Only 14 and she already expresses so much personality through her dancing! You cannot teach that - she can always perfect her technique but the charisma and stage presence are things you're born with. This young lady is going places.

[@BBQPine]

She went to England to dance ballet more

[@Squirrelbear5950]

It’s nice to see a dancer that young with not only amazing technique, but incredible artistry! Brava👏

[@susanbechtold1267]

Age 14 ? Totally exquisite, controlled, perfection personified for her age and beyond. GIFTED !!

[@brendadufaur37]

She is terrific. She has great style and presence. I love her Russianesque hands and arms.

[@irnasyach]

I got goosebumps watching that!! 14! Goodness the world is SO ready for her!

[@TheMotherOfBambi]

Cannot believe she's 14!!! The power she holds at such a young age to embody this role.. cant wait to see how she grows! Definitely a dancer to keep our eyes out for in the future

[@ladyoriza9327]

She has amazing stage presence! You can feel Odile scheming- perfect technique is great but it's the charisma that's harder to master. I'd love to see her do Giselle, I imagine she'd have an amazing interpretation of the Mad scene.

[@stellygamer1878]

now that was powerful

[@haleymiller5611]

I love seeing this version of the black swan variation

[@xSuccubunnyx]

Wow. Samantha IS the Black Swan. This is the most exquisite character work I have ever seen a dancer put into Odile. Really, really well done. She'll be known her whole career for this variation. Bravo!

[@anayarey]

I LOVE that she listens to the music while she's dancing! You can tell that she feels the music and it translates beautifully. It's much better than dancers just going through the motions.

[@Forrest.123]

She is the definition of future prima❤ also one of my favorite variations😊

[@pam0626]

She has a talent far beyond 14. Amazing job!

[@bluestarr2009]

Everything about this performance is spectacular!

[@HAgran22]

[@user-kn9mt5tx9w]

Молодец!!! Прекрасно!!! 👏💐❤

[@addiely0]

Her jumps are amazing!

[@ryuu_k]

absolutely gorgeous

[@kabardinka1]

Very impressive. I love how fluidly she phrases and her musicality, something young dancers rarely have. Looking forward to seeing her development as a major artist.

[@rufo2876]

I love her musicality!! I usually see that some ballerinas land the fouttes BEFORE the music for that start, but I prefer this!

[@ro-fz1jt]

I just checked out a book called Odette it's a retelling of SwanLake the cover is beautiful

[@sfmpbcptlp]

This blows my mind!!!

[@jamesfohare]

Bravo Prima well done thank you 🌹🎄🕊️👍

[@kathleenlynch5763]

Oh wow.a prima for the future.

[@martynaburchard33]

She looks like a mature dancer. She is flawless.

[@traceysheppard2296]

Excellent performance and passion

[@lucianaleiva518]

Is this Tchaikovsky original score? I love it

[@maudlaederach4549]
