[luvladygaga4eva]

[Ballet101GISELLE]

I really liked the first girl she was good. I absolutely adore the second girl she danced with so much emotion that I love!! I am speachless for the boy!! He was AMAZING!!!!!!! The last girl was also really good she danced with sooooo much energy!!!

[thefourandonly1]

The first girl was good, but she didn't have enough stage presence.

The second girl was so cute and very lovely :)

The boy was REALLY GOOD.

The fourth girl was great! :D

[Gisugar]

my name is Giselle xd

[SJS404]

I liked Giselle the best.

[pinkprincess795]

omgsh these are so beautiful!

[DarkAngelsForever]

It's a shame that the 2nd girl's pirouettes are quite weak in the beginning, later on her sauts on pointe are fantastic!!

[broadwaynballet]

why are the costumes so plain? now you see the competitors in full costume, not just skirt and leo

[letsskitri]

subtitles please =(

[AFdancergirlio]

i agree the second girl had such fluidity in her port de bras too

[EdieNiomi]

Just beautiful dancers.

[kfmcmahon]

1st girl- eh she was ok

2nd girl- had the perfect attitude and presence for giselle. so cute!!

3rd guy- awesome times 10!! anyone know where he is dancing 2day? hes so great

4th girl- such a good kitri!!

[sxydancrbabe]

@kfmcmahon Dawid is with the Royal Ballet. He's in the corps

[madiballet]

the boy is so, so amazing!

[taliaregan13]

the boy was AWESOME!

[letsskitri]

subtitles please =(

[IndiaHicks1]

Would you mind putting captions up subtitles cause I must admit it's frustrating cause i do want to watch this.

[balletviolin10812]

i liked the last girl's dance for some reason, they were all really good!

[Hausisse]

Is it just me or was there something funny about Dawd's arms...? :|

[Susiejax]

That's Bournonville for you :)

[Bellzs]

I haven't notices anything weird about it...

[snowleopard89]

I think it's his hands. His fingers look really stiff!

[evacify]

they just arent flowey.

[bRuNn3tt3]

Bournonville...I think he has INCREDIBLE feet and ballon...

[modern4bebo]

They all need better shoes....:S

[InuYashaDem0n]

i have french class and the only thing i undertand is bonsoir xD

[Elodee123]

Are you in french one... ? I'm in french 3, and I understand a bunch. =/

[InuYashaDem0n]

yes im on begining ur lucky :P yea its hard....xD

[Elodee123]

Wait til you get to french two, it's even harder. I'm not going to even mention french three to you, it should be easy your third year if you get a good teacher, most of it is just review.

[ballerinainatutu]

same haha

[balletmadlucy]

the second girls arabesque line is truly amazing !

[OnlyPerfect1]

lol he's bouncy

[dancerender]

i love this video <33

[HappyThoughts66]

kitamura was probably my favorite because her tutu flowed so nicely with her dance.

the dawid fellow was really graceful, but woman dancing is so much more challening.

the last girl was probably the worst (even she was better than i will probably ever be)

[TechnoKittin]

Kitamura was lovely! I liked the last girl, I thought she made a realy good Kitri, and she had good stage presence! The first was probably my least favourite, too bland. And same for me, they're all far better than I'll ever be!

[carina621]

wow. the second one has alot of strength on her left leg during those hops on a clenched foot.

very nice

[akkid34]

what is the song at the very beginning?!! please someone tell me its so pretty!

[TheNatalia93]

pecato ke nn ha collo del piede

[ThatKidLiz170]

shes amazing! one of my favourite ballets :)

[nikiballet]

pause at 9:31 look at the disgusting line of her leg otherwise very good lol lol lol

xx

[freshszvogue]

1st girl was ok

2nd girl very graceful and beautiful technique the boy reminds me of charlie from center stage

and the 3rd girl was very beautiful very clean and beautiful turn out

[tinymavy]

the 1st girl was good, but looked a little bit nervous.

the 2nd girl has lovely lines and technique, nice interpretation as well, but did not have the stage presence to be a prima ballerina.

The boy has some "it" factor. Very crisp and clean moves. Nice.

The last girl owned it. She has star quality. Totally captured the charachter in her face and in her movement.

[leoninsf]

To Tinymavy: at this stage of their age, none of them should be considered "prima ballerina/or premiere danseur" status. Some might have potential to be better than the rest, but they are still going through the very first steps of a professionally dancing career. Artistry comes with years of experience, combines with discipline, technique and undying passion for dance. So please, give them a break and do not expect too much.

[BellGirl26]

i loved the last girl...she has such comfidence

[EncoreLPYZ]

am i the onlyone who dislikes yellow tutu's?

[therealgiannab]

no I hate them too it is awful i had to wear one in Wltz of the Flowers from Nutcracker and I hated it.

[EncoreLPYZ]

dude, i'd be so pissed

[MissCrazygirlie]

the last girl (i think her name is yumiko fukuda) is AMAZING! i wish i could dance as good as she can dance!

[scepticly]

the last girl...wow only 15???!!!

[kalypsod]

I liked most the first girl! The technique is perfect and I like her facial expressions!

