The Art of Pointework Level 5: Pirouettes - Finis Jhung

[emilysmall1]

That turn at @2:02 is amazing!

[7balletenpointe25]

I wish I could do that. I can do the pirouettes but not the fouettes. I scoop my foot in not just going on pointe. It's actually a lot easier.

[kagom34lif3]

I..need..ballet..shoes..NOW

[ThePointePrincess]

Me: OH of COURSE I can do that!!!!

*class the next day*

Trying to do all that..

FALLS ON BUTT and not even landing 1/2 a pirouette

lol story of my life.

[TheDancer4ever18]

she has amazingly clean turns! I am very jealous!

[Geekfreediet]

Fat, really?

No wonder so many girls have body issues these days...

Anyway she's a lovely dancer.

[TheCowsGoMooXD]

she could totally do a triple.

[nnpurple]

am i the only one who dislikes her arms?

[Myluvangle]

Shes not fat?, is it because shes got big thighs?.. well most woman have big thighs, it just shows, you turned into a proper lady.

[soyuncatacol]

@Myluvangle- So if a woman doesn't have big thighs she isn't a "proper lady"?

[Myluvangle]

@soyuncatacol lol, you know what i mean.

[ThePointePrincess]

omg i wish it was that easy! oh and we use this music in class! :D

[vinanixox]

Crazy what people class as 'fat' nowadays. This girl is a beautiful dancer with a stunning waistline, stick thin arms and outstanding muscles in her legs. I don't understand where people come up with the idea she is fat at all. Idiots these days

[dancergirl5519]

she is absolutely beautiful

[prettyprincess7700]

This isn't fat. It is muscle, plus she is growing! Retards!

[hannahjholmes88]

she floats!

[animalsmiles]

She makes it look so easy!! :)

[MCCoutryGirl3]

I wanna take ballet again XD

[garfieldcomicgrl2]

She's gorgeous. She has the essence of a ballerina. Very graceful, and wonderful to watch :)

[ReeniexD]

What is that song at 1:34?

[iwillgethere]

beautiful to watch!!

[primagrace24]

She's beautiful!!!!! And her feet and ankles are very strong!

[WOWiHeartMusic]

@primagrace24 That's exactly what I said to myself before I scrolled down to the comments! Her ankles are extremely strong, then again mine are. I'm 12 and seeing what I will be like in the future is breath taking. I've been doing ballet for 10 years. I started when I was 2, do the math.

[dfc5359]

omg shes so strong with great turnout, great feet, great control! i think i just fell in love shes perfect!!!

[balletdancer12396]

If shes fat, im Morbidly Obese

[madisong98]

She's not even close to being fat! She is a beautiful dancer. Women are not meant to be shaped like pre-pubescent boys. We have curves.

[ballet5995]

She is a wonderful dancer!!!

[SpudxMuffinz]

I think it is sad that people call this fat. This is not fat. Just because she isn't scary skinny doesn't mean she is fat! This girl is a marvelous dancer with a wonderful, fit body!

[agmonkeyface]

Shes amazing!



[EncoreLPYZ]

how the fuck is this fat?

[Checkerfif]

q bien baila

[JBhomegirl]

guys its all muscle!!! which is extremely important for a dancer to have to be able to maintain their posture and do all that intense training! she has a perfect figure and is truly talented and graceful!

[akil13]

you cant be fat and perform ballet...therefore she's not fat, she's toned

[AurorasTears]

I love the music and her moves... Ballet is one of the most beautiful types of dancing. <3

[dontcomeinimnaked]

shes tiny! she just has toned legs. hence, the fact that they don't jiggle while she dances!

[Sabriina0x]

i cant believe there's people who say thats she's fat . She have the perfect weight not like some ballerina that we can see their bones some scared me she's healthy in shape and a taented strong dancer

[MorningGlory1901]

before you comment on her weight, can any of you do what she's doing? i didnt think so.

[jeoyanda]

@MorningGlory1901 I can, but I'm not compaining.

[jeoyanda]

@jeoyanda I mean commenting negatively



[nATaLiEGee97]

@MorningGlory1901 yeah! (: and guys, shes not fat, look at her arms, waist and ankles (: she just has muscled thighs from doing ballet :D

[felixanne]

beautiful dancer :)



[vdream19]

love ballet! :)

[julietlovesballet]

she is soooo good!

