In this video I will be reacting to my old ballet videos! How did I perform on stage before, how confident was I in front of the audience? Yes, I am incredibly embarrassed to watch these videos now, because then I was completely different and inexperienced! Being a ballerina is quite difficult, and everyone started somewhere. And I am no exception. And today I will watch my old videos when I just started to be a ballerina! If you want to know how my journey as a real ballerina began, then watch this video from start to finish!

I grew up dancing ballet, from 6 to 17, was a soloist in a small company (until I had to retire bc of a hip injury that I'm still dealing with at age 38,getting a total replacement in a few years). Anyway, I only THOUGHT I was good and here you are at 13, dancing like a literal angel. None of this is cringe, you are far too hard on yourself. You have been so blessed with your talents and work ethic. Stunning!

I see zero cringe! this was adorable and honestly... shocking to me! lolol at 14 i was getting in trouble for smoking week behind the bleachers at school and Maria was a full on STAR!! She looked dedicated, committed and a little nervous but she still looked like she was loving it. Just wow! i loved it and YES WE WANT TO HEAR ALL THE STORIES! What was it like in school? was this a school for ballet where you learned your other material too? or did you go to another school for things like math and reading ect. Im SO interested in your schooling experience, did you like it or hate it at that time?

@roastedpepper 9 ай бұрын

I mean I’m not her but as for how her schooling worked… She went to Vaganova, which is a ballet academy in St. Petersburg, so it’s focus is on ballet. However it is also a regular school, meaning they have to take and pass all the required regular subjects (math, literature etc)… but ballet is the focus and the rest of the school day is built around it. It is basically middle + high school (6-12th grades, but 6th=1st grade). There are dorms if you’re from far away, but Maria is from St Petersburg so she lived at home. Hope this helped a bit. There are also plenty of videos on KZfaq about what a day is like at Vaganova. I believe even Maria has one. Edit: just wanted to add this. Even just to get into Vaganova is extremely competitive. There are auditions and they accept based on potential determined by body type (flexibility, turnout, etc)… only 20-60% (depending on the year) of students actually graduate. A lot are expelled if they don’t progress.

It didn't show at all. And to be such a wonderdul pianist too is unreal! How many hours did you practice the piano a day to get to that level of the piano so young? It is truly amazing. How many piano lessons a week did you take? Since I assume you lived at the Vagonova school, how were you able to practice your piano? I would love to know more details. It didn't sound like you butchered the fast part. Why do you think that? When did you become fluent in English? Your English is so great.

@dansasap Жыл бұрын

I'm not certain, but I've read somewhere that vaganova students are actually required to take music lessons and play the piano (or other instruments?). It's a common practice in a lot of big ballet schools since it is so beneficial to the dancers to understand music... so I suppose it was included in her regular schedule while she was there. Maybe she took extra time for it... but we all know she is freakishly talented and hard working anyway!
