  • What a delightful child! A lovely dancer with a bright future!

  • wayy better than the kids in my class, in the company, and they are ages 15-17!

  • the stage is to small!! lol

    

  • age 13!!!! WOW

  • is she dizzy yet

  • she has sooooo much control

  • Pointes next week! I wish I couod be taught by these people

  • Jeez, I'm starting pointe in January and I'm 11. I'm so excited!!! By the end of the dance year, I should be able to do double pirouettes and inside attitude turns. :D!!!!!

  • Wow. That stage is sooooo small and looks slippery also. At least she didn't fall.

  • dang i used to do ballet and I didn't start pointe until I was 14! but then i quit a couple months later but dang she is REALLY good.

  • her dancing is butiful her flaw is emotion not enough effort to put emotion in her dance. smiles cant get you everywhere

  • she is REALLY good!!!!!! :D I love this!!!!!

  • waw she is the peeeerfect ballerina.... no words.. the only comment positive critique i have to give is MORE LIFE IN YOUR ARMS... as my ballett teacher says make them fluffy... and yes they also do tell the story for your dance :) AAAAAMAAZING DANCER YOU ARE

  • I was 9 when I was put on pointe.

  • amazing for a 13 year old!!

  • well this is really good if you think about her age

  • She is absolutely wonderful! Although maybe too young for starting out pointe... if she is this good at 13 she probably started out young which can permanently damge your feet. Very technically strong dancer though.

  • wow there is alot of turning in this variation!!

  • i was put on pointe at 11 and am 13 now

  • 30 people are jealous that they can't do that! I am jealous that i cant do this amazing dance but you dont see me hitting dislike do you???

  • At my studio, the usual age to begin pointe is 9, although I started at 8 and my friend at 7 because we had well developed feet and ankle muscles and bone structure. It's not that uncommon to start pointe around that age. As long as your muscles and bones are ready, there's nothing wrong with it. And besides, she's 13 now, and her feet seem fine (better than fine!!) and undisfigured. There isn't really an age limit, it depends.

  • Did anyone see here stumble at :27 or is it just me? I am 12 and I can barely get up on my full box! She is amazing. I can't even do that without pointes!

  • @BalletGirl312 yah that's why i hate point she seems young for it.

  • her attitude needs some work, but for a 13 year old this is quite impressive, i am agnist starting pointe at such a young age, but if you are going to learn like this. she is only 13 and stage presence should come with time.

  • very nice but lacking stage presence .

  • the 26 dislikes were on crack cause this was beautiful

  • I wish I could do that WITHOUT pointe shoes.

    Well done :)

  • linda linda linda ! *-------------*

  • may i know the reason why she's kicked out of your school?

  • I WANT HER FEET.

    

  • People always ask why most primas are Russian. Well heres the answer: They friggin get beaten if they dont do well! :L Господи как я ненавидела свою училку...

  • Fantastic start! She'll do this variation perfectly by the age of 16! One thing I have to say is work on control coming out of turns. Other than that it was great:)

  • props for dancing in such a SMALL stage!

  • Ksenia is WONDERFUL ! Congrats !!

  • it doesn't matter when you have started with pointe , but how hard you work.....even if you're 12,13,14

  • menina boa com muuuuuuuuuuuuuita tecnica , porem poderia ter expressado um pouco mais na sensualidade e expressao do cisne negro

    mas mesmo assim ta de parabens

  • Она красивая танцовщица! Мне очень нравится наблюдать все ваши видео. Вы производить красивые танцоры

  • i am a balerina clasical if you want to watch me,Ekaterina Martinez in youtube

  • I wonder how they teach so the dancers are so amazing..?

  • @pangaea611 right! i'm so jealous but in a way i'm not.. these girls go to ballet schools they dance all day everyday while we're at school in class. i loveee dance and all but i think if i did that, i wouldn't really have a real life experience outside dance and all i would know is dance :/ either way though, i would love to be that good!

