what the heck was that *polite soft clapping* at the end?!?! I would have been losing it throughout the entire performance!!! She's incredible!!!!!!!!!!

the kid in the corner is the wicked witch of the west in the beginning. Don't you just love stage light's.

As my ballet teacher said its a quiet hard variation to do on pointe

Amazing talent and she gets the deadpan Marcy down. ❤❤❤

whoah she's amazing

She's cute and all but they look way too young to perform this show. They all look 7-ish, it feels like it'd be a bit inappropriate for them to sing about accidental erections, broken households and sleeping three hours a day...

i'm truly amazed. bravo!!

so much strength in this

wow bravissima

Absolutley adorable! I love how every line was perfect AND she wasnt on pointe! Honestly 9 years old is too young, you need to have atleast 3 years with 3 hours a week of SERIOUS ballet to go on pointe, and im sorry but when your 6/7 your not to high up and serious about ballet, and the bones and muscles in the feet have to be mature and strong enough, so i dont like seeing 9 year olds on pinte. But this routine was so clean, cute, graceful and bravo to her for dancing so beautifully at 9 years old at the lincoln centre at the YAGP finals. Overall this was perfect. So watch out cuz this is a future prima ballerina

Loving the fact she does NOT wear pointe shoes! Very age appropriate, I saw tons of videos where little girls the same age of this cute ballerina performed variations en pointe.. She is absolutely amazing! Controlled, clean, fluid.. Brava!

so beautiful :) i love it!! your going far ;)

Amazing! I adore her!

what the...??? you have got to be kidding me! My jaw is on the floor! That was incredible!!!!!

Lovely technique and superb musicality. A true joy to watch. Best wishes for your ballet career.

I adore this child! Just delightful!

What an adorable Aurora. My only small critique is her run was not very delicate. Very sweet! Loved it!

She is absolutely adorably wonderful! Such gorgeous articulation, musicality, port de bra, jumps....she is suburb!

好き

Amazing.

Totally agree with all positive comments, although her turn out needs a little work. Well done, beautiful.

so cute~~~

This little girl is amazin'!

Gorgeous

She has manner of Ballerina already and obviously the discipline...Asian- no wonder...I bet - Russian teachers:)))

lovely!

and also very good musicality

so clean technique! she is flawless!

clean technique,very beautiful!!!!!!!!

clean technique!!!! very beautiful!

clean technique!!!! very beautiful!

very clean and good technique! good control too... and also her demi-pointe is so strong..

BRAVO!! Absolutely amazing. Mature beyond her young years. I agree, exceedingly well done WITHOUT pointe shoes. Not mean't in a bad way, but I highly doubt should could have done this variation so brilliantly in pointe shoes at her age. She'll have PLENTY of years wearing them when she gets older.

wow! excellent arch and use of pointed feet. best wishes in the future!

Wow, what a great little ballerina!

nu. Que técnica de braços e mãos!!!

Sorta makes pointe shoes seem superfluous. Lovely all the way around.

WOW!! Her use of arms is so tender. Love her echappe saute. Can't believe she's only nine-year-old.

Oh my goodness! Lulu is so beautiful!! I'd love to see a whole song with her tapping along. It would be really cool to see a relaxed tempo, a kind of gypsy or bluesy tune with some attitude. I just imagine it would suit her so well. ::Applause!!:: Well done!

Shes great

wow!

I'm soo glad this girl isn't en pointe. there are far too many poor teachers and parents who allow girls en pointe before the age of 12 or 13. Hopefull this young dancer will wait 3 or 4 years until she starts pointe.

Who is this dancer? Very nice! Good job at pointing those feet and, well, everything!!! Do you know who trains her?

She is soo cute!

woah she's good

Woah... She's so young, but so serious about her art... This kid has more natural talent than anyone I've ever seen, and I've been dancing for 15 years.

Great job Aki! We met you at the Joffrey in Chicago (my daughter is the one who is in Billy Elliot, ) Keep up the great work!!

I had to watch it five times in a row. Aki's presence on stage is mesmerizing. The Phillip Glass score is a perfect match to Aki's perfect composure. The choreography is excellent -- flowing and holding, flowing and holding, simple and daring and clear and challenging, showing Aki's fantastic control, rhythm, grace, and spectacular abilities. I have to watch it again now.
