For me, contemporary dance is like watching and listening to someone telling a story in a foreign language. I cannot really understand what exactly the story is about but I can feel the emotions connected to it.

[@alexander12305]

Here's the same dancer competing in a more traditional "language". She is very talented! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmW8nICIeJZmq5Y

[@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis]

For some reason I think it’s about Time and a glass of water. Idk I’m just guessing.

[@yomama6350]

It is so French. It seems to combine the art of miming with the art of dance and they both tell a story and are so expressive and the artist really shows her talent!

[@gambler143]

I thought about the world. Multiple times she attempted to "capture" a ball or a globe.

[@MarlenaMarley87]

Such a beautifully accurate way of putting it. Really has me thinking about how despite not being able to understand the string of sounds different cultures use to convey or describe an experience, there are universal physical expressions of emotions that transcend language barriers. A born and raised Ukrainian can easily recognize the contortions of grief upon the face of a Frenchman. An Ethiopian woman needs no translator to understand the elation on the face of a Norwegian woman as she welcomes her first child into the world. Nearly everyone on earth can read the anguish in the eyes of another human being who has just lost basically everything. Especially these days, it’s all too common/convenient to view the world as ‘us vs. them’ or ‘us and the *other*’, while completely overlooking the human experience that connects all of us. Wish the world took a bit more time to speak a little more ‘Human’. Imo, ‘Human’ is the only language that truly matters…

[@lindamalone9174]

She was telling a story from the first motion. She was captivating. For me, she was telling a story about the passage of time in our lives. How it hastens past us, slows, falters, eludes us. How we want to recapture it, perhaps. The thing is, she made me think. I do want to know.

[@MarlenaMarley87]

I had just replied to another commenter who compared this piece to listening to a story told in another language; the details aren’t clearly understood, but the emotion comes through perfectly well. Perhaps my favorite part of art (all art forms, really) is the conversation and discussion of perspective it stirs up. The other comment made perfect sense to me. Yours also makes perfect sense to me. It’s endlessly fascinating to me to hear what thoughts, emotions, and perspectives come up for different people when we consume a singular piece of art. Art is designed to make people feel things. The discussion of art essentially creates a huge buffet of emotional responses that we can all sample from. The artist connects to the audience to convey a story, and then the audience connects with each other to discuss how they perceived the story. How freaking cool is that??

[@randomvintagefilm273]

You are really intelligent. That was an incredible interpretation. I'm not good at that, so I appreciate your ability to do so!

[@gambler143]

The flow was just incredible. Each movement led to the next like there was no where else to go. That dance had to evolve exactly like it did.

[@ll5974]

I wish i could know what it feels like to dance like that. I wish i could BE in that dance. Exquisite.

[@Rain62442]

The fluidity and connectivity of her movement is just gorgeous. Everything is precisely as it should be... I'd be jealous if I didn't know about the hard work and long hours that are necessary to produce a piece like this. At this level, talent isn't just given; it's EARNED.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

She sure knows how to fill the stage with her presence. I felt like I was watching a lot of different people dance,

[@ulrichhobler8755]

This performance has left me speechless. The young lady is a great artist!

[@marielcalder103]

Mesmerising! I could not take my eyes off this young lass, and I don't like contemporary dance usually.

[@mackiceicukice]

She is living it ! Just wonderful.

[@Markph7]

Age 17. Wow. Amazing sense of maturity in this piece

[@PureNRG2]

She is the brush strokes on a canvas of music.

[@julesma]

So much beauty and love it makes me cry ❤️

[@koreailoveyou]

아직 20살도 안 된 어린 학생이라는 게 믿기지 않는다

[@cato8nica]

stunning performance - her hard work really pays off, she is incredible. I hope she is happy

[@margaretames6522]

So beautifully expressive and captivating! It’s wonderful to see a classically trained dance perform a contemporary piece like this one. The moves are fluid and controlled🌹Gave me chills! Brava!

[@Pepsi_Please]

wow.... My breath caught in my throat. Many full body chills flushed over me throughout. It wasn't until the end that I realized that silent tears were streaming down my face. wow....

[@daniedel6333]

To be this good at her age shows she was born to do this and shows off all of her hard work through the years. Congratulations sweetie!

[@victoriapresser3569]

Beautiful. I wish they'd add a bit of background with these pieces, it would be nice to know what inspired them 👍

[@michellewoodward4698]

That took my breath away. Was truly magical.

[@popcorn43]

She is like a leaf, twirling around in the wind. 😍

[@walterzollinger6677]

That’s a beautiful analogy. Very well observed and you couldn't say it more amendable.

[@wolfgangconrath1521]

Ausdruckstanz pur. Fliegen, drehen, greifen, spüren,alles,Füße, Hände,ein Auf und Ab von Träumen und Wahrnehmungen, Schmerz und Freude,. .das ganze Leben. Wunderschön. Noch viele solcher Momente sind uns hoffentlich beschieden. Liebe Grüße

[@lindabervoets1361]

Wow this is incredibly good! Magical! 🥰

[@marymccluer1630]

It seems she had incorporated elements of mime in which her dance. Interesting.