  • @ZOMGitsAubreigh Sorry if I'm barging into a conversation (even if it ended a month ago!). I do remember that on one of Lada's videos, there was a question asking if Lada went to school. The original poster replied that she does, and at that time was in 2nd grade. I am not sure if this is the case with all of there students, but I presume that most do go to school too.

  • imprecise but nice

  • her arches r amazing ! 4 her age !

  • She has so much control. She does need to spot a little better though, but wonderful for 13 :)

  • she is very good

    i really like the stage

    it is so nice and 3D and flowy =D

  • Wow, i'm her age and i am not even close to that.......

  • Wow, i'm her age and i am not even close to that.......

  • she is so amazing! I dance and every day e see this dance!

  • i love her costume!

  • i am just sitting on my bed with my laptop on my hands admiring this girl,while i could be practising!!!

  • seemed like the only reason she did this variation was bcuz it showed her technique off, not her acting skills. to do odile u have to be odile, not just go thru the steps. there has to be a passion. amazing technique tho :D

  • nothing to do with age when you start on pointe - to do with the strength in your ankles, feet, spine and posture!

  • omg she is awesome : talking about perfection she sure is already close maybe a future margot F? but anyways lovely!!

  • very wonderful but way too young to perform black swan..... she'd look better in buebird or paysant in my opinion! and black swan when she is 16, 17, 18 and so on.... but i'll say again, very beautiful, congratulations!

  • ..... she can turn

    but tell me if im wrong, she didn't manage to end a singe pirouette :/

    In my opinion she has SO much potential but she has been taught incorectly.

    Where im from you can't do a single or a double unless it is done to perfection :|

  • very good lines!!

  • that stage is tiny (looking)!

  • Very nice performance !

    She should more concentrate on her - port de bras-....but it will come at her age she still have all the live in front of her :)

  • Very beautiful ,but needs more dancing,

    I'm not saying she's not a dancer I'm just

    saying she needs more audience enjoyment.

    P.s> also needs better arms.

  • you're very good!

  • she has a beautiful pinte

  • I love how she smiles when she dances. All the other ballerinas look so serious when they perform. I guess they are trying to be more beautiful (which they already are, whether they try to be or not, its just the way of the dance). But in my opinion if you smile while you dance it make you look even more beautiful than anyone thinks possible, and adds a unique mood to the whole thing.

  • @FreeSpirited5 She's also Odile, so of course she's smiling...;-)

  • I love how she smiles when she performs. All the other ballerinas look so serious, I guess they are trying to be more beautiful (which they are in the first place,whether they can help it or not). In my opinion if you smile while you dance it makes you look even more beautiful, and adds a unique mood to the whole thing.

  • what lovely pirouettes and the perfect ballerina figure! one thing - her arms are a little stiff, but besides that, she's wnderful!

  • davvero brava!!:D

  • she's really good =D I don't like this choreography though.

  • She's AMAZING! im 13, and Im not on pointe yet! :'( I really want to go on pointe though :) hopefully my feet'll be strong enough soon :)

  • She's AMAZING! im 13, and Im not on pointe yet! :'( I really want to go on pointe though :) hopefully my feet'll be strong enough soon :)

  • thats the version of black swan that we do at my studio, I just say that you have very nice feet for pointe, although I think you could do much better if you had a bigger stage!! Also just a tip, try not to throw yourself into the turn otherwise it looks a little messy, and can be easily fixed with some practice!! Very nice though!!

  • I wonder when they started her on pointe. Where I dance they don't let us even think about beginning until we're 12 or 13!

  • @sillymeohten На пуантах занимается с 7 лет

  • @Kuramshinballet she started at the age of 7??

  • @Kuramshinballet she went on pointe when she was seven?!!!

  • @Kuramshinballet how do you get the shoe to fit her arch so well??? do you 'break it in??

  • @sillymeohten im guessing they let her cuz she's got good ankle strengh but she's lacking a lot of control in my opinion. I personnaly started slowly at 11 ...

