I remember some online comments were people were complaining that the “rich foreigners” were buying their way in, among other comments (a few years ago). Nice to see you prove them wrong.
Thank you for sharing this. Incredibly interesting. I think it is striking how you were afraid to tell your teacher you were hurting. It's the best school in the world, however, if they could have an atmosphere that would make dancers feel okay about sharing they're injured or injuring themselves doing the class, it would make the school even better, thus able to prevent serious injuries.
Tbh I was already a little afraid from my last experience at the royal ballet school. They were very unforgiving towards my growing pains and I hear it’s better now but at the time it wasn’t good at all The Vaganova were Better dealing with injuries. Although they didn’t have great facilities they were great at being caring. Of course if you get serious injured like I did, it’s unfortunate of course and not ideal at all but it does happen. My teacher was extremely caring and would call me every week while I rehabbed in England. The RBS used to cause me so much stress and would barely let me rest and not without huge guilt. Like I say it’s better now thank goodness as young bodies need chance to heal sometimes. 😊 Thank you for your support. More to come ❤️
@@balletwithisabellaWere you at White Lodge?? Floral St?? Love your art/work!!🩰❤💃🏻 Especially your portal into Vaganova School !! You have Most Exquisite Lines!!
Yeah, I love the narrative about what you were feeling and also the technical aspects. So interesting. So beautiful. You said painful stretching is worth it due to the results. Is stretching supposed to be painful?
thank you for sharing this wonderful training experience. This information is an insight.Tell us about how the teacher motivated you, how did the teacher convey the dynamics in the exercises, what were the priorities etc. Would live to see pirouettes.
I love how much the vaganova method uses the head direction even through the barre. It’s nothing like any method I’ve studied over the years. I’ve been doing a lot of Balanchine with my students recently & that method uses barely any head movement during barre.
LOVED!!! Would love to hear more about your specific thoughts and cues regarding the technique, and what you found really helped you with some of the more difficult things :)
absolutely loved this video. could you create more content about vaganova? like what a day at the academy looked like (food, classes, rest periods...)😊
Just an idea: I love ballet and can judge the emotional and communication elements of a performance. But i miss the technical knowledge. I would love to be able to identify good technique. Would this be an idea for your videos? A practical way of judging good technical performance. Love your videos..
Awwww must be so pleasing to you to remember all of these moments. Special experience it must have been... Beautiful to watch and very interesting to hear your thoughts. Thank you for sharing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing! I've just found your channel after searching for a difference between vaganova and RBS. Next week I'll have my first vaganova class and I'm excited. As I started ballet at the age of 28, I just can do my best and work hard but the limits are set. Though it's never too late to do what you love!
Could you talk about the meaning behind the center barre vs the other ones? How was it decided who was on each one and if you weren’t in the center did it mean you weren’t being looked at as closely for company spots?
the best stand on the centre barre and the closer you are th the centre the more favoured you are. unfortunately yes the people on the side are less favoured and less looked at. I started my first two years on the side barre but then got moved!
OMGGG this video was amazing!! As a vaganova nerd I loved watching this and hearing what was going through your head. I would LOVE to hear technique behind the adage exercise..also that grande ronde de jambe 😭😭😭
Hi Carlos! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I absolutely will make a note and do some more videos about those topics! I’m also a nerd haha and love sharing and talking about it! More to come ❤️
I love Vaganova method very much and would like to say that you are very talented dancer . How long did it take for you to heal from your injury on your ankles and are the teachers understanding during exam week when they know you were recovering ? I have always studied Ballet since I was a young child and admire the hard work and dedication of any student of this form of discipline . Keep up the good work 🌺💃
You are a lovely dancer with great facility! I enjoyed watching! I'd definitely like to see more videos going into specific technique. I'd love to know what Vaganova does to get everyone's arabesque and attitude derrière so high? What is the technique and what exercises do they do? Also, how do they teach turnout? How do they get the upper back so loose and free? Please more detail about technique.
Hello Natasha! thank you for you message. I share a lot of exercises for strength and flexibly on my website - link in the description! The video you will want to watch is " how to improve attitude and arabesque" I share my secrets and it has been proven to help the attitude and arabesque height and strength xx
Dont know about Vaganova but I have seen a yt video from the ballet school in Perm in Russia and they have a person who stretches the students. The younger ones apparently bite her during the stretching.
This is so brilliant! Bravo to everyone in the barre but esp you! You really shined as the star of the day. Very sad to hear about your friend tho... He must still be very young

The girl closest to the audience has THE CRAZIEST hyperextension in her legs, I hope her knees are ok...
Loved this! Thanks for the inside take!

When there was a ninth grade what was the biggest difference between 8th and 9th grades other than the obvious difficulty? Was it just refinement?
not a massive difference. one or two new steps but generally just refinement yes hence why they took off the 9th year again now and there's only 8 now

they pick dancers that are naturally flexible!

What is the skill difference between centre barre and side barre? To my untrained eye everyone looks the same, how are the centre ones better?
You are just brilliant and gorges, bravo!
Technique please, It would be so helpful!
i absolutely admire this. i would like to learn the techniques
❤👏👏👏👏❤
Loved it!! Thanks for sharing!! And what was going through your head when fixing your leotard so many times 😂😂😂

Is there an age that is to old to join the academy?

It would be good if you could tell us which one is you. Great video.
I’m the central girl, under the portrait.
