Jihyun Choi, 125 - Finalist - Prix de Lausanne 2019, classical

[@zzezeea]

She really stood out from classes. Loved her precision and expression. I can tell she enjoys dancing.

[@bentolotus734]

I don't know how judges do it. I had my eyes totally stuck on her the whole week. Couldn't watch anyone else. I litteraly watched the whole prize just for her. She is amazing.

로잔 첫날부터 눈에 띄어서 파이널까지 응원하게 됐어요. 어린나이임에도 발레리나로서의 기품이 느껴졌고, 명석해서 가르쳐주는 걸 금방 흡수하더군요. 우승할 거라고 생각했는데 결과가 의아하긴하지만, 앞으로 배울 시간, 발전할 시간들이 많으니 미래에 훌륭한 발레리나가 될것을 믿어의심치 않습니다. 부상만 조심하고 십년후 세계적인 발레리나로 자라나길 바래요^^

내 맘과 똑같으시다.

So rare to see these days such graceful spirit onstage, she was wonderful, not only on technique

[@seaofglass77]

This variation didn't have a lot of fire works or "impressive" steps, but she was SO CLEAN and PRECISE!! Excellent work! I'd rather watch clean feet and beautiful expression than entresix or spinning Susies .

[@pandaz1993himick]

She was so clean and buoyant with such a lovely sincerity to her dancing. Tbh I must no nothing about ballet because I really thought she would win, and I also thought the final would be dominated by Koreans...

[@OhFlamePrincess]

Michael Panayi I can sorta see why she didn't get it. Technically she's good and her precision is wonderful, but she definitely needs to work on her jumps and holding them in the air. If you want to get nitpicky, there were a couple moments when her leg and feet lines were a bit off too. Her upper body was beautiful however. Honestly, I thought I'd see more Korean girls too. I'm stunned at how fast ballet is picking up there.

[@pandaz1993himick]

@@OhFlamePrincess thanks for pointing those things out!!

[@lizb853]

Bravo, beautiful, well done, a gorgeous. Musical performance too. Here we have a prima Ballerina Assoluta in the making.

It always amazes me to see these 16 year olds doing dances like this when I had just started en pointe at 14 and by 16 was just starting to feel comfortable doing double turns.

[@EmEnz1]

Totally delightful.. joyous, elegant and graceful. May you go far.

발레 잘 모르지만 최지현 발레리나가 정말 좋은 무대를 보여줬다는 건 알겠네요 ㅎㅎ 모든 동작이 사뿐사뿐 꼭 깃털처럼 가벼워요 너무 아름답네요

[@vivienne4934]

I love this dancer. So expressive, gorgeous technique, and as light as a cloud

[@LR-yu3mx]

Linda!!!!!

[@seeker_anna1340]

Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. Her pique turns beginning at 1:25, are all on bent legs. Isn't that poor technique?

[@rd2291]

It's actually a lame duck, or pique turn en dehors, and the technique is correct. Try turning with a straight leg for lame duck, trust me it won't be easy.
