Ballerina takes on the BLACK SWAN ✨💪🏻

[@ilznidiotic]

Tessa's port de bras always catches my eye. It's so fluid and expressive

[@taycujoh5256]

Do u know what song this is?

[@Cove_Blue]

"It's good to be scared sometimes," is such excellent advice. And look how beautifully she did that!

[@clairegrant1667]

I don’t think she realizes how good she is

[@briavina6568]

Right! She’s so effortless

[@yncouldnever6019]

tessa's RENVERSES!!! OMG STOP- she has the most amazing lines just in general im so envious-

[@taycujoh5256]

Do you know what song this is???

[@kaylivelazquez7354]

Her slow floaty turns near the end 😭 my jaw literally dropped

[@mermaidopulence8539]

Ok but that float during the attitude derrière turns.....yaaasssss Tessa

[@StrawberryCow107]

I love everyone in the background dancing with her. ballet just seems so graceful, and it seems you would make plenty of friends doing it.

[@jrg305]

I thought it was cutthroat competitive

[@sh3rbertbee_]

@@jrg305 It usually isn’t competitive in dance schools like media makes it out to be lol. I’ve made quite a few close friends in my ballet classes ^^

[@jrg305]

@@sh3rbertbee_ that's good to hear. I used to be in group therapy with a guy who got to Harvard in ballet but then couldn't go pro and he can't get over it. He said he couldn't get his turn down. He had Russian boarding school too (and he's not Russian)

[@AlexisGymnastics]

@@sh3rbertbee_its different with classes vs auditions vs companies

[@marjamerryflower]

Wishing him a good life, different from what he wanted but it might even be better...

[@juchlu3081]

There is such an amazing transformation whenever Tessa starts to dance. It is a treat to watch her.

[@amymoorehead7185]

Tessa's torso movement was beautiful, as well as her port de bras. She did a wonderful job.

[@taycujoh5256]

Do you know what song this is?

[@asia5285]

Pure harmony. I watched this 2 times, this swan vibe suites Tessa so good, lines are gorgeous

[@teenalagree494]

Slawomir--Hold on Tessa, hold on 🤣I love Tessa, she is simply awesome!!!

[@I.lovemy_pets]

OMG Tessa’s lines!! STUNNING!! Her renverses are GORGEOUS!! And her turns are so beautiful!! Even thigh she says she’s not a turner I think she is!! A good true turner has clean technique in their turns!! Her pirouettes are so floaty and beautiful, and her attitude derrière turns are so clean and flory and elegant!! Her port de bras is so soft and pretty!! I don’t she realizes how good she is!! Her pique turns at the end her so floaty and clean and pretty!! ✨❤️

[@SandiTink]

She does the “wing arms” so beautifully.

[@aristired6252]

Tessa’s lines are stunningggg

[@jocelyn5196]

The technique and those turns are incredible!! Amazing to watch. Add a bit more swan arm and character and this would be a stunning variation for her in my opinion

[@salzkorn4]

Was Yesterday in a Swan Lake Ballet Performance and the Prima Ballerina did Not dance anywhere near this

[@cassygirlck]

Tessa, You don't need to be scared at all! You looked beautiful and did a great job! Keep going with it! ❤

[@artisaline]

Tessa is going to be an amazing ballerina for years and years. People will come to see her dance because she's Tessa. She will be a star.

[@azurabun0]

so gorgeous!!

[@maryannmackenzie206]

Such elegance! Bravo, Tessa! ❤❤❤

[@nafisamaliat3206]

So graceful 🤍🩰... She is my favourite .

[@jennv.4520]

i have this video downloaded and i watch it several times a day. she is absolutely incredible. would love to see this all in one go!!

[@あと-m3v]

I like her graceful motion.

[@StonyRC]

I've only realised in my older years, that the beauty and elegance of ballet can actually move me to tears. These dancers clearly work incredibly hard and suffer for their art, but they are breathtaking.

[@gestaltramen]

The haaaands, those gorgeous arms and hand flicks, aaaaaawwwwwwwwwww. Brilliant ❤ (legs are amazing, that goes by default for Tessa 😁)

[@SpirituallyGina]

Her arms are sooooo beautiful! I’m also seeing glimmers of Odile. She really should be more confident because I feel she dances the character well-Odile is a mighty one, so it’s really a deep compliment and half of the battle!! This company has amazing dancers

[@caityjayde96]

Stunning! I think with more practice she can be more confident, but she danced that beautifully!

