Her playful suspension of the tambourine kicks, the crisp attention to the artistic details, and her slowing down the transition between movements like a thick fondue: 🙌 She has an innate musicality that makes those tiny artistic flourishes feel effortless. It’s soooo good. And this was her first try? 😱😍
@@PaigeBartholomew I was referring more to the fact that it’s the first time we’ve seen her do it on this channel…aka new to me. While she’s clearly had time to learn the variation-any experienced dancer can see that-I believe I’m to be forgiven for not knowing a complete stranger’s personal history with a specific variation. 😆 Not every casual watcher of this channel is an expert on MBA canon nor knows every detail of the rotating cast of characters. 🙃
@@amandamarklandyoga i dont think the person u replied to was "condemning" (not sure of what other word to use, i dont want to sound harsh) u for not knowing that, but stating that it isnt her first try
“Asking Maya to TRY?” The girl just NAILED it! Perfect! EDIT: I prefer to see beauty and art instead of being hyper critic. If she missed a beat or made some errors, fine - she probably knows it and doesn’t need it to be pointed negatively in a comment.
She did get a little bit lost for a fraction of a second here and there but still did it 500000% better than 99% of people. I’m in love with her version and want to see her do it again and again.
No one is perfect and in fact lots of dancers do this variation like maya where they don’t hit it exactly on beat but they make sure their movements are crisp and visibly sharp or they add some extra pirouettes. Yet they are still on time and actually the way they do it makes the variation more unique and interesting ❤❤
It's night and day compared to the others who have done Esmeralda. No wonder Maya is with one of the best ballet companies in the world. She's a great role model to the others in the academy.
I love the finer details of this performance especially in the middle section that often gets rushed through and the timing of the tambourine hits at the end was just 👌I like how some use pirouettes in this section
If that's Maya 'having a go' then I can only imagine what even a little bit of practice would look like!! She deserves her professional career and the way she rocketed up the ranks at her ballet company (is it the Swedish Royal Ballet?) She's a natural talent 😍❤❤❤
Maya makes it look as easy as breathing. Her grace has just a hint if fiestiess about it that makes it feel almost playful. She is truly an amazing dancer.❤
I love the soul and character when she dances. She doesnt just have technical skill but with a hollow soulless performance like some do, instead she has it all. Exceptional.
Maya is by far my favorite ballerina from your videos. Nobody does it like her, she’s on a whole other level. Her perfect technique + the unique character she brings to every variation are UNMATCHED
The difference between her dance and Melanie’s dance is that Maya moves and feels the music because of which her technique is flawless. She doesn’t come across as someone who is learning the steps and she has a natural grace to her movement.
Maya’s natural talent along with her discipline for nurturing that talent, not to mention that little bit of sass that you can see just below the surface make her such a joy to watch! I appreciate the time you take with these “unofficial” videos just as much as I do your “official” photoshoots, Eva; you have an incredible eye for creating a finished photo that most of us couldn’t even imagine.
She's added some really nice flourishes and l love her attitude and beautiful lines. Watching Maya dance has rekindled my interest in and enjoyment of ballet!
That was beautiful. I first started following all these ballerinas after seeing the video of Melanie doing Esmeralda. It's cool to see the different interpretations.
I really love how well she could hold her leg up and bring it down so slowly! And those kicks in circles! I don’t know what they’re called but wow! She IS amazing!
More I watch it more I love it. She reminds me how Janine Jensen's playing violin. She pull the time to near end with the balance but she so fast to next movement. And she doesn't rush. Expressive and stunning, Maya ❤
Josephine really put her finger on it when she said that Maya’s little pauses takes her performances from ”just” technically excellent to true artistry
U know eva, i always wanted to see maya baby hairs do the esmerelda variation and know i FINALLY saw it. She absolutely nailed it also can u make more maya viral tiktoks i LOVE watching those 👏👏🎉🎉😊😊❤❤
Slightly different interpretation from Melanie, Maya puts slightly more emphasis on the timing, she manages to extend the movement until the last part of the note. Both productions equally enjoyable.❤
Obscenely stendhalizing. Mayochka is a killer machine (in the best sense possible) with a Lopátkina allure. Not even in my best dreams. Without any kind of doubt, the ballerina of her generation. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I assume it's slowed down a teensy bit since she's not in practice with this one (not like anyone can tell lmao she's incredible), but that has to be HARDER with the balance at the beginning?? Like hello??? Insaneeee 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It wasn’t her first try. She knows the combination well.
But that makes it no less INCREDIBLE for all the reasons you listed!

She's a gorgeous dancer, but in this variation she still needs more fire.

The musicality in the first part was lacking tbh. She did not hit the tambourine at the rhythm
Well… not quite nailed.

Holy crap these replies… why are y’all allergic to letting someone else compliment someone
Wow😮😮😮😮😮 omg did she just take it to a whole new level. Omg the control and cheeky pauses.
Yes she did!! 🎉❤

We've been starved of Maya. It's a real pleasure to see her back. Such an immense talent. Thank you for posting and making my day.❤🎉❤🎉
1:45 I've never seen anyone do that final little tambourine tap in this variation! The perfect cherry on top
Wow! What a Lovely dancer. Makes it look effortless. Kudos to her teachers too! AWESOME 🤩
Maya, absolutely beautiful! Principal ballerina potential!
Her timing is so good on that section near the end!
THIS is the one I want to see on stage, in costume before an audience … it is the best Esmeralda EVER!❤❤❤❤❤
Maya is not only beautiful. Her performance as Esmeralda is beautifully done 💛💛
She is lovely and her teacher is very proud of her!🤗💕
Was hesitant to watch this as I have not enjoyed Esmeralda in the past… but wow! It’s like a different dance! Very enjoyable to watch!! ❤❤❤
I love the soul and character when she dances. She doesnt just have technical skill but with a hollow soulless performance like some do, instead she has it all. Exceptional.

Maya!!! Amazing! I love everything about your performance! I loved your timing at the end with the music and tambourine! 👏🏼
Maya is such a graceful dancer!
Maya's strength and control is insane!!! 🤩
I never feel tired of this variation and hers might be my new favourite
Wow. 😮 Is this the BOSS level of the variation? Maya is profoundly talented and arguably the best I have personally seen. 🔥🔥🔥
I cannot believe how perfect she is ❤
That was so joyful 💖and Slawomir being so sweet and proud at the end... 🥹
I would love to watch maya dance at a show!!!
Omg, yes. I asked my husband how he felt about a trip to Sweden. 😅
I would pay good money to witness her performance live 🙌 🎉
Maya, thank you for showing me your passion...
You are gonna be great!!!!

Every movement is so detailed! I can't help but keep watching when Maya gracefully raise her left arm. GRACEFUL!
Wooo!!! Yes Maya!!! She’s so amazing!!!!

Baby Hairs ate and left absolutely no crumbs with this variation
Adoro a Maya! Acho ela muito competente e humilde. Humildade é tudo de bom! 💖👏
"You are amazing" Yess, we are agree!
the moment when Slawek claps before it ends and Slawomir asks him to stop 😂
I would do that too ❤
She makes it look so effortless I think I can do it too

More I watch it more I love it. She reminds me how Janine Jensen's playing violin. She pull the time to near end with the balance but she so fast to next movement. And she doesn't rush. Expressive and stunning, Maya ❤
One of the very best I have seen so far
