ballet Don.Q Dulcinea's variation

[kewelgirl]

Her grace is beyond amazing and her control is incredible! She is way beyond her years, dancing like this at 14? Some professional ballet companies don't even have principle dancers who can dance this variation as well as her! I am so spellbound, she is beautiful!

[Papayaxproductions]

@DancerrChick she has gone far :) i'm 11 years old and i auditioned for the Hong Kong Ballet Nutcracker and I got in. She is Clara :) I love to watch her dance and i know she is way older than me but she is so cute!

[willdance13]

She is so graceful!

[jngwatson]

Lovely to watch.

[cleoneko]

She is now dancing in Hong Kong Ballet as a Soloist.

[danceiz4me]

her smile is beautiful

as well as her technique!

[dizzyballerina3]

wow she's only fourteen and she's just gorgeous! her lines are very nice

[00thebigkahlua00]

which Taoli competition is this from?

[jennyluvballet]

@00thebigkahlua00 I believe this is the 7th Taoli Competition.

[bulbskull]

I love how 1:00 - 1:12 her tutu bounces up and down! So beautifuL! I can't believe she's only 14! How long has she been dancing?

[DanceChica2008]

loooove the tutu!!!

[missithappendtoday]

im 14 and im no were near her level, wow! shes amazing!

[dancerbabe224]

[MultiMarloes]

your knees not bow them!!!

[monequu]

i'm 14 too, and I suck hard compared to her :((

[Juliex0x9]

[purpledancinyogo]

[hatenuandme]

[DancingGirl4ever]

very beautiful! i think she will be an amazing dancer in future because she's already stunning, there's definitely a bright future for her in ballet world!

[xXbealyXx]

I want her Tutu !!!

[o0alena0o0ballerina]

I want her technique

[dancer5616]

beautiful!!!!!!!

[lilmspriss]

she's fantastic! it seems like something weird happened at the end tho.

[HelloLynn123]

I just don't support children of this age being on this level, it just can't be good, although she has performed this so well!

[littlemissdance136]

Wow that's all I can say! She's great!!!!! Love the tutu!

=-)

[xxtwilightgurlxx]

so graceful! i love the tutu =P

[Danzer0695]

yep she is good ....she has a big future in ballet.

[GoodyGumDropzz]

WOW!!! im 14 and can only dream of EVER being that good...shes better than a lot of professionals i've seen dance. Shes gorgeous xxx

[esalazardance]

She is absolutely beautiful. And a lovely dancer.

[madiballet]

she 's beautiful

amaziing face

amazing

[FanOfRudyLenners]

amazing!!!! I don't support so young ballet dancers, but SHE is great!!! Greater than many ballerinas....

[RuddyWasHere]

Please post a video of yourself doing the same thing so i could laugh thinking "and you criticized her so much"...she's 14 good sake's give her some credit.

[xNayzelHazelx]

oh shut up she stumbled a tiny bit at the end. she is so good and only 14. well impressive.

[TinyDancer848]

Besides..it was a perfect variation is agree. The only reason she fell off on ONE pique is because she didnt get her weight over her supporting leg..a common flaw that is easily corrected. but for 14 that is just plain AMAZING

[xmariaballerina]

so pretty! i love this.

[balletgirl357642]

when did she stumble i did not notice

[xoangie03]

at the end! she bowed then lost her balance, probably because she was dizzy cause she does not know how to turn correctly

[PinkPjs26]

What do you mean "not know how to turn correctly?"

[xoangie03]

her pique turns. her arms and legs are not coordinated, and her working leg is too slow into the turn.

[TinyDancer848]

Is that you angela..its Daena...that would be really funny

[xoangie03]

ah no...i think you have the wrong person.

[Heartistic4Him]

She is a lovely dancer!! I love this variation and she performed it beautifully. AMAZING control and balance.

[nataljushechka]

Nice performance, very good presentation!!! On pose turns it is not her arms (they are fine), it is her weight placement a little bit behind.

[a7xfriends]

very good control. nicely done. i understand theres that little bit of stumbling in the end, but hey, xoangie03, give this 14 year old a break! jeeze. that was jus plain rude.

[XoRAWRRoX]

she reminds me of a barbie :D!!! in a good way of course lol

[Bunbun501c3]

Wow. Shes all legs.

[Farennah]

I really like her sweet smile!

[xoangie03]

ugly arms. and horrible ending. stumbling is not a step in ballet, sorry.

[balletgirl357642]

could you be any ruder i did not notice the stumble i thought that it was great!!!!

[balletgirl5396]

She's a great dancer! I loved her technique and stage presence. It's wonderful. I hope I can dance like her by the time I'm 14. (Yeah I think that's almost impossible.. :P)

[vanillabean001]

aw i really liked her! i do think that there is something wrong with the vid, however. it seems like you must have slowed the whole thing down i think. because when her tutu bounces it's definitely unnaturally slow. however, that has nothing to do with this girl's dancing! she was beautiful! i loveddddd her smile!!!

[anthypants372]

would have loved to seen the winner

[ptfauen]

yes, there will be only one Dame ever. ex rose adage partner.

[ptfauen]

it will come as she gets a little older don´t you think?

[balletlovist]

i'm 15 and i can't even say i'm that good yet lol amazing =]

[seigrandeale]

[AdiiLoki]

[ineytootz13]

[geckoarmy8]

Wow!! For only 14, she's CRAZY GOOD!

