@lifeof.lori: Im not complaining. These taught me and my classmates discipline. It helped me so much in the long run and in all areas of my life. #ballerina#ettiquette#balletetiquitte#rules#russianballet#russianballetschool#vaganova#dancer#strict#balletschool#carmen#fyp

we could never sit. even if we were switching shoes you'd have to kneel if need be. lambs wool and toe pads were frowned upon.

One dance school I was at didn’t allow wearing watches or any jewellery. Nothing that could possibly distract us from class

My Cecchetti school in late 50s and 60s was the same. Black leotard, and pink tights and shoes. Never anything else.

the waiting on water part seems like it could be dangerous hopefully they'd make an exception if a student was really needing it

Sounds like the ballet teacher I had in England! Totally relaxed in tap and jazz with those teachers and then the strictness of the ballet teacher 😂 she threw cassette tapes at us and smoked in class

That was strict? Tbh I thought it was pretty standard, then again I have only been to 2 ballet schools before so I don’t have the full experience

i don’t really see these rules as strict and my studio is pretty chill, for me it’s just basic respect

Same experience! Simply discipline and that’s a good thing. And saying thank you by the end of the class for the lesson and good bye Mrs. XY or Mr. XY. I miss the time and my ballet classes. 😌🙏

My daughter’s studio is also Russian based and has the same rules. They are good life lessons and teach respect and discipline.
