  • Why do you watch?

  • i hate ballet its dumb

  • I don't particularly like ballet but I thought this was fantastic.

  • Hi, may I know the title of the music, please?

  • When you do a live recording you have to take what ever comes

  • Seriously.. why are so many people coughing?

  • i'm emily, the girl in the video. just watched this for the first time in like two years. i was so awkward then! i'm sixteen now and have definitely improved since this performance. so far, i haven't been physically or emotionally scarred haha. thank you all for watching this. hopefully my more recent solo will be posted soon. :)

  • oh my god ididntdoit05 your SOO fricken wrong the dance studio united we dance puts kids on point at like 8 so go complain to them not classical ballet centre who knows wat they are doing and jrh1941 is very corect! thank god someone knows wat there talkig about! and angelsdescend she will not be cripple unless something bad happens like a car acident and no the dancer instructer and classical ballet centre dosent push anything

  • that 12 year old is good better then many I have seen over the thousands of videos over the web I have seen, good form and she is over her boxes while en pointe, though the jette could have been a bit straighter.

  • The part when the girl died to the end got to me. *Sniff*

  • A 12 year old ballerina! How cute!!!

  • THERES NO PROBLEMS ANGELSDESCEND!!!!! mrs.shields is the best and is a profetinal dance teacher and i dance wit her if u are not strong or u just cant do point she wont let u if u start and cant do point shes not going to let u do it and get hurt! i would no i dance wit her! u are just jealous!

  • its also the intructors they dont understand that kids are not lil adults

    they push them pass their emotinonal boundaries.

    I'm a psycologist and i use to take ballet I have to deal with this kind of problem alot so

  • What kinds of problems do ballet dancers get??? I never knew kid dancers could get any, for me it was quit the contrary.

  • i think she is awsome dancer

    but shes too young she is going to be crippled by the time shes 30 and i think all the dancing just takes away from the original story

    i still think its a good preformence

    but yeah i hate how parents push things and the teachers just want to look good theyll say watever they need to say but in their minds they no wat they are doing to those poor children

  • The instructor is no ordinary dance instructor. She has been there. She is the one who determines when and if the student is ready, not the parents.

  • emily is a good dance and at other places they have girls at the age or 7 on point mrs.sheilds u have to be 11 or 12 and strong

  • i love mrs.sheilds! and the girl there awesome

  • 12 years old and en pointe? Stupidity reigns in this world, I swear. Too young, no matter how long she's been taking ballet! IT'S BAD FOR THEIR LEGS AND FEET, PEOPLE!

  • The instructor knows what she is doing. She has pricipals with NY Ballet and others in the US.Students that just graduated from Huston Ballet School and North Carolina School of the Arts. Her credential are excepional

  • And I'm a Chicago National Association of Dance Masters certified dance instructor! I have thoroughly looke dinto the medical aspects of this. Look at the feet of most of those "professional ballerinas," and they'll tell you how bad it is. Most of them have to have foot surgery by the time they're 25 because of the strain they put on them at such a young age. Pushing kids that hard is not a good idea, no matter how talented they are.

  • She's 12 and already on pointe! She must have been doing this a long time! Amazing.

  • The timing was all off. When I performed this I was a star!!

  • Excellent performance, it reduced me to tears.

  • Great performance. My daughter Blair performed the same part twice. The first time was 14 years ago in the very same costume made by her mother Shirle. It brings back wonderful memories.Enjoy them while they are young. They grow so fast.
