Hi! Yes, these specific dances were choreographed for the ballet competitions so they did have a balletic feel to them because that's what she needed for that kind of performance. She does other styles of contemporary (like the pieces she does from Westside Dance Project) that are probably more "contemporary/edgy" in style, for other types of performances. :)

[@sophiadeng8889]

Amazing! Her technique is amazing for a 13 yr old. But I feel like her pointe shoes aren't broken in coz it doesn't show her beautiful arch properly...

[@VivMonta]

She's amazing in that age (13) while me I am just starting at that age :)))

[@erinhill780]

I wish I could dance this we

[@christinaricucci1]

Paquita

[@micahturrok3847]

Which variation from Paquita is this? I love it! Her Paquita and Odalisque variations are so good!

[@FMFdance]

AMAZING!! what type of pointe shoes do you wear???(:

[@carolineblueskies]

I didn't know she did ballet competitions as well! she is so good! does she plan on pursuing ballet?

[@erinhill780]

Well

[@lilyophelia1928]

What song is used in her first contemporary solo?

[@mvo09]

What's the name of the dark hallway solo's music?

[@taryndancer29]

did she have any tap solos?

[@Tweedilydum93]

amazing dancer! but did anyone else feel like the contemporary was almost too much like ballet? like if you just changed the music to classical it would fit perfectly? not saying the dance wasnt beautiful but i was just curious if i am the only one who think this way
