Daniella Spitelli - YAGP NYC Finals 2009 - Variation from "Swan Lake"

[periodictable47]

I am impressed! Altogether beautiful. Properly swanlike.

[Daviidteles]

Que horror! haihaiuaia

[ClairemStadler]

I believed she was a swan! She did really well!!

[AZM5991]

Overall very good! Although I find the music too slow and I think she would improve a lot if she worked more on her arms/hands :)

[thefourandonly1]

She's quite good :D

the arms kinda bugged me sometimes....good though :D

[BubbaDolly]

Great job, your fingers are in a bit of a funny position - try working on hiding your thumbs more, this will give you a more graceful look!

[Ego1c]

clean

[Ainomirjam]

this variation is sooo difficult, and you did it great !

[jandritasurfer]

i like her feets so much!

[Bwwbe]

uj big talent, this variation needs much control, very good technics and also the mind is important. For her age...well done!!!

[LRBSballerinaz]

Very good! the choreagraphy seemed hard though...

[livelaughlove66789]

This is breathing taking!

I wish I could dance like her!

I cant belive at the age of 14, she can dance such a diffcult dance like that !

So happy for her, she will go so far in the future!

[IrideBlu8]

this variation need a very good control and technique: she's amazing!!!!!

[96balletlover]

this is so amazing and so emotional

[xfairygirl]

Beautiful! So mature for only fourteen, congrats!

[Balletdancer980]

I'm very glad to see you dance this, you did it very well, and it's so refreshing after watching SO many people dance esmeralda! =D =P

[jngwatson]

OMG . . . is she ever good.

[TheSAgaming]

She has a very expriessonate way of moving. bravo!

[xXbealyXx]

One of the most beautiful 14 year old Swans I've ever seen!

Hey guys, I think it's great to see that there is 'space' to improve.

Wouldn't it be boring to be perfect at the age of 14??

I love it to see the young dancers getting better and better with every year.

[ISAVB10]

love it

[uliyana777]

Elegant, good technique, full of emotion. Just wonderful

[ballet322]

that was beautiful!

just make the cicone's cleaner and time ur arms with the turns at the end

[giulliagiorgetti]

cisne é unico, que cisne pra quem dança é uma dádiva... por isso, faça mais aulas e tente novamente.. treine mais sustentação.. vc consegue ;)

[danbytheriver]

You're right, by no means the cleanest but pretty amazing for a child of 14. As her body gets stronger she will be able to recover easier . Pretty good stuff.

[kaitibobaitiii]

That was gorgeous ! She felt it, had amazing technique, and the extensions and lines to match it all :)

[seheartsdance]

does anyone have a recommendation for a not so hard variation that still can wow the judges? i am 14 and i want to do an easier variation that i can do perfectly than something hard that i look uncomfortable in. thank you so much.

[cutielolxx]

im 12 and ive been doing pointe for about 4-5 months and i've tried Esmerelda and it is quite easy, so look up Katia Amalyeva and she does it the best i have seen so far...(:

[tutigoingcrazy]

u should also try the talisman variation that variation is great!

[barbaralfo]

Bluebird- In sleeping beauty

also maybe don q kitri?

[meandtheDoctor]

@seheartsdance You may want to look at some of the Paquita variations or even Esmerelda. They are really fun and great for your age.

Good luck.

[lashenova]

Sleeping beauty 1st act aurora variation perhaps...

[TheDancefreak891]

wow good

[dancerChiCk275]

Ahhhh I dont believe that shes only 14! It wasnt the cleanest I've seen but It was pretty much AMAZING

[ballettina]

unusual variation for a competition of young people...however,nice

[LiveAndBreatheBallet]

Omg you are a lovely dancer! awesome extensions! keep up the great work!

[lemonadesun]

a lot of it is beautiful and extrememly good for 14, but I just have to say that it looked like you were falling asleep. I know it's supposed to be delicate and emotional but you still have to keep things going and keep up your energy.

[bolshoiboy8]

WOW... you are amazing!!! JUST UR USE OF PORT DE BRAS... i could feel the pain!!! OMG wow... u are officially my fav dancer EVER... u just need some work on technique...

[vess1028]

i think beckanne is better...

[BalletCava]

She's got good technique but there is still some room for improvement. But I have to agree about her needing to put in more expression- true that she might be too young to feel this Swan Lake variation for the correct expression.

[vanillabean001]

I think she's too young. In order to do this variation I really think you need to be more matured in your dancing.

[HellenBailarina8]

Mais ou menos!!!

[dancer5616]

very PRETTY! except her sissons arnt ery smooth but anyway shes still young shes great

[patapouf222]

Amazing for her age !

[92balletdancer]

is she 14 years old??????

[0001balletdancer]

Yes, she has 14 years old!

Isn't she fabulous?

But I think she must put more energy.

[pumpkinbabe0163]

I used to dance with Daniella i also went to jr high with her. all the girls she used to dance with are super proud. GO DANIELLA!

[g7b7h7]

I am so proud of you Daniella, -Gabe

[boggydance]

beautiful girl but way to young to be doing this.

[TwoFaceTrio]

Daniella is a very talented dancer! I am soo impressed with how neat and graceful she danced. Usually when this is danced it is hard to have outstanding teqnique and use expression but she did it all

[pinkpinkgrl]

daniella u are such a good dancer!!!!!!!!!

[ektdancer]

Oh My Gosh This Girl Is Beautiful, I Have Never Seen This Done So Great ! She Is So Young And Still Pulled this Variation Off Beautifully ! Well Done ! By The Way I Think She Looks Like A Swan

[pointerox123]

I agree. Just the way she dances it, she makes it look like she is actually a swan. She is so graceful!

[XxCuBsFaN27xX]

Wow... never seen someone do this variation as good as you did it!!! Next Svetlanana.

[saunabelt]

i love her arms. :)

[kitri]

well i think is good but she is not a swan

[todanceXtolive]

Agreed. Beautiful lines, amazing balance, but not much feeling.

[XxCuBsFaN27xX]

I disagree. I see a lot of feeling + POTENTIAL.

[JustBeingConstructiv]

Very pretty. Feel more freedom through your elbows, especially towards the beginning of the variation. Keep those ribs tucked in during the last pirouette diagonal!

[fuzzybear290]

Beautiful job Daniella!

[xtwinklingtoesx5]

ohkay, wow. i used to dance with daniella until she switched to falburg. i am amazed at how much she has improved. she will go professional for sure!! great job daniella(:

[lovestutudance]

I saw her in the regionals and immediately thought she would be very successful in the finals, her extensions glorious, and her control was magnificent.

[idebobzz]

great job!!! it's amazing how she chose to do this variation at a slower tempo then normally done and did it beautifully!!!!!!! GORGEOUSS

[quenedit]

Great Job Daniella. Ernesto & Catalina

[PaCobble]

Way to go girl!! So very good - your relatives in the South are very proud of you!!!

[chidancer92]
