[butifarra61]

what happened to the boy? 

[SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

holy shit shes amazing she reminds me of one of my friends

[afan922]

fourteen years old... holy crap. She dances with the elegance and confidence of someone about ten years older than that... Not saying it's perfect, but geez, you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a 14-year-old who could do better!

[jngwatson]

She is such a joy to watch.

[AbigailR84]

They made it look so easy, so effortless! He picked her up like she didn't weigh anything at all!!

For those of you not well-versed in the ballet world, Healy was contracted as a principal for then-Londan Ballet Festival the very year after this performance, at 15. She was a professional skater before that, and is today one of the most well-respected dance teachers in the world.

beautiful dancing -- sensitive phrasing, generous, modest. i love her personal qualities -- they suit the Suger Plum Fairy. Her partner is VERY good -- the finger turns in attitude were so light and easy, the lifts. Beautifully prepared.

[babyautumn35]

[bolshoiboy8]

Would you please post the guy at the beginnings full video??? I think he was gonna do Giselle.

[HeidiGirl17]

Yes she id beautiful and graceful.

have a look at ballet Theatre Victoria (Youth Australia ballet) There is a girl 13 dancing Flames of paris. She is amazing as well for one so young.

All the students at this school in Australia are fantastic. It is the best place to train in Australia,

[bolshoiboy8]

no... australian ballet school is better... and that girl was okay, not NEARLY as good as katherine. sry!!!

[101SwimGal101]

i totally agree. she could have been better. i've seen 14 yr old girls better

[lashenova]

No way, maybe more flexible, but not more graceful or more technically perfect, have you ever seen her fouettes?

[gothlolidoll]

very beautiful!

but she looks so tiny next to that very tall dancer! still he complemented her well.

I am glad she grew out of the open mouth thing, I dunno why but it bugs me when dancers do it on stage! I think it looks silly! lol

[eloisefig]

it looks.sounds like an outdoor stage. is Varna always outdoors?

[1HelloMotto1]

amazing i wish i could dance like that

[qbendanny1]

What is amazing here,is that a 14yr old masters a most difficult,mature pas' with such aplomb and security.Really astonishing.A baby ballerina ahead of her time.BRAVA!
