5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful and Instructive
Very instructive to watch teaching methods used in training and practices at one of the world best Russian ballet. The 40 minutes long video shows how some of the world best professional ballet dancers are trained and their daily routine designed to keep them in great shape and to allow them to achieve world class ballet performances. Delightful to watch.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth watching
This home-made-movie style rehearsal presentation is of poor quality and most certainly not worth the 20 viewing minutes or $24.95 price tag. The rehearsal of the grand pas de deux was routine and the instructions for dancer improvement was given in a very muted Russian, which made it useless for non-Russian speaking viewers. Watching a rehearsal should be instructional...

5.0 out of 5 stars Rare glimpse, January 27, 2009
By 
Darius (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews
It is rare to see dancers at this high level submit to being filmed as they go through their daily exercises under the ballet master's tutelage. These exercises enable them to achieve the artistic mastery they display when executing the choreography of the classic ballet roles. As a student or balletomane, when you find yourself before such events, you must open your eyes and go to them not ask them to come to you. 40 minutes of pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Russian Best Ballet, January 11, 2009
This video presents one of the best Russian State Ballet Theatre with it principals who performs daily ballet class to stay in great shape for stage. Video designed to watch grace and beauty of dancers and enjoy it. There is no instructions as moves of dancers are so precise and complete that it makes this video very special and just pleasure to watch.

The rehearsal of the grand pas de deux was routine and the instructions for dancer improvement was given in a very muted Russian, which made it useless for non-Russian speaking viewers. Watching a rehearsal should be instructional as well as showing the viewer the immense hard work the dancers put in to learning their roles. I was greatly disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth buying, July 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Russian State Theatre Ballet Class (Amazon Instant Video)
I rented this thinking I might learn a thing or two. I was wrong! the barre my teacher sets is more difficult than what the students here demonstrate. There is also a rude student who kept disrupting the teacher. Center work is beyond simple as well. Nothing fancy. I was disapointed.
