My name is Dayna and I love Taylor swift
I disagree with #1. While it’s true that Chloe’s ballet technique has regressed since the show started, and that she’s obviously no longer up to par with girls her age who dance at ballet studios, it’s completely absurd to call her ballet technique “fake.” Did you know that a month before Dance Moms started, Chloe placed in the top 12 of her division at YAGP with a variation from La Fille Mal Gardée? She even beat out a ton of Rock School girls who were 2 and 3 years older than her. If her ballet technique was “fake,” then she wouldn’t have done so well dancing a classical ballet variation at the most prestigious ballet competition in the world.
*Although I do think the other points here are spot on.
Congrats @michaeladeprince, we are so excited for you!! Repost: “I am thrilled to announce that I have been chosen to dance the principal role of Clara/Sugar Plum Fairy on December 28 and December 31 in the Dutch National Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. This calls to mind how much I longed to dance the role of Marie (the equivalent of the child, Clara, in the Balanchine Nutcracker) when I was a child, but it was believed by the artistic director in that U.S. company that the world wasn’t ready for a black Marie. Thank you Ted Brandsen, the artistic director of the Dutch National Ballet, and the ballet mistresses here, for believing that the world is ready for a black Clara. I am deeply honored that you have chosen me for this role. The dream and delight of The Nutcracker should be for children and adults of all colors and all lands. #nutcracker @nationaleoperaballet @oscarstarballet #michaeladeprince”

She did really well :) There was obviously some flaws :) But overall she did good! She really surprised me in that hip-hop number :) And her acro got better! I always love her lyrical routines :) She’s got a gift. I do hope that Abby and her staff realise it and train her well!
I think the main issue with Sarah is confidence in terms of choreography. She often tends to look at others even when she knows what’s coming next. She needs to work on her timing and make sure she’s 100% confident with the choreography! It was something I often struggled with so I know it’s hard!

HAHAHHHHA
The ballerina in question, 15-year-old Lizzy Howell, has inspired people to dance after the mesmerizing clip of her fouetté took the internet by storm over the weekend. While Howell is grateful that she’s become a source of inspiration for so many, she has conflicting feelings about being called a “plus-sized dancer.” “I do not like when people say, ‘Oh my gosh I can’t believe she’s better than me!’ she told Daily Mail. “That implies that plus-sized people can’t dance.”
