Opinion of Anna Leonova about teaching ballet in Moscow
Concerning classical dance training in the capital, Anna Leonova, a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater, expressed her opinion: “Moscow gives birth to real stars - unique dancers, choreographers and choreographers. Russian ballet is an art with a touch of drama. So consider all over the world. In 2013, Russian ballet turned 240 years old. I am proud that I studied at a legendary educational institution. "
On tour, and just traveling, Anna always attends ballet. In her opinion, people from the oldest metropolitan academy of choreography can be seen right away. They have amazingly placed arms and back. Nobody in the world can do that anymore. This is a hallmark of Russian ballet.
The festival in honor of the 200th anniversary of classical dance was indicative. It was called “Three Centuries of World Ballet” and was held in the Kremlin. The festival was attended by young dancers from around the world. They showed modern choreography, which was very interesting. No one, except for Russian students, could show a classical production.
