Educational video of the barre of a ballet class with the Bolshoi company. Staring : Svetlana ZAKHAROVA. Teacher : Vladimir NIKONOV commented by Laurent Gentot
what a treat to share this with us and to narrate, as well! So sorry to lose Nikonov - he danced to the end of his days, and always did so much alongside his students. It was much too soon for him to pass, sadly, at 82.
As a Russian ballet pedagogue I agree with you, however, one must recognize folks unfamiliar with ballet also have a right to learn. There are plenty of other non commentary ballet classes for us to enjoy!
Quelle différence sympathique , à plusieurs niveaux avec l’ Opéra de Paris. Entre la tenue des danseurs , le manque de place pour les mouvements ( la barre devient une prouesse ) , le tout est joyeux et incroyable au niveau technique. Bravo .
Thank you so much for the full video class! I never expect to can see this on full after watch some little excerpts in the beautiful documentary Tsarine de la Danse. I see Osipova, Kaptsova, Lunkina, Uvarov, Shipullina, Nelly, Volochkov, Medvedev, Karim…. Thank you! I didn’t see Aleksandrova but I still in minut 9:30! Thank you! I come back to watch this treasure.
I just want to confirm that Uvarov is the one late and on the right side of SZ, Osipova is at 4:19, fourth from the left row, correct? Could you mark the timepoint for others?
She works really hard in class as well which is quite rare for principal dancers. Often they get lazier the higher up in the company they are but Svetlana always tries to improve herself even tho she’s as close to perfect as a ballet dancer could get
Your English is excellent. Thank you for the explanations. I sometimes think these dancers must be born with very elastic muscles and bones to bend the way they do.
Loved this so much, thank you so much for sharing! Consider myself very lucky to be able to see the whole barre. There are so many dancers in the class! Svetlana is incredible as she always is. I spotted Osipova towards the end as well. I must say the pianist is so impressive. I’ve been in many classes with live pianists, but none as inspirational as this one! Will there be a centre video as well? I’m hoping so. Again, thank you very much!
Yes, Osipova was there from the beginning. She was way down at the end of the side barre. I wish we could have seen more of her . . . . but I’m not complaining. Kaptsova and Zakharova were wonderful enough!
On the side of my video , there are other videos and there is one that says ‘in the centre’. It’s number 2. Hopes this helps you. 👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. Marvellous ballet 🩰 isn’t it. The dedication they show, day in and day out 🩰🩰
Oh gosh, I can’t remember now. It could have been zakarova and ospiva in class but, talking about having room, maybe a performance. Sorry, just can’t remember 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Why does it look like Svetlana is the only one really following the music right? I rarely have seen a dancer who is better built for Ballet than her. It is insane how gifted she is.
@@levondelite4072 mobile barres have been around for maybe 40-50 years, russian are old and traditional schools, look at their wood floors, they kept them like that until the 2000's, if there is a reason they didn't had mobile barres, it's as simple as that.
I think it's because many floors there are sloped to mimic the theatre stage, while the pendency on the sides inclination towards the fixed barres is minimal.
Hola mi nombre esDiana y soy de Argentina ,Svetlana como siempre perfecta, sus posiciones son soñadas pero me llama mucho la atencion que al lado de ella hay un bailarin con un pañuelo negro en la cabeza que tiene una mala tecnica, tiene la espalsa desarmada, deja caer sus piernas sin contener el movimiento, no utiliza los brazos correspondiente a cada posicion, y cuando gira para empezar del otro lado ni siquiera lo hacecon la colocacion propia de un bailarin, vi a varios bailarines varones sin sus espaldas colocadas li cual me extraña muchisimo, es una clase del teatro Bolshoi, en general veo desgano en varios bailarines, espero que no haya bajado la vara de excelencia en el estudio, mi humilde opinion como bailarina, muy mas profunda admiracion a Svetlana, una grande de la danza.
Excellent indeed, really awesome to see all this wonderful work, now mine must not sound as a critic so it's just a very personal point of view as a ballet teacher, the first, I think that In this barre work there are too many dancers next to each other, so that gives less easy and comfortable way to execute some movements, the second things that I notice in many ballet companies, dancers have a little tendency to lose the strong discipline learnt in the ballet academy I mean going all together with all with the same arms work, same for turning in the soutenu all in same way while working at the barre. I think that giving too much freedom just because a dancer became a professional dancer, a teacher giving class should request the same synchronisation technique movement work as if they were at the academic ballet school. When I was working in a ballet company we were also doing the same little mistake, even if it's not a mistake, but some teachers were screaming and pretending all the same while some others were not. Of course, Bolshoi is Bolshoi...... now if you watch well Zakharova training movements are perfect and well cleaned performed with great accuracy, while the dancers who are next to her do sometimes different work in the arms position...... but I repeat mine is not a critic just an opinion....... my email is jpp812@yandex.com Freelance Ballet Master in Rome Italy.
Thank you, this is lovely. I’m nearly deaf and I understood most of what you said! Your English is good ( far better than my Russian ) , if I miss some of what you say, the fault is mine. His lucky to get Osipova as well. I just love her. Wonderful Dancers. They look very crowded though. Is it because of renovations? Thank you again 👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Почему-то от Большого мы ждём всего из разряда супер! А на самом деле...И народу много, и зал тесноват, а потолки...И не все балерины имеют хорошую растяжку... Некоторые мальчики, как мне показалось, лодырничают...Вобщем, все как везде. Изнанка не бывает парадной!
@@upiter9 Вот плюнула во всех педагогов сразу... Или развей тему, если есть конкретные претензии к конкретным педагогам или... не упусти возможности промолчать...
It's Andrei UVAROV, her partner on many occasions. Have you seen the documentary "Svetlana Zakharova, The Divine" that I directed ? There are a lot of dancing of them together.
Does anyone know what year this would be? I know it's likely 2003+ because I've heard that's when Svetlana joined Bolshoi after Mariinsky. Sorry if the man says at some point in the video when, but at times I couldn't understand though his English very good. Only his accent was at times difficult for me, thanks
I only once took a class that crowded at the Atlanta Ballet and it was chaotic but fun. It makes you really focus because you don’t want to bump into anyone else 😂
Люди достаточно укутанны и не видно коленей стоп и чистоты исполнения все просто и без изысков!! Отличные комбинации не утежаляют ноги мне понравилось хороший репетитор!!!! Санкт Петербург 😊
Я понимаю Ваше мнение, я просто пытаюсь объяснить для широкой аудитории, которая не всегда професссиональна, нг всё же восхищается бэискусством балета. Я рад,что вы уделили время просмотру моего видео:)
The constant commentary is really annoying. Most people who would watch this don't need an explanation of ballet exercises, since they would already know them!
Disagree. I’m curious and love ballet, but the simple mechanics explained of what they are doing at the barre is made more interesting to one like me☺️I see what you are saying, though.
the order expellees from lids hat shack an new era out of the mall in dothan alabama war eagle fans not alumni they are trespassed from the university of auburn was in columbus an middle georgia who are we? handsome nephews an beautiful princes . .i always fall in love with mommy again its usual when your married . .she'll be bacc. .but i have to groom her a certain way . .cant help that. .its just a matter of soothing the nervous system getting the circulatory system flowing as gentle as possible she likes different things an for me to take charge its not appropriate youll see a difference in hair styles an behavior shes a lady shell do it for me but something supposed to promptly be checc'd afterward so she can feel better about herself in womens church imma get it top to bottom but its going be a fine in two spots for sure-X
I understand your grief but this is an educational video to make ballet more accessible to a wider audience. Therefore I am trying to draw attention to what seems to me interesting on the fly. Thanks for the time you took and your comment:)
@@theGoodchoice4U What a gentleman! I can't believe people are so rude. I know a great deal about ballet, and I found your comments helpful and also quiet and unobtrusive - but if I hadn't liked them I would have had the manners to keep that to myself.
No, I didn't like this ... how is it even possible to see if everyone is doing things correct.. it is like overcrowded bus of people trying to get to work in time.. dancer's almost touching each other with their legs. Not expected from asvetlana Zaharova
Love for how she makes anything look incredibly effortless
what a treat to share this with us and to narrate, as well! So sorry to lose Nikonov - he danced to the end of his days, and always did so much alongside his students. It was much too soon for him to pass, sadly, at 82.
Unbelievable amount of talent in this group.

