Documentary about Uliana Lopatkina, prima ballerina of Mariinsky Ballet. She's shown on stage and during rehearsals of Paquita, Swan Lake, Raymonda and other, coached by Ninel Kurgapkina.
this is an amazing documentary, not just because of Lopatkina but because of the amazing filming! well done to the director and director of photography! very talented
what are you talking about?!? she's one of the most complete ballerinas of this generation. she works really hard, but please watch her roles as nikiya or giselle, she's got such an emotional depth
@ Alexandra Rose,@danceblogger17: I think some of that footage is from before she had the operation on her foot/ankle (not sure which exactly), so she might be in pain.
+Elizaveta Kadochnikova From the look of the choreography (jetés en tournant, fast ballottés, etc.) she seemed to be rehearsing the very difficult cadenza from "Ballet Imperial" in that particular rehearsal. That's a damn hard ballet to dance, to put it mildly, especially after coming back from an injury like that.
It's absolutely the reality of the hard work of the previous preparation for a good Ballerina... overall in the East Countries like Russia. I'm Ballerina, from I have myself use of reason. And it's it's a very sacrificed life with a great discipline!!! ❤🦢🩰 You could watch from yourself the routine of great Ballerina Ulyana Lopatkina....
@balletonly07 yes i understand that...idk i just feel that if ur to dedicate ur life to something maybe at least a few times you should be happy about it. i also dont speak the language but im sure the ppl that yell arent yelling kind things. :P so yeah i understand why she looks depressed but im just saying that maybe a few times she should be happy.
danceblogger17 in ballet you get criticized all the time. It is just part of your job. So I don't think it has anything to do with what they are saying. You have to understand that it is not about you, it is about the dance. And just because someone doesn't look like it's Christmas doesn't mean they aren't happy. She is just focused. If you had already been dancing for five hours and this was the thousandth time running that same part, I doubt very much that you would be grinning ear to ear either.

It must be something to have that sort of control over one's body. I can't imagine even coming close. Ballet never ceases to amaze me.
Да, нет предела совершенству
@Physdelicdreaming tottaly agree...it's all picture and no prose. masterpiece!
anyone knows the name of the first piano piece? its beautiful!
And look at how hard she's working. There's a reason ballerinas are thin and muscular, and it's not always eating disorders.

Завораживает
Does anyone knows the first piano song ?
@Phersephoie - Agreed! And I love how it's just about dance, not a bunch of people blabbering off their stupid opinions, etc.
Моя красавица
@danceblogger17 she's at work...and it's not an easy job
Beautifully tragic❤️
do you know the brand of her pointe shoes please ?
What is rehearsing ballet at the minute 0:12 to 2:34?
What is the giant rock at 3:07????
i often find that the russian language sounds more harsh than what is really being said. somehow i love it, though.
@repn87 basically.

I think its Legend of Love, shirin
OMG this is soooooooo TALL !
she looks as if shes never been happy her entire life.
danceblogger17 that's why she can perform so beautifully
I want to show this to anyone that thinks ballet is easy. And to parents and students who want pointe shoes!🤣
She's not sick, is she?
Есть в ней что-то отрешенное.
you are emty
lol she is NOT sick. Just look at how loooong and lanky she is.
wow her feet are huge. lol pob makes her 12 inches taller when she's on pointe. She's fantastic though.
She's got a jaw like Jay Leno.
says someone with no talent
She have talent but she is really sick .. ;[
She's physically amazing but I don't feel anything from her when she dances, it's empty.
