  • Here's the full pointe work from our level 1 Vaganova exam, with our teacher Olga Semenova.
    We just learned how to get up on pointe (at 10-11 yo age), and not strong enough, but tried so hard!

    I’m amazed how perfectly they close in a perfect tight fifth each time. It’s super impressive for being new to pointe and in general even lots of principles don’t have perfect fifths. It’s more common with vaganova and bokshoi they screen for children who have the turnout and have been dancing since they were 3.

    I’m jealous. I wish I could’ve done ballet at a high intensity school like this. But of course the grass is always greener on the other side huh? I bet they spent all their free time practicing

      i have exactly the same envy.. i wish i'd been able to take more and better classes as a young child. my parents always saw it as a hobby, never pushed me and so i had only one hour of class per week until i was 18 :-(

    You can tell they have worked so hard to get to this point. I hope they all felt proud of their accomplishments even at this level, pointe is not easy.
    At the same time, I see a room full of dead shoes, incorrectly fitted shoes, obviously incorrect vamp lengths. I realize Russia was going through a very difficult time economically at this time, but I would have thought their prestigious ballet schools would have been better funded so that students would not have to settle for a shoe made for a different foot type than theirs and keep wearing that shoe when it is much to soft.

      From things I have read, I get the impression that having much variety in pointe shoes was (and to some extent still is) rare in Russia, also, having them last a long time was essential. Some of this I read in Monica Loughman’s book, I’m guessing that the scheme she went to Russia on was meant to bring money into Russia, but what she actually talks about is living a fairly deprived life and it must have been worse for the Russians. I’ve also heard of unusual darning techniques they used to make their shoes last.

      I saw the same. Terrified for these girls' ankles. And half of them look to young to be even en pointe at all, much less in the center and off the barre