  • @sillymeohten i think she started at 9 or 10 cuz i saw her do la esmeralda at age 10 and Im 17 and shes even waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than me:)

  • @sillymeohten some start very early, as 10 or 11.. i started when i was 11 on pointe :D

  • @sillymeohten Me too ... I started pointes at 12 but In Russia when they think that the dancer is ready they go for pointes ! So they can start at 5 - 6 ... :S Wich is really young but commun in Russia. I hope their ankles are strong enough ! :D

  • @sillymeohten, i started pointe when i was eight but she could have started at 6 for this kind of results!

  • @sillymeohten yea same with me

  • @sillymeohten I was put on pointe at 13 as well. Muscle tone, and turnout have to be developed before one is put on toe shoes to avoid any danger, but I can believe that if this girl was on demi-pointe, and had the technique already that she could have been this good in such a short time period ♥ AMAZING ♥

  • @sillymeohten at my old ballet schol no matter the age if u took 3 intensive ballet summer camps u would start pointe no matter what! but the camp wass ridiculously challenging so the girls were so well trained. 6 yr olds on pointe the parents were so pushy but i must say that it paid off i mean the girls now are doing so well! anyways i quit when i was 6 ( i wld hav been on pointe) i cried a little bit but got ever it. then i saw Black Swan and i was hysteric lol i hated myself for quitting

  • @sillymeohten

    10 for us! but I think that's still a little young. I'm 13 and will start this summer!

  • wow! she is really skinny!! really pretty!

  • she looks young for 13, i'm 13 and all of my friends look older than her. wow.

  • this is beautiful to watch! she looks great! loving the tutu! i love how this ballet school is so diciplined. wish ide of chosen ballet when i was 5

  • Maravillosa, con solo 13 años ha podido bailar en esta forma, ¿ que sera cuando tenga sus 20??

    Felicidades nena y adelante.

  • that was quite good

    im impressed shes very good en point for a thirteenyearold

    well done

  • She's mega good! I go to ballet school [ proffesional ] and we must do fouettes in 5th class! Good luck girl!

  • very forceful turns but other than that beautiful and amazing dancer

  • wow!!!!

  • WOW! SOOO beautiful!

  • her arms are not good actually

  • What happened to knsenia? She no longer dances more? Can you tell me ...

    Sorry for my English

  • yup stunning and everything. there is room for improvement. turns are crazy, but one thing... expression.

  • wow

  • Which is her name?

  • @ballerinaofballet

    Zhingashina Ksenia

  • She dances much better then a professional adult!!

  • she is very good but i don't like her arms....

  • She's so thin. :)

  • i really like her tutu <3

  • SHe really needs to hold her arms. It's awesome that she can spin like a top but it will be EVEN better when she isn't pulling back in her neck (not all the time though, it's weird)... and she is smiling. But I am picking at this. She is PHENOMENAL!

  • smallest stage everr.

  • shes really good for just being 13

  • Wow! O now she hopped in her turn I hate that! I love her tutu!

  • her turns and tricks are incredible but her arms are a bit stiff looking and she also looks a little bit weak. But besides that GREAT WORK!

  • this young girl is INCREDIBLE. she should be dancing for companies nation wide.

  • WOW

  • EncoreLPYZ LOL yeah.

  • I wish I could dance like that, she's amazing!

  • i am so jealous...

    wish i had that skill

  • bravissimaaa

  • i wanted to make a rude comment but i didn't because i'm probably just jealous of her

  • In in consideration of the fact this girl only 13 is, finds I her unbelievably good!

  • Хорошие у вас девочки! Конечно, им еще много работы предстоит, но все равно замечательно, что у нас есть балетные школы кроме вагановки!

  • AMAZING!

  • she has good feet work (nice arch and all that)... but her arms are a littleee...

  • The stage looks like ice

  • so good

  • Her arms are not graceful enough

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • julliard :)

  • haha she's probably getting a lot better training in Russia then she would at Juilliard :)

  • not very good arms...

    work on musicality... BUT the turns are great... strong technique

  • Good, but far from perfect.

  • bellissima!

