Nina Georgievna clapped her hands:

- Attention! Starting today, our lessons will be ... sometimes ... a stage artist - Boris Nikolayevich Bolshakov ... will be present ... He needs the sketches necessary for the performance. I beg! - Bestuzheva, with a movement of her hand, pointed Bolshakov to a chair that stood at the entrance.

Strengthening her voice, the choreographer turned to the female students: - No one, do not be distracted! We continue the lesson. Stood to the machine ...

Girly quickly dispersed along the rail of the dance machine.

- From the position of the number three ... do stretching. Started! And - one ... And - two ...

Bolshakov, moved the proposed chair closer to the window and, sitting comfortably on it, opened an album for drawing ...

...

After a warm-up exercise, the young ballerina started dancing steps.

First, each by itself, alone. Then they learned to dance in a pair, which the majority did not get very well coordinated.

However, there were already such that very well performed and pas-de-pa, and a jump from one foot to the other with a slight slip forward.

"Pas de Basque" - remembered this element of the ballroom dance Bolshakov ...

Bestuzheva paid special attention to such advanced girls. Showed the right turn of the head, the correct movement of the hip, arms, bending of the hand, the correct location of the fingers:

- Do not relax, girls, do not relax! And - a smile, a smile! ..

She went to the center of the class, showed how to do it. I forced her to repeat her movements, and to those who succeeded, she nodded approvingly: - Well done, sunshine! Let's repeat one more time ...

Bolshakov already understood that these promising asterisks are candidates for participation in Swan Lake.

To the surprise of the artist himself, his work went on.

With quick lines, he transferred the demonstration scenes of the master class to the sheets of the album, enjoyed the successful movement of the pencil, and did not grieve at all the rare failures. The creative process was promoted: both the setting and the vibrant inspiration of the models ...

...

When classes ended, ballerinas surrounded Bolshakov, considered sketches, and shared their opinions. We sincerely rejoiced in recognizing ourselves and also, without any doubts, were perplexed when they stumbled upon something crossed out or a scrubbed eraser.

- Why are you so? It almost happened ...

Bolshakov shrugged his shoulders:

- Almost, does not count ...

I looked at the sketches and Bestuzhev. Turned over the pages of the album, said: "Not so pessimistic ...", let the pupils go home and went to the choreographic machine.

Holding the handrails with one hand, she performed several simple stretches in each direction. Then, putting the foot on the railing, complicated this exercise.

Stretched enough, stood up several times on tiptoe. And, suddenly, she froze in a vertical twine, sweeping her raised leg behind her head!

In this amazing pose, she was more than a minute, allowing the muscle memory to remember each point of balance, so necessary for the dancer to be able to stand on one leg for a long time.

“Look how this mommy tries so hard for you,” said Petrovich to Bolshakov.

"The usual training for the classroom ballerina," replied "Boris."

Opinion "Petrovich" Bolshakov was nicer.

Inspired by vanity honey, he quickly transferred the executable Bestuzhevoy en aplomb to the sheet of the album with a quick pencil movement. It turned out the most successful sketch of today.

After the vertical twine, Bestuzheva made a short flik (movement of the foot on the floor to the supporting leg), turned her face to the mirror and began to perform exercises for the hands - from smooth movements to the illusion of a wave. In “Swan Lake” such plastic was especially necessary.

"Beautiful girl! I will not save him, as I want to plant her! ... "- Petrovich whispered to Bolshakov.

"We will plant our time for everything! ..." - rubbed the palms of "I".

“Do not interfere with seeing the beauty!” The impressionable “Boris” shushed at the “colleagues”.

Bolshakov, putting the album and pencil aside, admired the dancer, and barely listened to the opinions of the hypostases, reasoning options, how soon a woman, who is standing in front of him, agrees to change her husband ...

...

She remembered the presence of a soldier and Bestuzhev.

Some imp moved into her mind after a skirmish in the gym.

Defeated, she wanted revenge. Anyone. At least annoy the stubborn fool with the inaccessible beauty of the perfect body!

In the ballet school, they often did this with the so-called "patrons". It was funny to look at these licking faces, drooling of ill-concealed lust.

Knowing how good she is in certain positions, Nina Georgievna, with delight, snarled the soldier's nerves, enjoying the idea of ​​how much she now looks more desirable and better than Lenka Kalinina.

"Stop! And what about Kalinin? ”She asked herself. And then she found the answer: “Oh, besides! ...”

Trying not to express her curiosity about the reaction of the soldier, Bestuzheva performed the most spectacular poses at the machine, and through the mirror with crafty squinting watched Bolshakov, confident that he would certainly give himself away.

And he got caught!

Covered album right hand in the groin area ...

“And her thoughts were unfriendly about him,” Bestuzheva came up with the phrase, made a few fouette, shuddered, as if from a shot, and gently sank to the floor in the posture of a dying swan, with waves of arms, as if with a fluttering wing, covered her drooping body, and froze in waiting for applause ...

Bolshakov felt in the presence of a real miracle.

“Shut your mouth, the fly will fly” - advised “Petrovich”.

“People go to the theater for such a scene, money is paid. And here everything is close and alive ... "-“ Boris ”admired.

“Let him see and see, and spend the whole night driving his cock in his fist ...” - “the dying” prima thought, continuing to remain “dead”.

But, embarrassed by the vulgarity that was not peculiar to her, she added a bit of justice to the jargon of Moscow courtyards: “But she draws, the rogue is really not bad ...”

...

In a series of rehearsals, student Nina Georgievna got used to the presence of Bolshakov as an action taken for granted.

Bestuzheva noticed that she herself began to treat the artist more favorably. Painting the backdrop went nonstop. Classes he did not interfere.

On the contrary, in the presence of this guy, teenage girls became different.

Jealous eye Nina Georgievny noted that each of them tried to give all the best, to do the exercises with great persistence, wanting to be the very-most.

Remembering herself at their age, she knew that in young ballerinas a light of sympathy was waking up (if not even falling in love) for the first caring spectator of their future performance. In addition, it was not just a spectator, but a young beautiful artist!

And here Nina Georgievna watched especially strictly. Do not bring, Lord, if to one of the students of the soldiers will show lowland encroachments!

Whatever she did, no matter how busy the girls were, the draftsman’s persona did not disappear from the zone of her close attention.

Gradually, Bestuzheva calmed down and in this direction.

The soldier equally politely talked to all the twitterers, not singling out anyone in particular from their flocks. But her, Nina Georgievna, undoubtedly kept on sight. The “discovery” for a young ambitious woman must be, it seems, pleasant, but not for Bestuzhevoy.

Making sure that the result of her observation was correct, she decided that it was time to put all the dots over i.

The conversation took place after the end of the rehearsal, when all the girls left the dance class.

Bestuzheva, as always, worked out individually, looking in the mirror, as the draftsman reacts to her exercises, and having completed the intended program, she gracefully approached Bolshakov.
