Behind The Scenes of The Mariinsky Theatre October 2-7 the Mariinsky Ballet Company gave seven performances of Swan Lake at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, California, as part of a major American tour, the theatre?s press service reports. Established in 1738, Mariinsky Ballet (formerly known by its Soviet name, the Kirov Ballet) has produced some of the greatest dancers and choreographer in the history of the art form. Via the collaborative efforts of choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, Mariinsky Ballet refined and established the spellbinding version of Tchaikovsky?s Swan Lake in 1895. - Розваги
Never tired of watching their daily training class.
A dance enthusiast should never choose between Mariinsky and Bolshoi to tell which is best. It's an impossible task. One has to love them both.

I agree with you. Sometimes balletomanes never have do a ballet class. But they have a nice tong to critic dancers.
svelte dancers, long; beautiful legs, amazing technique, so light and etheral looking. looking like dolls. This is true ballet.
The breathtaking beauty of these dancers is literally unequaled.
The pianist is so good....
I always love warming up like this before a performance. And the Mariinsky dancers are so wonderful to watch.
Wow!!! All the blood, sweat and tears that go into their movement and techniques doesn't seize to amaze me.....
ugh so much perfection in one place
Mariinsky,Bolshoi,Royal,National,N.Y.,Dutch,and EVERYBODY around the world are GREAT GREAT GREAT and make us happy to watch!!!!
imo and not only ,as you can read here on you tube ,she is far lights year from the mariinsky level ,but sponsors make miracles
I love the master teacher's deportment...this is the training showing through with even a t-shirt worn...thank you for the sight of the class with the Marinsky! wonderful...
Love the Bolshoi and Mariinsky theatres.
@Pauline IV - Don't forget the Mikhailovsky Theatre with some of the best ballet dancers in the world today.
Well said, Soter, and a smack-down if ever there was one. You’re absolutely correct of course, there’s more Petipa authenticity in the Royal Ballet productions of the classics than anything the Russian companies put out. The French POB do a more faithful job too. This fact sticks like a fish bone in the necks of the Vaganova/Maryinsky/Bolshoi fundamentalists who can't face the reality that what they’re seeing is Sergeyev’s or Grigorovich’s emendations, rather than anything created by Petipa.
they're a really beautiful company. impeccable technique.
glad for the recent promotions! Especially Viktoria Brilyova!!
I love it..!!!
Wonderful . Thanks a lot !
love
not glad for every promotion but very happy with Brilyova. She's classy, elegant, intellectual and long line everyone dreams to have. wish to see her own Le Parc!
I am so in love.
I would feel really inadequate standing next to them if I were part of the company
This was fantastic!
keenan walking out at the end.. Yay, Keenan!! good to see you.
perfection
La danza o ser concertista en piano hubiese sido mi profesión pero;a muy temprana edad perdí a mi papá y luego a mi madre,desde ahí mi vida fue difícil ,estudié pedagogía ,tampoco es malo,y ahora ya jubilada sigo estudiando idiomás , sin embargo esto me atrae fuertemente.Gracias por recomendarlos.
Beauty
2:06 i love the warmups
Lindo! Também Quero fazer parte dessa companhia
the music is from Solor variation in La Bayadere. Though on actual staging, tricks are more complicated.
I agree. Perhaps because it is the only professionally-filmed Swan Lake, with multiple cameras, for a long time.
adorable
How lucky we are to see this, unthinkable years ago before the fall of the Berlin wall
Igor Petrov -handsome man!
uau!
Forget kks, Tkachenko boy on fire!!!!
someone know the name of the dance who do the manège at 5:30 and after !! thanks !
skunk great bora good looking ,this japanese tour is a waterloo for us.
Who is the guy in the black and white checkered warm up?
Cool :) :) :) :)
keenan!
They are so good ! So russian in their dancing ! ;)
I saw Viktoria Tereshkina as 1 of the four swans at the end. How old is this?
