[@Satopi3104]

i love the little smirk at 9:34, like "eh, you like that, right?" It's nice to see dancers show personality but also reactivity to what is happening around them. It's so easy to get into this zone where you shut everything out, which is not great not just because it can make you rush or late but also because you want to interact with people sharing the stage and the audience, you know? So much better for everyone all around if you are tuned into your surroundings. Some of the other dancers did have that glassy, over-concentrated look to them, and I don't blame them one bit for it, but it's impressive Yuma is able to be so level-headed at this stage in his career. He's only 15!!!

I also competed in YAGP myself for 3 years, and no the judges DID NOT watch the class. But sure, tell me how much more you know about ballet. What I said wasn't incorrect: she DID struggle to find coupe and she DID struggle to maintain her turnout. Frankly even if the rest of the variation was perfect that does not deserve a gold medal!

Girls under the age of 16 should NOT be allowed to perform Odile's variation. If the variation is to be danced in character, and it should, even in a sterile and vapid ballet competition, then the choreography and the suggestive nature of the role is far too adult for eleven year olds to be dancing. Preteens have no business tackling "mature adults" material like Odile. Forgive me for being old fashioned.

[@miikoshka]

Agreed, it's easy to forget that ballet is a form of storytelling and some pieces are just inappropriate for children to perform.

[@camilasanches5559]

Aves Raggiana a

[@dancingcat87]

what about dances like Latin dance? Many moves are suggestive in nature, but you can't delay training till the moves are appropriate for the young dancers. They just kind of copy what they are told to do without fully understanding it.

[@avesraggiana]

J You’re hitting at a subject on which my opinion differs from the vast majority of more permissive and more casual observers. I don’t believe it’s appropriate for young girls to learn highly sexualised dance forms like some types of Latin dance, jazz, or pole dancing. Call me puritanical but young girls aping moves from the more adult side of human experience, regardless of their awareness of the suggestive nature, just seems like making young girls grow up too fast. It also seems just a little creepy. Again, I fully admit that this is just my hang up. In any case, ballet is a great dance form with which to start. Even if you move on to other types of dance when you get older, you will always bring with you the core strength and sense of line that ballet cultivates in you.

日本語で失礼します。 一番初めの女の子妖精が踊ってるのかと思った。本当に美しい。

Y PUM un comentario en español. Que lindo que un paisano haya ganado medalla de oro, enorgullece al ballet mexicano 💕

Brady is on dance moms now. I hope he will be just as good as he was then.

[@CanalCerejinhaCherry]

Beautiful presentation I loved my princess soon arrives at this level I hope her dream comes true one day 😍♥️

[@peanutbutter4612]

2:50 OMG he’s on dance moms now! Wow! I had no idea how good he was! I mean I knew he was really good but I didn’t know he was THIS good!

[@ellie5636]

I will never understand why there are so many tween-Odiles Just my opinion but I feel the role is too old for an 11 year old

[@ellie5636]

Just read through the comments and it very obviously isn’t just my opinion :’D

[@torradablindada]

I agree with you. Odile seduces the prince in Swan Lake. A 11 year old girl should not be interpretating that kind of actions

[@applebeezez5142]

Have you seen hip hop dances for kids??😐 they’re just...

[@cupid3890]

@@applebeezez5142 lol

[@applebeezez5142]

- rainbowine - it’s true though I’m in hip hop and like always thinking... “I’m 12” But to be fair everyone else is older so it’s not that bad

[@eurekamreum5458]

7:28 he looks so much like Vadim Muntagirov from the Royal Ballet!

[@Moonfire257]

Mostly for those of you critiquing the dancers, #1 just remember, They Are Real People; #2 learn the variations (see if maybe that coupe should be crossed O.o); #3 I dare you to try to get that good, instead of hiding behind a computer screen whining about various placings, who does which variations, etc. You should be celebrating how beautifully these people danced and how hard they worked to get where they are now, not pointing out little mistakes that they are probably still beating themselves up about. People a lot more experienced and knowledgeable than I'm assuming the majority of you, placed these dancers. And last but not least, yes, I have done most of these variations, but I guess I'll leave it to you to decide what was a mistake and what wasn't since "youtube viewers" are judge and jury. Feel free to comment/reply but know I won't be reading or responding, I actually have a life.

[@crunchybubblewrap]

I love your comment sense. I know you won't be responding tho O_O

[@Moonfire257]

Thanks! (I was never here)

I know practically nothing about ballet, but can we talk about how ethereal Yo Nakajima looks? Feel free to critique me or point out things if I’m wrong, I just love how beautiful she looks, and especially her costume!

[@thisisjnv]

Teary eyes while watching this. Cant be so proud enough for these children.

[@its_flippin_awesome843]

[@isabelgrace4241]

the sliver junior medalists dress was so pretty and elegant

[@devrilz]

it's a yes for him, folks

[@filmsbyeffy]

it makes me sad seeing all of these 11 year olds on pointe

[@michaelboniface5698]

dancing on n

[@lexieboyd1074]

I agree.. it's okay for 11 yos to start pointe gently if they have well grown and strong feet but the level these kids are at they must have been training en pointe a while😯😯 they will have very painful feet when they r older probably, I hope they r ok

[@rachelwei2286]

dancing on its perfectly fine for them to be on pointe. There’s no magical age to start pointe. Beginner pointe dancers also progress faster than some people think. These kids are probably all in some sort of training program where they dance and train everyday. That means they most likely have pointe class everyday and teachers to help train them and hone their skills. Outside of class they probably stretch and strengthen on their own. All of them shown are steady on their feet and that shows that they have the proper strength to go on pointe. Some may also be twelve, because they might’ve had birthdays after YAGP registration.

[@D.A.A.321]

That Portuguese boy Casalinho was amazing! The black swan that followed was also one of the nicest black swan variations I have seen.

[@tulippp8818]

Oh that 9 year old is such an amazing ballerina she dances like an angel well done to her
