I know this is more than 24 hours away, but I can't explain how exciting this collab is! You guys are both my favourite ballet TH-camrs and both wonderful artists!
Natasha, thank you! They are really great! We think you might like Youth America Grand Prix coaching tips with former soloist of New York City Ballet and Miami City Ballet and YAGP Judge Kathryn Morgan and 2020 Hope Award Winner Kennedy Kahler: th-cam.com/video/934wegGdQGc/w-d-xo.html
I am all for these collabs! This helped a lot because learning pirouette's I was having trouble figuring out how to do it. I am still new to ballet - so I never knew there were differences. In my adult class - I would just - I guess - mix whatever I saw on TH-cam and try it like that, but this video helped me see the differences between two different ways on how to do a pirouette. Thank you guys!
Agreed! We love this collaboration too! We think you might like Youth America Grand Prix coaching tips with former soloist of New York City Ballet and Miami City Ballet and YAGP Judge Kathryn Morgan and 2020 Hope Award Winner Kennedy Kahler: th-cam.com/video/934wegGdQGc/w-d-xo.html
Glad you enjoyed it! Take a look at YAGP reaction video with Chris Sellars and Kathryn Morgan: th-cam.com/video/PIZNfKB7gPU/w-d-xo.html Let us know if you like it!
Well done! Thank you so much YAGP, for sharing the differences between Balanchine and Vaganova´s method of preparing pirouette sur le cou de pied en dehors from 4th position, shown here by these two wonderful ballerinas - Kathryn Morgan and Maria Khoreva .👏👏👏
Fascinating, this is so helpful, I remember as a young dancer when seeing so many different styles of turns, pirouettes became confusing, which results in a lot of us doing our own thing and then of course not knowing how to impress different teachers who are used to a particular style.

Maria 😍😍😍 !!!. Love U. You’re the best 💖🌺 я занимаюсь с вами каждое (почти 🤭) утро после более 20 лет перерыва. И прогресс виден. С вами заниматься, нельзя придумать лучше как пример, для техники. Спасибо большое 🙏🏻💖🌺
I love this so much & im not even competing. Maria’s explanation of the arms when going from 3rd through 1st to 5th in Vaganova made so much sense to me. An adult dancer. + it just feels right! And Katie. I’m glad I’m not the only one who cheats on our straight back fourth 😉🤫☺️: God Love him (Mr B:) but sometimes we just need that extra momentum. Which requires entire carriage and placement of sits bones, etc. y’all know…Though it’s a slight adjustment: You pull it off wonderfully either way. And your explanation of arms = beautiful as well: spot on. 👍😁🩰💝💫 #balletstars #pirouette
In Balanchine times there were not so much developed techniques doing turns, and pirouettes was done ,and it is still the same mainly by arms. In Vaganova, and I would say the Soviet way it is done by force of legs plus arms, which is much easier and more powerful. No one of them do not mentioned of the power of the knee, or high passé , which is actually is the engine of turns.
Thank you. It is so interesting to get it straight from each dancer directly from their school. It would have been nice to see an ending pirouette of each. I really like the collaboration. I could listen to Kathryn and Maria talk for hours they are so warm, personable, and gracious, and respectful. Your figures are both so beautiful and slender and toned. Kathryn your body looks gorfeous. (Maria too.) Maria is so humble and charming. (Kathryn too!) Amazing that quality of humbleness. I would love an a la second develope comparison. Maria also has an absolutely fabulous tape on develope.
Actually not only to see the ending pirouette, but the whole development IN SLOW MOTION to explain the differences. To do it technically, today is a joke, you even can do it with the iPhone directly. Further a small Mic test for Kathryn would have indeed helped to make them sound similar. It is nice to be friendly to everybody and I like the new wave of friendliness in Ballet, but .... please... if you offer something to learn, do it in a way that it is accessible to understand the points. To have the weight focused and balanced on 2 legs or mainly on 1 leg has a lot of not only orthopedic consequences, but also gives different artistically focuses and opportunities.
Fascinating! I think Balanchine's stylistic influence must have permeated most of the USA, because I learned to do the Pirouette, in Fort Worth, Texas exactly as Kathryn demonstrated. I do think the straight back leg is actually prettier personally. So, I could not help but notice how fluently Maria Khoheva speaks English. So in addition to being an incredible Ballerina, I'm guessing she's a closet American perhaps? 😉 No british accent I noticed. I'm so very impressed!

I think people tend to get the term “technique” and “style” confused when it comes to Balanchine vs. Vaganova. Balanchine is more of a stylistic method for specific choreography. This is a stark contrast to the Vaganova school which has an actual established methodological syllabus and technique. Just look at the Vaganova’s track record in producing star after star for, without exaggeration, hundreds of years. I am hard pressed to find even a few dozen Balanchine dancers who are of the same caliber as Vaganova graduates. In my eyes, they simply cannot be compared.
Off to a great start! But i would love to see more pirouettes actually demonstrated side-by-side. The ever-gracious Maria unfortunately did not get as much time as Kathryn, I would have liked to hear equal amounts of explanation of both techniques. But overall a great video.
It might interesting to hear actual pedagogues discussing how turns (pirouettes) are taught. As students then dancers, we are not necessarily the best judges of how we were initially taught.
For someone who promotes body positivity - why is Kathryns video presented with the screen narrowed, so as to make her appear more thin. You can see how ridiculous it is when you look at her face directly from the front compressed into a thinner screen. Maria's screen is not narrowed in the same way. It makes them look the same size, when they definitely are not in real life.
It would have been nice to actually see a pirouette. I don’t actually know what either of these styles are, to me a pirouette is a pirouette, but I was curious enough to click, but I never actually found out!
not that anybody cares but many russian/vaganova pirouette prep (to the right for example) has the right arm approximately 45* to the side and with a bit of a wind up the right arm then goes to the front before turning....Many do this..
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.
thats really rude! the russian tech uses a lot more muscle control and strength. its also in my option the best tech in the world (most primas, have a russian tech or something similar). balanchine is a style not a tech and will destroy your body. I can't watch NYCB bc the tech is so bad and the poor dancers are a mess thanks to their bad training.
@@jessirvington1946 Indeed, why do Balanchine lowers alway degrade Russian technics and styles? It would be interesting to see a serous research where are happening more injures for the ballerinas, in the NYCB or the Russian style of dancing?
Loved the fact that neither style is incorrect. I have had this argument many time with teachers who get stuck with a style and will not expand to look at other techniques. Loved this bring on more.
Balanchine is an uglier style and it is much harder to balance using that technique. There's a reason why almost all the best dancers are Russian.
@@emhu2594 balanchine is modernized russian technique (learned that from a teacher at sab) we all have preferences and opinions no need to tear down one technique. neither is better. i prefer watching balanchine dancers to russian because its less boring (an opinion)
