Katia Almayeva - Variation from Don Quixote

[caroooool100]

"Amazing Technique. But no acting" She's just 10. 

[xalixluvsballetx]

pretty costume !! :)

[VercaBallet]

Yes, she is 10 years (or was 2 years ago), but in her age, she can't act variation of sexy and temperament Kitri. Graceful and amazing technique, but she have to wait few years to act Kitri much more better :-)

[cjoyoates]

does any one agree 10 is too young for pointe

[OmGMapleRawr]

@cjoyoates noo not at all,, i got & started pointe when i was 10 too

[xXxileonsXx]

@cjoyoates I Started Pointe When I Was EIGHT Years Old.

[balletstar123]

@cjoyoates Well, I think it depends on the situation. I know someone who's 10 and she's already doing the Rose Adagio solo variation en pointe.

[equine247]

@cjoyoates If someone is as amazing as that and everyone agrees that she is ready then no it isn't too early. i got my first pointe shoes when i was 11. she might have been only a few weeks away from eleven too... you never know!

[ashleyo871]

@cjoyoates NO! If the girl can do it then why stop her from it!

[FlahMSDC]

@cjoyoates 10 is a good age to start, not to dance like this.

[snappy20045]

@cjoyoates i dont agree i started pointe when i was 8

[snappy20045]

@cjoyoates i think it depends on the person i started pointe when i was 8

[nyahill6]

@cjoyoates in some cases it can be, but it depends on the dancer. Her bones will develop as they may, but if she is able to stand up to the work and demand of pointe shoes is the decision of a profesional, not some yahoo on youtube

[gabrielleprsnuknw]

wow shes 2 years younger than me and dances the things i dance. wow.

[gotamnn1]

si jeune et déjà pleine de talent et de grâce

[akidogirl]

What variation in don quixote is this?

[svetlanaram]

too slow 

[MrGiovaone]

mamma mia!

[grishkohorse112]

I just feel like she doesnt have enough spark yet... but that can come with being more comfortable with technique and performing :)

[wickedandwonderous]

wow...just beautiful

[TheBalletgirl09]

wow

[jnie99]

her jumps amazing

[takaoyona90]

its such a pity she didnt win anything. she deserved to win. good luck next time. she's so thin is she anorexic?

[MagicFantasyLover]

She's amazing, but i'm worried for her feet... she must've started pointe really young :(

[balletgirlxox]

What stretches does she do?

[jeanemail7]

she is amazing for a 10 year old. I can imagine she will be great one day.

[aznbunny337]

omg!!!!!!!! she is like the best dancer ever!! i love her leaps!

[jpdancer83]

Bravo bravissimo!!!!!

[uhscubs13]

[cincin654321]

[DanceNelle]

[Mallabee]

And she's only 10? What a talent!

[88888Di88888]

so cute and well done for a very young little girl :)

[m2307]

such a neat technique!!!!!!! but i must admit id love to have seen more interpretation.. but thats alright... i mean shes just 10

[pianogirl247]

wow! and she's only 10? She's very good!

[icantpirrouette13]

she seems more into getting her stuff bigger and more stretched out then keeping good time to the music. good though!

[icantpirrouette13]

the pirouettes at the end were good but i think she over reached because she was way behind the tempo.

[Tap1Snap1]

I love your dancing!!! one little tip my teacher always tells me, Close in a nice, turned-out fifth.

[Tap1Snap1]

[1313dancer]

She needs to work on her turn out when she comes out of the jumps and turns

[danceluverful]

[peacelovecali]

[nightdreamer9897]

she is really good!

[ilovefouettes]

i hate these videos sooooo much!! i hate how i work as hard as i can to do that and im same age and everything,and i can do just like her and i dont get into competitions,or get in pointe early.i hate it! i can do that maybe even better, and im the same age!!ive never even been in one competition!!

[MissLizzanna]

amazingly beautiful!

[RebbyTheDinosaur]

wow!

[Annasoile]

nice, but a little bit slow in the starting of the pirouttes and other moviments..

[marcelamariano1]

I LOVE THIS VARIATION!

[angelshanna77889]

AMAZING wow her back is really flexible i wish i were that flexible

[animelover13579]

At 10 years old she should not be en pointe at all

[mrfreddymr]

wow!! super flexible, great technic escelent in every aspect!!

[EmynAly]

Absolutely amazing. Love it.!

Love her outfit too. :)

[taurusbs]

What did it happen to this young girl?

[dancnq99]

She does do this really well, amazingly for a ten year old, but she would have been better to wait a few years before going en pointe. In will be bad for the bone structure in her feet and may end up causing problems for her dancing. She should've learned harder stuff in flats before doing such a hard variation. You can see that her feet and legs have a very 'young look' about them.

[DSATEA96]

check XIMENA EMILIANI she does this variation grat at same age of katia in this video

[thinkerbell25gigi]

PerfeitoOOOOO !! very good !!

[hannahkathleeny]

her jumps are so effortless and beautiful!!

