AFP Photo ? @torbalancho - Moscow's ballet studios: where careers take flight - #ballet
.
In a small studio in northern Moscow, girls as young as three in tutus and pointe shoes practise their ballet moves in front of a mirror.
.
Lined up on their mats, the youngsters have no difficulty stretching their legs up over their heads -- let alone doing splits.
.
The studio is one of dozens in the Russian capital, home to some of the world's best ballet troupes. Many are run by former professional ballerinas.
.
Children and teenagers meet at the studio in a Soviet-era community centre three times a week for classical ballet classes.
.
They are overwhelmingly girls, their long hair tied tightly in buns high on their heads.
.
"We have boys, but unfortunately not many," the studio's director and former ballerina Oksana Mironova tells AFP. She proudly adds that one boy she taught is now a dancer at the Bolshoi Theatre.
.
Mironova herself started out at a ballet school in Saratov, a city on the Volga river. She went on to train at a Saint Petersburg academy, where she was taught by Russia's legendary prima ballerina Natalia Dudinskaya.
.
After a 10-year career in Moscow, she suffered a knee injury that stopped her from dancing, and opened a ballet studio in 2001.
