I never knew she was a piano prodigy. This 100% explains her brilliance as a ballerina. As a violinist myself, I can say for sure that classical music informs movement in a way that simply cannot be explained. Folks are always telling me how poised and well-postured I am. In my heart, I know it is because of my violin, and what the instrument fostered in my soul.

"A lovely image of contemporary Russian culture", so true. And the portrait of an honest and wonderful artist indeed.

I love watching Maria and KimKimm dance together. They look so beautiful while dancing.

Maria’s dancing is spellbinding. I watch her ballet videos over again and again. She transports me into another universe with every movement. Her grace and beauty far outweigh most of the world’s ballerinas. She also seems so kind and humble. Maria, if you are reading this, one of my top wishes is to see you dance and meet you. If you are ever in North Carolina, please reach out.

Great documentary. Truly shows the essentials of ballerina's life and of course important issues of Maria Khoreva professional life. I understand that being soloist in the reputable ballet company is a great effort. But I didn't know that Maria herself customizes the pointe shoes (so many of them), herself edits the You Tube videos and spends so many time training or in ballet studio. She is a titan of work. I really admire Her.

After watching this, I understand that for ballet dancers, grit is every bit as crucial as grace.

Maria Khoreva is a goddess of ballet and Russian music.

It would be really cool to have a book or guide about preventing injuries in ballet written by you.

So pleased to see this documentary with an English translation. Thank you Maria.

She is brilliant ! I just came back to ballet at 50 after a break of 15 years.

Wonderful! Well deserved. It's interesting learning about your journey, Maria. I very much appreciate your humble and joyful attitude.

After so many excellent comments i can tell you only three well known old words I LOVE YOU!

For someone so young, she already has that certain quality in her dancing. Her technique is clean but she brings the music and story and emotion in the clips I have watched and she is so darn charming too- she deserves to be fast tracked with her talent. IMHO anyway. I really hope she has a great career and more importantly, that she has a career that she loves. X

She's a very engaging personality, as well as being a superb ballerina.

Muchìsimas gracias por compartir algo tan bello, hermoso y delicado. Me està encantando. ⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️

You are perfect❤ I admire your discipline...

She is truly amazing XXX

She is AWESOME, in the true sense of that word. I just have such huge admiration for her

I love that rap motivates you; and here I am thinking I am the strange one because I listen to metal to motivate me and that every other dancer listens to like piano or something 😄

Picture worth a thousand words, really nice documentary with English dub. What's i come away with are, Maria can play piano very well, she is a very hard worker, very competitive from her days in Rhythmic Gymnastics, her D.N.Y with her dancing shoes ,her love for different kind of music. However, what's I 🤔 really want to know is, with her beautiful speaking voice, what's her singing voice like ?😊❤💖

I really enjoyed watching this “backstage” view of the ballet. It’s good to see how the dancers, choreographer and trainers pull the whole thing together. I find it fascinating.

I already consider the greatest female dancer.

Warmest regards to you Mademoiselle from NZ, with some little prayers for you. Merci beaucoup.

You cannot find any fault from her performance, so accurate, so graceful, so beautiful...we love Maria Khoreva so much!

She is such a nice person

kimin is amazing! this is such a great video, thank you!

I enjoyed every second of this episode! You are truly most inspiring artists of today's, an advocate of culture and soooo beautiful on stage!!

Thank you for sharing it. So interesting to learn about you and the life of professional ballerina in one the most important theatres in the world. Contratulations.

Ty! This was a wonderful insight and beautifully presented. Thank you so much for reaching out to share with the world. Keep up your efforts! 🌹

Oh wow thank you for translating it for us!

I'm glad I waited to learn ballet until now, I believe we're watching the best ever. In fact I wouldn't be as interested in ballet if it weren't for you Maria. That being said my interest is only like a 5 out of 10 currently, but that's up from about a -12 last year. Like the few of us who have a phenomenal ability to master tasks, your piano expertise is impressive.

