Ballerina Michaela Mabinty DePrince dies aged 29 - video obituary

[@emilerose1424]

Since first seeing her, I thought Michaela DePrince was among the most five beautiful people I have ever seen. Beauty, intelligence, grace and artistry. Thank you for visiting us, Michaela; so sorry to see you go and so sorry we did not do more to keep you. Shine from the heavens with the rest of the stars.

[@peabase]

Her parents deserve a place next to Mother Teresa. They adopted no less that 9 children, in addition to raising two biological children of their own.

Mother died. It was on my phone. Can’t get it now to read?

[@sxt4447]

I completely agree. Stunning human being inside and out. I’m so upset that she passed but I know she is dancing among the stars in Heaven

[@cbojorquez]

I am in total disbelief with the news. I came to know Michaela in the First Position documentary. Not only was she an amazing ballet dancer, she was an incredible human being inside and out. Fly high beautiful swan!

[@anitaklara7428]

But how? What happened…?😮😢

[@lorig7077]

I'm glad she at least got on the stage. Realized a dream. She is such a graceful beautiful dancer. You can't take your eyes off her when she is onstage. TragicLoss

[@lilsels]

in the description beyonce is so irrelevant, making her seem like just a background dancer to a singer. Ridiculous. She is so amazing. Mention the fact that she is a world known amazing ballet dancer who promotes different races in ballet. Terrible appraisal in the description. She is worth more than that.

[@RoseSharon7777]

AMEN!!!! Beyonce is irrelevant when it comes to true inner talent and beauty. IMHO.

[@kintsugi-c6u]

I knew about her before Beyoncé. I had no idea she was ever in her MV. So irrelevant. Michaela was a star on her own

[@wandertree]

Beyonce was a step down, for sure. She was far too talented and real to participate in that muck.

[@marichristian]

Sometimes a congenital heart defect proves fatal, early in life. Ballet puts enormous stress on the body.

[@amethystdream8251]

As a movement artist myself - sometimes it feels like the public prefers a tragic death that they can mourn over, instead of appreciating a joyful, healthy, thriving artist do their thing. I long for the day that the public takes accountability for the misery that THEY project onto artists. Dancers have to live relatively healthy lifestyles in order to do what they do, so early deaths are not normal
