she should dance giselle
Expression <3
She's talented. Really talented, and her dance is fluid. Good, girl!
Atonishing!😱😱😭❤️
She is beautiful and has way way better feet than me
never seen this esmeralda variation
btw her name is gisele not giselle
She should be a soloist in a company. Not competing with the rest of the humans.
Giselle is the perfect example of a perfect ballerina! She has an amazing pointe and she is so dedicated to dance! I can watch her dance all day and not be bored. She just has the shimmer and sparkle that makes the whole audience fall silent! She also makes everything look so easy!
Xnsbchialfmxnsk how does anyone dislike this???!!!!!!!
No one can do this variation better. Her teacher was a genius to do an uncommon variation and own it
That was amazing.
The people who disliked this were the people who didn't get into finals…
Все прекрасно, но смущает размер ее обуви…?
No wonder why she was the talk of the town!!

Her arches are *gorgeous*. This variation is also not a common one at competitions which makes it all the better! (The judges are probably so tired of watching like 600 Kitri Act 3/Aurora Wedding/Black Swan variations lol)
Impressionante este universo fantástico que é o ballet clássico. Não é só a música maravilhosa, os divinos pas de deux de uma excelente Valentina Koslova em LA FILLE MAL GARDEÉ, cena 8, 18,19 e 20;os guarda-roupas dessas companhias de real requinte que os bailarinos usam e cenário alegre que ele nos proporcionam, há também um toque de lirismo na linguagem corporal e, sobretudo, àquele toque sensual nos tornozelos das bailarinas ornados pela sapatilha e os respectivos laços de reais belezas. Não troco uma mesa requintada com os melhores vinhos e comida por um ballet clássico, inclusive os pas de deux de a LA FILLE MAL GARDEÉ com VALENTINA KOSLOVA: Cena 08,16(dança dos tamancos), cenas18,19 e 20.Prestemos uma vênia aos bailarinos e bailarinas,aos músicos de talentos, aos cenógrafos e, sobretudo, à arte da costura, A C O S T U R E I R A.
She was thirteen😶😍😍
👏👏👏💐💐💐
Волшебная девочка!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Should have trained in Russia and learned to love the dance
A Shame to waste get gift and leave the dance ballet is a marvellous art form
Can she really be only 13? She dances like an adult. Even a well-traveled veteran. Graceful, poised, and full of heart ❤.
She is so beautiful! I love this variation!
My teachers gonna make me do this-
Bad hands…I thought she was holding castanettes at first.
She makes it look so easy!
