I have been twirling for 3 years and I have never seen any thing like that I LOVED IT

[DVNDVN11]

empty seats!! shame so many people miss out on such talent.

@DVNDVN11 The WBTF don't usually sell seat at the back of the arena. They're usually reserved for athletes and coaches... most of whom are busy in the training areas all day. Believe me, this place was packed to the roof in the finals.

[djatrium]

in that time she didnt think that years later she was going to be in the most important and famous cirque around the world.

[JugglerArata]

In this performance she looks like her baton being loved.

I like this performance, and respect her.