I really enjoyed this video, Maria. From the first time I saw you dance (on KZfaq admittedly), I knew that there was something very special about you, from your musicality to the extension of your legs, however it is always interesting and somehow grounding to hear about the work which goes into the refining of such natural talent. Many 'thank you’s to you for publishing this and I wish you all the very best for the future! 💗

От Машеньки так и веет добротой, талантом, нежностью и красотой.

Maria ちゃん1番好きなバレリーナです💖ピアノもご堪能だったなんて益々尊敬します✨

Just so lovely.

I truly loved watching every second of this that I keep returning to watch again. I’ve followed your dance career every step. I’m an ex dancer. I had to retire after an accident but never did much ballet. I was a ballroom and Latin dancer mainly. God bless you, your outstanding ❤

Amo questa giovane ballerina, talentuosa, dotata di una tecnica davvero notevole,di un balance incredibile, eppure così umile, semplice e gioiosa....è davvero fonte d'ispirazione!

Hello Maria,.Very,very good Ballettvideo.I practise every day Ballett.

Glad she is getting more, and more recognition from the dance world... I wonder if she would ever do a video on why not more Rhythmic gymnasts do not go into traditional ballet after their competitive careers... she could even do interviews with RG's on that subject...

Thank you for translating this!

Just wow, you are incredible ♥️✨

Sei Stupenda, Maria. GRAZIE

Thank you so much Maria for the English over voice!! I tried to watch the Russian version with auto translate ( very difficult and made not much sense haha ) . Love This ❤️

Thank you for this English version! I already watched it in Russian, but only could have a guess at what was being said 😂

This is awesome! Your my idol, so it’s awesome to hear about my idol’s life. I didn’t know you were so talented in piano as well! You’re so cool! Can you upload a video of you playing piano, if it isn’t too much work? - love from America ❤️❤️❤️

Love you Maria❤️

Thank you for posting this dubbed in English! I tired to watch it with auto-translated cc the other day and it was terrible.

Amazing 🔝

Oh, this was very interesting to see the behind the scenes of your YT work! Thank you for posting, Maria. :)

Wonderful!

Hello Masha! I love your naturally curly hair! Looks great! And it‘s so weird hearing you dubbed with a different voice in English. 😅

My gosh, she can play piano as well! 😮

Amazing

I absolutely love this documentary! It's inspiring, and really shows your love for ballet! Totally wish I could see a full performance of you dancing the lead in Paquita... ... Also, love the natural curls, they suit you so well. :)

the automatitic subtitles saying "maria whoever" tho 😭😭

OMG, BALLERINA))

They should’ve let Maria to explain everything herself, her English is even better than the translator 😂😂❤

😃😃🤩🤩😍😍

Perhaps the dancers I feel sorry for are those good enough to get a position within a ballet company, but then are never good enough to progress beyond the corps. While all the great romantic and classical ballets depend on the corps de ballet, it's never a good feeling that you're stuck!

👍👍👍

Maria, if you need superglue to harden quickly, sprinkle on some Sodium bicarbonate NaHCO₃ baking powder.

Gets new shoes *ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS THEM*

🕊️💐💘💌

Do I have to go to Russia to see her dance?😵‍💫

UNIVÉRSAL

@ThePointeShop please review this cheese grater shoe prep technique!

9:13

Maria, why aren't your pointe shoes custom made?

00:27 I wasn’t fully paying attention and I thought she meant her *toenails* had come off inside the shoe 😱 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol

Очень интересно было бы посмотреть на русском языке.

Фильм прекрасный, но очень хотелось бы, чтобы речь была всё-таки на русском языке - интерес как-то пропадает для восприятия смысла фильма.

The narrator is in a marathon. Why is he speaking so fast??? It's annoying.

d

Omg, i prefer just subtitles! it would be easier to comprehend for me with just subtitles not the guy speaking all the time :)

Очень просим :на русском можно. Плиз....

а можно послушать по-русски? зачем здесь вообще английский

Noone is perfect , but....
