Its so refreshing to see most of those young ballerinas dancing with soft shoes. I think that nowadays they put point shoes on much younger girls than they should.

[@DocNoochy]

They absolutely do, those girls on point should not be, theres no way their growth plates are near closing, they could be fine but they could also do serious damage all so what, they can be a gimmick of the tiny ballerina on point shoes?

[@thetruthhasconsequences58]

Pointe shoes

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

Lily is so gifted, really could only say she tenses her arms a bit and needs to soften them more for ballet but amazing

[@JaxiXD210XD]

I agree, hopefully that will improve with her training. She is at a great level for her age imo, can’t wait to see how she will mature as a dancer!

[@Hi-ur4tu]

Lily is now 12!

[@4u_30_manraojasminetang4]

Agree! I love her sm

[@rachelgreenberg26]

weren’t you on inkmaster?

[@bpliu6544]

To specify that even more she needs to soften and her shoulders as she is like squashing it together and pushing it up.

[@gloridas5007]

Any coincidence that the 2 US ballerinas were both on Dance Moms? 🧐😛

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

I used to ballet, but hated it, but now I can see why my mother loved when I did it. It has really helped me with regular dancing and overall agility.

[@YAGP]

Yes, dancing has so many benefits for your mind and body.

[@user-tn3nd5fv9h]

Same, I hated ballet! I did other styles and now I am doing ballet as well, and I am so much better in the other styles. Wish I started sooner :(

[@amymacsings]

I saw that first girl and said, "Why do I recognize her?", then I looked at the description and said, "Oh, cause it was Lily Ketchman, that's why!" And also, Eliana=only non-ballet dance. Good for her! No hate to ballet, but too much can get annoying.

[@piapony876]

There are different categories you can compete in at yagps so the other girl girls competet in ballet and she did in contemporary, there were many others dancing a contemporary choreography as well, but not shown in this video
