Wowww. It’s amazing, they do challenge any thought about ballet. We get used to see the ballet as a delicate and sweet dance, but it’s video show us we can change our paradigms. 👏👏👏

Wow !!! Outstanding video I have ever seen in my life, really, that’s new for me because I know that ladies ballerina was dancing a new stype of style with a new song it’s the hip hop songs, as you know the ballerina dancers dance the classical model or with the classic songs, but now it’s very special. Really, that was amazing, I liked it. Keep up the good work and see you next time in another post. You rock!!! Your student Sidah. 💐💐💐

Watching the video the dance seems easy…but I guess it takes a lot of work! I love it, maybe a little stiff.However it shows an image of woman self-confident and resolute
