Evgenia Obraztsova and Olesia Novikova at the Vaganova Academy in their 8th year.

The world waits with bated breath for Olesya Novikova to be promoted to principal. An extremely beautiful dancer -- in look, technique and artistry.

[@kathymyers7279]

JNK she always radiates a certain joy when she dances.

[@SuperBalletgirl101]

I ADORE them as well! They're both so talented! I hope Novikova is promoted to a principal soon!

[@christyyip8617]

[@ZachRogers94]

Oh ! Well I'm really glad you did. :) I love Obraztsova and Novikova!!

[@Ihmekummatossu]

Thanks so much for uploading these! Obraztsova has always been my one of my favourites. Do you happen to know who is the very tall girl in the middle of the second group (for example in grand battements)?

[@discontinuedpleasegoaway]

I think Olesya Novikova, first soloist of Marinsky ballet.

[@elizavetakadochnikova6988]

Nope, Olesya usually stands just to the right of Zhenya (they are about the same height), although it changes for jumps. Unfortunately, I don't know who the tall girl is.

[@normamimosa7295]

No. Olesya was in the same group as Evgenia and just as good. You can easily pick her out from her hyperextended legs. Unfortunately, the camera did not pan in on her as much.

[@ZachRogers94]

Thanks so much for these uploads, did you notice that many clips of these sections have already been uploaded by sangfroidjen, another KZbin user? Just a coincidence I guess! Also, thanks for the glimpses into their 7th year class! Do you have any of the barre? :)

[@alinaj1707]

At 2:56 does anyone know the name of the girl closest to the camera? She usually stands to the left of Evgenia?

[@elizabethvonrheingarten2612]

Does anyone know the first and second pieces of music?

[@estj8776]

유난희 뒤에 있어도 몸 제일 예쁘고 얼굴도 제일 예쁘네. 전혀 안꿀려 완전 이뿌다

[@resterfortbelle]

Can someone please tell me which one is evgenia???

[@steemdup]

nicolegamalo She the littlest dancer with kinda reddish/auburn hair. I think she's the center dancer at 2:22 performance.

[@discontinuedpleasegoaway]

The one in the middle at the begging.

[@petetotaro9510]

nicolegamalo Yes! She stands out Among the group! However, I think they are all as beautiful as anyone can get in ballet! The reason? Because when one trains the most professional school on earth, you are gonna get the very best results! Thanks for making this wonderful display available for the whole world to see! Peter.

[@jallison945]

who is this classes teacher?

[@steemdup]

If you were to compare/contrast the Bolshoi and Vaganova training methods for students, which is considered the better of the two? Anyone care to comment? I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thank you --

[@steemdup]

Thank you so much for your response!

[@avesraggiana]

It's my understanding that the Bolshoi Ballet School in Moscow applies the same Vaganova method taught at the Vaganova School in St Petersburg. I'll go further and say that all the major cities in the former Soviet Union with ballet schools of major repute also follow and teach the Vaganova method - Perm, Novosibirsk in Siberia, and Tbilisi in Georgia, etc. Please, someone, correct me if I'm wrong.

[@m.h2247]

steemdup Vaganova is better, in my opinion, because their port de bras and hands surpass Bolshoi !

[@ioioioioio265]

Marinski of course. Bolshoy nowaday, empty, sleepy and freezy.

[@ZachRogers94]

I know! That would just be the icing on the cake following Kondaurova's promotion... :)

[@ZachRogers94]

Yes I am very happy for Zhenya - she is getting much more than what she was at Mariinsky and this is what she deserves - prima ballerina status!

[@weronikakurzawa3375]

Wow 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@SuperBalletgirl101]

Actually, Sangfroidjen asked me to upload these clips! :) That's how I got them.

[@SuperBalletgirl101]

It certainly would be! Too bad they lost Obraztsova. But she does seem to be thriving at the Bolshoi.

[@ioioioioio265]

Top bad they underuse Novikova. Obratsova it is just precise, nothing more.
