Brutally difficult exams. These young dancers are all extremely accomplished. Congratulations to all!

The brunette that was always front center is a star. Fabulous lines, amazing technique, gorgeous point and a joy to watch.

[Svdz]

I agree brutally difficult exam ! I haven’t seen a more difficult exam anywhere in the world. The Russians are absolutely top class in ballet !! These girls are stunning dancers. There are always little imperfections but that’s what dance makes it so beautiful. Otherwise just put some robots to dance !

Congratulations to Maria Koshkaryova 🌼 and to all the 2023 Vaganova Graduating Class 🎉 who are now on a path to doing greater things! Thank you for sharing.

[PaigeBartholomew]

Not only are your dancers some of the best I’ve seen, but they are some of the most beautiful. Thank you for not requiring them to be emaciated. They’re not too skinny. In fact many of them have breasts! There’s nothing more beautiful than a curvy ballerina! Thank you so much for bringing such beauty into the world of dance for us all!

[An_Gold]

Thank you for the video. Beautiful girls, I wish them all success and great health.

Хотелось бы узнать, как чувствует себя девочка, которая упала. Надеемся, что все обошлось.🙏

[mafermelandri]

sofya is such a beautiful dancer! i really like her body lines, she somehow reminds me of ulyana lopatkina 💌

[курррраторррр]

Поздравляю всех преподователей ! Отличная работа ! Здоровья Вам и вашим ученицам
❤

[applesidertea]

Even the ladies in the very back are stunning—that’s how you know they’re good!

[Olgamussi]

Какой же это труд, а сколько еще труда предстоит в театре. Сил девочкам 😊

[Christina_]

I always danced my worst during exams bc of the pressure. They’re all gorgeous to me.