What a gem! Thank you so much for posting this !!
Much appreciate for this video as a huge fan of Svetlana!
Светлана Захарова это такой бриллиант,это душа и тело в таком согласии,она очень умная и большв труженица
Украинцы все такие: умные, трудолюбивые и талантливые.
Базу С.Захаровой сформивали в Киевском хореографическом ....
WOW, I LOVE HER, I'M PIANIST HERE IN MY COUNTRY, URUGUAY, I LOVE TO SEE HOW PROFECIONAL DANCERS WOKS SO HARD.
THANK FOR THE VIDEO🙏MAESTRO.
Que artistas maravillosos bueno es Bolshoi y Svetlana unica impecable gracias Sonia Guerrero desde Argentina
Next to Svetlana on the right is Andrei Uvarov, at the right barre I think I saw my friend Sergei Antonov who sadly passed away last year. RIP Serioza
this is so lovely. thank you so much! hopefully we can also see the floor exercise in this class.
Loved the class. Especially enjoyed the commentator
like at Vaganova school, Svetlana is at the center of the barre and it is easy to pinpoint her, her movements, feet, placements are the best

Why don't they use mobile barres in the middle? Each dancer has hardly any space...
It's not the tradition

Около станка так часто занимаются близко друг другу ,и это им не мешает- привычка.Больше места нужно на середине и прыжках -его достаточно а этом зале
Не понимаю, почему не использовали переносные станки на середину, всем было бы просторней и удобней!
I have not seen a class with barres that crowded since I took class at ABT
I only once took a class that crowded at the Atlanta Ballet and it was chaotic but fun. It makes you really focus because you don’t want to bump into anyone else 😂
