You bitches sound jealous as hell. How many of you got accepted to a ballet academy on a scholarship. You guys sit back and talk about arches and shit like they MATTER, but this girl has a genuine gift in excellent extension, and that's not good enough for you guys?
I went to DTH with Michaela in 2007 when i was 17.. shes always been a great dancer but legs are not what is all about. I applaud michaela for her talents tho and before you guys start talking mess im not hating. Also she was supposedly 13 when we were at DTH there is no way she is still 13..
@peanutbutter4490 no hun I was not 13 back then. Rumor's are rumors. If you don't believe me, ask the people who are always with me. Maybe I acted older back then because I thought that was the "cool" thing so maybe thats why you thought I was 13.
Okay so that Anna girl who keeps trashing Michaela.... You need to go somewhere because I have seen a lot of sucky Claras so just because you're Clara doesn't mean ANYTHING! Alston McGill went to the Rock last year and she did one of their contemporary pieces and she has a FULL scholarship to School of American Ballet.... More than you have....
It's crazy how much criticism you're all dishing out to a young dancer who has so much potential! If she didn't have talent and if her dancing was so "lousy", she wouldn't have been awarded a scholarship, would she?
She is prob. the most physicaly gifted dancer i have seen on here!! She has all the tools to be a very good dancer in the near future! I think people are scared of talent when it not packaged in the body or face that they want!!
i cant believe all of you people saying that she "is lousy" or "nobody cares about her extensions" because a) she is fantastic. controlled, flexible, and makes it look damn easy. and b) she didnt choreograph it so shut up! and also, theres a good chance youre just racist. honestly. if she were pale and blonde, you'd think she was great. but look past that, she is amazing. better than a lot of those "pale blonde" dancers out there.
She's so good. It's funny how most people making rude comments couldn't do 10% of what she did and not nearly as well. Don't forget, ballet is art, you can do as many leg holds as you want want when you have this kind of talent, and unless your Judith Jamison keep your extremely negative stylistic criticism to yourself. Lastly, if she is competing in the Grand Prix, she's a child, not a professional, CALM DOWN people.
Yeah, @elkerlove1 michaela is fabulous and you cant say shes not. Yes she has good extension! I am sure yours isnt like hers!!!!!!!! AND TO YOU @ROSAILEROX247! THT IS RUDE YOU PROBALY ARE ALL JEALOUS! tHE CONTENT OF CONTEMPORARY AT YAGP IS TO SHOW OFF WAT THE STUDENT CAN DO! SHE MAY HAVE LIFTED HER LEG ALOT BUT THE JUDGES LIKED IT! THATS IS WHY MICHAELA WON YAGP! AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY IS STYLE AND EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT STYLE!!!!!!!! MICHAELA DONT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE! CONTINUE TO ROCK!!!!!!!
i dont find her transitions TERRIBLE i find the choreography a bit a strange!! but i find her more of an ailey dancer more than a prima ballerina in the american ballet
@coldzngirl12 No, don't get me wrong--you're clearly a beautiful dancer. I just think that it would have been more appropriate for this particular competition if there had been less leg holds and more classical technique, even if it is a contemporary ballet piece.
nice dance. I love your extensions, turns and leaps (can't come even a teensy bit near you). but, personally I would've liked to see more levels, like some floor work and stuff. just my opinion.
Amazing facility and talent!!!! I am so glad I stumbled upon your videos. You have truly made my night. It is such a pleasure, honor, and relief to see someone so talented. Congratulations! I wish you all the best. :) You're beautiful!!!!!!!!
i hate when people talk about how some dancers put their leg up a lot... most of them who talk shit are the ones struggling to put their legs up half as high! Keep it up!!!! AND you are only 13 right here! Work girl! and I congratulate you for being able to turn and jump even though you are so gumby! I live for you and look forward to seeing you even better than this in the future! =)
there's no refinement in her dancing, no elegance. she has SOOOO much potential with such amazing flexibility, turns, etc...but once you get past the shock factor of her extensions and age, you realize that there's no grace
the same thing,leg leg this isnt contemporary i cud giv this piece to a rhythmic gymnast and thy cud do it,,,,,,,,,,,alicia graf, mistyy copeland, aisha ashe all gr8 african american dancers,,,,look to them all gr8 xtension and phenominal technique
she's obviously VERY talented for her age. but she really needs to work on her grace. she has a muscular build, so when she lifts her shoulders and does funny things with her arms, she looks stiff and awkward. her turns and flexibility are amazing though. perhaps a bit much at times. the choreography is a bit rough. it's just leg lifts and pirouettes with a few transition steps in between. it definitely needed some more week
She has a lot of potential!! The coreography was a bit acrobatic, in my opinion, but she carried it out with a lot of strength! I don't see the connection with the name of the coreography though... Keep working and I am sure you will make it! Well done!
beautiful legs and leaps, but I'd love to see more dancing. I understand it's a competition and you want to win, but it was lacking something. But other than that, you are only 13-14? You will grow into a superb dancer.
wow! sooo much potential! once her body matures a little more and she becomes even more experienced, she'll be UNBELIEVABLE!!!! you are going places kid, i know it:D
dancing is not defined by how high you legs go not to mention the same movements,sau de chat,s and developes,,,,,,,,yes nice xteneions but not strong enough technique but has potential,,jus bein honest not hating,,,
You are such a great dancer and this music is beautiful but the choreography is lacking and dull. I feel like you have more to offer and l want to see so much more from you. Very talented!
Amazing extensions definitely a future Alonzo King's Lines Ballet dancer BUT . . . come on now wheres the artistry in kicking your leg to your head way too much of that this dance doesn't turn into a dance this turns into a drill team competition dance every 2 seconds was a leg that is not dance.
omg, the potential is insane!!! i agree though that there are way too many kicks and jumps and not enough attention to making the transitional steps part of the dance as opposed to a mechanism for getting from one trick to the next. all in all, i was very impressed.
it even states in the yagp rules and regulations that a contemporary is supposed to show off the dancer's strengths and that is obviously one of her strengths. Besides, I only counted 12.
You bitches sound jealous as hell. How many of you got accepted to a ballet academy on a scholarship. You guys sit back and talk about arches and shit like they MATTER, but this girl has a genuine gift in excellent extension, and that's not good enough for you guys?

The point of a "Contemporary" piece is to show off ure strenghts and talents.
If she's good at extensions and turns that's what the choreographer will give.
She just danced it not choreoraphed it.
