This was amazing watching it 14 years ago and it’s still amazing to this day! A little backstory: my mom’s best friend was the head of the ballet school this dancer came from. I’m pretty sure it was for a competition. Unfortunately my mom’s friend passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. It’s really nice coming back to this and seeing a little piece of her work (even though it wasn’t directly her dancing).
I love that she pretty much gave the finger to the classical ballet world. With great technique and grace she was still able to have fun, which is the point!!
Very clever. I especially enjoyed the moonwalk en pointe. Don't let the people who can't understand something different bother you. One of the most famous ballets of the early 20th century was Stavinsky's Rite of Spring, and look how people reacted to that!
ok.... this proves you can do ballet to ANY music.... there are no words to describe the joy this video brings me. I wanna learn ballet just so I can dance to Nightwish now.
I agree completely. It is also absolutely wonderful to see such a talented and lovely girl whose actions show that her personality and dreams are being nurtured so that she can become whaterver she wishes, even a numa ballerina! The confidence and life she brings to the dance is impressive, and she is enjoying herself so much. That girl has a thriving and creative spirit.
ummm... first i must say you're an incredible dancer. your Italian Fouttes were beyond the ability of many of the professionals i've seen. and your dance was hilarious. koodos on the moonwalk and the running man. ridiculous. lol i was just really confused. lol like i'm just not used to seeing that and it took me 4 times watching your video to wrap my mind around it. lol congrats. great job. :)
I absolutely LOVE the sheer unorthodoxness of this routine! And your attitude! You looked like you had a thrill doing this. :) Thumbs up and favorite. :D
Honestly - I've watched this 5 times already today...and sent it to my friends. Let people say what they will, but this made me and my friends smile and it shows the diversity of her talent - as well as her "shine" which she has oodles of! You go girl!
It was really good, I've watched it a couple of times and still love it. I just started in the intermediate class and hopefully will go on pointes next year so seeing another dancer dancing something so different than the 'usual' works realy inspiring. wonderful no matter what others say
Ok, I have been down in the dumps so I have probably watched this 10 times. You cannot see this and not smile! You are so talented and strong! NEVER stop dancing!
i know the person who's dancing in this video and she's easily one of the best ballet dancers i've seen, and she's only 19. she has ridic turnout and is all-around fantastic. ALSO, this dance was done at the finale show of a dance camp she went to several years ago, so it's supposed to be a funny, spoof piece. trust me, if you see this girl do classical ballet, you will all eat your words.
Omg that was fantastic!! Doing that on point? That was incredible! Never have done ballet b4 but i've tried point shoes on to see how they feel..and i don't see how u dancers do it. TALENT!! Lots of it! Great performance! :)
I agree with Brooks00000. Love the creativity. Love the combination of styles. Excellent stage presence. It's just brilliant! Whoever this young lady is, I wish her ALL the best (and hope she keeps dancing!).
i was first mesmorized by pointe by my cross cousin. when i learned wat en pointe is, i immediately wanted to go to ballet. now my dream is to be in pointe. ur dance was awesome and soo adorable!!!
Great fun, clearly a wonderful dancer, nice to see somebody playing about and having fun with ballet, beautiful and amazing as it is, it's usually seen as very serious. Great job! :)
oooohhhhmyyygodddd. when i clicked on this i had NO idea what was in store. holy crap. this was amazing. who would have thought this song could work for pointe?! simply brilliant! i loved it so much.
wonderful job! really funny! its a nice relief from all of the classical en pointe dances we all do! ur so lucky u were givin the opportunity to do that dance!
That was Awseum! Good tenique and creative and different. I love how you do the pinwheels, funny walks, and all sorts of stuff on pointe. If you audtioned for the 'think you could dance' show you would do so well.
THIS IS SO CREATIVE AND FUN! i love it! i hope you do realize that through the fun, this dancer is VERY talented, this requires so much precision and balance and technique. i LOVE IT!
YOU are truely amazing. I have been out of my shoes for awhile now and you've totally inspired me to jump back in them and moonwalk my way across a stage! Kudos to you doll! You rock!
Those of you trashing this are obviously stuck in your old school strictly ballet way of thinking. Which is fine, that's just your style. I'm a trained ballet dancer, I danced for 18 years, 6 of those on pointe and have toured the US and Canada with my dance troupe. This is an excellent take what it means to be a technical dancer. This girl clearly knows what she is doing. Her feet are fantastic and all her movements are clear, sharp, finished, and she is always safe on her toes. Wonderful Job!
AH!! this is brilliant!!! haha so so adorable and creative!! she's very talented as well, i actually enjoy watching her (most dancers i have a hard time taking haha). my compliments to the choreographer.
this was, in my best opinion the best Numa Numa, point ballet, freestyle, break dance, michale jackson performance ive EVER SEEN!:D im surprised she didnt break her feet doing this^^;
This makes ballet more interesting. I ballet,tap, and jazz for two years. I got bored and switched to gymnastics. Now I'm 16 and have a new found interest in ballet:) I might do it again. I want to dance on pointe.
My favorite part was when you walked across the stage on pointe in the crouched position. I've kind of been wanting to something similar to that: chaînés on pointe in grand plie. Great job!
This ois one of my favorite pieces because shes just having fun, and thats what doing something you love ids all about FUN! Im going en pointe this summer and I cant wait to create a piece like this when I get more advanced
brave brave brave!! and amazing!! i love the mix of everything! dance should NEVER have to be limited to categories and you totaly embraced that and BLEW peoples minds!! koodos for you girliy!!
years ago i quit ballet because i just couldn't "express myself" through that style - this video proved me wrong :) thankyou for your creativity - you have inspired me to enroll in a local ballet studio again
Wow, that was awesome. Talk about original choreography. It's nice to see a number for once that doesn't make the ballerina look like she's in pain from concentrating so hard.
her italian fouettes were amazing, her little jumps were so cute and her moonwalk..... phenomenal!
This was amazing watching it 14 years ago and it’s still amazing to this day!

