Огромное спасибо за такие моменты о творчестве великой балерины нашего века. Ульяна фантастичная , космическая неземная...

She really is a living breathing swan! so precise and graceful.And with the face of a 1930s film star.Incredibly effortless,both as a person,and this documentary.

Awww her daughter is adorable!

[@balletshoes]

Cold?! Never! I've seen her in other documentaries and she is so amazingly down to easrth person! But this was so cute how the little gilr is supporting her mom's leg. Amazing! Simply amazing! And Uliana is just the personification of perfection!

[@plie1989]

What a beautiful documentary. I just love Uliana, and it's wonderful to see her in rehearsal and with her daughter.

[@CKmakifuji]

this documentary is wonderful, quiet yet saying thousands of words. Lopatkina deserve respect, who works for herself, against standard set by herself. Human beings who define themselves seriously worth respect.Thank you so much for sharing

The amazing thing about her daughter is that she "corrects" her in a right way ! lovely !

[@LINAKI123]

This is by far the most incredible dancing documentary I've ever seen. Thank you for uploading it :)

[@pointeoflife]

This is truly an artwork of a documentary! I am astonished, and so inspired! I simply don't have words..!

[@ilovefacebookandebay]

Many thanks for sharing this lovely documentary with us.I love Uliana.I would love to see her perform live.

[@drdancerlisa]

She is perhaps the most beautiful ballet dancer I have seen: the most control and the most purity and simplicity. Yes, this is indeed a beautiful film. I, too, love the photography and sound. The slo-mo and absence of narration. I have to comment on the child situation, though. Whether the film-maker meant to comment or not - I think he meant to... to wit his cut from the ovations for mamma to the quietude and solitariness of the little girl backstage in the dressing room. It is disturbing to me the apparent disconnection from the child. Why is she being left alone in the dressing room for seemingly long periods; is there not one babushka in the entire country to be with her and talk and play with her? And then, when she is attempting to engage her mother and is willing to enter mother's dance bubble, mother barely acknowledges the child. Sad. There's artistic dedication and then there is checking out of real life...

+dancerlisa true reality of people in the theater... there is art, nothing else.... ask any performer. And her daughter will probably start dancing too

[@BrunaPacheco]

She's so classy, I love so much her port de bras and her feet work. She's unique.

[@Pearlaceous]

Lovely to see Uliana with her daughter! :-)

[@tuvazuko76]

Thank you very much, this documentary itself is a beautiful piece of art!

[@luqa9209]

Как она прекрасна! Впрочем, Ульяна Прекрасная и не может быть другой...

[@zgnsonmez]

after 4.40 i was totally in love with her little daughter:) how cute that she is helping to mama;-)

[@alexandervoronov6659]

Очень приятно вновь видеть Ульяну

[@huixue4411]

She just seems so very serious about her work. It is wonderful to see.

[@julietasoneira7269]

Que ternura como la hijita le sostiene las piernas! Amor puro, que belleza!

[@loulie1997]

I really wish i could understand what she and her daughter are saying.... i love russian! It's such a neat language!

[@Jazi000]

this doco is just so beautiful

[@1812over]

Love it, incredible dancer! What is that slow piano music at the beginning of the clip?

[@MariellaOakesBooktopia]

her kid is sooooo cute. she is a beautiful dancer I hope I can be as good as her oneday.

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

gorgeous.

[@looovecats]

@dansedu92 You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

[@avye1973]

What a great dancer and person and what a lame documentary that is not getting even close to showing her beauty, talent and work.

[@amlid]

@Pearlaceous That´s true, is lovely and cute how she tries to imitate her mother in this last video! But her daughter looks sometimes quite lonely when she is alone, while her mother is dancing or at rehersal...and that is a bit sad, isnt it? :(

[@looovecats]

Yes, I like that fragments too. Many people consider her cold but after seeing that I'm just not able to think about her this way :-).

[@looovecats]

@loulie1997 You can always begin with an alphabet, and you don't need any course to do it and it's a good start. I'm learning Russian completely by myself and it's fun (but my native language is similar to Russian so it's not so difficult for me).

[@jpiano2]

spasiva

[@tutus4life]

oh my gosh Masha is just the cutest thing! Was she just baby babbling in russian or was she actually saying something?

[@loulie1997]

@spqrmor oh i really hope to learn it someday! finding a college that offers it is a challenge for someone who lives in a small town... :( but i'll keep looking because i think it will help me in my career if i become a dancer! :)

[@rebeccawhite9379]

Most of the video you can’t see her footwork

[@charlostainsawshades6962]

She's more flexible than her tiny little daughter 😱 it's usually the other way around

[@wck26]

is that her daughter? so cute!

[@dzalbs_]

She was saying real ballet things...
