She’s not actually on pointe yet, but she looks as if she is. Quite remarkable performance, a joy to watch.

[@АлександраНиколаева-ь2ь]

It was really beautiful. I was nervous cause the dancer did this tiny little step out and felt herself so sad that I was worried she would do more mistakes. But she's really tough soldier! Finish was brilliant 😁 that was great performance,please dont get upset))

[@Yidenia]

Especially for age 9, she has a strong mental fortitude! You could tell she was a bit shaken by that but she recovered beautifully; it's hard to find the downbeat especially in this piece where the musical structure is fairly uniform and the downbeat isn't as obvious, but she pulled through. Well-deserved gold medal :)

[@saramont90]

Pra mim!!! Perfeita!! Pequenos e só isso!!! É natural!! Perfeito só Deus!!!!!

I love watching these types of videos. All those children (and teenagers, correct me if I’m wrong) are so talented! Yuna has beautiful control when she dances! When I was 9, I was barely learning how to do a single pirouette.

so graceful😊

[@Lanhua.v]

Oh my goodness this was amazing!! I don’t know much about ballet, I just enjoy the beautiful dancers making art look graceful despite it being so taxing, and I gotta say this little dancer has so much talent. Clearly a product of hard work with a natural flair of elegance from I’ve seen that makes a lead dancer. Amazing job again her extensions were marvellous.

[@YAGP]

We agree! Yuna is incredible for her age. A true artist! You might want to check out Natalie Steele performing Talisman variation in the San Diego Semi-finals: @ she is older than Yuna but absolutely amazing too!

She is going to be amazing when she grows up! Her balance needs improvement, but it's normal for a child to struggle with that. Developmentally, a nine year old often just doesn't have the ability to develop that sense of balance.

手も足も爪もきれい！左肩が肘が前に出る時に前に少し出るので、左半身のバランスが崩れる時があるので、舌の先の位置か睫毛を少し伏せて眼球の位置で調整すると完璧なバランスで開脚のまま戻ってポーズ長く保てます。両手の長さはひとつの骨の各場所で伸びと硬さ厚みが個人で違うので、各部位に同じ圧迫かけないように、空気と同じように手足動かせば、倍音の音の糸の中で楽に踊れます。共鳴して舞台で音が消えても体が動いて自分の息が聞こえれば拍手終わるのを待つだけです。自分の指と席の壁か空だけ見て、相手がいれば勝手に踊らされて終わりますから。見た人に一生言われますから。素敵だった寿命伸びたびっくりしたとか。たまたまその時その時だけ見た人だから。全部見られたら慣れて、あれ今日は普通ぽかっだけどどうしたのとかチェックはいります。舞台の機構で器材が多いと電磁波対策ないと子供は敏感で動きにくい！ 人間コンパスだから。跳ぶ時ふわっと楽に着地できるシューズで底の少しピンクの汚れ目立たない色に染めてもらうと、きれいなまま出れます。