[Iceechibi]

What are the negative comments for? This girl is healthy and an amazing dancer. I am not fat, but I'd take her body any day because she is probably very short, and I am a very tall ballerina. D:

[HighestRank]

@Iceechibi Thank you Dr.Ducky for the concise health evaluation now please transmit the glucose cholesterol and blood pressure readings to her chart.

[Iceechibi]

@HighestRank Seems all good Nurse Jane. :)

[Zito3Ellada3]

Beautiful! :)

[pearlsnpjs]

Pointe-at-home videos always scare me.

And anybody who's got something against this girl needs a huge eye opener. She's gorgeous, has the curves of a woman and is healthy. I'd take her over an emaciated stick bug anyday.

[kthananan]

She's poised, elegant, got really beautiful feet and balance. My over 20years of ballet tells me you will be a great dancer, so keep up the good work. I like the way her teacher teaches too. Wish i could take classes with him some day.

[96HollywoodPotential]

You're gonna be a phenomenal dancer when you grow up keep up the good work and please don't listen to the negative talk, I think you have a great body and your fit for a dancer : ).

[LaLuLolly]

Absolutely beautiful dancing!! More relaxed expression in the face would add even more to it. Lovely :)

[TwilightLuvvverxxx]

Wow people, she is not fat AT ALL. She can't be more than 120 pounds. Your comments are what make young girls feel insecure and become bulimic or anorexic like @savinpigs said. You guys are just jealous that you probably never had the opportunity to become as good a dancer as she.

[savinpigs]

hi,

im not a dancer, but i am VERY thin, i have an extreamely fast motabalisme and personaly, i hate it so if i became a dancer i would love to run into her and all her body go into mine (if u get what i mean)!!! so quit makin out shes fat, billions of girls would kill for her body and comments like that are what turns a girl anorexic!!!! just because you people can't dance as well as her dosnt mean you can be so cruel!!!!

[7agplace7]

well she may not be the thinnest of all dancers, but that doesn't mean she is fat

[psycat4ever]

I didn't see the fat comment to begin with but if she didn't have the midsection of her leotard you'd see abdominals. Nothing but muscle that's primarily flat. If she looks at all "Big" it is because she has a ribcage and hips. I have the same problem. My waist can only get so small and "flat" before it hits solid muscle.

[sims3798]

are you guys totally retarded?!! she's not even close to being fat. you need to get your eyes checked.

[xaimeeXP]

Wow! This is absolutely amazing, you're so talented!!

[PrincessEmeraldNoo]

omg i bet when she put his video up she didnt want ANY comments on her weight at all so im going to ask you all to jsut shut up about it ! any way i dont want to be stupid and talk about it anymore in this comment so ill start this again ! Wow you are a great dancer ! see thats an appropiate comment !

[thegingerbreadgirl16]

I think that's She's not fat at all... she does have some more meat on her bones than most dancers but she's talented, good and pretty to watch!

HOWEVER to all the people saying "I am glad to see a ballerina who isn't stick thin"

Im sorry but not all of us really are anorexic!

I am very thin for my height(I am 5"6 and only weigh about 102lbs) and I definitely eat more than most of my friends... but I have a really fast metabolism and my family is all really skinny AND I dance for 3hours minimum

[MarieJohnston95]

if she is fat all previous conseptions of 'average weigh people' are obese

[xaimeeXP]

@MarieJohnston95 I'd actually say morbidly obese.

[ilovecunshumneums]

Ugh I hate her so fucking good way better than I'll ever b

[lexiasweetie]

this is absolutely beautiful. trying to rebuild myself on pointe on my own again so this is very helpful.

[7agplace7]

She is not fat, but you have to admit she has some meat on her bones, atleast she is not anorexic!

[CessTess]

she has passion!

[Chrisytinaa]

wow shes amazing!

[carina621]

are you kidding me? she is not fat. she is quite beautiful actually, and has a great body. i bet if she was wearing a dress with heels, people would say how slim she looks and the average girl would probably be jealous of her. for some reason in the ballet world, once you put a girl in tights and a bodysuit, they seem bigger.

i really wish i had the level of technique Jhung has invested into her.

[SpudxMuffinz]

I wish I could turn like her!

[MissInesM]

I don't personnaly think she is fat (to me she is beautiful) but the fact is that all the the greatest dancers in the world are veery slim (even skinny) and if she wants to became a dancer at ABT, Royal ballet or whatever, she will have problems because of her weight . And it would be a shame ! Because she is very talented. The real problem is that we can't make people choosing dancer in companies think that even when you're "fat" you can be gorgeous and talented.

