- With stints at the American Ballet Theatre, the Dance Theatre of Harlem, and the Dutch National Ballet under her belt, Michaela DePrince now reigns as a globally renowned dancer. Credits: Choreography by Peter Leung/House of Makers, track: Quiet Music, composed by Nico Muhly.
My three-year-old daughter just watched this and screamed, "SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!!" She's certain she wants to be a ballerina now
stormkeepersage thats how Michaela started! I just read her book. She was four when she found a piece of magazine with a ballerina on the front cover
You should show her first position sometime.
You should let her start ballet.
Lol

Is your daughter in ballet now, 4 years later? 😃
She is an incredible dancer and deserves more attention for it!
Lily's RUclips Channel she just got a commercial about paying your bills on your phone either chase or verizon. ive seen it 3 or 4 times. she also has a book and a contract with netherlands dance company. she ia also always being interviewed by some media outlet. shes getting alot that other girls with more talent dont ever get
Cayla Prima I posted this a long time ago and I know she is famous
Lily's RUclips Channel she was getting tons and tons of attention 2 months ago when you posted. she is above average, theres way, way better, and she is blank on stage with zero personality on stage.
Cayla Prima She has an interesting story, to literally come from a war-torn country to rise to the upper echelons of a very insular world. That’s something to aspire to. Most dancers have been coached, prodded and cajoled to excellence from an early age. Her natural talent is what guided her from a late start. I am in no way interested in ballet but she inspires me just because of her dedication and perseverance. That’s worth talking about!
Kim M I agree
I love how she has brown point shoes.#blackgirlsrock
Annah Stevenson what does the color of her shoes have to do with “black lives matter” and all that? 😂 like i stg someone could do anything just as good as a white person and people would be like “WOW THE BLACK GIRL DID SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE SHES BLACK.” like there are thousands of white ballerinas who have trained their whole lives and they get barely any recognition while someone who is black dances for a couple years and is world famous because apparently black people are discriminated when really people tend to like them more because of “trauma of discrimination” that they’re great great great great great great aunt went through. like, ok white ppl have moved on but apparently a lot of black ppl haven’t because everyone always sets lower standards for themselves as black people and everyone says “omg she did this and she’s black” like get over it pretending that they are better because of the color of they’re skin is bullshit. everyone is capable of the same thing. she is there because of hard work not because she has darker skin and brown pointe shoes.
idk_what_to_put_here1887 BITCH ....... BYE
@@idk_what_to_put_here-dk6bj You seem triggered over a simple comment. Stop being so sensitive lol. She's a beautiful black ballerina. Get over it! 😘
@@idk_what_to_put_here-dk6bj The person was just stating their opinion and complementing the dancer and showing pride for black people. I feel like you were being a little too dramatic over the fact someone just wanted to compliment a dancer's shoes and showing support for black people. I feel like white people and black people equally get respect in the dance world no matter what age, gender, sexuality or nationality so there is no need to get upset over a person's opinion.😁 P.S. Not many dancers are black and no matter what race people across the globe has shown improvement and committed their whole life to dancing barely even getting a childhood or going to college. Everyone has their opinions , but there is no need to be upset over small details.
No, she’s right, that is the 2nd thing I noticed and was happy to see brown ballerina shoes.
OMG she's too encaptivating. You just can't get enough of her dancing. There is no one in this world or has been that is this good. She's practically flawless - she creates pictures when she dances. The eyes see many things when she dances. One just wants to live and breath her. She's what all dance tutors have been wanting to see from everyone that aspires to be a dancer. She will go down in history - well she should.
11kwright she already is :)
Agent lost girl Naturally, I guess she would be. She feels through her movement. Many dancers think that expression is about pulling that stereotypical face and really trying hard to over over stretch. However, with her it's all natural as though it was a natural calling to dance. It's easy for her to emote feelings through her movements.
11kwright ejjzmmMal
She is wonderful but calm down a bit ..
Incredible maturity for such a young dancer. Her body control is stunningly beautiful.
SHE'S STUNNING!
she is a great dancer like if you argree

I would love to see her in Swan Lake!!!! She'd be fantastic!!!!!
She was in a performance of Swan Lake. ;-)
Graanvlok omg tell me where to find it!? When? Did they record a video of her dancing? I would love to see in Swan Lake!
She is amazing. Born into poverty and orphaned, she never gave up on her dream. Her beautiful adopted mother believed in her and helped her achieve her success. ❤️
This performance enthralls me. I suddenly started to see her as this beautiful bird with flowing feathers and wings. I can watch this over and over.
Seereene1 ❤My exact view of her
Mind blowing! She looks like a beautiful dancing angel!!! Ah Perfection is beautiful. What a lovely gift from God and I thank you.
She gives me goose bumps and hope.
Mind if I put that in a movie?
Perhaps it's just an unintentional bias on my part but a lot of the solo ballerina's I've seen have had at least parts of their dances covering themselves, sort of closed off and trying to protect or shield. I've seen that posture in plenty of places, but not here. No part of this beautiful performance felt closed off or shielded. It was beautiful.
