Yes she is lovely. A dancer's body is her instrument, her voice and it's all about how you use it. She has wonderful technique.

I started ballet when I was 17. And you don't have to be thin to be a good ballet dancer. I took a dance class form a BEAUTIFUL dancer, and she was pregnant at the time =) If you want to take ballet then go ahead! It's all about enjoying dance.

People get really defensive about weight.but its not about your weight its about dance and how you move that defines you. She is a great dancer and im sure everyone who commented on this is too. Just drop the fighting.

Il ballo mi ha accompagnato nella vita quasi da sempre insieme alle arti marziali. La danza classica però non l ho mai presa in considerazione . Un giorno ho avuto un occasione per fare una prova , e ho scoperto un mondo nuovo che mi ha affascinato molto e ho iniziato subito alla grande .È molto bello fare hip hop, e danza classica.

You should think before you judge without even knowing the facts. This is a DVD, which tells children about ballet to get them interested in dancing. The intention is to give children an understanding of some impressions about the sport as a great hobby. The dancer in the video is not a profi. She is also dancing ballet as a hobby. Nobody in this video claims, that the girl is a prima ballerina. Please read properly! The title is Prima, Ballerina! It´s a common title addressed to kids speech!

I used to dance ballet years ago and I stopped it because the other girls were having fun of me and my body is like the girl's on the video..! I was so depressed with that situation but now I really love my body and that's me at all. I could do nothing to be skinnier.Now I work out every day and I like to show out a healthy body rather than a body that is starving. She is very good at her dancing and not fat at all!! :/

Yes, I'm very very much inclined to agree. I'm not at all in a position to gauge the technicalities; rather I was reflecting on the attitude expressed in particular by Maria Kochtekova in regard to physique. What you say applies to any great profession, be it in the arts, sciences or other fields of endeavor. I just love to watch (especially classical) ballet: I think it's really beautiful, graceful: simply inspiring. And not without tremendous dedication and skill.

@Simmibimmy 13 is a very good age. If you are in a good school you should be able to do everything in pointe shoes within 2-3 years. Some people start at 8, and after 5 years, they still have trouble doing a single pirouette. I started when I was 13, son't worry.

Not if you understand German: there's a hint of irony. "Prima" in German means "wonderful" or "great". Also note the use of the comma.

Sadly in the old days it wasn't like this, if you look at the old photos, many famous ballerina's looked almost exactly like this lady, even Vaganova herself, even the great Plisetskaya was not too thin in her younger days. Nowadays the ballet world is realizing the harm such obsession with thinness does to girls, even the Canadian Grande Dame Betty Oliphant acknowledged this in her book...

jeez guys. she is not fat. she just happens to have an hour-glass figure. i happen to have a very defined waist and large hips, and i'm at a ballet school. i know how it feels to be this shape while everyone else has a very boy-like figure. i thought that i wasn't made for ballet, but it doesn't have to be so. her thighs are big because they are muscly. all that matters is that she is strong and is a lovely dancer.

I agree w/ everything you say except "underweight is not perfect because it is unhealthy". Most of the amazing professional ballerinas are underweight, but only because they train so hard. And at the same time, they're perfect. (Watch Diana Vishneva or Paloma Herrerra sometime.)

If you want to see perfect fit bodies, go search Svetlana Zakharova's or Victoria's Secret's videos. Maybe she hasn't got a PERFECT ballerina's body, but if she wants to dance ballet and she loves what she does , who are you for telling her she is fat? By last, it is a teaching video for the little ones who want to be like her, without thinking she is fat or not. (Sorry if I don't speak English well at all, but I'm Spanish)

I will say that German Russian and some eastern european languages sound very similar in phrasing and intonation. Just as French, Latin, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish sound similar in phrasing and intonation. The 'melody' of related languages often sounds the same. Many of them have the same root language. But Spanish and Russian don't sound anything alike. Listen to the sounds of the words, even if you can't understand them, you can hear a big difference.

Is this all you people talk about how big she is?She isn't big!!!You can literally be any size and do pointe work, or ballet lessons.The more weight you carry the harder it will be for your ankles and toes/shoes to carry the weight so in essence, they are stronger than all the waifs that do ballet normally. You only perceive this dancer as weird because we only see very slim dancers all the time. If all dancers had been heavier throughout the ages, you'd think the skinny ones were weird!

Guys, just shut the fuck up about her weight. She's a gorgeous dancer. In all honesty I wish I had her body and legs and whatnot, not to mention her technique. I know for a fact how hard it is on a ballerina when you tell her she needs to lose weight. My very best friend found out yesterday that she was going to be the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella, but during her consultation our artistic director asked her if she was trying to lose weight. She was in tears. She's been eating so well, but her

@hollywoodance97 I agree with you! I lost a bit weight and immediately got so much better in ballet. Everything was so much easier when you´re lighter. You shouldn´t get anorexic or so but if you´re a bit thinner, you´ll notice how much better you can do the exercises.

@whatafonduefulworld everyone's body is different. some of us just have the big posture. no matter how light their weight is. it's not about metabolism. it's just their natural body shape and you cannot change that! you can minimise how big you look, but you can't change a body shape. it's natural, you're born that way. so please, stop thinking so narrowly. as for professional ballerinas in professional companies, companies pick dancers based on 1. body. technique comes second. sad but true.

@BillBaileyFan2662 (Cont'd.) muscle makes her look better. I know for a fact it's muscle. She's done Russian in the Nutcracker for the past 3 years and all Russian is is jumping! Of course she's going to build up muscle. Her body type is fine, many girls would envy it. And even our male lead can lift her over his head without a problem. But because she doesn't have the generic ballerina body type she never gets a partnering piece. She's now thinking about quitting dance because of our director.
