What a treat to see the great Ulanova passing along her knowledge to a younger generation. I was lucky enough to see her dance Juliet, Giselle, Chopinanna, Dying Swan and two concert-piece pas de deuxs in 1959 in NYC. Never before or since have I seen such genius. It's impossible for me to describe what it was that set her work so apart from that of others, but she functioned on a level I have never to date seen in any other dancer; and I have been fortunate enough to see most of the famous ones over the last 60 years, several of them great, but none, IMO, having reached the transcendent levels of spirituality she reached.

Наслаждаюсь Галиной Улановой!!! 😊

You claim to love Vasiliev so much yet you didn't recognize him... makes me wonder..

Maximova had charm. Ulanova didn't have to work so hard!

Great coach coaching great dancers for ballet Raymonda

1'38 volodia looks great

I enjoyed these coaching excerpts very much, thank you! Funny how Maximova's chin movement is exactly on music @0.47 :) Is this the original music?

I wonder if she ever could teach running on and off the stage!

A slight change .. But have you seen the clip with Vasiliev teaching Eric Vu An? Asking him for epaulment?

that clip is the clear exemple of the fact that also a strong dancer like vu an in front to vladimir vasiliev behaved as a school kid .on that clip vasiliev only miming was a far more convincing ali than vu an that danced with all his strenght .and the secret was in the magnificent epaulement of volodia .his posture ,his regal epaulement ..vu an was like a kitten near to a lion.
