Graduation Pointe - Vaganova Walk Through

Hello Everyone!
Here is another Vaganova walk through for you all to enjoy!
This time we are walking through a rehearsal of my graduation exam pointe section.
I think this is really interesting to watch as you can hear my teacher Irina Sitnikova in the background and also see the exam in it's not quite perfect form. The exercises progress in a really great way processing to challenging turns and finishing with a nice coda and behind the scenes action.
We had about a week to go before our exam and were cleaning up the final elements.
Enjoy!

    I literally wanted to cry bc of how gorgeous everyone was. Even the 2 girls who had to do the fouttes at the end were gorgeous. honestly couldn't believe how good of multitaskers everyone was. Dancing to the beat. Turnout. Lines. Flexibility. Strength. Staying together Jumps. I am so baffled rn

    I love you. I studied one year sadly no money. At 71 I still desire to feel the whir of the fuette. Thank you for giving me the fantasy in my head!

    Thank you for sharing these exam videos as they provide a glimpse into a very famous school. At 25:10 there is a single dancer you name, and say she's a soloist at the ___ ballet. I could not understand either name. I tried to look up the names I thought it might be but I haven't had any luck. Could you please provide the names? (Unless there is a privacy issue, of course.) Thank you in advance! Edit: I think I have found her. Ksenia Shevtsova, 2012 grad, current principal dancer at Stanislavsky and N-D Music Theatre ballet company. 😍

    Those turns in a la second, they seem like they are actually en avant, is that true? It's beautiful but I wasn't sure what I was seeing.

    You were the tallest girl at this group. Was it good or bad to be this tall? You do look more slim than the other girls but I think it was harder to find a male partner, wasn´t it?

    What exactly is an exam? I am middle age and unfamiliar with ballet. My only experience is watching the nutcracker in Sacramento.

    These girls are at the Vaganova ballet school. They are still students, so they take a ballet exam at the end of every year (9 years in total) and they get marked. If they fail they can be send away. If they succesfully graduate they go to theaters as working, paid dancers and they perform in productions like the nutcracker. The ballet exam shows what they have learned and what they are capable of technically and artistically

    Why did yiu stop preforming Maria Khodova is great on tenique i think her low point is that she does not promote the character in the ballet she portrays she projects herself noe shes also into teaching

    Hard disagree. It’s interesting to hear her perspective as she was actually there. There are plenty of other Vaganova exam videos without any commentary from the students.