Who is the girl at 2:47 in full black and right in the camera view
yes. he's high spirited, funny and really good when he's on fire. imho, best harlequin of these days. why they don't unleash him?
japanese women applauded bora saying he's good looking. they are insane!
Or this exact rehearsal was one of the many for the Uliana performance in 2007.
Yuliana Chereshkevich. Stunning thing is she's a deserving coryphee not a stand out in this great company. so many talented girls are there.
Does anyone know who is the woman wearing the long sleeve white shirt? She really stands out to me
medora! that should belong to glorious vika! did you see vika doing it on tv show? her transition is GREAT, close to glorious Kirov diva days!!!! i believe skunk would do italian fouette in place of a la seconde turn to double arabesque sequence. what a shame!
is the boy doing don q ?
great comment .this time you are right
yes,and i thought i was the only one that thought like that about her..not that she is a bad dancer but not a "mariinsky" dancer..
2:21 the middle girl is sooooooooooo good. who is she?
l hope that the gala will be good usually galas are funny ,is skunky skedulated for dancing something?
Continued... most of the Mariinsky ballerinas are graduates of Vaganova Academy where students are chosen by very tight physical canon, ie. their legs should be around 52% length of their entire height. So long legged girls are their default, kampa is not specially pretty, she's rather a big headed girl there. being in this company is very competitive.every girl in the company works extremely hard 14 hours a day. it's very natural for the public to wish most talented ones to flourish.
素晴らしい2:48
excuseme but s not clear to me the meaning of your comment
IS THAT KEENAN KAMPA 5:45 ?
I think so!
Darrius Legrand It was definitely her! :)
Erin Kristova OMG She's a supermodel!
Darrius Legrand I know right? :D I love watching her dance.
Yes. That was her, walking out at the end with her point shoes.
Can somebody tell me who is the beautiful dancer in 5:39 ?
+Paulay K This is Vasily Tkachenko
Tatum Shoptaugh mmkirov ballet m
IS THE TEACHER?
Russians are the gods and godesses of dance.
so she is going to dance LE SKUNKAIRE pdd
again, a choreographic notes fundamentalist came to complain not even directly adress at me. LOL!
6 people Dislike? May be they are blind or deaf?!
why?at the end of class is usual doing great jump and favourites tricks ,nothing bad or unusual in this.
Diana Vishneva and Natalia Osipova are the greatest living prima ballerinas. Yulia Makhalina from the past. What do you thing my friends ?...Just my own humble opinion... Anyway may you have a wonderful next opening in Marinsky !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@pediatrapaola
As to the "haterade" comment. Its one thing to offer a well and reasonably worded criteque. Its another to hurl insults that make you seem bitter and angry due to your personal feelings about the artist rather than the quality of her work. It causes others to wonder if it is poor dancing that causes the "skunk" comments or something else altogether.
Does she do the steps incorrectly or simply not like a Russian. They are in fact not one in the same.
First, we the public don't make the decisions of whom dances. Second, the ballet master must have seen something in this young woman to chose her. Third, I've seen so many girls picked for looks, long legs, sleeping with the higher up, etc that talent seems to get missed. It's whether or not a girl is favored by the ballet Gods and Goddesses. Sad but true. The public just has to grin and bear it, as it all works out for the best! The ballet master/mistress works these girls so hard they achieve!
like woman at 4:45
someone's sippin' that haterade...
@palubob gcxz
Abfab Russia best in the world, spasiba.
No doubt that the dancers of the Mariinsky are the best technicians in the ballet world, what with their perfect turnout and 180 degree extensions, but they're not nearly as expressive or as happy-looking as say dancers in The Royal Ballet company. In fact in my opinion they look as though they're being forced to be a ballet dancer. In reply to Norma Mimosa I would much rather see a lower but beautiful extension than a high and not so beautiful one. Also being short is not a bad thing in ballet, and neither is having an athletic shape. Ballet is all about expressing the music, not being tall and lanky and achieving technical perfection. And Tamara Rojo is an extremely talented and accomplished ballet dancer, don't judge her for her height, I'd like to see you do better.
