    First American to graduate from the Bolshoi Academy

    Cool news story, sort of a big deal in the ballet world.

    Holy moly at those weight caps though.

    A measure of the school's ethos is its strict caps on the students' weight: 96 pounds for those who are 5'6", for instance. Ballerinas tipping the scale at 110 pounds are not allowed to participate in a duet [pas de deux] class, but are required to observe it.
    Bolshoi is hardcore

    Very cool.


    You guys might like this video. It's called "Body of a Dancer" and it's video but shot using a high speed camera.

    Never attached a video to a forum before. I hope it works.
