Juliana Bellissimo (15) Esmeralda Variation YAGP 2018

Juliana Bellissimo, age 15, performing Esmeralda variation. YAGP San Francisco 2018 1st place Senior Classical Division.

[@toticustv1556]

She is vary flexible, she seems like a soft dancer, I personally think she would make a perfect Aurora, with her fine lines and her soft balances, it makes her look as if she is floating.

[@ahha9393]

I remember preforming this variation when I was just ten years old and again when I was 14. I know this piece by heart, through and through, Juliana certain did not disappoint.

[@JulianaBellissimo]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jojodagostino7806]

The thing that makes me want to watch it again and again is how delicate and elegant she is with her movements! I'm not a dancer but this was amazing ♥️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐

[@madpapayas9652]

@Emma Lin how’d it go

[@gabyberron1916]

Did you just... break that tambourine with your foot?? 😂😂😂 wish I had that high of an extension girl, goals!! 💛

[@JulianaBellissimo]

Haha yup! I broke the tambourine!😂

[@gabyberron1916]

Самая прекрасная, элегантная восхитительная Эсмеральда ,просто шедевр.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ami.esselink5546]

This is one of the most beautiful variations I have ever seen 👏👏👏

[@berldlo8263]

gorgeous! This variation can be SO difficult in terms of timing... Ive seen Prima Ballerinas flub up the rhythm of the tamborine, tho ms. Bellissimo's wasnt perfect, its pretty damn close! And her facial expressions and poses were so great it was easy to forget about that! I cannot wait to watch as her career takes off, which it will will such an expressive face!

[@JulianaBellissimo]

Thank you very much!!!

Miko Forgaty is so much better !

[@tommax26]

Absolutely loved your performance, Juliana. Two things surprised me that are different from any other presentations I have seen. Your twisting at 50 and 59 seconds toward the left are the opposite direction from other dancers who turn their body to the right. Second surprise is that the music tempo is way slower than most orchestras play. I like this because then your every move seems much more deliberate and distinct. Thank You so much.

[@viktorbondarenko1192]

Великолепное выступление: без напряга, играючи, с большим запасом возможностей. Благодарим за эстетическое удовольствие.

[@liliadecuxa5090]

После этих гимнастических номеров так хочется посмотреть Уланову и других из СССР и посмотреть на балет на танец

[@teona48]

Вот с языка сняли! Мягкая, шаг огромный, техничная! Но где испанка, где характер, где артистка? Самая лучшая Китри- Плесецкая!!!

[@concernedperson8545]

@@teona48 это вроде же Эсмеральда была. 😜 И вообще, имхо, надо переключаться на живых артистов, при все моем уважении к ушедшим. Привязанность к прошлому и неприятие нового старит, имхо. И вообще, это девочка 15 лет, у нее все впереди, зачем сравнивать...

Why is the music sooooo slow?

[@Madeleine_Munzer_Chaves]

I agree

[@alidalouisa4462]

Unbelievable 🤮It totally spoils her performance

[@natashamilova502]

Очень хорошее выступление!!! Движения какие красивые ,пластика. Одна из лучших вариаций Эсмеральды !

[@mr1001nights]

Very good except the tambourine. She needs to hit it harder or give it more emphasis (w style of course). Also, she is trying to be very clean & show flexibility (which she does), but she is sacrificing a bit of musicality and sharpness/attack for it, which I think is a bad bargain. She should probably take some good character classes to work on this.

[@yoonketian2306]

She evn broke the tambourine lmao

[@xSuccubunnyx]

I think that's the tambourine's fault, not the dancer! Watch closely from the very first hit - the tambourine is already broken. She's probably just trying to make it last through the variation. Lol

[@_minwhile]

Beautiful esmeralda!!! I love it😍😍😍😍

[@JulianaBellissimo]

Thank you!!

[@zippetydodahday]

She OWNS this part and dance! Just exquisite and in control of the movements that flowed effortlessly! 🥰✅🥰

[@annnanas1991]

The music is very distracting . It’s too slow

[@metinmansur1458]

Cuz it s ballet

[@lourdes5110]

HOW in the WORLD was she only 15!!!!!! This is crazy good. So impressed with technique, acting, and f l e x i b i l i t y! Sold it!

[@scarlotte7773]

There's still room for improvement control-wise, but that can be easily enhanced. Other than that, your extensions, "feeling", arms, lines, and everything else is almost perfect!!!! I look forward to your success in a ballet career!!!!

[@beulah3484]

Fantastic !!! One of the best versions i have seen..Bravo !!

your developpe alaseconde is beautiful!!

She would do so good in swan lake, her movements are so unique and amazing

[@JulianaBellissimo]

thank you!

[@isabelleoa2297]

She is dancing divinly. No évident the music was slower than usualy. Thank you

[@victoriamochkovsky5935]

I think it was really good, except I think you were trying to show off your flexibility and stability (which you did), but that put you off music.