It's true - her arms never folded, crossed and pulled in as if to protect from harm and retreat, pull close something desperately. No, she was open the whole time. It felt powerful, but vulnerable (not in the sense you wanted to hold her and comfort her, like the folding in posture) but in the sense she could be attacked for displaying herself openly. It was an interesting feeling.
As a dancer, I am in awe! So proud to see this, I pray woman of all cultures start pushing to be Principal Ballet Dancers. Beautiful lines.
Damn I wish I could analyse this too
An exquisite experience to watch!!!! Lucky me
Michaela watching was like arose blooming so amazing so blessed so talented keep being happy, your dance is your language of love!!
Michaela. You dance so beautifully. You've turned tragedy into triumph. I'm thankful that you've shared your gift; your love of dance with us. Stay strong and keep doing what what you love!!
This is so gorgeous and it deserves more views than PewDiePie gets.
Tofu PofuThe world is full of hollow skull people, that's why she doesn't have enough views
Tofu Pofu exactly! I can't stand pewdiepie!

Bruh
@@btbfree ah yes, because not being entertained by ballet makes people hollow skulls
I read her book, and I relate to a small degree, because I'm a dancer and have been since I was 4. I've never been that good-but I love dancing, and seeing her absolute attention to every detail in her movement but making it look so natural at the same time is just amazing. After all the struggles she's gone through, it's amazing to see this.
Gorgeous. I love how expressive her arms are. Everything is so controlled, but feels so passionate.
The most captivating dancer I've ever been lucky enough to set eyes on, hope she gets the credit she deserves.
michaela is amazing she is such an inspiration and as a black African dancer i can relate to all the difficulty she went threw and what i love the most is that she rose above all of it and came out strong and beautiful. i love you michaela
That’s a capital B (black)
An honest mistake I’m sure
For real for real!
I love the way she dances! It's so elegant yet poweful, sensitive yet expressive. She is simply perfect!!!!
It is still difficult for some people to see the movements of a black ballerina, but I saw and felt your every move. They were so sincere and powerful; full of live and vibrance. Your movement says you have overcome and beat the odds of rejection and fear and you exude confidence. You have arrived and you are here to stay. I can see your halo, so shine girl shine. You are so wonderful and beautiful.
Jeanette Dawson what movements are of a black ballerina that differs from a white one.
Brown Queen I know right? I've never heard anyone say that. I'm confused as well.
Wait.... what
What’s that suppose to mean??
@@brownprincess7189 Ask your ancestors who thought that was possibly true when they exclude blacks from this genres. I never thought the capabilities was different for anyone. Given an equal chance all human are capable of extraordinary things. Don't act like you don't know what I'm referring to. Listen to her story of rejection before triumph!
That was one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen. I dont know why this made me cry
I love to discover a new ballerina to add to my small list of favorites, and she's definitely one of the top ones! And I love when choreography is filled with surprises.
So powerful yet graceful. Hauntingly stunning.
My heart just breaks after watching her documentary on NBC and coming here to watch this. She is so graceful, and poised and strong. I cant believe she has endured as much as she has and is able to go through life with this. It just gives this dance so much more meaning for me and I cant help but cry. She has truly overcome alot and i thank God for her. This truly has inspired me to keep moving forward no matter what. Greatness is in her around her. Keep going strong michaela!!!! You are truly a great role model for other young women to keep striving and persevering no matter what. Thank you.
A rare talent and individual. May God bless and keep her!
Respect for you Michaela. You came from so far to develop into one of the most talented ballerinas. You fulfilled your dream at last. Once again: respect, respect and respect!!!
She reminds me of the workings of a clock in parts of this dance. So precise and keeping time. You are beautiful and so strong.
Absolutely stunning performance. I just heard your story - what an amazing spirit. Michaela, you are so beautiful and you have undeniable talent. I was mesmerized ... I want to see
more!
So incredibly beautiful ! I couldn't stop watching
every second dance, every inch of her body is art
She is simply poetry in motion
How graceful.. ART.. at its finest.. Beautiful.. Breaking down boundaries.. 👌👌👏👏👏👏👏💯
Magic in motion. Strength in beauty. I am awed by this amazing performance. Thank you
Like why am I crying right now? It's Dec 25th, 2022 and I am spending my Christmas cry my eyes out at this beautiful work of art. Merry Christmas to anyone who is seeing this, and many blessings 💛
I can honestly say I’ve never watched a full ballerina performance. Her performance was so captivating! You could feel all of the negative, hurt, and pain being released from her spirit. I loved it. So graceful.
Beautiful. 💜My grand baby is 7 and African American she love this art already.. She is inspired to do the same. She has ballerina dolls as well. It's her dream I will inspire and support her at all cost. 💜🙏Thank you.
I love this. Love the articulation of her arms. Bravo... deep emotion.
She’s exquisite. I’m on a Michaela DePrince binge. Can’t get enough of her. She’s a consummate artist. May she grace us with her beauty for many years
Wow! Michaela is amazing. I love seeing her dance. I hope she has a great career.
I forgot where i was for a moment. May life continue blessing her so she may bless us with her light Just lovely!
I'm very annoyed by the editing. She is a BALLET dancer...being able to see her feet is important.
