The amount of CONTROL she has is ridiculous!!! Bravooo!!!👏👏👏

[@americandreamer6092]

Emma K Shouldn’t that be brava?

[@PanzerMafia]

Simply perfect.

[@ld3354]

Absolutely breathtaking. I loved the height in her pas de chat, and the way she lingers en pointe before gracefully dismounting. She looks weightless and free as a bird - exactly how a ballerina should be. A VERY well deserved first place win. Here’s hoping she gets into a great company so I can watch her perform someday ☺️

[@MakeupCat]

She IS weightless!!! This doesn't look healthy anymore!!!

[@anika5094]

[@daisytwotoes]

@@MakeupCat I agree. Such extreme thinness is verging on grotesque.

I do not have an extensive or authoritative background in any aspect of dance or ballet. However I do have eyes, I have watched quite a few hours of ballet, and I work at various athletic and musical pursuits. My impression is that this young woman is doing very difficult moves with flawless execution. I am amazed. Even with heaps of natural talent, such perfect control is only attained with countless hours of disciplined perfect practice. I am inspired. Congratulations to this young woman on her accomplishment. I wish her a wonderful career.

[@Hechete]

Same boat. Absolutely no dance background, but I found an easy way to see just how difficult what she's doing is: try lifting your knee to hip height, then extending to your full leg length slowly under control. Without setting down, do it again, but with your knee and leg extension as high as you can go. Then just think about what she's doing here...

I love how she hold each position. Beautiful phrasing.

[@gloriacalungsod5956]

Yeah specially those attitudes, like most ballerinas balance them until they're on the side but she balances them until her body is in front of the audience.

[@katherinetotman9835]

she’s like graceful it just looks like she’s floating! 🤩🤩🤩 pure talent and flexibility is shown

[@ritaianniello4242]

Her lightness ❤️ love her, she's got such a great control of each part of her body.

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

SO lovely. Her releves were incredible. Lovely smile. Lovely everything. I love the syncopation of her releves.

[@mrparts]

She’s so precise and accurate in every move...not even a minute loss of balance or slight hesitation ..

[@jessicagrace625]

Just awesome. Hope to see her in years to come.

[@charl1121]

She's fantastic. And one thing I learned centuries ago when I was on pointe, not to make so much noise as the toe hits the ground, and so far, she's just perfect. Very impressive. Is she REALLY only 21, omg.

Who on earth can possibly push the dislike button?!? She is absolutely wonderful!!!

I love that she can turn. For me, having extensions and arches without being able to turn is like an ice cream without the cherry on top.

Outstanding. Keep dancing darling. You'll get high. Your hands and grace is beautiful.

[@riverwildcat1]

Prima ballerina! Breathtaking skill and grace. It's a joy to see someone so comfortable in their chosen art. Watched it a second time and it was even better. Brava!

Her pointe work technique is one of the best I’ve seen.

[@uniquepiece4693]

I loved the double pirouette in middle of the diagonal I couldn't even try to do that

[@lisastallingskeelor3328]

[@emma.l]

I keep replaying 0:44, she literally looks like a spinning top, or one of those ballerinas in a music box! I couldn't believe my eyes, incredible

[@minissa2009]

Agree. I love to see that specific sequence of turns in this variation held like this and not rushed through, and a lot of ballerinas rush this part. OTOH, this is a fairly slow tempo, which gives her time to suspend. There's a really good video of Guillem doing this, I think that's why I thought to compare her to a young Guillem.

[@ValeriaAndrusca]

Love how she is driven by he music, her skillful control, precision and presence on stage. Born to dance ! Lovely!

[@beatapogorzelska1241]

She couldn't have been accepted to Vaganova. Too short legs.Fortunately they are wiser in the USA.

[@andalilo]

What?? Those aren’t short legs

[@beatapogorzelska1241]

@@andalilo Of course. She has normal legs. To be accepted to Vaganova you must have long legs-mi 51% of your height. It is their standard, officially, not a conspiracy theory.

[@minissa2009]

@@beatapogorzelska1241 Yes, it's becoming a difficult world, esp in the Russian companies, if you're proportioned like a normal person! I've seen Marianela Nunez guest over there (one of the greatest ballerinas dancing today and my personal favorite) but I wonder if she would have made the cut for any of the academies there. She's proportioned beautifully but not like, say, Zakhorova.

[@minissa2009]

She looks like a very young Sylvie Guillem. Polished, classy, and technically superb. She even handles that slight over-turn on the fondu/battement releve (is that the right term?) well. Obviously also coached very well with so many nice details you would only expect from a much more mature dancer. A well-deserved win. Where is she dancing now?

[@kaitlynclem5967]

I believe she's still a student at Ellison Ballet. She was just 16 here.

[@Balletlover777]

[@elizzy8754]

I was also thinking "Guillem" as I watched. IMHO Guillem's Grand Pas is the gold standard and Beyer comes very close with her technically perfect, beautifully musical and charming performance.