[@vivianyeet]

This is my favorite Esmeralda ever, I watch it like 200 times a day 🤩🤩. The first time I saw it I was like I love this. Very great technique and a lot of people have good technique but I feel like you really have the style, and the emotion I want to see. So thanks! Keep working

[@vivianyeet]

I can see your expression in your eyes

[@JulianaBellissimo]

Thank you so so much for your comments! They really mean a lot to me!

[@anabellaperez8763]

Ottimi i passi sulle punte in eundo della ballerina uniti ad un'espressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito e da un uso a sottolineatura ritmica del tamburello.Ottime le pose figurali e l'enfatizzazione commediale dei momenti più salienti. MOLTO BRAVA. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

Perfect !! I love Esmeralda and you 😍

[@ckikidanse5234]

Bravo, j'adore...vous êtes très élégante et surtout la diagonale de frappé de tambourin est exactement comme je pense que ça a été écrit : tout en finesse... un petit bijou, surtout gardez cette qualité...merci

[@NegroJonesStrikesAgn]

She needs a much better tambourine.

[@biancamadeiro7399]

Amazing technique! You are also self-confident - which is great!

[@user-lr7de7cx2u]

Как захватывает. Я ничего не понимаю в балете. Но насколько я очарована выступлением. Какое изящество.

[@b.quinchana]

I only saw this now, I know it's kinda old and you've probably improved so much by now! I just wanted to point out a few things. (I am NOT a dancer lol so idk. This is just my opinion.) Though typically, esmerelda would be attacked with a fiercer attitude, I kind of liked your interpretation!!!! It was like challenging the audience and it was like "Yeah!! I know I'm amazing!!! Watch me!" I enjoyed it so much!!!! The only thing really is the tambourine! Maybe hit it a bit harder? Dunno but, great job with it still!! You got so into character that you broke it lol!! That's great! 😄❤

[@sergico777]

Божественная фигура)

[@cathrinekatsigianni8823]

Not only clean techique but also suppleness and gracefuless !!!

[@inesdecastrocorreia]

Very clean technique and gorgeous lines!!! Brava!!! The only thing I believe you can improve is your artistry and stage presence. I feel Esmeralda needs more attack and fierceness. But it was beautiful anyways. Keep up the great work, wish you all the best

[@JulianaBellissimo]

Thank you!

[@user-im2zk8zl8m]

She's the most perfect Esmeralda that I've seen 😭😭

[@danceballetacro]

wow!!! She was born to dance!!!! I love her control and ease as she does the battement tendu jete derriere. also she looks like idina menzel

[@JulianaBellissimo]

Thank you so much!!!

Она и её танец - совершенство!

[@luisromerocuevas506]

Super bello, pero que mala onda que alentaron a velocidad de reproducción, cómo queriendo impresionar más, no hacía falta eso, ya de hecho toda ella es una gran artista bailarina...

omg best dancer ever i wish i could do that

[@RosarySoldier]

Such gorgeous movements! And she's was only 15!

Братцы ! Это же танец должен быть, танец Эсмеральды ! А она просто ходит. Если музыка в записи, то очень неудачный темп. Тогда балерина сделала чудо , вытянула )))

[@SobrietyandSolace]

She looks like she was inspired by another girl a few years before her, they had very large feet/long shoes and over rotated on some of their turns but had the most perfect timing and flair I can’t find the video anywhere

[@RavenSiren]

Brava! Beautiful turning!

[@betsycarwile4788]

I enjoyed your stage presence, it really gave me the thought that you were Esmeralda. The only thing I would work on is to be more precise and sharp with your movement, you slowed down your movements a little too much. The music was slow enough in general, and it gave the perfect amount of time to kick your leg up there. But other then that I really enjoyed it and I believe you performed it really well.

[@danceballetacro]

Very fine performance. Your eyes were mesmerizing. A bit more attitude and attack. Lines were sharp. My one complaint is not to telegraph the next movement... we see you thinking about it. This is also a problem with otherwise great ice skaters. We see the set up. Your talent is immense. Brava!

Thank and you are great dancer i hope i am good as you ,o started dance in 5th grade 💖💖

[@alexandrsherbakov9878]

Все великолепно: и грация, и техника, и пластика, но темп не соответствует темпераменту Есмеральды...

[@TDawg736]

So gorgeous... And just 15. My gosh. Surreal. The music needs to be sped up (a lot), and the tambourine needs to be more forecefully and loudly used -- Bam! -- but otherwise, this is just divine.

[@AdrianaLopez-tq4ph]

Excellent tecnique and you are so beautiful! But you should use the instrument more

[@RMRF555]

Что то очень вяло, хочется заснуть. Нет темперамента, короче не живенько.
