Years of training and hard work! But it paid off. Beautiful Job.

[Littledancermiss]

Even if this is a very old video, and that she's dancing in the best Ballet family ever ...

I can still say that she's sooooo good!

[bighank59]

good job

[CAvikinggirl]

Absolutely beautiful dancing....perfect technique. However, I saw no happiness or innocence on the face of the performer. Isn't that what the Sugar Plum Fairy is all about???

[mayainmotion]

This lady is such an awesome dancer, yet I haven't been able to find out anything about her. Does anybody have any information on her?

I saw this version on the ovation channel. I liked it and I can't believe it was made on the year I was born.

[AppleKingdom987]

[longstre]

I have watched this 5 times in a row, it is so beautiful. Mesmerizing.

[Lycana3]

This is Breathtaking :D

@iluvdance88 As a ballerina, it's not about weight to be pretty- it's about weight to be able to carry yourself and be carried by the male dancers.

[bkleinsasser]

Anyone notice how skinny the box of her pointe shoes are??? Wow. 

[PointsofData]

@iluvdance88 That's probably from working so hard. :/ It's hard to gain weight when you're constantly practicing.

[winniethelog]

@iluvdance88 She looks beautiful.

[iluvdance88]

She looks so bony. Not just skinny, but bony. Gain a little girl! Thats not attractive.

[dancegenuis101]

HOLY CRAP!!!! she was soooooo good!! Imagine the muscle to need especially at minute 1:00. Like holy moley! I want to be that good when i advance aha but i dont think that will happen, but great job!
