Private Feedback from Daniil Simkin
"Your training and consistency is key!"
Sylvie Guillem
For the first time since her retirement, Guillem gives such an interview at her home, inviting Daniil Simkin to chat amongst olive trees, pastures, and her pets. She talks about her childhood, her relationship with Nureyev, and her experiences at the Paris Opera Ballet. She discusses her state of mind during her career and her current lifestyle.
Sylvie Guillem is one of the most acclaimed dancers in the history of the dance world. With her flexible and strong body, beautiful legs, and rich expressive power, she transformed the image of conventional female dancers. She revolutionized classical ballet, pioneering a new model of classical ballerina. At a time when contemporary and modern dance was not associated with classical ballet dancers, she took on new works one after another and became the multi-talented dancer as we know her today.

General
What is Dance-Masterclass?
Dance Masterclass is an online dance training platform that allows anyone to learn from the best dancers and choreographers in the world.
Each Dance Masterclass teaches a specific, in-demand topic to improve your dance skills.
For example, "PIROUETTES" is taught by Daniil Simkin, one of the best in the world when it comes to turns. The "FLEXIBILITY" class is taught by Anna Ol, who has managed over many years to increase her flexibility and extensions and become a world star ballerina.
These world-renowned masters share their vital knowledge and personal experience in each lesson, along with helpful exercises and practical advice.
The structure and content of the masterclasses are developed together with the masters, professional dance experts and sports physicians to achieve healthy and efficient learning for all skill levels.
Who is this for?
All Dance Masterclass films offer educational and inspirational content for everyone.
However, we consider the content particularly relevant for 3 groups of people:
DANCE STUDENTS - From beginner to advanced, all classes are created in such a way that it has a great learning impact for all skill levels.
PROFESSIONAL DANCERS - The world leading professional dancers give personal advice and tips for young professionals to help them bring out their best and make it to the top.
TEACHERS - The content of the classes is designed to have an educational impact. The lessons are thought out in a didactic way and are already used by many teachers and schools on our platform to pass on this vital knowledge to their students. We have a special offer for people from schools and educational institutions. See here.

Lessons
(Pointe Shoes Masterclass)
1. Lesson: Be ready
Performing a variation at a competition is a great opportunity as a dancer. However, being able to deal with pressure and the surprises of a competition are key to dancing your best.
I share with you a story from my Varna competition and the lifelong lessons it taught me.
2. Lesson: My beginning
I come from a family that respected the arts, but my mother didn't believe dancing could be a career.
I decided at a relatively late age that I wanted to be a ballerina and in this lesson I explain what it took to achieve my dreams.
3. Lesson: How to master competitions
Classical ballet competitions are high intensity and very demanding; it is easy to become overwhelmed.
I share my experiences in these extreme situations and how I learned to cope and perform my best.
4. Lesson: Choosing your pointe shoes
There are so many options when it comes to choosing your pointe shoes.
I will give an overview of various brands and explain how I ended up choosing my shoes after years and years of searching.
5. Lesson: Making your pointe shoes Part I
I go in depth about how I prepare my pointe shoes. I'll show you the tools I use, how to order shoes specifically for your needs, and how I prepare my shoes to be long-lasting and stable.
6. Lesson: Making your pointe shoes Part II
From elastics, to ribbons, to how to customize shoes for slippery stages, I'll walk you through tips so that your shoes become not just something you wear on your feet, but extensions of your lines.
7. Lesson: Making your pointe shoes Part III
And what about your feet inside your shoes? Dancers must face demanding hours on pointe. I'll show you how I take care of my feet and shoes for a long day of rehearsals or performances and also how to make your shoes last from one amazing performance to another.
8. Lesson: Pointe training
To excel as a ballerina, it is imperative to have strong pointe work.
I will demonstrate some exercises that have been crucial to building the strength and grace that I need on stage.
9. Lesson: Sleeping Beauty variation
I perform Aurora's wedding variation from Sleeping Beauty, a beautiful, but technically tough solo often danced in classical competitions.
10. Lesson: Analysis of Sleeping Beauty variation
Who is Aurora? And what is this solo about?
I examine my performance in detail. I break down the technical and artistic challenges it proposes and the choices I've made to refine it for myself.
11. Lesson: Giselle variation
I perform one of the quintessential female solos in classical ballet: Giselle's first act variation.
12. Lesson: Analysis of Giselle variation
How does Giselle tell her story? What are the keys to this variation?
I'll review this variation and share my insights into her character as well as plenty of technical tips along the way.
13. Lesson: Body & Fitness
Every dancer has to deal with body image issues. I myself have struggled to learn to love my body and treat it with the care that it deserves.
In this lesson, I relate my story of dealing with these obstacles as well as some practical training to help strengthen your body.
14. Lesson: Personal Advice
I share what I learned when joining a new company where I didn't fit in right away and how it shapes me even today.
I also discuss the main forces that drive me forward and give me the strength to be my best.
