Glad I’m not the only one

[@ljosadis2755]

I too😂

[@faustinavalencia2565]

Same ❤️

[@LiveLaughLove8489]

So lovely. Elegant and graceful.

[@camillarose3521]

Ok but is nobody going to acknowledge the speed at which she changed her shoes???

[@whitneymccarthy-cole7547]

There's a bit of dead stage time, but she got better at filling it with faces and gestures in later performances.😊

[@peggyblue51]

I'm little worried if she wears theme properly.. I hope it will not cause any discomfort or injury problems for her legs.

[@riverwildcat1]

@@whitneymccarthy-cole7547 Perhaps she could get help from a stage hand? The beauty of the performance wasn't harmed.

[@siiilvery]

She wore them the whole time ,she didn’t change the shoes.. there was just tights covering them ;)

[@vainpiers]

@@riverwildcat1 A dresser would do a shoe change but generally a dancer will do their own shoes. She is covering the shoes with her tights or shoe covers. If she's covering it with tights she has to take them off completely otherwise they'd look odd, so she may have doubled them up.

[@riverwildcat1]

It would be a pleasure to see more of her, perhaps in a classic like Swan Lake. She has a bright future in whatever she wants to do.

[@whitneymccarthy-cole7547]

What a lovely thing to say! She wants to pursue dance but COVID is playing havoc with her plans. 😊

[@riverwildcat1]

@@whitneymccarthy-cole7547 Fortunately, our lives and fortunes aren't dictated by the forces of this world, but by the Creator who fashioned us and gave us our talents. At least KZbin allows us to see her love of dance, and appreciate His handiwork.

[@riverwildcat1]

Wonderfully fresh as a flower. Elegant, natural and seemingly effortless. A real joy to see!

[@NiVi192]

Ok, I get that talent and discipline might eventually get you to dance so gracefully, but that super quick ballet shoe change on stage is physically and mentally impossible!!

[@aurora_something]

I'm not sure if it's what she did here but most of the time the first part of the dance is done with pointe shoe covers on and you just take them off

[@shieldmaidenforchrist1310]

I think she had on a pair of tights over her shoes, so she just took off the second pair of tights.

[@Pauline6247]

That was absolutely lovely. I really enjoyed it. Well done.

[@mariliaaugusta2805]

Such lovely artistry and musicality. Light and graceful dance. I hope to see more of you in the future your teachers must be very proud, more importantly I hope you are proud every single day

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. If you have any questions let me know xx xxx

Wow amen! Hallelujah! God is pouring out His spirit on all flesh!
