when she started jumping on pointe 1:32 , i felt that. i stopped dancing years ago, shortly after our group was finally allowed to go pointe, i never developed the strength it took to pull off some of the more of the more advanced stuff but i loved every second of it! it makes watching these little dancers even more impressive the form, strength and dedication is so inspiring! fantastic job! they can all be so proud of themselves!
@@angele4091 They are not as young as they look. Natasha is in her 2nd year at the Vaganova academy which would be 2/6 - 2nd year ballet 6th academic subjects. This would make her 11 or 12 (but she had prior training and was en pointe before the academy). So is the boy, as Larysa Colombo mentioned in another thread. She also mentioned that the other girl is in the 3/7 year which would make her 12 or 13 - depending on the birthday month. I don't know if the other girl was en pointe before the academy or even if she had prior training as it's not a requirement for the admission for the 1/5 year. (edited to add) I've just read in another thread, Natasha is 11, Polina is 12.
i think they’re ready for them. they have enough strength and it doesn’t look like they’re gunna injure themselves. Meaning they look super natural with them
@@bakewithvanya6634 I'm a more contemporary/jazz dancer, so I don't understand the pain of ballet personally, but I have a lot of friends that do ballet, and all of them say the same thing as you!!
C'est très beau !!! Bravo à ces jeunes enfants qui ont du travailler très dur pour arriver à ce magnifique résultat !!! Ils suffit d'être passionnés pour faire ce que l'on aime naturellement
I am pretty sure they performed it as part of the VBA Nutcracker performance earlier in the year (or at the end of last year). At least Natalie Furman did.
@@alicenelson8615 Yes, I was wrong. Someone mentioned in comments that it was for a performance of Vaganova students at Moscow's competition of ballet dancers and choreographers. I also found a mention of it on Natalie's instagram and also Vaganova academy's webpage. It appears to be a performance of Vaganova's students there, rather than actually taking part in a competition as contestants.
Three budding artists from the Vaganova school in St Petersburg. Russia's just in a class of its own. Thanks for uploading the snippet. The entire performance of the school can be seen on the school's own site.
Спасибо, за возможность наслаждаться детским балетом! Да, это ещё не идеально, но в этом детский "шарм"! Молодцы, видно, как стараются! Получила огромное удовольствие:) Воодушевляет))
Вау!!! Это было божественно!! !😻😻😻Как невероятно сплясали детки!!!!Какие талантливые!!! я даже у взрослых редко вижу такую грацию и красоту линий!!!😍😍😍😍 Великолепное исполнение!! 😊😊😊Невозможно глаз оторвать!!Просто загляденье!!!Браво!!! 😃😃😃👏👏👏👏👏👏
Как выучены дети! Всё движения идеально исполнены! Конечно, две фонограммы слышны, и темп чуть медленнее на прыжках. Но главное -чистота . Дай Бог здоровья и успехов детям и учителям.
This kids have the opportunity to dance ballet . They are good i love the way this kids move . I neber had the opportunity necause iys so rare here where im from , I badly want to dance balllet when i was a kid i even beg my mom . So for someone whos learning how to dance ballet , do not give up follow your dreams no matter how hard it is , because you have the opportunity to learn unlike some who has no opportunity even if they really want to dance . Im a advance hip hop dancer now but i want to learn as a beginner again for improvement , i want to learn from a professional dancers and choreographers yet again theres no one offering for dance classes here but i have youtube . It didnt bother me now that i didnt become a ballet dancer I enjoying watching dancers like this little kids and it makes me smile everytime i see a ballet dancer perform.
This is incredible! I am stunned if you don’t look at their size you could mistake them for adult dancers. They are so incredibly talented and on the spot. Not flawless obviously but who would expect that at their age anyways. My only concern is seeing such young girls on pointes. I know it’s a whole debate within the community and in between schools, but still I was surprised. I wish them all a bright future! 🤗
I suspect they are older than you think. Natasha is 11, the other girl, Polina is 12. Natasha is starting her second year at the Vaganova academy, the other girl - 3rd. Normally, Vaganova academy starts pointe later in the first year, by which time most of them are 11, but Natasha had prior training and was already en pointe before the academy. She also danced adult variations, something the rector of the Vaganova academy, Tsiskaridze was actually very critical about and told her to stop, as well as her being en pointe at 9, indirectly. There is a video here of that performance and Tsiskaridze's reaction, but it's in Russian. But... as she was already prepared, she got the pas de trois above while only starting her 2nd year, she also danced Little Masha (Clara) in the academy's Nutcracker performance last year, but it's much simpler. I don't know if the other girl had training before starting the academy.
@@koolaidman6251 Professional academies start at 10-11. The girls are 11 and 12. Are you teaching at a top level professional academy? The video is from the Vaganova academy which is probably the most famous ballet academy in the world. They've been teaching ballet for over 200 years. I'd imagine they know what they are doing. This was just a mistake, and the boy quickly pull her out of it. (edited to add) I can post a link to a video of Diana Vishneva at 12 in an exam at this academy which includes pointe. Or a video of Maria Khoreva - a first soloist at Mariinsky - dancing this same variation at 12 (and she had had no ballet training before she started at this academy at 10, she came from rhythmic gymnastics.)
@@jewelmarkess You only focus on the top 30% of ballerinas who come out of Vaganova's academy successfully, not the other 70% who are cast to the wayside with broken bodies and minds.
The girls are studying at the Vaganova academy. Natasha is 11, and she is starting her second year. As I found out here, Polina is 12 and starting the third year. Natasha had training before the academy and was already en pointe, there are videos of her dancing adult variations, something the rector of the Vaganova academy told her to stop doing when she came to a Russian talent contest (or show - there is a video here of her performance and his criticism). Normally, kids at the academy start pointe later in the first year by which time they are 11, so I don't know how much training if any Polina had before the academy. Given the videos of the 2nd year exam and some of the academy's end of the year concert performances, it's likely that she had, as the exams and concerts show simpler choreography. But only a few kids get chosen to dance the pas de trois above. It's usually part of the VBA's December's Nutcracker, but the particular performance was a movie of the Vaganova student performances' to be shown at a Moscow competition - performance, not part of the competition itself. The complete performance is here btw at the Vaganova academy channel.
Фарфоровые статуэтки. Довольно мило видеть этот номер в исполнении детей. Первый раз вижу, чтобы замедляли темп музыки ради исполнения балетных элементов...
Lindoooss! Amei esse vídeo! Eles sentem a música, o que é mais impirtante na dança. Parabéns a essas crianças! Dá até saudade de quando eu fazia ballet
