Academy coach Olga Frolova shares her impressions after watching The Nutcracker at the Mariinsky Theatre

After watching The Nutcracker at the Mariinsky Theatre as part of the Christmas training camp, Academy coach Olga Frolova shared her impressions. 

"A wonderful atmosphere, very interesting set design, very interesting production, costumes, excellent actor preparation, I would like to note. We liked it very much. We appreciated the technical component and the artistic one too. We like it very much. Thank you very much," Olga said. 

The coach explained what rhythmic gymnastics and ballet have in common and how visiting the Mariinsky Theatre will help our gymnasts. 

"It is very interesting, useful to see a real Russian school of ballet. The Mariinsky Theater has always been famous for good productions, wonderful artists, and I think that this will be beneficial. Even we see in the performances some elements that are present in our rhythmic gymnastics, so it will even be an incentive for them somewhere," she said. 

The Christmas training camp was organized by the founders of the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy.
