  • is that tune i got rhythm? :P

  • ништяк подрочил

  • @iceprincessdeva The name of the tune is I got rhythm

  • Does anyone know the name of the music they used in this??

  • @KiliniLove What do you mean? Of course she's wearing pointe shoes. How are you going to do "revelé sur la pointe" without pointes?

  • she is using a barre...but still, very strong <3

  • @Sarahqiu ok

  • @KiliniLove ...but if she's going en pointe most of the time (even in other videos), doesn't she have to have pointe shoes on? I don't think you can do pointe in normal flats....

  • Shit...

  • why in all her videos has pointe shoes and no slippers??? I know that if you wear pointe in practising your feet wont have happy end!!!!!!!!!!
