    I try to have a preference. In the end, I prefer the one I’m watching.

    I love to see content comparing the different ballet schools, but I often find people overlook the cuban school, which also has its own flavour and nuances. Coming from a coutry that hugely adopts the cuban training due to similar body types, I'd love to see more people become aware of it as it can be quite different from other schools

    My favorite method and my favorite ballet dancers. No one else can reach their levels. And I would like to mention Natalia Osipova, to me she is simply pure perfection.

    As a layperson watching ballet videos, I think Lopatkina’s dancing is so beautiful and exactly what I imagine when the term ballet comes up.

    My favorite method, BY FAR. And my favorite ballerinas.

    I loved this! Can't wait for the next video. Russian ballerinas are so beautiful, elegant, expressive and supple, but what I've noticed from watching a lot of videos, especially recent ones, is that their footwork especially in faster, sharper steps, isn't always as strong and accurate as for example French ballerinas. Or maybe it even has to do with the demands for them to be so very thin that they don't have enough muscles to do those movements.

    • @beentheresawthat3982

      You are right. The Russian school just doesn’t pay as much attention to speed and fine footwork, so this is its weak point

    • @theDanceLens

      This is a great observation, fast footwork was never what they were known for.

    I do not understand it completely, but I love watching the ballerina's hand movements, they are magical, so graceful, like a ribbon moving in water.

    Zakharova spent 7 formative years at Mariinsky after graduating from Vaganova, where her coach was the great Moiseyeva and where she became a Prima. After 7 years she moved to the Bolshoi.

      I really should have specified about this or said “the bulk” of her career thanks for the note!

    Лучшие русские балерины хороши и в адажио, и в аллегро. И в дуэтах, и в вариациях. В этом плане совершенно прекрасна во всех отношениях Диана Вишнёва, имеющая огромный репертуар.

    I was trained in the Vaganova Method ( my teacher defected in the 1960s from Russia) with the emphasis on the French!

    This explains a lot of stuff I've seen but haven't quite been able to put my finger on! I danced ballet recreationally for a long time, and now I see why my Vaganova-trained teachers put much more of an emphasis on the back, shoulders, and neck in their class combinations than my American-trained teachers. I learned something today!

    I missed the splendid Maya Plisétskaya, as her style was wonderfully Russian and yet unique. Or Makarova, anotther example of ballet at its best.
