[Sakeyha]

pleease make a video if you now so much you ppl have so much to say....stop bitching! ugh!! wtf @gillianspice

[Vexlulz]

Defend her being a beginner all you want, but if someone's trying to show you how to do something they should really know how to do it themselves first.

[freiano1]

you should not hear a thump if she was on ice it would crack and she wwould fall in

[wendyblue7]

omg i think she looks fine, sorry if it might not be absolutely perfect

Pretty good for a beginner, but what yu have to remember, is that while performing a glissage, you want to see the postiion as long as possible so you see the movement cleary in mid-air so you look weightless

[SweetSirendipity]

That was awful. Her knees barely went over her toes and were completely uneven.

[Konatashock]

beautiful

She maybe a beginner but she is changing her lead foot in between glissades and she needs better work on her technique. She has potential!

[Vexlulz]

I understand that she's a beginner and all, but WHY would you make instructional videos WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN'T EVEN DO IT?

Maybe i'll go and upload some carpentry tutorials. I mean yeah sure i suck, but you can all give me the benefit of the doubt because i'm a beginner right?

[Bethhlouisethedancer]

[Laurenanncoyle]
