I am a former professional ballet dancer, who graduated from Vaganova ballet academy, St. Petersburg, Russia in 1999. In this channel I will be posting videos of my Vaganova Ballet Academy exams from grade 1 to grade 8 (years 1991 - 1999), and also videos of me exercising, and stretching, in ballet studios and at home.

Интересно Цискаридзе говорил, что если ученик стоит в классе сзади, то так будет всегда Ничего толкового не получится Так ли произошло с девочками, которые здесь стоят сзади?
Thank you. I was looking to see if anyone else said ‘no music’ but - must be just me for some reason. I still love the beauty and elegance of Vaganova classes ( well, I used to. Don’t like the way they’re doing it now. Seems like they’re throwing away something of beauty and elegance for - don’t know. Just my opinion folks) Thank you 🙏 🩰🩰🩰🩰👵🇦🇺 🩰
Some didn’t make it to a final graduation year, some made it and worked at Mariinskiy theatre, Russian imperial ballet, Mihaylovskiy theatre, Eifman ballet, The National Ballet of Canada.
I will try to point myself out 😆 1. In Level 1, I am the second girl from the right on the centre barre 2. Level 2, the same, second girl from the right on the centre barre 3. Level 3, our new teacher didn’t like me and removed me from centre barre 🙈 I was placed on the right side barre in the middle 4. Level 4 - new teacher! And I was put back on the centre barre - second girl from the right 😁 5. Level 5, I am the first girl from the left on the centre barre 6. Level 7 - the first girl from the right on the centre barre 7. Level 8 - same, first girl from the right on the centre barre
We studied regular school subjects at Vaganova together with ballet, so our grade would look like 1/5 grade, 1 is ballet level, 5 is regular school grade, and that continues through years, 2/6, 3/7 and so on.
Некоторые стали, Александра Ратусская (работала в Москве), Виктория Кутепова (работала в Мариинском и Малом), Юлия Попова вроде бы работала у Эйфмана, ну и я, Наталья Романова (работала в Национальном балете Канады в Торонто) :)
I was a professional ballet dancer now retired at age 86. What happened to petit allegro and nuance. These girls would make good rockets. There is more to ballet than high legs.
Кстати в наше время это снималось на огромную видео камеру 😆 я все свои видео кассеты перевела на USB, даже те, которые с 1991-ого года. Может и правда сейчас на телефон снимают? Насколько я знаю, тот же самый оператор там работает и сейчас.