  • such a tiny stage! good use of moving but not filling up the stage with two steps

  • wow. props for the turns on that stage- it looks so slippery. you look great! dont worry about the arms, just focus on them in class. you have a lot of talent!

  • try not to hold so much tension in your shoulders/upper body. AMAZING though.

  • a few stumbles here and there not bad like everyone said arms could use a bit more work but bravo i do give you props for your turns those were really good

  • shes very good but her arms flap thats not right but VERY good

  • She´s amazing,but her arms...aren´t so good...

  • Crazy small stage!

    Wonderful balance:)

  • I noticed that too!

  • AMAZING ON POINTE

  • your turns were great but unsteady in places but your Chaînés and courrus were absolutely beautiful. Lovely performance!

  • she is an awesomeeee turner..but it doesnt look like shed be a very good jumper and ur arms r a little weird but still great turner

  • wow she is good for 13

  • tiny stage!!!

  • shes a good turner but i dont really like the choreography cause its hard to tell if she can do more then just turn in the dance

  • well unfortunately this is the proper, original choreography for odile.

  • La nena puede llegar a ser una gran bailarina, posee talento.

    Felicidades linda.

  • omg..!

  • LOVED ITTT!!!

  • nice for 13! but i feel like after she does her attidude turns and such that she is sturggling to get back her control! and i think that her arms r just a tiny bit stiff. u want them to be as light as a feather. other than that, pretty nice!

  • pretty good for 13! but i feel like after she does the attidude turns and the pirouettes, she is struggling to get her control back!! doing many turns is amazing!! but landing it CLEAN is what makes it look so easy to do in the eyes of the audience! oh and work on your arms.... they need to me as light as a feather. i feel like they r a little stiff. but other then those 2 things, pretty good!

  • she is a pirouette machine!!! go girl!!!

  • ela é muito bonita, até pela idade.mas eu acho que para essas variações dos cisnes, assim como as da Kitri, a bailarina deve ser um pouco mais madura, fisicamente,tecnicamente e artísticamente.

  • She is amazing and i bet one day she wil become a famous ballerina.

  • AMAZING!!! everything is perfect

  • omg the stage is soo tiny!!! i cant imagine dancing on that lol i would feel so... closed in. lol

  • plenty of room for improvement, but VERY good for only 13.

  • ela é mais ou menos...não tem os passos muito definidos!!!

  • OMG

  • Hats off to her at 13, but I'd rather see her doing cleaner work than doing messy versions of steps that she is still struggling with.

    Quite untidy in places, and I'd prefer to see a child of 13 doing simpler steps but well, rather than doing stuff that is a few years ahead of her current standard.

  • not my favorite variation from ksenia (i like her don quixote the best) but absolutely stunning and beautifully done, nonetheless. she is going to go far, and i wish her the very very best. :)

  • SHE'S A VERY TALENT

  • she's really good but she's still some work to do in the tecnique but god she's 13 in a few years she'll be eating the world

  • She's got such a natural style, she really seems at home on her pointes!

  • I love her and she is very talented

  • i know exactly how you feel!

    i'm 16 and still can't get fouettes on pointe. -_-' fml

    lmao

  • hmm..in an hour i have ballet lesson and after that...i will do my best on pointe today!!! without ''lol''

  • yeah me too

  • OMG Gorgeous :D :D She's awesome with the pirouettes! God Bless her :D

  • wow....she is an angel....very beautiful and very good...

  • shes amazing for her age, but in any of her turns she overcrosses her foot and you can see it sticking out all the time. but other then that i love her lol

  • She is amazing, but towards the middle she looks a little rushed in her face, other than that, she did amazing!

  • she's a very talented girl. she can work more on her hands to relax them, but her performance was beautiful. hopefully will see her dancing in a big company in a couple of years.

  • Promising child there. Good work. However she did look awfully dangerous in the beginning with her triple/quad en dehors prior to attitude (i lost count how many pirouettes she did)...but she redeemed herself towards the end. Amazing effort.

  • wow! shes amazing

  • Bravo! amazing for her age! though i still don't think she should push herself that much, she still has time to dance all the big roles:=)
