Beautiful sense of motion and grace. Love the delicacy put into these steps: 0:07- 0:14. Also, the use of the arms from 0:45 - 0:50 looks so natural it almost seems improvised, just as if the phantom queen thought to gesture to something she saw in the mist... Well done!

Yes, very lovely. With time and watching other great dancers, you will learn to dance more from within and the steps will have more meaning to you and the audience. Now they are nicely executed steps and port de bras.

this was beautiful, but i just want to say, if you ever do this variation again, add more power. Giselle is very soft and fluid in her movements, but this variation needs more power. I'm not saying sharp, just power. Remembe, Myrtha thinks she's the boss.

Other than that, it was absolutely stunning :D you are very talented

That was quite gorgeous.

One suggestion, would be to keep turning out your feet during runs or the beginning hops. Otherwise, that was rather wonderful!!!