So true!
agree, I wish they'd just leave it at a wide shot
I LOVED her dancing, but the camera work hindered rather than showcased it, in my opinion.
Right?!
Dree same
my favorite dancer
She’s such a powerhouse in this art! Just a beautiful talent!!
This video is my first experience with ballet. This was AMAZING and I want to see a showcase live now! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She is an INCREDIBLE dancer. All the best to her ! ❤️
What I love about her is that she looks 'normal', she doesn't have the incomparable physical perfection of Margot Fonteyn or Sylvie Guillem, she's that sporty friend at work who's better than everyone else, but still the same as everyone else - until she moves, and then she becomes another being entirely. It's the arms, more than anything else.
There are no words to express how you have touched my soul through your dancing ♡
This leaves me speechless 😶. Purely amazing and deserves more attention. To 44 haters that gave a thumbs down, it is sad you can’t appreciate this fine art.
I could watch her dance all day. She's just everything in a ballerina: fierce, delicate, strong, vulnerable...not too many out there can do it better!
This is great and she is so fluent with her movements 💜
She is simply so inspiring! Watching her dance is a pure joy, as you can see her connection and passion within every movement! Breathtaking!
Love this! I saw a snippet on Instagram and had to see the whole thing!!
The way she expresses herself through dance is phenomenal as is her facility to speak English with such grace and precision, even more so when one knows that English is not her mother tongue...
Such an incredibly talented dancer, and also it is very moving when she dances
I’m reading her book and it has made me cry many times she is such a amazing person she has been through more than any of us
She's absolutely mesmerizing!
Gorgeous!
Beautiful🌸
Couldnt help thinking "Wow, this music is so extra😂😂🙈"
The totality of all her beauty is displayed in the gracefulness of her every movement.
this is BEAUTIFUL.
Her jumps are perfection, one of the best I’ve seen she is perfection!
She is awesome..gifted, well talented, and indeed beautiful.
Exquisite!! Her dance and her heart were on one accord with the music😯
Utterly beautiful, I cried and cried at the exquisite beauty of this little soul. Xx
This girl is amazing. Saw an article about her on Facebook and read it then decided to look her up on you tube. I had never heard of her but she is fantastic. Such a pity her birth parents never got the chance to know how telented she is but good on her adoptive parents.
WOW! She's mesmerizing... I can't look away... a wonderful dancer! Brava!
I would love to c her perform dying swan, I think she will make a strong point...not that she need it, but ppl believe brown skin don't exist in ballet.
So graceful and controlled and I'd no idea a ballerina could be so cut and defined my goodness! Beautiful!!
I love her dancing her grace her poise it just beautiful it's a gift from above.
I’m proud of her and I’m glad she is no longer hurt or sad in her life.......she is the beauty that makes herself
You brought me to tears. Her perfomance embodies the strenght and grace. You are an inspiration!
She seems to be emerging into a true artist, not just a mere technician.
so lovely, coming form a very pickey dancer. Wishing much success
I have been watching her for years, yes, she is fabulous
Exquisite perfection! How extraordinary! Thank you, so much, for sharing this!

The strength. The grace. The beauty. Michaela is simply stunning.
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DANCER!! OUTSTANDING!!
Michaela, you have been put on my Great Dancers Various Styles Worldwide Past & Present playlist. Beautiful!
Beautiful form and color. verry beautiful. Look what GOD has created!!!
Awesome
I could watch Michaela DePrince dance all day, and sometimes I actually have! She has the solid, gorgeous technique, and she has a shy sensitivity that is really meaningful to me. I wish she had been the recipient of all of the praise, press, and $$$$ that a much less worthy dancer received, but DePrince keeps working, keeps dancing, keeps achieving, and I’m so proud she represents my country in the Netherlands!
One of the most beautiful and talented ballerinas. Would like to see more of the wonderful gift God has given her.
Absolutely SPECTACULAR! I love her style
She is amazing!
I just discovered Michaela yesterday. What a gift to find such a an inspiring human.
I know there should be a platform to display her grace, talent, beauty and strength. She is graceful beauty personified. Everyone should recognize glory.
Goosebumps .....💕
she's so graceful and her movements are beautiful.
That was beautiful!!! I wish they played her applause…
Virtuoso Executions and the Finest Conditioning!
Stunningly Gorgeous!
KUDOS!
Lovely! BRAVO!!!
You are everything I ever wanted to be. It may be bittersweet but, I am so glad that you are with us... I weep when I watch you!
Alex Dellacosta is a russian bot
Jesus this is gorgeous. Goosebumps 😍😍😍
Incredibly beautiful ! I couldn't stop watching!!! From grass to grace.
I started watching this on mute and "Sad" by Saint Sinner came on and, you guys, it really worked
C G Gave it a whirl and liked it
Is there anything, anything in the world more beautiful to behold than black ballerinas?
White ballerinas
Your mom and dad must be so proud. Just thinking how far you’ve come love!! I started watching your story about where you and your sister had come from and the horrors you’ve seen to this beautiful woman. Both you and your sister were so courageous!! ❣️🇨🇦
