- Hello Everyone!
I know a lot of you would love to get an insight of what it's like to be coached by a Vaganova teacher. Here I will translate for you what the legendary teacher Ludmila Kovaleva is correcting and analysing on legendary ballerina herself Olga Smirnova.
This was filmed for a Japanese masterclass video.

12:06 I really like that even when Olga stumbled and lost balance, Kovaleva didn't immediately yell or make Olga stop. Instead she let Olga finish the whole movement, and even complimented Olga in the following part. That's what dancers are supposed to do, whenever a mistake happens they have to push through and keep delivering.
I could tell by her arms before she started that she wasn't going to make it...weak noodles
I always felt that coaches are for things you can't see yourself. You can tell you stumbled obviously, no need to rub it in. Alignment and technique are a different story, you need someone who can see that and who knows what they're looking for
So agree with you, artistry feeling the movements and the music rather than lool 4 pirouetttes but no musicality, Absolutely beautiful.
These teachers are so dedicated. What great coaches
Mrs. Kovalaeva is teaching her musicality, to listen to a music and feel the accent! Amazing!
Absolutely beautiful record, even raw rehearsal like that Olga is still beautiful. And Kovaleva it's such a great and expressive teacher❤ mine is like that and I am lucky for that. Thank you for translating the video it's so useful to hear such a good corrections even though if you are not doing the variation 💗
Wow, Kovaleva is still so incredibly strong and beautiful! I think she could still perform a variation!! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Isabella, and all the best for the New Year! 🎉
I love these videos so much, they are so incredibly helpful (if only I could speak Russian!). This kind of coaching with the attention to detail as well as clarity I’ve not seen before. Thank you for translating and being so lovely and just as precise and passionate yourself ❤
Ms. Kovaleva is absolutely fantastic, it is a fortune to have her for a theacher/coach! Smirnova is a lucky girl!
I wish my ballet students had Olga's work ethic and passion!
So great to watch this. No wonder they are so good. No stones goes unturned. OMG she is so gorgeous when she is performing. I love how the movement expands and doesn't stop. She includes her head, upper body, and arms in the expansion. Perfection.That last pose! OMG
Isabella, you said "стой" instead of "stay" )) Love it!
Such a gift! Loving this series 💕
Thank you so much for your work, the translation is priceless.
Wonderful to watch a great dancer take instruction from a great teacher. Very moving!
OMG, Isabella, you know russian very well! I didnt know that. Big respect from russian girl. Your translation is perfect!
Thank you ❤
Yea she’s great. She was at Vaganova for 4 years from a relatively young age and completely immersed in the language, so not too surprising. Def the best way to learn.
@@roastedpepperyes, I know that) But I know some guy from New Zealand. He live here (in SPb) since 2016-2015 and still know nothing in russian) So arrogant. Thats why I have so much respect about Isabella knowing russian so well. A lot of people dont. Even if they are living here
Love all the lessons from Vaganova!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for sharing this. I don't know the Russian Language. However I found that I understood what she was saying even if you weren't translating. Which is so fascinating. Just by her demonstrating with the music, I believe I would have understood.🤗💝💝
Amazing work, thank you so much for the translation ! I hope we will have more videos of coaching from legend to legend.
Wow, that was amazing. I’ve always wondered what it was like during rehearsals. I’ve only just watched graduation classes and performances. Thank you Isabella ❤
This was beautiful to watch! Thank you. And yes, too much focus on the number of pirouettes these days.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for doing this, it was wonderful to experience all the nuancethrough your translation! (Also, as a translator of Japanese, the subtitles were an unexpected bonus for me). Can't wait to see more in this series!!
Such an amazing video! Thanks for translating this gem
I found the last video you did with you and Sintikova more insightful in terms of technical corrections and getting a glimpse of the teaching style in Vagnova, but this video was also super valuable.
Through listening to you speak about it and reminisce it really helps portraying the bigger picture, what it was like going to Vaganova mentally and emotionally.
I think that’s because my teacher genuinely gave me a lot more corrections! Which I appreciated! 😍 Olga by this stage was a year ahead and more “ready” it was more of a showcase than an actual lesson. My lesson felt a lot like an actual normal day to day class which was great. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
So excited to watch her in theatres as giselle!
How tall is Olga?
I can't hear your voice - only Kovaleva's on the video... I wonder why not?
TIL when to use раз, rather than один.
Раз is used when counting. Один would be used when are saying one pirouette. 😊
@@balletwithisabella Изабелла, Вы, действительно, хорошо знаете русский язык, если можете различать "раз" и "один"! Спасибо!
Вот кого надо на При де Лозанн приглашать репетировать классику - Ковалёву.. а не французских тренеров.
Do you think that you could be better than Olga if you wouldnt ve a foreigner there?
I don’t even think about these things. We are all our own selves and we just try our best. I am always inspired by Olga and I just tried to be better than I was the day before. 😊
