    She really is a pint sized powerhouse. Not only is she incredibly strong but there is so much grace and beauty and heart in her moves :)

    "ballet isn't a modeling business" .... perfect way to put it

      It is true, it is not only the body what makes dance but we have to admit that ballet is a visual art and, whether we want it or not, dancers' bodies have a very important role to make a choreography beautiful. I insist, ballet is not only the body, it have the purpose of expressing something, that is the important thing.

    Maria is so encouraging: "The difficulties are not there to push you away from what you love, but to make you stronger". Words that have really helped me powerfully during very difficult times. And she is just so beautiful in how she dances: lyrical and poetic. WHAT a dancer. Thank you, Maria.

    When she was talking about how being short doesn't matter and that its about dance and this is not a modeling business I was like YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS YYYAAAAAASSS PRREEEAACCHHHH

    There is this genuine and precious level of vulnerability in her voice that makes her so real, so lovable and so relatable to all of us. :)

    I am soo impressed by her wisdom and encouragement. These simple words of her's have helped me substantially during a very difficult period of my life. I'd like to thank her personally, and God willing, one day I will. Superb video, by the way: one of the very best from Anaheim Ballet.

  • @SuperSailorSailing
    @SuperSailorSailing 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maria is an outstanding example of a great artist with amazing eloquence. Her words are a continual source of inspiration to me, and many others too, I imagine. Thank you, Maria, for your perseverance, your humility, your humanity.

    "It's how smart you accept all the difficulties that come on your way, because there will be many. But, they are there to make you stronger, not to push you away from what you love." I LOVE THIS. This is SO TRUE. I am keeping this quote forever.

  • @RosaAbrikosa

  • @TheConfidentDancer
    @TheConfidentDancer 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    She is so inspiring! I met her when I was at the San Francisco Ballet summer intensive and she is so humble and nice! She is definitely one of my favorite dancers of all time because she shows that ballet is more than having the perfect body and technique (even though she has both), it is how you present yourself.

  • @AlesanaLoverxx33
    @AlesanaLoverxx33 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @SuperSailorSailing 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The best management advice ever given by anybody
    "It's not such much about a talent, it's how much you want to do it and how smart you work, how smart you accept all the difficulties that come on your way, because there will be many, but they are there to make you stronger, not to push you away from what you love.”

  • @noachka
    @noachka 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is my favorite video, ever. It is the most inspiring! I have so much respect for Maria and hearing her say everything she said in this video just encourages me more and more to keep going and to beat the odds, because I KNOW I can make it!! Thank you SO MUCH Maria for this insight and inspiration. I will think of you often as I face difficulties, you are right, they will always be there -- but they make us stronger!

    Well said!!! I'm 5'11" & was constantly told I wouldn't be able to dance professionally.. I let it get to me & eventually stopped dreaming of becoming a dancer... Thank you for letting dancers know it's really isn't about your body type, it's about your expression, dedication, & perseverance! Keep working & you can achieve your goals 3

  • @danawatkins
    @danawatkins 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I saw Maria dance the role of Juliet when SFB was here, and I beg to differ with her: She IS perfect. She defines perfection. She embodies perfection. She was exquisite, stunning, astonishing. I was moved to tears. Thanks for sharing this video.

  • @GorgieClarissa
    @GorgieClarissa 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    She's lovely!

  • @Jinn_life
    @Jinn_life 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is by far my favorite video so far... I'm no longer a dancer because I had to give it up for my main career.. music. But regardless I feel the same overpowering encouragement related to musicians. It's always hard seeing better people, or being criticized. This was very inspirational! Definitely made my day.

  • @natashfort
    @natashfort 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree with alcyonae. My passion is in Classics, and so many of the things Kochetkova says in this video can apply to anyone who is working hard to pursue whatever their passions and dreams are.
    This video was one of the best birthday presents that I received today. This was such a great coincidence.

  • @dongyan2
    @dongyan2 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm also 5 ft tall and she's my inspiration. I started dancing a year ago and now I'm on grade 3 with the other students who has danced ballet 4-5 yrs and my teachers are great. They taught me well. I would never stop learning and I would never give up because I had found my true passion and I won't ever let it go.

  • @loveemirandaa
    @loveemirandaa 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maria Kochetkova and Misty Copeland have been the two most inspirational dancers I have ever seen. They've given me hope, they make me believe in myself. One day I hope to inspire so many people, just like they do.

    @MiracleSoulFlyer 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I cannot do ballet because there is no place to learn. It breaks my heart so much because this truly is one of my deepest passion. I may not be able to do ballet but I watch lyrical dance and try to do that. At times it makes me cry to watch these videos because I want to do this so so bad! I know I would give it my all and work so hard and put so much feeling into it.. I KNOW I could do it... I can't though. But watching others do it... is amazing. Thank you for inspiring me and posting these!

    On Nov 28, 2008, she danced Giselle at Kennedy Center. My mom and sister and I were blown away by how she stole our hearts both in acting and dance. They finally understood why I love that ballet so much and why I had insisted that 4 of us attend the performance.
