Galina Potdykova
Galina Potdykova - Bolshoi ballet dancer, choreographer. In 2001 she graduated from the Moscow State Academy of Choreography and was accepted into the Bolshoi Ballet Company. Currently, she is a teacher-choreographer.
Galina admits that in her childhood and adolescence, she did not follow the diet too much, she could afford to overeat doughnuts, milkshakes, and buns. Understanding and control came with age. This, firstly, was facilitated by the control weighing in the school. If the scales showed an advantage, you had to forget about any indulgences to your beloved, and for a long time. It was a real test for nerves. Secondly, respect for your partner. Ballet dancers perform in pairs, which means that the extra pounds of a partner will interfere with productive work for both. Finally, says Potdykova, the ballerina herself will not want to go on stage if something is wrong.
Galina says that it is really difficult for ballerinas to get better - constant rehearsals, and no one cancelled chores. When you don't have time to sit down, there is little chance of gaining weight. It was not always possible to eat a full meal either, Galina between rehearsals ran into the buffet and grabbed coffee with chocolate. That's all the food! Now the artist has three sons, a lot of work and movement, so she does not gain even a gram.
