Barbara that’s what amazes me. The fact that she does slow down. When you’re in those positions you want to get out of them quickly but she just holds them. So difficult!
Her technique and the way she presents herself on stage awes and amazes me but what amazes me even more is that even though the orchestra started the music too fast and she couldn't get into her first position in time and started late, she improvised and she made it look good without any hint of nervousness. Miko is probably one of best ballerinas of this generation
I remember finding this a couple years ago and just now thought about it and spent like 2 hours going through so many videos trying to find it it was so memorable. I absolutely love this performance.
to top off her ridiculous amazingness.... the orchestra started way too early and she did a really good job covering that up and slightly altering the beggining of the piece
She is one of those rare and special dancers!. Such a technique... combined with attack and a grace and breadth of feeling that even current prima ballerinas sadly lack!!!Love her!!
It 100% lacked enjoyment and passion. It was all technique, which is only about 25% of what dancing is, as an art form. What are you even saying, attack? is this a new ballet buzz word?? because it needs to be removed from the repertoire. Ballet is expression, NOT TECHNIQUE. Jesus, it's why i can't go see it anymore.
alphafemale99 Obviously you are deaf and blind then!! But no matter...maybe you will prefer to stay home and watch the soaps on TV!! Much like many brain dead Brits! Ballet is something obviously behond you! Attack....no use explaining to the ignorant LOL!!Alphafemale is definately the opposite of your true self hilarious! Stay back to your level!!
Annapacha Clarke Obviously you are opposed to people who do not share your opinions. Congratulations! I hope your narrow-minded life is a total blast! :D ps. i had no idea that Brits were perceived as brain dead in other parts of the world. That is just an OUTRAGEOUSLY idiotic thing to say. To set you straight, no...i'm American (so go to town, your ignoramus).
Probably much like the way they would exact information from 'spies" in the medieval days-a toture machine! lol I'd like to see that myself. She's lovely
What is amazing for me about this girl is that despite all the technical and body abilities she has, everything looks natural and not a show off kinda thing. Also kudos on dealing like a pro with the music at the begining - not a lot of 16 years olds would be able to cope with that like nothing happened.
Cant stop watching this, looked for other ballerinas performing this and Miko is the best of them all. Not a hint of nerves, full control of her movements..one can trully appreciate the choreography of this dance since nothing else stands in the way.
0:58 her strength is insane, she looks like she's just placing her leg behind her head, not like she needs momentum to swing it that high Also I love the energy in her facial expressions, she brings the piece so much life!
THAT ladies and gentlemen is ESMERALDA personified right there. All the passion, fire, sensuality, and gypsylike characteristics in ONE performance.. Thank you Miko, for showing us how that SHOULD be danced. Bravo!!!
Miko, I am amazed by your strength. First to dedicate yourself so much to this art, and then to realize it was not what you wanted and give it up and fight for a new dream. You are a role model.
@@pamclarke6785 An injury gave her time to reflect that ballet just wasn't making her happy anymore. She is now studying biology at university with the aim of going into the medical field. Good on her for having the courage to walk away and start again.
I'm not a ballet expert by any means, but by comparison to other dancers I've seen...her technique looks exquisite, and a lot of charisma on top of that.
The thing I notice most, is that her timing is always near perfect (precise and exacting). For someone who lacks serious muscle tone or physique, her control is really impressive.
Striving for perfection has landed you pretty well near it, Miko! I hope your talent, passion, and work ethic continue to serve you as well as they obviously have so far!
After watching Miko dance, you just can't watch anyone else because it doesn't compare!!!! I have searched for many different people dance the variations that she has, and even some principle dancers don't have the same grace, fluidity and stage presence! Keep going Miko! I hope to see you live in the future :)
You, dear child, are amazing! I've been watching a lot of videos of you here on TH-cam and I just want to congratulate you on how far you've come when you're still SO young. You are truly an inspiration and a force to be reckoned with. Keep on dancing! You're doing great!
I see passion and love of dance in her. Without passion and love for dancing one cannot possibly get perfect technique. She spent hours upon hours of her time to perfect technique. Its not fun, its tedious, its hard, its painful, and she had to do it everyday. If she had no passion she would've not progressed and probably quit already. Kudos to her, she is a lovely dancer.
after watching this about for the 50th time for inspiration, i have just noticed her teeny mistake that was literally unnoticeable if you dont know the variation or only watch once. she covered sooooo well!!!
She is a role model in the sense that she exudes excellence in her dancing, form , beauty, style, and technique . I was considered a role model too . I too left a year after entering my company . Sometimes really excellent dancers leave their companies NOT because they are no longer role models ... because If you are a dancer .... yourself ...we both that the dance world is full of insanity . A role model knows went to get out ......that is the true definition of a role model ....KNOW WHEN TO GET OUT!
wishing Miko will be back in the ballet world dancing on on stage as Giselle, Gamzatti, Swanilda, Esmeralda, Odette, Odile, etc. at Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Russia
@@bubbybets9336 But I wanted to be named Ludmila or Anastasia or Ykatarina and dance girl roles in tutus with my hair in a bun wearing lots of makeup and have boys lift me up and have people bring me huge bouquets of roses and other flowers after the curtain call.
Her lines are just amazing! This dance is just beautiful to look at. I could be a little critical about her acting the role of Esmeralda, but she appeals too much to my aesthetic.
Did anyone else notice that they started the music too early. She handled very well, you can tell because she hesitates for a moment, just pay close attention
Was listening to songs from the hunchback of notre dame, fell down the rabbit hole, and ended up here haha. No regrets. Zero understanding of ballet but wow that was so impressive 😲 An amazing performance and interpretation~
Excellent dancer! She has an incredible mastery of each step, beautiful technique and with such impeccable control of execution, it also has a lot of grace when dancing!
One of my favorite variations and she danced it beautifully. And she is 16! I'm 16 and I can't do half what she's doing. I need more training tbh. She has outstanding technique, I can't even describe how amazing she is. Miko is one of my inspirations.