[@MiTmite9]

No clue how I ended up watching this ---- but so glad I found it. Wow.

[@russelldurtschi]

Not flashy. Not flamboyant. Just one graceful move after another beautifuly connected. Geoorgeous.

[@hardworkingdiva]

Stunning… absolutely stunning! I need to support my local contemporary dance companies more. Thank you for this reminder. ❤

[@ktirepmats5625]

Quelle précision !🇨🇵

[@sadiacollin2622]

Le fil du temps qui souvent nous échappe et que l'on voudrait, souvent, retenir. Compliments dans la beauté de l'expression qui rend intime la valeur du temps et sa fugacité.

[@sheilaghoconnell7542]

Wow. An incredible performance.

[@CL-lo4wd]

She is perfection. Such artistry supported by technical mastery. And she’s just 17!

[@morganelegaret4380]

FLUIDITE ET CALME...MAGNIFIQUE...

[@daffyduck4195]

Among all the dancers, this seventeen-year-old has captivated my attention the most, particularly in her classical dancing.

[@SB5SimulationsFerroviairesEEP]

Très joli et sympathique les enchainements de mouvements de cette danse! Belle musique également! Bravo à cette jeune demoiselle de 17 ans! Stéph.

[@ingridllinas5612]

Love her corporal expression.

[@writing_everymeal]

such an amazing performance!

[@First._.Last.]

What beautiful fluidity.

[@haybob2527]

That was an absolute pleasure to watch, breathtaking movement. 🙏💖

[@NestorPFader]

This is poetry in motion, it’s like the Sistine Chapel ceiling rotating.

[@starsang]

리듬감이 훌륭한 에너지로 발현된❤ 아름답슴다

[@cloverkalimba3368]

beauty at its finest

[@ShalomSarahJoy]

If ballet and miming had a beautiful artistic dance baby, it would be contemporary.

[@sarazohar4923]

The dancer, music the flow is heaven

[@janbrien9907]

Prix de Lausanne....it's easy to see why. Outstanding!

[@davidthompson6636]

This interpretive dance was anchored - meaning that I (as one not educated in this art) could get its sense

[@Ugushka]

incredible talent. Bravo! The best dance in my life!

[@carollamond9482]

now, that’s how to do it….exquisite

[@myriammonfront2692]

Superbe

[@stevebeimler2579]

Time passing…. But let us not limit what is poetic with words… ❤️

Maginifique !

[@djtan3313]

Now that’s dance!

[@areareare9953]

Wow, her sense of balance is exquisite. She looks like she's made of rubber one second, and steel the next. Just amazing.

[@Orimthekeyacolite]

Contemporary dancers are some of the most insanely athletic people in terms of their body control

[@ЧистаяСовесть-ч5ъ]

Потрясающая лёгкость и пластика. Хороший рассказ.

[@GuiltyZeppelin]

It made me emotional

[@ibeetellingya5683]

This is how one writes poetry with movement.

True beauty

[@Mkhululi_Owethu_Usama_Khumalo]

Love it ❤

[@MariaJose-oh5yh]

Espetacular! Maravilhosa!

[@Slarti]

It's lovely and it would be nice to have something other than piano music for once. Don't get me wrong, amongst my favourite music are the works of Bach for keyboard and Mozart's Piano concertos - it's just a but unimaginative.

[@aldretaldret4310]

Bonjour, oui, ici, la demoiselle a si bien maîtrisé l’ élan retenu que l’ effet retard est bien obtenu à la fin, … cependant, à la fin de la musique, les gens applaudissent et non à la fin de la chorégraphie… tant est si bien que l’ on a l’impression que la danseuse finit avec du retard, alors que non,non, en réalité, pas vraiment. Bref, je crois que les gens du public n’ ont pas saisi. Maintenant, si retard il y a, l’ essentiel est d’avoir vu l’ amplitude et la perfection du geste comme presqu’ au ralenti. Cette technique est maîtrisée par la demoiselle. Très bonne idée pour un chorégraphe. Une expérience à faire et à approfondir. Magnifique 🤩 Encore merci pour cette idée créative géniale. Merci, merci. 🙏🏻😘🌹🌹🌹

[@pixiesbigwhy]

This made me so emotional and I don't fully know why...it was just so beautiful :) It reminded me of Maddie Ziegler in the Chandelier video, only matured and refined.

[@BlueToro79]

Toll, toll, Toll ... eine wunderschöne Darbietung !!

[@NetGuyMsia]

Wish there was some context to this beautiful dance, to help us viewers understand what the dancers wants to convey. Nevertheless, it was beautiful.

[@SlawekM.]

Excellent body control, great fluidity in the motions. Bravo!

[@mingli6858]

amazing！

[@rawforyou5514]

fantastico!!!😍

[@MariaAlvarez-sm8bv]

[@karensantos5421]

Yes, its the same girl.

[@Mysticeve]

[@JH-bb8in]

HYBE or JYP should recruit her to kpop group

[@TartempionLampion]

I cried...
