their predecessors wore in class during the Soviet era, when their company was known as Kirov Ballet, another wonderful ensemble, second only to Bolshoi in the world of classical ballet.

Then again, if you have been on the road (on tour), for months, flying all over the friggin world year after year, working to keep you technique together, you might not look so happy either. Likely, they are delighted to be dancing....but, like anyone in their position, they're just friggin' tired!
It's not like they are dancing or anything. It's just their warmup class to stay in shape. They doing it 350-355 times a year it's hard to get excited every day. It's just work, company usually just routinely rotate teachers and ask them to switch routines according to their strategy plan (if upcoming performances has a lot of jumping or such, teachers include more deep plies and other specific dance excersises, or if upcoming performances needs more endurance or elegance, teachers usually asked to develop or focus more on those aspects). Besides it's useful to switch and shuffle dance exercises from week to week, so dancers won't get used to the same day-to-day monotonous routine. As I said this particular class is nothing than just warmup, before this some dancers usually having some stretching and small wakeup excersises in other class, and after that goes to thus warmup class, and only after that they go ahead to their choreographers and teachers to learn new dance/choreography or to rehearse before performance on stage (usually 3-4 hours before the show).
+Alex Zam To me, even their calm-down exercise looks graceful and artistic
Too much talking - please talk less
This teacher is going to fall back one day :-)))))
It must be really hard to concentrate with that guy shouting ALL the time. He screams even dancing!!!
Why, on the contrary I find this teaching style motivating, probably because I am used to it. I wouldn't want to take a silent class though, comments - both personal corrections and impersonally directed make me work harder.
Malonek Yeah corrections are great for every dancer, but he doesn't shut up any minute!! And his voice is annoying for me, looks like a market.
that is basically what I was talking about, I am used to this loud teaching style and it fits me well, it's all about the personal preferences... I am used to teachers being constantly like "we hooooold the leg hiiiigh" "push the leg fast" "and ooone and two" "try to survive and turnout more" only it is in my language. class without this would seem dull to me actually
Exactly !!! in my opinion , ballet teachers must speak loud , otherwise you simply can't hear them
The pitch and voice of the ballet master is UNSUFFERABLE. I wonder how such an unpleasant person can be given a class in such a company. So uninspiring. It gives me the creeps. It only works for the frappes.
Maybe because youre not familiar with the language and culture.... But he is just being neutral and very professional.... Hes doing his job.... Greatly, btw
This teacher just screams too much and his class is not atractive or interesting at all. Poor dancers...
It seems to be the Russian style. For the best looking dancers, gentler instructors and bloody sight better pianists than this tedious bore at the keyboard, look at the Royal Ballet classes - particularly the 2018 World Ballet Day company class.
The Royal Ballet can’t hold a candle to the amount of outstanding artists the Russian companies produce and that is an inescapable fact
I have a ballerina friend, quite a beautiful, well known dancer, who had to stop her career. When she went (?) 'en point' and would spin on one toe, she would release violent farts, even heard over the orchestra. She would be in tears, but the public would be hysterically laughing. So sad and awful for her.
Is this true, or are you just a childish troll? 🤔
keep the dancers toss out the loud unpleasant baffoon
The voices bother a lot...
I’m watching this in 2023. By heck, there’s some well known names there. 🩰🩰🩰🩰🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