What ever happened to the dancer and what city and state was this school?
I remember when this was uploaded I was 15 @ northwest school of the arts I'm 32 now and it brought back MEMORIES ❤❤❤❤❤
I love that she pretty much gave the finger to the classical ballet world. With great technique and grace she was still able to have fun, which is the point!!

I love this, I really hope this was at a competition and that the judges were shocked, yet enjoying it!😂
ok.... this proves you can do ballet to ANY music.... there are no words to describe the joy this video brings me. I wanna learn ballet just so I can dance to Nightwish now.
That is insanely hard. And she is SMILING and having a Great Time. How Wonderful.
As a ballet dancer, I’d actually say 2:26 was the hardest part 😆 Italian fuetes r my worst nightmare 😭
OMG, who ever coreographed this is a GENIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree completely. It is also absolutely wonderful to see such a talented and lovely girl whose actions show that her personality and dreams are being nurtured so that she can become whaterver she wishes, even a numa ballerina!

It doesn't have to be all about a showcase of your incredible skills. Sometimes talent can be used to create something fun and entertaining.
This girl is talented!!! This is the best Numa yet! Bring it, girl!
My stars! She's ADORABLE! Love the moon walk en point!
Great job! Every time I watch this video, it makes me SO happy! She has such great energy and it gives me great joy to watch her dance!
Love, love, love this performance...she is so entertaining and a powerful dancer.
I was so inspired by this when I was in high school! I wanted to do something just like this for my senior solo
ummm... first i must say you're an incredible dancer. your Italian Fouttes were beyond the ability of many of the professionals i've seen. and your dance was hilarious. koodos on the moonwalk and the running man. ridiculous. lol i was just really confused. lol like i'm just not used to seeing that and it took me 4 times watching your video to wrap my mind around it. lol congrats. great job. :)
Heard this song in a reel today and was instantly reminded of this video that I was obsessed with 16ish years ago! Glad this video is still around! 😄
The best part is that she had perf technique so no one could say anything about it.
I absolutely LOVE the sheer unorthodoxness of this routine! And your attitude! You looked like you had a thrill doing this. :) Thumbs up and favorite. :D

wonderful no matter what others say
I can not tell you how much I loved this. I giggled all throughout. And moonwalk en Pointe? Fabulous!
absolutely fabulous. it takes talent to dance en pointe, but to dance like THAT en pointe is just amazing -thumbs up- love the moves
Ok, I have been down in the dumps so I have probably watched this 10 times. You cannot see this and not smile! You are so talented and strong! NEVER stop dancing!

