    as another performing artiste, she looks like principal material to me - she doesnt look stressed and overly focused on getting the technique right, rather the technique is already there, she's relaxed and completely in character. that is incredibly hard to achieve

    • @kristin123a
      @kristin123a Před 6 lety +10

      It will seem as tough you are wrong. I believe she’s stopped dancing. She’s not in a company anyway.

      Ingri A salty much?

    • @demarawilliams7419
      @demarawilliams7419 Před 6 lety +8

      Ingri A she just open her own studio in San Jose.

    • @jewelmarkess
      @jewelmarkess Před 5 lety +50

      @Mexus Nexus - why Ingri A's telling the truth is "being salty"? She worked for a year in corps in Binghamton Royal Ballet, but then she stopped dancing. She said in an interview she lost passion. She likes teaching, and she is also attending a university as a premed. In terms of principal material, she is absolutely wonderful dancing variations in competitions, but doing variations and winning competitions isn't the same as working in a theater. Besides, there are many great girls we don't see in competitions at all as best professional academies don't send their students to competitions.

      Great performance & mastery of technique. However her legs are too short. Cannot be a principal ballerina. Very unfortunate. Heard this girl dropped ballet to pursue an acting career - good for her.

    Yes, she really is all human. It is just amazing how she controls her facial expressions while exerting the energy required for the spectrum of demands on her person.

  • @abbyelisw
    @abbyelisw Před 9 lety +97

    I just learned this variation at my ballet company's summer intensive and I cannot even compare to Miko. She is so inspirational and I really look up to her.

  • @annieoddo1475
    @annieoddo1475 Před 9 lety +494

    She is brilliant. I wouldn't say she nailed the part of the black swan - it does lack some sophistication - but still, for 16, pretty amazing. There are some moments in there that I wasn't really feeling, but on the other hand, there are some that were really beautiful. And I think the artistic sophistication will definitely come for her with age and experience.

    • @lilronnyg5724
      @lilronnyg5724 Před 9 lety +60

      I think she nailed the part and the act, the only reason she didn't reach sophistication was because she's naturally doesn't look old enough.

    • @annieoddo1475
      @annieoddo1475 Před 9 lety +26

      I don't know, it just didn't quite sell the part of the black swan IMO but I guess that's a matter of taste. It was still really good. Like I said, she's brilliant and shows a tremendous amount of promise as a ballerina.
      Not that you can really compare a teenager to a professional adult but I think Gillian Murphy is my favorite black swan I've seen thus far. Taking into account both character and technique, she was brilliant in an unparalleled way.

    • @daffo595
      @daffo595 Před 9 lety +17

      Annie Oddo her acting is kind of same-ish for a lot of her variations but yeah i think its with age as well as experience. probably when she starts in a major company she'll begin to develop her own sense of characterisation

    • @annieoddo1475
      @annieoddo1475 Před 8 lety +1

      Agreed 100%!

    • @annieoddo1475
      @annieoddo1475 Před 8 lety +2

      It has nothing to do with black swan, I just didn't think she portrayed the role with a lot of originality. we're allowed to disagree.

  • @BalletmusicDK

  • @mindrolling24
    @mindrolling24 Před 8 lety +47

    16! Classical ballet really is the most evolved and beautiful art form humans have created and still create. I know their feet are mangled, they are often always in pain and that it is a rather cut throat and ruthless world, but it is still sublime. I was a gymnast and did ballet on and off between the ages of 5 and 16, but sadly I found horses in this time and thus have had most of my toes broken. If I didn't, I'd buy some pointe shoes and take adult classes again *sigh* Well, I am 48, so I think I'll keep doing the ballet and gymnastics warm up exercises mixed in with the yoga, meditation and horses and just watch these amazing artists as they continue to delight the world with their beauty, determination, courage and damn hard work. Thank you all xxx.

  • @mayarivera541
    @mayarivera541 Před 7 lety +8

    when dancing, mostly ballet, it must look strong, effortless, graceful, and light all at the same time. And she achieved all these. Great job Miko! You're an inspiration to young dancers such as myself!!

    Miko, you are an absolute artist.... a true prodigy. I know you are happy studying to be a doctor, and I am happy for you. However, you are one of my favorite dancers of my life. I am a dance teacher. I have shown First Position dozens of times over the years to my dance students. I wish I could see you dance more!!!! Best to you always!

    @The1X1Guys Před 9 lety +77

    Her technique is so exquisite.... she's so graceful OMFG!!!! #lifegoals
    On the other hand, though, her expression is kind of flat. She's supposed to be embodying the Black Swan; a more sly expression would be fitting-- or at the very least some sort of change in expression throughout the dance would be nice.

    I remember after watching her perform her third performance at Alonzo lines ballet she quickly grabbed a water bottle and chugged it. I think deep down inside she wanted some strawberries n cheese on that table but she looked passed it and continued practicing her pirouettes even after the performance. Ppl don't understand the pain and dedication she has. My god!

    • @erikachan8870

    She's perfect but I find myself distracted by thoughts of grocery shopping and my favorite shampoo when I watch her dance. Then I realize the variation is almost over and I've missed all but the last perfectly torqued pirouettes, meticulously set up and placed. Every trick is checked off the list.
    {{sigh}} it must drive Alys Shee crazy.
