Well I was doing some searching and then I suddenly landed on Natalie Gubanova's public website... Gubanova is a Vaganova Graduate of the year 2003 meaning that she was in the same class as Alina Somova and Elena Vostrotina Anyways, she had some really nice pictures of her class outside of ballet class and on tours and I thought it would be great to share since we then see that Vaganova students we usually see them in class. This time we can see that the Vaganova students are normal people too and not perfect people and that they have like a normal life... but anywayz here are some!!!

Do you see Elena Vostrotina? (Left Side with the longest legs ever!!


Alina Somova furthest back and Elena on the right of her

Awesome post! I love seeing dancers, especially amazing one, in their life outside of dance. The photos are great. Thanks for sharing hip2hopgirl!

great pics... thanks!

hahaha, I have to say: I love dancers in their sloppy clothing. I wasdoing the Nutcracker with the Hong Kong ballet, and all the company members were dressed in their giant jumpers and slippers, like they are in one of the pictures.

Giant walking teddy bear dancers! Yay! Haha

They look so happy and like they're having so much fun! Thank you for the pictures. Where did you get them?

ohh these are great pictures! I love the beach picture..Elena's legs are soo pretty! It is so nice to see ballerinas outside of class and balletwear.

Those pictures are so cool, and yes, Elena Vostrotina has the longest legs I've ever seen! Such fun, thanks for sharing!

GORGEOUS pics! They make me so jealous though..especially Elena's with her looooong legs! I officially feel short and stubby now...;-)

Did you guys notice that in the black and white pic, the girls are standing in ballet positions?

Once a dancer...always a dancer.

Hey, nice found!! Great to see that the Vaganova students are not only ballet fairies, but real young people.

By way, never heard of Natalie Gurbanova, liked her pics, all they all taken by her? She´s got some truly gorgeous pictures of Saint Petersbourg there (throught most of them in the russian version of her site)

oh, sooo cool Hip2hopgirl!
It´s cool to see them outside the ballet school...but you still can see that they are ballet dancers

Dancers always look so dancer. lol. Look at the beautiful bowed legs on the beach. Look at how they lift their head on pics, how wide they open their legs when sitted, how "automatic" they get to 3rd and 5th position... and... not forgetting the turn out. giggles. cool.
