Vladimir Vasiliev Ballet Class (English Subtitles) [Duet SRB]

A couple months ago the whole Ballet world celebrated the birth of one its finest practitioners; Vladimir Vasiliev. As a little thank you gesture, one of the teachers at Duet (and student of the great Vladimir Vasiliev himself! You can spot him in the video yourself!) Konstantien Durnev, took the time to translate a full ballet class for everyone to appreciate and understand the value of Mr. Vasilives extensive knowledge on the art form.
Any questions on certain points in the video please leave a comment below! For more information on Duet - School of Russian Ballet please visit us at: DuetRussianBallet.com

How does he manage to make these steps look so, well, masculine? One of the greatest male stars, who is sorely missed.

[@lydiapnevmaticou3857]

The first ballet performance I have ever seen as a child was Spartak, an old film in television, with Vladimir Vasiliev in the title role, and his wife Ekaterina Maksimova in the female title role; and Maris Liepa as Crassus. They were the reason why I was drawn to ballet ever since.

Vasiliev, grandissimo artista ed insegnante scrupoloso e appassionato. Una classe meravigliosa con allievi talentuosi e con il supporto prezioso di un pianista preparatissimo! Grazie!

[@taina2458]

For me, a brazilien, Vladimir Vasiliev was the best in the world.

[@maliarosaetoss2854]

A real treasure...what a bοdy...Mr Vasiliev thank you for everything...💗

[@lizlocher3612]

An actual Vasiliev Ballet Class!!! I could watch this forever. Reminds me of when I was in the Detroit Chamber Ballet Society learning from Mr. Louis Ravenal n Mrs. Lorna Simmonds in the 1980's!! It was such a passion that I worked on in my sleep!!! I would love to have been in a Vasiliev class. His students are awesome n Mr. Vasiliev is of the utmost perfection and grace!!!! He is an excellent teacher!!!!

[@viktoriaironpride4977]

I hope these young ones realize how blessed they are to have Vasiliev as their teacher!

[@lydiapnevmaticou3857]

I am sure they did. I have only seen Vladimir Malakhov dancing live, and he was supremely talented, always superb.

[@Vladimir_Pavlov]

It should have been pointed out that this is a 1991.) Now the master is 81 years old.

[@slippersgirl7715]

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this video. What a gift, what a treasure to watch the greatest male dancer of all time passing on his wisdom and knowledge. What an inspiring and generous teacher he is.

[@nandinirao6035]

What an inspirational teacher and a fabulous dancer! Old school classical ballet to the core, the discipline ,the difficulty coordinating every part of your body to make the whole movement so perfect. It’s only when you watch them at practice you realise just how difficult ballet really is. Bravo to this amazing teacher who even at his age can give the youngsters a run for their money. A perfectionist to the core!👏👏👏👏

[@martinfriedman5072]

There is no one to compare! ABSOLUTELY NO ONE!

[@L-Ondee]

Thank you so much for this!!!!!! This is a true DANCE class. He teaches them how to dance, not how to execute steps. “dance immediately“! He is one of the masters of personified dancing. It is enough that he stands there and explains and he is more present and more fascinating than anybody else even when they perform. I love it!

[@emitch9213]

Great class, gentlemen! A joy to see Vasiliev teach!

В. Васильев - это легенда русского балета! Владимир Васильев учит настоящему танцу. Но, хотелось бы восхититься концертмейстером, который так классно подбирает репертуар! От концертмейстера зависит многое, а, главное, желание заниматься, танцевать.

[@KonvolutaN]

Смотришь на Васильева, - и кажется, что по-другому не бывает, настолько гармоничен и естественен! А в сравнении очевидно, что Васильев - гений!

[@gavrinmahaffey3656]

Marvelous teacher!and great pianist 👍

[@veracruz7954]

Such a great joy to watch this ! Classical ballet at its purest ! BRAVO Mr. Vasiliev ! 👏🏼🌟💕🥰🇧🇷

[@viktoriaironpride4977]

There is no comparison here, but according to an old saying, some of Vasiliev's students might become as great as he, because they had one advantage Vasiliev did NOT have--himself as a teacher! Amazing virtuoso!

[@pediatrapaola]

all them are top dancers moscow classical ballet

[@Laurelberninteriors]

@@pediatrapaola - Yes, but top *retired* ballet dancers who are in their 50s now. This video is over 30 years old. I recognize Nikita Shcheglov, now a ballet master at the Mariinsky. There's a video of him giving a gorgeous barre and a few center exercises. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnmtn5KtodNorM0 I only found it a few weeks ago, so I especially enjoyed seeing him in class when he was younger.

[@pediatrapaola]

@@Laurelberninteriors sorry but not sheglov ( that l also saw live at his kirov time ) all these guys are from the MOSCOW CLASSICAL BALLET that at that time was a relly strong company -

[@Laurelberninteriors]

@@pediatrapaola - Yes, you are right. They list the names at the end. The 4th is Konstantin Durnev, but he looks so much like Shcheglov, and the age is correct, as well, I thought it had to be him.

[@ciebellesdances8404]

Marvellous dancer who knows every thing on mouvement: il is the perfect russian dance technic to really dance!! shoulders, hips, helping the jumps, the turns, and so on to dance beautifully!! Young dancers are very very good but they have not already this science of mouvement and suden balance, suden equilibrium and stops, for instance… they like jump all this difficulties and they will feel what does the finish and the conviviality with arms or also, help with arms ! Bravo!!

[@hugotalksfragrance]

Amazing video good translation!!!

[@voraciousreader3341]

Vasiliev was such an icon even before this class that I wouldn’t have been able to do anything but look at him like a halfwit, lol! I don’t have favorites in the fine arts....if I think someone is amazing at singing or playing or dancing one piece, there are always others who are amazing, too, and who bring a different perspective and interpretation to it. I find this process so interesting, and I feel people who have one idol and who watch others only to put the, down insufferable. But when it comes to male danseurs, Vasiliev always seems to edge others out, except for Irek Mukhamedov....he is right up there, in my estimation. Both are so physically dominant, but becoming the character seems to be of utmost importance to them.

[@pediatrapaola]

Wonderful dancer, one of the greats. There must be something in the name Vasiliev’. I think the younger Vasiliev is great as well. Terrific personality through his dancing. Loved his pairing with Osipova, they made a stage duo that was hard to beat. Perhaps because they weee an j them at the time. How did I get on the Rohan- apologies - this should be about this man. Truly, one of the greats in the ballet 🩰 world 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Very bad subtitles, not of the international standard and is hard to read - it’s not hard to do a proper job!!!

[@normamimosa5991]

Such an inappropriate comment. Firstly, you are very lucky to have access to this video without paying for it. Secondly, you are even luckier to get any translation, with Konstantin Durnev (who was in the class) taking the time to translate it for our (and your) benefit. The subtitles are easily understood for ballet dancers; and you can always stop the video if you are a slow reader.

[@musicloverlondon6070]

@@normamimosa5991 Agreed. Kind of Mr Furnev to take the trouble. I found the subtitles informative and easy to read. Maybe more technically knowledgeable people are aware of gaps somewhere, I don't know. However, this unique video is great and the subs were very helpful. Thank you to the uploader and to Konstantin Furnev for this. 🙂👍 Edit: Kudos to the dancers in the video. Some impressive dancing shown, including those amazing jumps in what seems to be quite a small practice room. Perilously close to the wall/barre at times it seemed though!

[@gonefishing167]

Wow, I’ve saved this for later. So happy to see this. A magnificent dancer ! Hope these students realise how lucky they are. Good wishes to all students for their futures. 🩰🩰🩰🩰🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
