  • Very nice. Lovely facility, quite a natural turning ability. She needs to work on her feet and her strength at the end. Also, is this costume for a Corsaire odalisque?!?

  • @bnsmith562 yes it is (:, and thank you for the corrections !

  • shes good but she doesnt really do much for me.... great extention though.... what did she get?

  • top twelve in classical and second in contemporary at the Chicago regionals.

  • turn out, turn out turn out, and don't hop onto pointe!!!

  • Thank you, but i am taught to hop onto pointe. And i am working on the turn out very much, thanks foe the help!

  • La Esmeralda should be banned from YAGP. its way overused and doesnt show much. just turns and extention. theres a lot more to dance than tricks. but she was pretty good.

  • I completely agree. I am so sick of watching that variation, and most dancers don't even have the personality of Esmeralda down, so it just becomes a trick rather than a performance.

  • Very very good! But she needs to strengthen her ankles, work on her turnout, and make her movement bigger. She was wonderful to watch though!

  • Beautiful technique but she needs to have more stage presence. I find a lack in excitement while she dances. But still beautiful :)

  • She's OK, she needs to get stronger, and i agree with the comment below the echappes need to be bigger for la esmerelda. over all, she's a beautiful performer.

  • good job but i just thought ur echappes were really small in the beginning. lovely turns and extension. :)

  • I absolutely LOVED watching her!! Amazing control great balance great extensions and turns and BEAUTIFUL artistry and beautiful body!!!

  • I liked it very much, though the movement of the hips at the beginning it's kind of not THAT classical.

  • You're kind of the first one I watched who got the rhythm right in the end... I'm pretty impressed. that makes it way more difficult but you did it. Great

  • @katielazar Well, although she has an amazing turning ability and great extensions, her movements aren't very classical. Also, her legs are turned in and ballonnes need more work.

  • Hey, I used to compete against you at the miss bluegrass competition!
