Dear Ilya, I don't know how, but you obviously teach these boys much more than just dance. They all seem to have great character, and express so much dignity and joy in their work. Just the coolest thing around. Thanks!!!
Ilya, these dancers are absolutely exquisite! It was a true joy to watch your students and I thank you for sharing not only your gift with them, but this video with us.
What an extraordinary group of young men! They are true artist and athletes. They're strength and grace amaze me beyond words. Thank you for sharing their talents with us. I hope they all go far!
Excellent master work. You are a teacher with good eyes for get the most of your students. And your videos are a good inspiration for all of us, who watching your videos learn a lot from you. I wish I could go over there and take a course for teacher. You must be so proud of your students and see them get into companies!!!
What an amazing class, congratulations Ilya. The African American kid, Gabe Stone Shayer is incredible, what a talented and beautiful dancer. I hope you make it very far, you catch the audience like nobody else!!!!!!
I have just spent a good couple of hours trying to figure out what the Afro-American (?) gentleman in this film is up to nowadays. It's rare to find someone with flexibility and elevation both on that scale. Between that and an obviously mature and secure overall technique that enables him to do whatever ne needs to, express whatever he needs to, he really stands out and I would like to see more of his work. Anyone even know his name?
@sylvieguillemfanx10 I guess this nlack on is brazilian, I saw him on a brazilian tv program and he was taliking in Portuguese as a native. I've red that he is the only latin-american guy at Bolshoi ballet in Russia. ^^
the reason why this video makes me so happy is because i see a black man fighting and do his all doing ballet in a place where most black dancers wouldn't come close to going. im hoping that he gets into Bolshoi or a really prestigious company because hes so beautiful when he dances and that would be so revolutionary.
Is that actually an Oriental man at the Bolshoi ballet? Well, I guess it makes sense. The Bolshoi Ballet Academy, for Christ sake's... The Russian are always the best as this great sport, hands-down. Every generation... You know, there was a time when ballet wasn't considered to be a respectable pursuit for boys... even in Russia! But when those like Nureyev, Baryshnikov, Godunov started breaking through... Russia was the first place where ballet became THE... THING.

I think male ballet dancers are sooo gorgeous and I want to date one... Alas, there is a lack of heterosexual ones in the US... :( it's dumb.