[@cesrelawrence-towner9453]

Once she lets go and just feels that dance is a moment!

[@courtneytautges4997]

Stunning!

[@sarahb4513]

Gorgeous, I agree it’s a total vibe for her

[@Ddeonubread]

Dude ballet is so beautiful keep going! ❤🩰

[@sxerosie]

She makes it look so effortless!

[@thaiscardoso6089]

i love that she alternates between funny faces and the most graceful ballerina

[@clchaerin2361]

Tessa has a really ideal face and body for the ballet!! Delicate, elegant and seemingly effortlessly expressive👌

[@kiaratheexplorer4]

Wait what? As a fellow ballerina, I know this is extremely hard work, but why dread something you know you can slay at?!?! You did that girl! 🤣🩷

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

Maybe she wasn’t mentally ready or looking forward to being filmed because maybe she doubted whether she could do it perfectly. Meeting the challenge successfully hopefully gave her confidence.

[@АннаГончарова-ъ6д]

О! Красавица🎉

[@pjkhunold]

I like that even the male dancer in the background is doing the Black Swan Coreo!

[@heyosii440]

1:24 ohh that so beautiful, Tessa

[@greenteaoolongtea]

i LOVE tessa's black swans

[@Luisa-q7c]

She is so good and delicate❤

[@brimspoon]

The attitudeee 💯

[@crishalima5770]

she did black swan in a very odette way 😂😂😂 she was still so amazing tho

[@enlosluceros7236]

Her dancing is amazing and technically accurate but she gives me more white swan vibes. She would perform incredible to Odette

[@kat.jax99]

Absolutely gorgeous dancer. Bravo!

[@amandaparente3844]

Very beautiful and the back arabesque turning was amazingly on point her legs r beautiful and impressive... Hope she hits far

[@lolacliment8824]

Me encanta ! Lo que hace es muy difícil y lo hace precioso 💖 👍👏👏👏👏

[@eensio]

Splendid presentation!

[@rebeccamatist7036]

Awesome! Would love to see her and Amber as the swans.

[@jane_edits13.]

i think now that amber sand maya left, sadly, i think tessa is starting to be my fav XD I love how shes so goofy but shes so amazing when shes focused!!!

[@tarekstreasure3395]

I love all the dancers but Tessa is one of my favorite.

[@zabelliiii]

Tessa is perfect in Black swan

[@lovelyrainflowerfarm]

I really like this for her too. Even if she can’t see it herself.

[@arthrodea]

Tessa - you are so incredibly talented. Just let go and dance it! I feel like she's always holding back a little due to something - nervous to mess up?

[@robertowarren7007]

Good job!

[@theempress1104]

She is a regal black swan.

[@Valness11]

Its too bad she seems so insecure, she is really powerful. Magnetic.

[@carla-e3c]

She's really a swan!

[@niefmonger]

You can literally see her going, ballet activate!

[@belen.vargas]

Tessa ❤🎉

[@rk63family]

So beautiful ❤😮

[@thebodyillusionadileshem2984]

So beautiful ❤ mesmerising

[@Yidenia]

This is the version of Odile who thinks Rothbart is crazy for making her do this because why would anyone want to break up Odette and Siegfried but fine she'll attend this ball and be Siegfried's date if Odette really can't make it…😂😂😂

[@briavina6568]

Every qualm is sitting on her temple, if she lets it go she will seriously embrace it(to each their own what that means lol) but you’ll feel it, let go tessa, your body is you safeguard and your face will follow

[@WorldGrace]

So beautiful-pro-honored to see this just amazing what a graceful athlete.

[@minissa2009]

Her renversees!

[@katyasettimo2203]

Bravissima! Graziosissima! Brava!

[@elainegina]

She's a perfect Black Swan 🖤🖤🖤 She embodies the Black Swan exactly

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

Her bourrees are gorgeous

[@auroreb7081]

Superbe !

[@luisabolado]

one could say eva and slawomir always keep the dancers… on their toes

[@alejandravaquero7665]

Tessa también es increíble,❤ves tan delgada tan estilizada!!