Her ability to "slow down" the descent of her leg after such high extensions takes tremendous strength. Beautiful port de bras. Impressive for 16.
Barbara that’s what amazes me. The fact that she does slow down. When you’re in those positions you want to get out of them quickly but she just holds them. So difficult!
Barbara her dynamic is so amazing and those extensions go for miles
Colette I do it and I’m eleven
Baby Bunny congrats!!!
because those extensions are not "battement", but "développé"
Her technique and the way she presents herself on stage awes and amazes me but what amazes me even more is that even though the orchestra started the music too fast and she couldn't get into her first position in time and started late, she improvised and she made it look good without any hint of nervousness.

+kkayspaznee Yes the music is sooo slowly I also danced this part but my music was faster...
+kkayspaznee uh, the music isn't live.
+Daph Duck "*Final Round music played by live orchestra*" in the description.
+Daph Duck this is a very, very, very prestigious competition.

This is my most favorite Esmerelda variation ever.

Agree.
Kara Hammond ㅇㅈ
You should see Madison Penney
For me, only Natalia Osipova 🌹🏆
did anyone else notice her music was played a few counts early? still flawless though :*
Yes i did, But she still managed to make it look flawless!
yeah, you can see the moment she decided to cut out the echapee
XamTj I can't quite tell, but I'm not a dancer. How can something like this happen. How is the music not correct
WorkingOnMeTime live orchestra. most likely thought she was ready
no, she's dancing replace conductor.
to top off her ridiculous amazingness.... the orchestra started way too early and she did a really good job covering that up and slightly altering the beggining of the piece
Yes
wait i thought that was the choreo
I dont think there was a live orchestra right? You can hear the tambourine a lot when she’s not doing anything with it. Such a good performance tho
@@jasminvanemmerloot it literally says in the caption the final round is played by a live orchestra

wow...just WOW..
i was crying well watching this
They started the music waaaayyyyyy toooooooo early
As a dancer who idolizes Miko Forgarty, I'd like to know her stretching routine.
I would too...
Watch the documentary
Probably much like the way they would exact information from 'spies" in the medieval days-a toture machine! lol I'd like to see that myself. She's lovely
@@09jjacqueli odd flex but ok
Chocolate Puppy “extreme” . Her mother said this in First Position. Lol

Bullshit... no emotions no drive
Katia Almayeva is my favourite
This divinely gifted dancer is only 16 which makes her perfection only more stunning. Those who would criticize are fools....
Yes, indeedy!
Agreed!! Jealous people are useless.
i still come back to this and watch it from time to time... my favorite performance of esmeralda ever
0:58 her strength is insane, she looks like she's just placing her leg behind her head, not like she needs momentum to swing it that high
Also I love the energy in her facial expressions, she brings the piece so much life!
THAT ladies and gentlemen is ESMERALDA personified right there.
All the passion, fire, sensuality, and gypsylike characteristics in ONE performance.. Thank you Miko, for showing us how that SHOULD be danced. Bravo!!!
The crazy amount of control needed to execute this is enormous. Well done
ミコさんのエスメラルダ好きすぎて何回も見ちゃう…😭💓
one of my favorite esmeralda performances of all time...
those back attitudes are just so perfect
This is one of the best performances of this routine I’ve ever seen. This young lady is flawless.
Routine?
I love her poise, her grace and how she puts her heart and soul into her dance. This is my favorite version of Esmeralda.
バレエで嫌なことあってもこの方みたいに踊りたいって思って元気もらってます！！ありがとうございます
Who needs sleep when I can watch Miko dance Esmeralda for the millionth time in a row??