[katie34phitt]

-The 1st Girl was lovely, athought a little out of time in places, nice jetes

-The 2nd Girl was very flowing and gracious a little ummm clumsy turning

-The next boy had amazing jums although arms were dodgey sometimes

-The 4th Girl was the best in my opinion, amazing performance really captured the feeling. :D

[ctdartist]

i liked the last girl a lot. to me, she just radiated!

[alexstarballerina]

the 1st girl gets soo high on her jetes.

[weltunterhalterin]

oh, moi j´aime la danse classique!!!

[khtervola]

As I said I understand nothing of ballet, so is it an entirely build thing - or is it, like it should, an example of how to move, kind of "this is my body, you need these things (sensitivity, balance, expression of emotions) in order to be able to move well"? Kind of: not "this is the form" but "this is the natural way to keep balance with hands and be emotional at the same time", overcome the social obligation to look like rationality and look like the right way of doing instead!

[khtervola]

I love dance but do not understand ballet. Ballet dance gives me the impression of having originated from someone with a superior skill in moving just playing around and showing: balance, meditation and a rich well understood emotional life, kind of naturally serene and happy in the stomach while living a lively practical life.

[flapjackballet]

The second girl's toe hops were fantastic but that was the only great part, imo. The first girl was far better with her technique, while the second girl was very clumsy with turns, hopping, flexed feet, bad arms, etc.

[DCFunBud]

Giselle had a lovely quality to her dancing. It's a shame she messed up her final turns.

[ballerinnnna]

the first girls don q was pretty bad.

but the last girls was cute and good =)

[odile77]

That boy was great, he is gonna make it. His feet, his jumps, batterie and port de bras are great... and he is very young so fire and more expression will come with experience.

[sensualmaddi]

his port de bras were so bad what are u talking about!

everything else was good tho

[odile77]

I see what you mean, his arms are not perfect or as good as his jumps, but I like how he keeps it clean most of the time, which is very difficult to do during allegros, plus, it gives him expression in the movements... and there is something I like about his 5th position =)!

[balletgirlvv]

omg theyre amazing :D

[ballerinaju]

the boy is very very good!! and...what a feet!

[GoodyGumDropzz]

That guy was amazing!!! He made it look so easy...WOW!!! and talk about amazing attitudes and allegro!!!

[yanyuet]

the last girl's don q. was way better than the first.

[enavant]

i agree with you! :)

[vanimea]

I really loved the first girl. I don't know much about ballet and technique, but I love her style and her spirit!

[Uta420]

OMG that boy is one great dancer!!!!!!! A boy with gorgeous feet like that is hard to come by! I hope to be able to jump like him one day LOL!

[bRuNn3tt3]

i know!! and his ballon....was AMAZING!!!

I always stand next to the guys for jumps because I can measure mine against theirs...

:-)

[prn4ustat]

The last girl that did Don Q was just breathtaking, wow. they all were lol, sigh, one can dream to look like that and dance like that.

[RONIDC1979]

the second girl was ok the first girl was bad . ive seen ten year olds do that variation better

[unicef66]

argh they're so skinny! i looks like a pig in my costumes! :(

[dnycp]

the second girl, from japan, she did everything with such poise. it was beautiful.

[carahatestrig]

omg that stage is so huge i'd have such stage fright!

[bRuNn3tt3]

How old was th efirst girl that did the Kitri variation? If anyone knows, please contact me.

[ix3cheeseheads]

she was probably around 15-16

i didn't listen to the recording

[ix3cheeseheads]

there she was 17 and 2 months

right now she is 19

[bRuNn3tt3]

Thank you. That was helpful.

[Mirro1994]

MOOOII :D

[balletgurl10]

How old is she?

[Quenziekinz]

Beautiful dancing!!!... and really nice footwork!

[blackeyes423]

She is doing a variation of Don Quixot

[hbanana7]

the costumes have gone considerably simpler. Is this due to new Lausanne regulations??

[boynextdoor108]

ok..the guy that they showed...i want entrechats like him :P

[Heartistic4Him]

The girl in the romantic skirt- what variation is she doing?

[boynextdoor108]

the second girl, right?...her variation is from "Gisèle"

[Heartistic4Him]

it's so beautiful

[divineayufan8787]

I agree. She was an amazing dancer. I can't wait to see it live.

[DancingHippo13]

she was really good. but after watching the first girl she couldn't really compare. plus her smile looked painted on. it just looked fake.

[biggmama314]

She is very good! You can tell she really is actually enjoying that dance unlike some others.

[Quenziekinz]

which girl?

[brittanytinney1234]

dont try this at home lol

[Mijnaxx]

Love to see this!

[tishtash67]

[BillyElliotLover96]

[BaLLeTLUVer123]

oh my goodness this is beautiful!

[annieme2]

I love her feet. They are so elegant, very well danced!

[citruzzlove]

That step she is doing from 5:50 to 6:10 has got to be the most painful ballet step!!! And I know what I am talking about...

[prettieee]

yeahh! and she does it so elegantly.

[BillyElliotLover96]

i no............... it really kills, but she is soooooooooo good at it!

[ROCKSCHOOLKID]

i believe that it's either very easy or very hard. depending on the person.

[katieluvsballet]

[KealanMcSexy]

I went to school with Yukino. She won a spot at National Ballet School of Canada.