The Mariinsky is definitely making an error by choosing image over technique and talent but the physical still is very important. There is nothing that can't be done about height but lines and extensions can be achieve. I mean, Osipova isn't the very skinny "weak" looking Russian ballerina with control and technique of Zakharova but her lines and extensions are definitely better than Rojo's and if expression and musicality are the things we are talking about then Osipova beats practically everyone on that even if her technique isn't that clean.
Rojo's technique is good and clean but the Royal Ballet makes me fall asleep. I can't even watch one video for a minute and then click on a Russian video.
+aislinn donnelly nonsense! All these arguments make sense only for
dilettantish western companies which cannot produce high-quality
ballets and therefore try to explain that their ballerinas cannot
make ``perfect turnout and 180 degree extensions'' by the fact that they are
more ``artistic''. The high-level art is always based on high-level
technique. Don't pull our legs!
*facepalm* on theory of "being happy and expressing it like Royal Ballet". Some serious authentic "music and abstract philosophical" dancing enthusiast I smell here! Lol.
This is just very typical warming up class before going to their teachers or choreographer for some rehersals or prepings before show. This looks like just a few selected dancers Mariinsky has, this is clearly shoot on tour. You clearly see this teacher (Mr Petrov) giving slight corrections here and there in a very specific, certainly very show/upcoming performance oriented way. This class is just a wake up and stretch thing, however you can see every inch of their moves just screams of Vaganova training. It's classic, it's authentic, it's nice long clean lines. Even Xander Parish is trained into this style now. He is becoming better and better with every ballet he dances. Good that Mariinsky is giving him a lot of chances and he tours with this Russian company a lot world wide. (I think they are still in Japan now - Dec 2015) At least Xander is not "holding a spear" any more, lol, but performing every week 2-3 big ballet in St Petersburg or worldwide. He started receiving some good highly acclaimed reviews. Looks like Russians did a good experiment on him: took Royal Ballet dancer with high jump and nobel nice feet work and married him with some famous Russian fineese and elegance of perfectionism, spiced him with those Vaganova-style "singing hands" (head-torso-hands coordination). Xander has a chance to become very very great soon. We just wait. Soon we will see. For a now he just learning all those old traditional ampluas of prince, lord of famous Mariinsky ballets, which usually considered as graduation exam for any Russian dancer (think Nureyev, Baryshnikov, Godunov - they all receive this training and they all danced the same ballets Xander is doing right now. And it's not Soviet Union any more, so Mariinsky is very open to modern choreography nowdays. Let's just see what happen with Xander, I'm curious myself.
However, not "dancing happy-go-lucky", "not expressing their feeling through dance" - is just a big facepalm. Seriously, check your self for being overly romantically fantasizing. ;) In order to be next or another, or even comparable, to Baryshnikov you need to receive this kind of training as these Mariinsky dancers. It's like learning alphabet before you can read and write.
There is a good reason why Vaganova audition every year about 1,500 dancers, accepts only 30 and graduates only 15 of them (in 8 years). And mothers of those kids are ready to turn inside out and backwards and pay any money in order to have their kids to be accepted to Vaganova academy in Saint Petersburg.
As for your comment about not "happy" dancing of Mariinsky... well, let me be short: you learn this Vaganova technique, you dance through classical repertoire of Mariinsky, you receive multiple good reviews from tough critical Petersburg locals. And only when I will be ready to listen to your criticism about Mariinsky dancers. Lol. Nureyev and Baryshnikov, yes both, bashed Soviet ideology, however they always were higly acclaimed about Vaganova training and Mariinsky style. They both danced it for some time, they basically were not happy with limitations of repertoire and ideology of government and wanted some more different flavour choreography in the west (sadly back in the time it was not easy as it is now).
