If you don't know who Ilyaballet is (Youtube-name), SHAME ON YOU! He is a teacher at the Bolshoi Academy and he has put HUNDREDS of video's on Youtube about the real life at that school.
Complete classes from all 8 years, boys and girls classes. Plus he is the teacher of Henry Perkins, an English student. In a lot of Ilya's videos we get a good look on Henry and can follow his progress.

Well, last time Ilya gave the camera to his students and they made movie called End of September. I put it here recently with the title Parents Watch Day at the Bolshoi school.

Again he gave the camera to his students and they filmed him. Put some speed in the film and called it Bolshoi Funny.

And if you still think the Bolshoi is a strict, hard, disciplined school, with crying anorexia's and mean teachers, look at 1:20. (sound on)
If you can do that to your teacher, plus he puts it on the internet.... HE'S OKAY!
