[cursive700]

He's name is marcelino sambé ( the black kid) great promise of the portuguese dance :D

[americangirl910]

what is the name of the variton at  1:59? plz help

[ds1i]

Harlequinade best fits Kurumi Shibadaira! Last year's Paquita Variation didn't show her full talent!

[beydv]

Does anyone know the name of ballet the last kid danced to?

[ds1i]

@beydv  Flames of Paris

[ds1i]

3:40 Sambe is doing gd

[96balletlover]

Risako Ikeda's turns are so beautiful!

[lalaman76]

...YAGP is all flash and barely any technique

[tutus4life]

@lalaman76 amen.

But the girl who did esmeralda in the dark red tutu won and I'm glad for that.

[punkviolin1]

@tutus4life look at Katia Almayeva in "La Esmeralda" and compare her with that girl.

Katia danced it when she was 11 and she's a million times better.

have a nice day :)

[tutus4life]

@punkviolin1 yeah she was also eleven, I hate watching little kids whack their leg and do a million pirouettes, this girl did it with class and character

[thefourandonly1]

@punkviolin1

Umm...sorry, but no she's not better.

[cursive700]

@thefourandonly1 who

[TheBalletDancers]

@punkviolin1

but now katia sucks

[cursive700]

@TheBalletDancers dont say that

[alliemuffinpants]

kadir seems to be creating his own prep. its like a 4th second combo

[bailo749]

i don't know who taught some of these men to do their preparations in fourth for pirouettes. almost all of them were either completely open or overturned. i'm amazed that they were able to turn like they did with such odd placement; although, it could just be the school of ballet that they're studying?

[PurpleSnakexX]

i'm i the only one that thinks that everybody dances la esmeralda?

[elkerlove1]

exactly what position is kadir okurers pirouette prepping from?

2:55 and 3:03

[danceismything2]

pause at 2:38 for kadir okurers jump its incredible

[RemaxArrabida]

Marcelino Sambé- perfect...perfect...perfect

[mochabubble]

yes, its harlequinade

[Kaderderz137]

i adooore kurumi for some reason. her hands are kinda stiff at some parts but she is excellent. i looove her.

yong gyu choi is also good. soooo clean. i wish i could be like that.

theres like a lot of good dancers here.

... im not a ballet expert so feel free to correct me if i was wrong. i wont mind. :)

[danceismything2]

no i am a dancer and kurumi alaways amazes me when i watch her dance her technique is excuisite

[FD02Ballet]

@Kaderderz137 Kurumi is stiff beacause she is supposed to be a doll =)

[cursive700]

@Kaderderz137 i think her arms r stiff because shes a doll and ur right everyone who won is awesome

[Tap1Snap1]

yanuet, i'd say copelia because she looks like a doll and my dress last year was a doll and it was from copelia.

[BlackberryMARS]

I can't get over some of these guys' feet. Sam Zaldivar, Marcelino, Kadir, Jeffrey. They have more arch than some of the women!

[yasa1718]

[yanyuet]

[lemonadesun]

i love the shirtless black kid with the white pants!!! that's some real dancing!! (finally) and really talent and emotion

[shiningmer]

@lemonadesun that's marcelino sambe. he's one of the best up and coming dancers in Portugal.

[massie0107]

@shiningmer he just won gold medal in jackson .. over derek dunn of the united states .... he is AMAZING .... i saw his performance live .... and the crowd was amused by him

[yodainmypointeshoes]

@lemonadesun  ah i love marcelino sambe! :D

[kikosebas1]

@lemonadesun He is actually from my school! His name is Marcelino Sambé, and he is from Portugal! Now, he's in Royal Ballet, in London.

[theballetomane]

@lemonadesun I agree. Hate seeing kids pulling tricks with perfect technique but no emotion.

[Isabel6129]

@lemonadesun he is fantastic!!!!! One of my favorite dancers! He is portuguese (just like me eheh :) )

[sineiderangel]

São Maravilhosos!!

Nayon é lindo!!!

[nolacoppel]
