Ballerina school in Japan sure produces some a amazing dancers, Akari and Yuzuki! They were both mesmerizing to watch, with grace and elegance. Congratulations Yuzuki, you have a bright future!

[@YAGP]

Agreed, so many amazing dancers with so much talent!

[@mariaashot5648]

What an exquisite gem of a young dancer! And the smile! The poise! The perfection of each tiny gesture! A name to remember, and to look forward to seeing, again and again! Thank you for all your efforts, Yuzuki Okubo, and thank you also to your precious family, and to your supportive and encouraging teachers!

コッペリアを誘うシーンが素敵すぎて何回も見てしまいます😌元気に両手を振って誘いだしてるの可愛い

コンクールに思えない。見入ってしまう演技力、見ているだけでワクワクする高揚感！この子天才でしょ！！！なぜ二位？

[@user-fi7mx4uv3y]

ほんと上手。 優勝してほしかったな。

[@heymengmm]

She deserves a gold

[@misspomerol]

Silver ? That was better than most of the senior level gold winners I’ve seen. That was real dancing and acting in tandem. That was storytelling. That poor girl got robbed.

[@claireling2472]

thats what I thought too, until I watched the first place winner. Yuzuki did really well, but if you watched the first place winner you would understand too, she was seriously so talented and graceful

[@amydewhurst3076]

This silver medallist is lovely but it is missing some of the feeling and the artistry required for it to qualify for a Gold Medallist. She has brilliant technique however, but seems to be treating it like a sport and a competition rather than an artistic expression and a telling of a story. I missed the story elements

[@be3522]

@@claireling2472 Do you remember who got the gold?

何回でも見たくなるスワニルダ🩰✨ 予選のときは4回転だったのに、 ファイナルまでに5回転に仕上げてくるのすごすぎる！！ 軸が少しもぶれてなくて綺麗だし、 アントルラッセの足の上がり方も半端ない！

[@user-sz9sk6hx9l]

日本予選で彼女の踊りを見て衝撃を受けました。技術も表現力も13歳とは信じられないくらい凄い！今後もたくさんの踊りを見たいと思わせてくれる素晴らしいダンサーだと思います😊

[@user-fi7mx4uv3y]

また見にきてしまった。 コンクールというより舞台の踊りしててすごい。

[@user-hu5wb9ly4l]

Absolutely perfect

[@DavidLeBlanc]

Very mature performance, well beyond her years.

[@YAGP]

We agree! For her age, she looks like a very mature dancer! By watching her dance, you can see that her talent and hardworking personality have gotten her to dancing this beautifully! We are really proud of her! Take a look at this video of Crystal Huang, Bronze medalist of the Junior Age Division, performing La Esmeralda! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmLcfpJnjqh-i68

[@user-mr3xb7fr3x]

日本予選の時に初めて拝見して衝撃を受けました。あれからさらに磨きがかかっていてビックリ！相当練習されたのでしょうね。 お名前覚えました。活躍を期待しています。

[@sn8323]

Phenomenal stage presence and virtuosity!!!

[@user-mp1hv2ng4z]

*Yuzuki Okubo* 👏👌✨🩰💎🕊👁👄👁 Wow ! Fabulous ! I love her : )) I don't know who won the gold medal. Notwithstanding, this genius ballerina cheers me up, stuns me. She seems to be weightless. Many thanks for your link which touches me, disturbs me, grabs me. Divine and ecstatic. Princess of dance, of ballet, she lives the melody and becomes one with it. Free electron. She twirls divinely. Fluid, supple, between heaven and earth, it evokes intoxication. Gait of a sylph, of a fairy so delicate. Exquisite gesture. Soft as water, strong as tensile steel. She flies. Between heaven and earth Everything is freshness, lightness, fluidity, grace. Vaporous, evanescent. What talent ! Everything seems so easy : it emanates joy, radiance, magic. Softness and perfection, perfect control, aesthetics and incredible technique. Outstanding. ​

[@TVY2013]

Yuziko performs with exceptional technical polish, confidence and charm ~ especially for someone so young. Congratulations!

Imagine if there is a 21st C “Balanchine” for her😀

[@Z_loved]

Thanks for sharing first of all. She is very wonderful at turning, balance and extensions. Like me at 13, my strengths were those same things but needs to work on allegro a bit more and I'm only saying this to help her career. Jetés was not my forte either. Much love to a fellow dancing talent. ❤

[@missdiamond5147]

She’s going to The Royal Ballet School, she has a wonderful future head of her.

[@candidacarino669]

To @ Mel 😊 As you study classical ballet during the next few years 🎉 you will definitely improve your 'Petit' allegro 🌟 and 'Grand' allegro movements. You will succeed and we wish you all the best for your future.

[@YAGP]

Yuzuki is a wonderful dancer! Really impressive for her age! We can't wait to see where her future will take her! If you haven't watched it, here is a video that we think you might enjoy of Eric Poor performing a Variation of Esmeralda! He won the Silver Medal in the Junior age division, Men's category! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYutnoOEobWEjKs

I'm 17 and not nearly as good😳👏🏻

a little too rigid but she will only improve over time

Will Asians be dominating African dance soon too? 🤔

i really hope her height won’t limit her career 🥹 she’s such a gem