[vess1028]

she's excellent!she danced in lots of programme...i wish to be like her

[jujupn]

Essa menina é fora de série

[JaeBallet]

[chambala09]

How many pirouettes?? Greaaaaaat

[madkat0213]

What Studio does she go to?

[Lecoleleco7]

she is too young for this...

[gwennnn]

I think we'll be hearing a lot about Katia in a few years....what a talent.

[anzdf]

Excelente, asombrosa.

[Anadance]

Isn't she too young to b on pointe? I thought u had to be 12 to do point. But wow, she is amazing!!!I can't believe she's only 10 and could pull that off, she will be even more amazing when she's like 20.

[Nawtiies]

Omg! her mum taught her!? Where does she teach!? i wanna leanr thaaat! x

[PrestonTam]

dangggggggggggg!

[balletislife101]

When she gets older She will be AMAZING! and probaly a principle dancer for a company.

[dancerbaby122]

[Selvaggianr1]

[madkat0213]

[ballerina4life152]

I LOVE THIS VARIATION!

[imsodanielle28]

BRAAAVOOOO!!!

[jaszmina9]

She is good and flexible, but she needs to turn out more and articulate her feet more. But very good for a ten year old!

[brwnhoney]

that was amazing!!! I enjoyed when she did a pirouette and then did that kind of jete at the end of it. your legs are amazing!!!. you will go far me dear

[ballet7up77]

Katia is so amazing!! This is one of my favorite dances of her!!!!

[BallerinaBel]

she is amazingly talented... she hits ALL the fifths at the end and her technique is an incredibly high standard for only 11 years old! just amazing. well done!

[TeaWithTheFatFish]

i am so impressed. wow.

[cutieponeyxxx]

WOW she is wellllllllllll good

[hydroconscious]

its amazing provided shes only 10!!

anyhoo it would have been amazing anyway! :D

[mdias76]

she's perfect! I wish her legs!

[cheeseandbiccys]

She's like the new svetlana!!!! Freaky! how can she get so much turn out when she jumps, its so unfair!

[NicksBiggestFan1994]

blahhh thats crazyy good! haha better then me.

[pokadotedperson]

[Fuzooky]

[abercromieescool]

[balletdance15]

[amandaalvarenga16]

olá sou brasileira e fiquei com enveja desta linda menina.

isto é um espetáculo ou ela é da sua familia?

adorei!!!!

Fiquei empracionada

[xXbanananaXx]

wow. she is REALLY good at spotting her head when turning !

[PerfectEnPointe]

Dang Im 16 and i wish I could dance like that. Bravo little girl!

[prn4ustat]

oh wow!! she's really really good!! be expecting great things from her. :-D

[naomisuperdancer]

can i contact her?

do u know her msn

[aputhemonkey6]

she is a future guillem, osipova, and vishneva. let's just hope those feet are kept in good condition : )

[BroadwyBound1]

I have to say I am your biggest fan! Amazingly well done! Good show! Are you Russian? I want to know because my mm sways Russians live to dance and I believe they do. I wish my ballet school taught like the Russian ballet schools. I wish I could go there and learn to daence professionally!!!!!!!!!!

[xxprimaballerina]

she's quite amazing right here. and she got even better [if that's even possible] in the esmeralda variation!

[natz351]

watched this so many times now!

and she was amazing placement on the releve passes at the end, landing in 5th every time! very impressive!

[BalletCava]

yea! i agree about her tight fifths! some dancers don't close a fifth at all after releve and that's totally unacceptable! i can't wait to do this variation. can't do it now coz of a bad knee. Katia's AMAZING!

[bananalady95]

sie ist der hammer

[LinweElf4]

damn at age 10 i could even do that...she is fantastic.

[bibalovebibo]

mio dio sei veramente brava per avere solo 10 anni...ho visto tutti i tuoi video sulla danza..complimenti!

[DanseuseSarah63]

est ce réellement possible d'être si douée?

ELle a de grds pieds! =p

[souljachick95]

she reminds me of adeline pastor.

but here feet arent as good.

but theres no doubt in my mind she'll get there someday :)! good job!

[natz351]

She is amazing

i just worry that if she could do this en pointe at 10...she was obv practicing a while longer

which is a little young...even at the Royal Ballet school in London they don't put them en pointe till 11/12

I just hope that no damage has been done, as she is amazingly talented

[aputhemonkey6]

agree.

[Balletismylife9]

She is so cute!!!!

[acwwjesusfreak]

wow...that's the sort of dancer who can get into any company she wants...amazing talent at such a young age!

[gambamamba93]

wow she's amazing!

[balletphanatic]

[wj3395]

[ix3cheeseheads]

AMAZINGGGG

[CheeseWheel3]

Holy... She's so good! I feel like a piece of poo by comparison.

[LilacQueen406]

wow soo good for a 10 yr old and has a lot of potetial tooooo :p)

[divasmom8]

Just curious what age she was when she was put en pointe?

[Ballerina0303]

SO AMAZING so much imporvemnt from past years keep on going your awsome =DDDD

[allthatjazz343]

This is really amazing for her age!!! Really amazing period. There's just one correction that I have. The transitions need to be a whole lot smoother. otherwise......Bravo!!!