Once again: this particular video is the Mariinsky's warmup / pre-performance at its best. Save your naive Royal Ballet is better" (it's not better. It's different, lol) and "poor and soulless little Russian dancers" to some other time. Russian dancers are always tend to be very high and lean. Baryshnikov was just and exception, because he was darn good, and Nureyev even though just midheight, but cat-like genious per se. Check out Godunov with nobel like coordination and posture, Godunov was 197 cm. ;) Just saying. All are 180cm+, all Russian trained, all become a great dancers. Not a lot of people complained about their "not happy" dancing. Rofl.
Ditto on Royal, making me asleep as well. Although they have some nice ones and their technique has finally improved last 7-10 years, however not consistent. A lot of things depends on the cast you choose to watch live in the theater. Might be hit or miss, I experienced that couple times myslef, and hearheard a lot from my London buddies. Like you I usually switch to Russians or Ratmansky with ABT. Besides, there is a very good reason why Royal Ballet is/was staging few Ratmansky's ballet. ;)
+Alex Zam I saw a class of the royal ballet. I saw many people smoke or laugh off to the side of the camera. I see no body here even moving their jaw muscles.
not exactly l will write privately
Don`t worry.. this is not my cup of tea at all Madame MIMOSA!!!!!!!
most japanese fans know nothing about LoL or FoB or Shurale or Yakobson Spartacus or Ratmansky Cinderella or Lavrovsky R&J. they don't know the true glory of Kirov/Mariinsky.
in a couple of days she must do myrta on the mariinsky stage she is not bad ,and l obviously have nothing against ,but sincearly l think she doesn't deserves that role ,not on that stage .so many talentated fully vaganova trained girls can't dream that role ,very unright .
are waiting that crane and bora dies for age
I wanted to cry, is there anything Russian's can't do?
Don't you think Keenan has what it takes compared to the other girls?
i believe you are not familiar to mariisky ballet style and mariinsky ballerinas. the company is reserving Petipa style with lot of epaulement, cambre line and arms use from the core of the body, this is the starting point of every corps girl in the company. sadly kampa's body does not adopt it yet. In the consequence when she dances, she's always a step slow or messes up the overall lines. she is not ready for even the corps appearance. Continued...
I'm very familiar with Petipa. I say you that the level of dance has fallen greatly because dancers with talent have got up and went to seek their fortunes outside of Russia. I feel you are more upset that this particular ballerina had a sponsor and was savvy enough to fight her way to the top, then the actually problems that plague the Marinsky. Tradition is good, but they need to modernize. Keenan is the breath of fresh air. I think you should get used to the idea, because more will follow.
familiar with westernized Petipa steps does not mean you are particularry familiar with Mariinsky style. if you are, you have to notice this particular ballerina can't work even in the corps because her lines are very different from the unity of the corps. even her body using mechanism is different. she tries to catch up with their line but in consequance she is always step slow in most of the movement.Continue...
Continued... if she was really talented and supported by a rich sponsor, that would be great. the fact is she's not ready to dance classical role in this theater. of course, they lost too many stars to Bolshoi or Michailovsky, small soloists to west, but every year talented girls come out of school. you have to see this dancer was outdanced by everybody in her Kitri debut.just watch more carefully, please.
There isn't such a thing as "westernized Petipa steps" mentioned below and there's certainly no Petipa left in the so-called "Petipa ballets" in Russia. In fact, Royal Ballet's productions of the classics are somewhat more authentic than MT's. I guess that argument is just another attempt by Mariinsky fundamentalists at making the whole Kampa business seem worse, something I frankly don't give a darn about.
l fully agree with bnesque ,have a look of her debut as kitri ,was just patetic ,apart she had not the right style had not strenght fastness sharpness and stamina enought too ,she is not a breath of fresh air ,she is a calamity for mariinski.
Too much cheap exhibition at the end of the class..
her debut as myrta ,probabily you saw the videos ,was not good .sorry but she is not at mariinsky level
he is screaming so loud....horribel training!
Probably because they are Russian you fucking moron.