[@АннаГончарова-ъ6д]

Сколько лет?

[@mirtabuireo8519]

Es muy buena❤

[@KateCarew]

I think we all know Tessa is an incredibly naturally talented dancer. Her lines are effortlessly beautiful. She has Grace and what I love is watching her develop confidence. You look at somebody like Maia you look at someone like Melanie and you recognize they are incredibly driven, and they will plow through extreme discomfort, stay focused and serious to reach the next level. I would say the same about Amber also. Is starting to get to that point I would say? This has nothing to do with ability, grace strength. It has nothing to do with what they actually dance like it has to do with inner drive I would say? You can have a lot of talent. You can have a lot of training, but at the end of the day if you’re in the 10% of dancers that make it professionally you have to be Laser focused you have to sacrifice pretty much everything else and you have to have so much drive and passion. That’s what I think separates good dancers from great dancers. Has everything she needs to be a great dancer and be a professional what I’ve often wondered about with her and I don’t even feel like it’s fair to do this when someone’s a child but with dance that’s how it is… I have wondered if she has the drive? She seems rather sensitive, which helps a lot with emotive Dancing, but it can make you pull back from pushing through pain, discomfort and insecurity. We all know she has nothing to be insecure about but it’s different when you’re the dancer. I feel like she’s finally going into her final year at NBA and she’s really developing her confidence quickly. We’ve all watched her struggle with turns and I think she gets in her head. I don’t think she has a lack of ability. I think she psych herself out and watching her through this piece, she pulled through. I think she’s developing the mental discipline to push through self doubt and discomfort. I think the next year is gonna be amazing for her. I really hope that whatever she decides to do she’s happy with it because she could be whatever she wants. I hope she knows that she’s a beautiful dancer. I hope she doesn’t feel self doubt, and if she does, I hope she can push through it. All I can say is, I’ve seen her giggle a lot, and I personally find that very endearing, but it does take her out of the moment and a lot of it seems like she doubts herself. That’s all I’m saying this has nothing to do with her talent her grace, her strength is nothing to do with her ability. It has to do with her mental Tenacity and I know I couldn’t do it. I do not have the discipline for this sport. And frankly, it’s not my choice to make. I think we would all love to see her become a professional ballerina, but at the end of the day it’s what she wants to do with her life, and just because somebody can do something doesn’t mean they should but I think she’s starting to make concrete decisions about moving forward because her performances are different. She looks like she’s coming into her own power.

[@andream9470]

Sorry...what company are you with? She might be a little silly in the studio but she obviously does the work and is full out on stage. She's already traveling to take on guest roles at other theaters. I think she'll be fine.

[@jojasimplofm]

OMG HOWW

[@VirginiaRios]

I don't know her expression seems as she's not Interested in doing It at her best. That's too bad because she's so enlongated and refined. I bet she can do better!!

[@milliedean4878]

Ngl, as a dancer, it would really bug me if my peers were doing the choreo full out behind me, like a lot lol

[@taycujoh5256]

WHAT SONG OS THIS I NEED TO KMOW

[@heyosii440]

She seems doesn't like it, but she is good.

[@KatyB341]

That is not giving black swan I’m getting more white swan vibes from her lol

[@Vasilia4]

*Not Melanie upstaging her in the background with her turns 😄*

[@ΛηδαΑυγερινου-ι3χ]

Lets not compare the girls. All of them are great.

[@Vasilia4]

@@ΛηδαΑυγερινου-ι3χ if you watch them regularly you'd know that it's common knowledge that Melanie is a great turner, whereas Tessa struggles with them. It's just a meme at this point

[@RikardCR]

Is she famous or something?

[@nicolefranciscavonkunowsky7527]

No se porque estas bailarinas no se toman las cosas en serio desde el principio… No veo a Natalia Osipova, Marianela Núñez, Dorothée Gilbert, entre otras con ese comportamiento tan poco profesional… De verdad llegarán lejos…???

[@nicolefranciscavonkunowsky7527]

La versión de Maya es mucho mejor… Sin dudas…!!!! Que le pasa a Tessa?? Parece que lo que está haciendo parece una broma…

[@alinelam5880]

Her legs are longer than the string I‘m holding onto for dear life. 🥲👍🏻