Не перестаю смотреть это выступление, БРАВО И ЕЩЁ РАЗ БРАВО. ОЧЕНЬ ХОЧЕТЬСЯ ПОЖЕЛАТЬ БОЛЬШИХ УСПЕХОВ В ЖИЗНИ 🥀🥀🥀🥀💞💞
開始の音たぶん間違ってるんだろうけど、エシャッペを瞬時に抜いて音を合わせるとか凄すぎる！
Бесподобно!!!! Восхищаюсь талантом!!! Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие!!!👍
Да не дурно

@@chooseyourpoison5105 thanks for the information.
Miko is magic... dreamlike and beautiful.. love how she's got the technique and is in total control of it
There are some movements in this variation I would've thought physically impossible if I just hadn't seen it! This is just amazing!!!!!!!! Beautiful!
for me this is her best performance, i always watch it before ballet class and exams. You are my motivation and inspiration, amazing!
That was just lovely! She makes it look so easy! It's been amazing watching her evolve. She's grown so much and come a long way!
0:20 whoaaa her music started way early!!! BUT SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB OF COVERING IT UP AND CATCHING UP! The mark of a professional dancer 😌
That was absolutely amazing. I've seen so many videos of her dancing but none have been quite like this. Bravo.
its been 6 years and I am still happy to watch this, flawless as always Miko Fogarty!😍
I'm not a ballet expert by any means, but by comparison to other dancers I've seen...her technique looks exquisite, and a lot of charisma on top of that.
素晴らしいです。何度も見ちゃいます。
綺麗✨
バレエはわからないけどこの動画何回も見ちゃう♥
This is stunning! Her technique is so delicate yet strong - well done!
Mikoさんの踊り大好きです😆
私もこんな風になれるように頑張ります❗
So FANTASTIC! She is so talented! This was one of the best Esmeralda-solos I have ever seen! I can watch this over and over again!
The best of the best ! Fantastic! How magnificent !!! Deserved gold medal !!!
Beautiful performance!
Прелесть какая!!! Легкая, пластичная, артистичная... Браво!!!
Искусство - это суть и смысл человеческой цивилизации. Восхищаюсь людьми, посвятившими себя искусству. Молодость - это прекрасно!
Still one of the best versions I have ever seen. Enchanting and precise.
This will be the inspiration for my next figure skating program ... thank you, Miko!
The thing I notice most, is that her timing is always near perfect (precise and exacting). For someone who lacks serious muscle tone or physique, her control is really impressive.
SkylineToTheSeaAndMe Ikr.... I don't even know how the Bolshoi ballerinas function. They are way too skinny.
This will be my favorite Esmeralda variation forever!!!
This is my favorite Esmeralda variation!! ❤️😭
Striving for perfection has landed you pretty well near it, Miko! I hope your talent, passion, and work ethic continue to serve you as well as they obviously have so far!
Impressive how she pulled off the beginning. But we also have to remember the orchestra players are people too and make mistakes.
It was likely the conductor, not the actual orchestra, that jumped the gun. But she covered up for it fine.
@@sitcomchristian6886 Yeah that's kind of what I meant by orchestra lmao. I wish people would understand that the musicians just follow the conductor.
My absolute favorite solo. Flawless, beautiful, exquisite, pretty much every word in the dictionary that means good.
Pretty amazing, very well done!
Боже какая красота,грация,а движения👏👏👏👍
After watching Miko dance, you just can't watch anyone else because it doesn't compare!!!! I have searched for many different people dance the variations that she has, and even some principle dancers don't have the same grace, fluidity and stage presence! Keep going Miko! I hope to see you live in the future :)

after watching this about for the 50th time for inspiration, i have just noticed her teeny mistake that was literally unnoticeable if you dont know the variation or only watch once. she covered sooooo well!!!
I watched the video at 0,25 speed, but I‘m not sure 🤔
I literally could watch this dancer all day long, she is a ballet role model.
How is someone whose whole career was centered around competitions and who left ballet after a year in corps is a ballet role model?

Hello, I am a 9 year old ballerina, And you really are an inspiration to me. So beautiful!
I have wanted to be a prima ballerina ever since I was a little boy!
Go for it, baby!
I started ballet at age of 60, of course I will never be a prima ballerino, but you can start ballet dancing whenever you want.
boys aren’t ballerinas, they are just ballet dancers 🙂
Freya Pritchard you get the idea chill
@@bubbybets9336 But I wanted to be named Ludmila or Anastasia or Ykatarina and dance girl roles in tutus with my hair in a bun wearing lots of makeup and have boys lift me up and have people bring me huge bouquets of roses and other flowers after the curtain call.

She keeps on getting better and better! Love it!

I remember when she was 12...THAT'S AMAZING!
BELLLISSSSSIMA, INCREDIBLE PERFECTION.
93 people don't know what they are doing. She is so talented and beautiful!! Every movement is perfect!!
I know right
Her passion is just….. perfect
Excellent dancer! She has an incredible mastery of each step, beautiful technique and with such impeccable control of execution, it also has a lot of grace when dancing!
She had. Except now she is studying medicine...
In addition to her obvious talent, she had the mental acumen and poise to correct the music/choreo problem in the beggining.
Very very good.
I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF REWATCHING THIS!!! ♥
I cant stop watching this! 😂 She’s sooooooo good!
I have watched this so many times...very beautiful...
This is so amazing. Love the costume.
É a melhor interpretação de Esmeralda que eu já vi ❤
