Hooked on watching Russian Ballet lately. That really is eccentric! I saw a very interesting documentary by Director Bertrand Normand. I happened to accidentally find on Netflix and You Tube. The film is dated 2009. It traces the start of a ballerina's life in Russia from their selection process at age 10 for eight years and their young, short lived career
s as prima ballerinas. The selection process chooses 30 girls from 100 applicants and only 15 usually complete the grueling training. The most well renown school is Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet.
It is unbelievable the devotion and discipline they have. Very inspiring film. In my opinion, the most beautiful and exquisite to watch perform is Diana Vishneva. She became a prima ballerina after only one year out of the academy which is a rare accomplishment. She currently is in the Russian ballet as well as the American Ballet. She also has a fabulous layout in Russian Vogue you can google. The film is simply entitled
Ballerina.
For anyone residing in St. Louis...the Fox Theatre has ballets usually once a year for you to enjoy!
Check it Out!