Really funny! Very well done!
I love it all! Your outfit, your black pointes! Your green tutu! You have a great stage presence! Very nice!
This is absolutely wonderful! It shows pure talent and a sense of laughter. I love this! Five stars, no doubt! :D
Omg that was fantastic!! Doing that on point? That was incredible! Never have done ballet b4 but i've tried point shoes on to see how they feel..and i don't see how u dancers do it. TALENT!! Lots of it! Great performance! :)
haha! Brilliant! I love how cheeky it is, and how there's all the silliness mixed in with skill. Really fun dance.
That was awsome! to be able to do that in pointe shoes, and with all those hip-hop, gymnastics, and break dancing moves. OMG!
OMG she is soooo cute! I love her fire and the variety in her dance. Beautiful.
She was having a lot of fun doing this routine and i think thats all that matters!!! She did an awesome job!!! LOVE IT
I'm in my 6th year of pointe and I've never seen anything like this. I love it. It's one of my favorite songs. Great Job!!
I have NEVER seen a moonwalk en point, you have impressed me!
I agree with Brooks00000. Love the creativity. Love the combination of styles. Excellent stage presence. It's just brilliant! Whoever this young lady is, I wish her ALL the best (and hope she keeps dancing!).
OMG THIS IS A DANCERS DREAM! you can almost never see pointe dances that are super fun to watch AND perform :)
Absolutely fantastic!!! So entertaining and such a strong dancer...Love it.
i was first mesmorized by pointe by my cross cousin. when i learned wat en pointe is, i immediately wanted to go to ballet. now my dream is to be in pointe. ur dance was awesome and soo adorable!!!
Great fun, clearly a wonderful dancer, nice to see somebody playing about and having fun with ballet, beautiful and amazing as it is, it's usually seen as very serious. Great job! :)
It is wonderful because it makes ballet more accessible to a younger audience. Keep up the GREAT Work!
oooohhhhmyyygodddd.
when i clicked on this i had NO idea what was in store.
holy crap. this was amazing.
who would have thought this song could work for pointe?!
simply brilliant! i loved it so much.
wonderful job! really funny! its a nice relief from all of the classical en pointe dances we all do! ur so lucky u were givin the opportunity to do that dance!
seeing things like this reminds me of how awesome the freedom and inspiration college theatre was. Brilliant.
I love this soooooo muchhhh.
You are such a great dancer!!!
Your amazing technique allows you to get away with such humorous choreography.
This is awesome! Very good control and very creative. I think the fact that she is having a lot of fun is very infectious and makes this stand out.
This is the most incredible display of talent and execution I have ever seen! It's friggin' INSANE! Keep being you. It's ALL WIN!!
The song is not weird! I think it's super cool :) I love ballet, and I also love it when people really just have fun with it like this girl did!
loved your italian fouettes!
i think regular would've gone great too.. but you are so awesome thanks for putting an entertaining side to pointe!
That brought a smile to my face. What a great way to combine various dance styles.
one of the first ballet videos where i didn't want to look away for even a second...awesome.
Excellent fresh interpretation. Some clever moves... very fun and upbeat for both the dancer and the audience. Woot!
That was Awseum! Good tenique and creative and different. I love how you do the pinwheels, funny walks, and all sorts of stuff on pointe.
If you audtioned for the 'think you could dance' show you would do so well.
Thank you for having an amazing sense of humor and great talent!
This looks like you had so much fun!! I bet this was the BEST thing to perform. xxx
THIS IS SO CREATIVE AND FUN!

LOVE the moonwalk on pointe. Fantastic!!!!
My favorite part was when you walked across the stage on pointe in the crouched position. I've kind of been wanting to something similar to that: chaînés on pointe in grand plie.
Great job!

That was such a pleasure to watch, it really made my day!

Very creative- this looks like so much fun to perform!
Wow, that was awesome. Talk about original choreography.
