Nice to see mother and daughter working together, as teacher and pupil, in the opening sequence. Would like it to have been longer.

Why didn't she talk about the time she was director of the Vaganova Academy? She was way better than tsiskaridze, I think.

[@gretapetenberg2525]

No she wasn’t When she was director academy became worse thats why she was removed. All vaganova teachers love tsiskaridze for being that good director

@@gretapetenberg2525 Maybe you don't know but nobody at Vaganova academy wanted Tsiskaridze as director. Tsiskaridze comes from Bolshoi, Asylmuratova was not only a great, great, great ballerina, she is a genuine heir of the Mariinsky theater and the St. Petersburg style, no one better than her as a director. Everyone loved her and no teacher wanted her removed from the direction. Tsiskaridze is there for political reasons, not for talent. Everybody knows that. Ask the teachers what they think of him.

@@gretapetenberg2525This is what the teachers wrote to the culture ministry back then in november 2013 " Their departure disrupts the continuity of the school's traditions and represents an inadmissible, not to say criminal, decision," which has essentially paralyzed the institution and injured both the academy's reputation and Russian culture as a whole, the cultural figures said. The teachers at Vaganova academy have not other option than keep working knowing he has not the right to be there.

@@aeternumusik They didn’t want him because he is from Moscow but after he came Academy became much better. They have good food and places where to sleep.

@@aeternumusik Back in 2013 when he was just about to become director 😂 yes they did it because they didn’t want him. But after he became director they actually liked him. That is only your personal opinion about him I see thta you actually know nothing 😂