That's my point of vue .

[Babybaer1258]

She makes it look so effortless. Sigh.

[xBaileyKatex]

Her arms!

She has BEAUTIFUL port de bras!

Great turns to!

[loveeballet152]

hey, she's a better dancer than most people I know with stick thin bodies!!

and I'm extremely jealous of her turnout!!

[SpudxMuffinz]

She is so talented! She dances beautifully with wonderful technique! Once she is able to smile constantly while dancing she'll be golden! <3

[andrewkylewebb]

Who ever the douche bags are that said she is fat, get rid of your pigish ways, and your beer gut before you judge girls you couldn't get. and if your a chick and said it, try doing some pointe....yeah, I don't think you can dance if you think this girl is fat, her body is probably mostly muscle, look at her thighs...I don't people understand how much body strength it takes to do pointe with that much grace.

[MegaJKfilms]

@bolshoiboy8 you just insulted the beautiful dancer and @EvanescenceROCKSS by saying the dancer if fat and the other channel person ir obese, congrats on being a jerk

[allthatcrysishuman]

she is not big at all she is a women and has curves. i think she is a great dancer, very talented!

[georgeou]

@allthatcrysishuman The camera angle and video aspect ratio looks very distorted, meaning it literally is making her look much wider than she actually is.

[BitzelCharmy]

Gorgeous!

[Dancehappy911]

gorg <3

[lindsayrachel]

she is a beautiful dancer! whoever said she is fat must be blind!

[BalletWatcher]

She's NOT FAT!! I for one am glad to see a ballerina who has a more normal body.

[12sloaner]

maybe people should think how the video was shot It was very close and the room is small She is by no means fat at all. And she is very strong and talented!!!!!! Don't hate

[CrazySweet985]

wat kind of pointe shoes does she use?

[CrazySweet985]

she's really good!

[kamango25]

Beautiful!

[chelsearayl]

I like him, easy to understand and obviously talented.... thanks for posting...

[enpointe64]

Her pirouettes are so clean! <3

[TheRandomness98]

does any1 know what music that is @ 0:51-1:05? i love it and would like to buy it

[dancer2bff7]

This isn't Level 5 This is more like level 3 or 4

[yaymeIamanut]

@dancer2bff7 Finis Jhung is a master teacher. i think he knows what he is doing.

[dancer2bff7]

@yaymeIamanut Welll i THINK it's more of a 3 or 4..

[EvanescenceROCKSS]

i like the fact tht shes not as thin as a match stick!!! even though shes tway thinner thn me, shes not like all those other dancers tht are like... invisible from the side cuz they're so thin!!!!! :)

[xDancer91x]

@bolshoiboy8 omg could you be any more arrogant? seriously get over yourself stop looking for ways to insult people on youtube, now thats pathetic. anyway with all this training you clearly do im suprised you find the time, only a really bully could be so pathetic. how about focusing on yourself and your MANNER which have clearly disappeared than posting horrible bitchy comments on here

[bolshoiboy8]

@xDancer91x I wrote that a year ago. A lot changes in a year while reading my comment I do maintain my opinion but I shouldnt have wrote it. I probably have a ton of these "offensive" comments around youtube. Its all about discretion and I understand that. I truly didnt mean to "bully", I was annoyed by the constant comment every time there was a dancer who wasnt thin she got praise but skinny dancers get harrased. Im really sorry if I offended you or the people in the video.

[bolshoiboy8]

@xDancer91x No one's perfect and no one should judge ANYONE because you really dont know what theyre dealing with. Generally, there is no good or bad. People make horrible mistakes but you shouldnt antagonize them and call them pathetic and say they are bullies who make bitchy comments. Its really ridiculous. It would be wiser to send them a personal message and state your case in a mature manner.

[bolshoiboy8]

@EvanescenceROCKSS dancers treat their bodies well. if you love yourself enough you wont be very fat because you wont put those bad foods in your body, if you combine REALLY quality eating with 6 hrs of daily excercise you will lose weight believe me. pizza is bad for you, burgers are bad for you, any fried food is bad for you, cakes, and candies, so if i want a burger, i buy lowfat beef and makeit myself at home use low fat cheese and i bake it in the oven, it is still juicy but not fried.

[bolshoiboy8]

@EvanescenceROCKSS its in part not your fault... americans eat very badly. some of the stuff i used to eat i look at it in disgust, its so gross. i eat almost EXCLUSIVELY at home.

[tutus4life]
