[zzp1]

@Roccarocks

Indeed, very elegant and the soft touch .......

[broadwaybabe35]

Elle est très belle!

[DRAMAQUEEN1195]

she was off in the first couple of counts but besides that, absolutely breathtaking!!!!

[jstwannablvd]

beautiful feet turnout but somehow it seems as though her knees are not aligned.

Fantastic character and style :)

[bitchyslimpanda]

her foot finger must be very hurt ~ ouch !

[ElishaGrace828]

@bitchyslimpanda They wont get hurt because they have paddings inside. I use to do ballet but no i dont because im kind of boyish

[Ramzes521]

OK !

[BonjourBurrito]

Her costume is so beautiful........I just love Love LOVE that fabulous tutu!!

[SchokoBanane06]

[tapki11]

[BrendaLi1]

[TheDafne09]

marvellous

[JolleCleopatra]

Wow. AMAZING! I want to be as good as her!

[1234lovefaith]

SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! LIFE

[youngaria]

sigh... one day.

[vmodfkrwr]

This was amazing!!! Great great job. I do have to say that at one point I was laughing because I said to myself, "Hahahaa, that tambourine is bigger than she is!" Anyways, she some how made this overly danced variation look interesting! She didn't dance it to show off or anything stupied like that, she was very soft, well put together and very elengant! That hard to do with the Esmeralda variation because all it consites of is turns and high leg kicks!...Again, GREAT GREAT JOB! :)

[BroadwayBabyMusicno]

This is fantastic, Osipova is my favorite, but she's close. I noticed everyone commenting on the large tambourine though, but it is more practical within this variation. I am performing the role of Esmeralda, including this variation. When I first learned the variation, the series of kicks was difficult with a small tam. There's a learning curve to it, oftentimes one hits the top of the foot with the metal rim of the tam. Not fun and quite painful when repeated. No trouble with a larger tam.

[wasanik123]

almost everything is good, but the way she handles the tambourine is awful, she slaps it on her hands and her foot like she's slapping mosquitoes. more subtility would greatly add to the variation. in all, very good!!

[BeautytifulTina]

brilliant. very expressive

[balletdance15]

Woow perfect, what kind of points are? Please someone tell me :)

[thefourandonly1]

@balletdance15

they kinda look like russians...but I'm not sure

[DancinFeet1994]

She reminds me of a young Lopatkina, except w/ triple pirouettes

[pangaea611]

but the most amazing thing about it is how perfectly she is on the music! just like every dancer /should/ be. :))) how old is she, does anybody know? THanks!

[deadlydin]

@pangaea611 shes 18 but i think she was about 16 there

[TheNextCompanionDW]

She is just amazing. I love watching this variation.

[FyreBalletDancer]

i didnt like how she sometimes wasnt on the music with the tamborine (and u can really hear that) and how much you could see her think about the movement while she was dancing ... but good job dance-wise ... her technique is great, but that wasnt my fav esmeralda performance ...

[balletguru09]

The tamberien looks Like she is holding a pizza in here hand. dose anybody else thing it's big?everything else was beautiful

[Ballerina0303]

i love the way her pointe shoes look on her.. some girls look like they are breaking the pointeshoes cause they are too fat she looks amazing in hers

[FyreBalletDancer]

how old is she ???

[kiki246810]

she messed up but her triple pirouettes are more stable the others.

[saskiaballet11]

OMG !

She's beautiful *-*

[secretme127]

She looks.. scared (?)

[TheIcomeforyou]

Astounding!!! What a great performance!

[happygoluckycindy]

the triple pirouettes are more stable than some of the others i've seen :)

[Kikiomme]

I wanna be like her!!! :') she will make me cry!

[Chanchi112]

Diooooos es perfectaaa!! excelente!! una tecnica espectacular y una expresion bellisimaaa!!

[flapjackballet]

Love this girl. She is so talented, she is really going places. And she doesn't dance like robot like so many of the competition ballet kids out there.

[kkzinhahxd]

how old is she ?

[Caroolzinha1005]

Katya's variation is better

[makingpeoplelaugh]

absolutely gorgeous! i would just say dance with a little more personality(:

[dolcefatto]

molto graziosa!

[AGirlWhoLovesBallet]

she hit her drum so hard it broke....

[GawkyBallerina]

You can tell how easy triples are for her. Dangggg

[ilive4dance39]

SHE IS AMAZING but if i HAD to give her one correction it would be that in the section where she does the repeated relevées while hitting the tambourine to the front, she got a little off the music... and when you're hitting the tambourine its really noticable... but overall YOU ARE COMPLETELY FANTASTICALLY WONDERFUL!

[barbieguirl]

she reminds me of the girl from the movie orphan. but shes amazing!

[simplytara89]

you're turns are fantastic, beautiful!

[KristinDaie]

u can actually c how hard it is 4 her to do the "grond batmane" line at the end....

[jodebo68]

what is the title of this song please?

[KristinDaie]

esmeralda variation

[itseve]

I think this is really really good :)

Just 1 thing, I think she should have used a small tambourine.

[itseve]

Smaller*

[b3b3t1t4]

I like how she dances but at the end of the song she lost the rhythm

[xmyxxxlifex]

I agree. It looks like she doesn't have ears...

[jaalvjl]

I really like how she dosn't ruin her lines by trying to show off her flexibility, it makes it look so much cleaner and more effortless

[TheTravelBug89]

This is nice ... But Natalia Osipova's performance will always trump anybody elses ... ever.

[Danzer0695]

well..i think each dancer has its own beautiful style...and there is no reason why we should compare them

and this girl is really good...natalia is also good but they are just different..that´s all

[KristinDaie]

agree 100%

[balletgirl11]

wow

[SuperLaste]

nice epaulment...in this more "spanish" dance it is a must....and it adds of course more caracter to the dance.

[dancer5616]

shes MAZING! but is it just me or is she rushing the dance too much? shes rushing it the music isnt that fast

[Roccarocks]

Y'know, I always get sick of watching the Esmeralda variation, it's so frequently used at competitions just so girls can show off their insane flexibilty. But, I can honestly say, Emily's esmeralda is now my favorite alongside Natalia Osipova's. She doesn't do the striking effect like Osipova, but has a completely opposite perspective and completes each movement with a soft flirty touch. Amazinggg artisty. I absolutely LOVE IT!! BRAVA!!!!! :D

[birbanto24]

@Roccarocks i agreed with you esmeralda variation is like the perfect showcase for gymnastics tricks but there is needed quite more to make it big and even she fall of rithem quicking the tambourine i completley fall in love with this osipovas and this are my favorites esmeraldas

[KittyUSF]

@Roccarocks agreed



[gege53]

@Roccarocks thank yu so much Emily! !the first time i see yu dancing! yu are just perfect!! i'm in a deep admiration!! i present yu my reverence!!..

[Iluvmahtrianglezz201]

@Roccarocks Couldn't have said it better myself

[Fattyshack]

that tambourine is bigger than she is :)

[iClone56]

I love it when she hits the tambourine on her foot, it looks weird.

[ButrScochMonks]

her posse is good... its kind weird when she hits it with her foot!

[ragazzacarioca]

how old she is?

[BeautifulBallerina14]

[tutus4life]
