The thin bashing is honestly getting out of hand. You wouldn't bash someone heavier for their weight, so why bash someone lighter? Vishneva can dance and she does so beautifully and cleanly. Isn't that what watching dance is about? I find her enjoyable in this and in all other performances.

More important, she’s been having a long and successful career, still dancing lead roles at the age of 40. That’s only possible with a healthy body and mind. She has been dancing all over the world, and she is also a mother and appearently a happy person, if you watch her interviews and her public appearances she is so enthusiastic about dance. These stereotypes about anorectic and sick ballet dancers will probably never die.

If the male partner has to lift a beautiful 200 lb female partner, he might find himself on the ground under her because the gravitation would pool down a heavier lady-ballerina vs well toned healthy lower weight female partner. In Romeo and Juliet ballet the lifting of the Juliet reaches a high number. Considering that body builders are not the male dancers -both male and female dancers have to stay at a low weight- high in good quality muscles but low on fat. If you can do it in. Healthy way , it’s I great job done. If any dancers develop Eating disorder they should seek a professional help.

I think people don’t get that some people are naturally very thin. I was extremely thin with all of my bones sticking way out and I ate a lot. I know it was unusual because no one looked like I did but it wasn’t my fault.

I really wish people would stop bashing on Russian dancers for their weight. In America, people of any body type can dance and pursue a professional dance career. That is most definitely NOT the case in Russia. Russian academies select girls based on physique and natural ability and for these reasons, not surprisingly, they consistently produce the strongest and best dancers. Yes they are thin but being thin is by no means synonymous with being weak or unhealthy, especially for Russian dancers who are already genetically predisposed to being thin naturally (which is why they are even admitted into the ballet academies in the first place). American dance companies tend to have a wider range of body types which is why Russian girls may seem to be on the extreme end of the weight spectrum but by NO means does that mean they starve themselves, promote, or participate in any unhealthy habits. Different set of cultural standards people, it's a thing.

I've seen this variation done by several world class ballerinas and believe this is the absolute best performance. Even better when she did it again (she was wearing a blue costume then). The only thing working against her is her youthfulness, but other than that, I haven't seen a better interpretation.

@@jamietp its Swanilda’s variation Act 3. She was 17,5 here. They also mentioned that it was they only Swanilda at that competition that year.
She looks much better now, that she built up all those strong muscles. She was too thin, a bit over the edge, even for a ballerina, even for me, who thinks that the best body type for a ballerina is the super slender one (yes, anyone can do ballet, but when I pay to watch a performance I want to see a long, very slim body that looks best in a tutu). That means bones peaking out of her flesh, not very aestetically pleasing, but I doubt she was starving or anything, maybe just young and not fully developed yet and exhausted with intensive training. I can't say the same about Zakharova, being that tall doesn't make her look akward when being very thin, you expect tall people to look slender. But who would have thought this scary thin child would develop into that gourgeous woman, probably one of the most beautiful ballerinas in the world?

@meredithfrances94384 жыл бұрын
The Russians are mostly busy training their dancers in perfecting the basics and building on increasing the actual steps you do each year you progress. You’d never see a 13 yr old Mariinsky or 14 yr old Mariinsky student doing Italian Fouettes because the step is too technically challenging to do correctly at that age - same with super fast pique turns or the sustained repetitive high extension on the relevée with extended leg (can’t remember the name of the step) So many American kids (or teachers and parents) want to be impatient and learn ballerina repertory and “perform” variations that are way to difficult. They practice,practice , practice and learn these variations (one a year) by rote. Yet when they go back to class they fall apart because they missed months of necessary technique classes to jump the deep water before knowing how to swim. It’s an utter lack of discipline and patience. Instant gratification..

@serbanescusimona7 жыл бұрын
It is known that dancers gain weight after leaving ballet school and starting their professional career. It's partly because they become adults, their bones continue to develop due to physical effort (people seem to forget these are athletes, not models), they age, and they have to change their diet because of the demanding schedule. In school, the pressure is high not to be overweight so you can be easily partnered with boys that didn't develop enough back strength yet. It's not the case in professional ballet companies. Those guys are forces of nature.