[hieveryone6687]

AMAZING for only 14 years old!!?!?! thats crazy! wow shes great. =]! <3

[swanningaround]

Very nice, Zhang! You hold yourself beautifully.

There are so many talented people in China. It seems that this is the country where the arts will be revived. There seems to be a tradition here, and not just commercializaton.

[Cherubfish]

Yes...especially when not as much people want to study arts these days...

Most rich people don't want to suffer and practice all those ballet...

[balletfreak329]

She looks much older than that. She has very long legs and is light on her feet. Great job!

[vousetmoipourlavie66]

elles est vraiment magnifique en plus j'adore cette variation!!!

[aircat29]

Gosh, i thought people from China are good in acrobatics ONLY.

[jowsbrazil]

Great lines and technique!

And beautiful expression!

[swanningaround]

[sallysegalene73]

[dlanda9241]

[ballerinanerd247]

[Beam261]

[starsandsons]

this dancer is stunning.

each movement she does flows into the next perfectly.

[avballerina]

[baa233]

[dlanda9241]

[Cstar375]

She makes those hops(not sure the technical term) on one foot look like they're so easy, effortless and natural. I love her expression.

music credit - music is by Drigo/Orch. by Lanchbery. Chor. by Gorsky. This var. was added by Gorsky to his 1903 revival of DON Q for Kschessinskaya (along with the so-called "fan var.", also by Drigo). The music is an orch. by John Lanchbery, done for Nureyev's stagings of "DON Q". The music comes from a CD of that version by the Orch. Victoria

[balletballet9]

how old is she?

[brunovitali]

elegansia que naum falta!

danço muito bem...

[hellochiewy]

she can dance well and that, but her arm shape is not really nice.

[toippo]

i did that danse for my recital kool

[cocovalko]

holy crap she is amazing. why cant i do that

[prn4ustat]

Amazing talent...beautiful...i guess i can only dream :-)

[ballerinaash6140]

she's so damn amazing!!!! i cant even imagine what she's like now!!!

[Tallyzip]

she is so not talented!

lol just kidding that was beautiful

[NikkiDreams]

I always hated those outfits when i danced... The way they bounce is soooo anoying

[attyheartsreaggeton]

very good

[swayofthewind]

i love the costume

and this gurl she dances so well, yes i know who she is...for that one kid who always asks

lol i loves it!

[BallerinaGirl21]

i liked everything except for the musica variation.. i don't know if you have noticed the changes but.. it kind of took something from the essence of this variation.. The music changes i didn't like.. the rest.. impecable! I did this variation myself just last year (and i'm already 22 =/) and i know it's very difficult and she did it just fine and with grace ! admirable really!

[Spitzenschuhe]

I don't like her arms - they're not "soft" enough

(in my opinion)

[tyedyedino]

That girl is insane!!! I wish I could dance like her :) She is really skinny

[ballerinette1]

14!!!

oh she's excellent! i lovet he tutu too :-)

[littlechristina]

It's 7th Taoli Cup,Chinese National Dance Competition in 2003.This girl was 15y.o then and won second prize in junior division B (age 14-15 or 16?not sure).The winner's performance can be seen at my video "ballet Sleepy Beauty".Sorry,Youtube forbid URL here. I also posted this girl's performance in 8th Taoli Cup in 2006 when she was 17:check my video titled "Black Swan Variation & Coda & Modern Dance Summer".She got second prize in junior division(age 16 or 17?-18).

[littlechristina]

Sorry everyone,I got wrong,the girl was 14 Y.O in this video,not 15.Her birthday is 02.19.1989,and this competition was in 2003.

[Amarventris]

very pretty to watch. I didn't see the sickling I was dreaming in balletland. The sum of any performance, no?

[amilou89]

Woow! This choreography of this dance is beautifull! I have a solo to this music and it is used for compertitions and I do really well with it, but I must same I'm not as good as her, obviously as she is a proffesional ance and I'm not, all though I am going to audition next year to hopefully get into a proffesional dance collage.

[jkuusk]

WOAH 15?? delicate arms, great arabesque.

JUST WOW.

[allie5991]

who are you people?? profession dance critics??

cant you just enjoy something without critising it?

geez

[iheartdance21]

shes only 15?!

[LauraSAB]

does anyone else agree the she sickles alot for being a prfessionall??

[littlechristina]

are you professional enough to say this?

[narcolepszzz]

Oh wow... gorgeous.

[BethanyLG]

I completely agree with xfrag1le. I can't believe she's only 15.

[rballettom]

She has such fantastic control!  beautiful variation, especially for a girl her age.

[dricafarma]

Lovely girl! She dances with a "pure" feeling that normaly we don't see in most of dancer... She seems so happy!!!

[BryndisSnae]

SHE IS 15 !?!? wow amazing and very controlled and strong performance

[gohdancer]

I love it that she actually looks like she is having fun! That's something missing from a lot of dancers now a days

[0t0ku]

I wish the Asian ballet companies would place jetes and other leaps in their competeing dancer's work. Definately more turns. Many have I seen where arabesques and hops were the main parts.

Fabulous dancer for her age. VERY strong ankles. Her detication is shown.

[pinkballet]

very professional!

[sugarsweet87]

She's amazing for an 15 year old.
