Ballet - is forever.

Ballet - is forever. After 25 years of working in the theater of operetta and opera Svetlana works as a teacher of ballet. It supports, instructs, and always inspired her love of this incredibly complex dance. With her students she works out every move with them, dancing and working at the ballet barre. Svetlana very strict teacher. But, probably, otherwise it can not be art. You can not without difficulty, effort, patience and pain. And it is impossible without love. And when classical music coming from the speakers husky, fills every cell of the body, the legs themselves are trying to take the fifth position.
