Juliet Doherty - Variation from La Esmeralda

[WONDERSofAandB]

BEAUTIFUL LEGS!

[Bedazzelle]

BRAVO BRAVO! Exquisite young dancer-her hardwork and training show. She is a pleasure to watch--one of our favorites! 

[KeshaandBuety]

8 people probably thought the dislike button was dis-i-like :)

[MonaTheBellydancer]

PERFECT

[Jessiebuly]

love her facial expression.

[fiercevelina]

Juliet is amazing! I'd expect nothing less from her and I can't wait to see what she does in the future!

[CourtneyGlitter]

I've seen this variation dozens of times, but never with the precision and strikingness (if that is a word!) of this one! Juliet, you are a beautiful dancer with so so so much talent, keep dancing!

[yummyalphabetsoup]

Wow. That's all I have to say. This was truly amazing.

[Powerballet98]

I have seen many professionals dance this and she does it better than they do!!!

[nm88keys]

I danced with her this summer at a ballet intensive. She's so good and such a sweetheart :)

[iDancer234]

holy frickin' crap...if she's doing all of this now, when the heck did she start pointe?

[iRissity]

let me just say.. i am thirteen also and my dreams have been crushed now and forever!

[HeyHeyHeylee]

[heyitsmeT]

[MegaShaedow]

[IAmBalletFreak]

She amkes her turns look so easy. Me being stupid gget up and try it. You Guessed it! I fell on my ass!

[balletchick97]

[HeartBreaker2694]

[iDancer234]

WOW.

[loveeballet152]

Giiirl you do Esmeralda justice!:) Amazing job!!

[donnalovesyou97]

Who ever had the 'ouch' reaction obviously does not understand the true meaning of dance. Which all started with beautiful dancers like this. (Well not exactly but you get the point) Honestly she is amazing. I don't understand. Her pirouettes are just flawless.

[elvisismyrabbit]

I just watched her feet the whole time. geeez.

[ballerinamama]

WOW! 

[dgdancebabie]

[Uberdancer412]

[DakotaRoseT]

Looks like we have another alys shee :)

[jtkdancer11]

I loved her dancing and i cannot belive she is only 13!!! her costume was stunning along with her dancing!!

[tamarackdancer]

Wow. I'm thirteen, and I wish I was half as good as her in my pointe!!

[donnalovesyou97]

@tamarackdancer Me too, I can barely do one turn on pointe!

[douglasgn66]

very very pretty (and my age!) :DD

[Jodec1994]

Extremely well done!!! 4 pirouettes are hard to accomplish on pointe... And shes only 13!!! Amazing job!!

[CDance96]

her control is aaaaaamazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[suthey1]

I just adore this girl.... she's amazing and extremely captivating! So glad that they are including ballet as well on this channel - she makes what is truly very difficult look incredibly easy. Kudos!

[ONEthousendONE]

this was sooo great.. i just love it

[lauratunes12]

I agree, thank you for posting some good old fashioned classical ballet/pointe solos on here! Very beautiful girl and beautiful dance!

[leezlou]

Always amazes me how girls SO young can pull off performances like that! Variations look simple, but they are technically hard... Great, thank you for posting this, more please! :)

[BrookeDanceStar]

She's A Very Good Dancer ! Shes Truly A Ballerina ! Good Job On Your Turns They Were Great sustaining and landings ! i <3 It !

[dancer3653]

[1SupaDancer]

[Perform4evr]

She's only 13? She is such a beautiful ballet dancer!

[brittybabe77]

I love seeing all of these different styles on this channel. Keep it up!

[MAGOON13]

I just don't think people understand how intensely HARD this variation is!! And she did is beautifully!!! She has an amazing future ahead of her!

[CanNotBeScene]

I find black background so beautiful! There's less distraction idk.. its like the dancer is in their own world

[coolbeanscd]

@Gymnasticseverywhere I know I'm saying Katia is better. They both bring a unique esmeralda; they're both very good! Katia was younger when she performed her variation.

[coolbeanscd]

@coolbeanscd Oh and so does christina ricucci

[dancershopoholic]

That was AMAZING!!!!!! well done!!!! :) :) :)

[DanseusePassionne]

Amazing centre on her turns, really strong for her age, good expression- I hope this girl goes pro if she's up for it! Very talented.

[nicolesmiles14]

She is amazing! Such great technique, i'm jealous. C:

[Janekoysen875]

beautiful

[Ms18niya]

Her feet look like there made for pointe

[purplesoda2497]

great dancer but i didnt like how she just repeated the smae things over and over again

[GurllBetterWork]

@purplesoda2497 It's a Variation.....

[kristakd3]

@purplesoda2497 Thank you! and just want to let you know that the repetition was probably the intention of Petipa when it was choreographed about 200 years ago.

[purplesoda2497]

grea

[danceedgepinkster]

@Gymnasticseverywhere Katia was 11 when she did this variation & this girl here who attends your studio is 13. Of course you think they are better, they should be at 2 years older!

[danu289422]

some people are born to dance

[coolbeanscd]

If you like this then you should also check out Katia Almayeva's version. They are both great dancers!

[EmsAmd]

Favorite dance from this channel

[xheyyitsjuliax]

oh my god, that was flawless.

[DaNcEx3JoNaS]

I learned this variation but this is the far best I've seen! (: her feet and her pirouettes are amazing!

[Meggzinator]

[dancebrought2u]

Gorgeous!

[Aever1988]

Doesn't Christina Ricucci also have a version of this?

[HuskyGirl06]

@Aever1988 yup! its on Christina's youtube page :-)

[Cheerbabeforeverable]

[KalexCullen]

[Dancingvermonter]

omg this variation is in all the competitions -_- still great tho!

[icanonlybeMO]

[dancefreak1025]

her pirouettes en pointe are beautiful! she needs a little more spice for esmerelda, but overall wonderful!

[roxynikko2]

beautiful costume and dance ruotine!

[videodaddy99]

Very beautiful. This seems to be a very popular piece. I've seen it several times at competitions. Christina did an amazing version of this last year I think.

[teachernotafelon]

@videodaddy99 It is a fun piece to dance to! There's a ton of great versions of this variation on youtube.. its really popular. This girl is really great.

[GurllBetterWork]

[dancettechick13]

[Madsx0xo]

I did this same variation in my ballet class but if i was doing it next to her...... i would've looked real dumb

[Ndfdancer18]

Didn't Christina Ricucci do a dance similar to this?

[livelaughlover1234]

@Ndfdancer18 yea she did the same variation but with some minor differences. This is a really popular variation but its beautiful when executed well which is what both of them have done :)

[misscarlyeee]
