This is one of my favorite performances of Miko! Her movements are sharp and precise, and she has wonderful stage presence! I feel like La Esmeralda and Odilisque are two of her strongest variations, because both require flexibility, strength, strong expression, good turn out, good technique, wonderful turns, and much more and she puts it all in one dance. Absolutely amazing!!
This is true art! Her extensions are unbelievable, her lines are flawless, and her technique is amazing. She reminds me of Natalia Osipova, just an incredible dancer. Expecting great things from this one!
Being a dancer for seven years and 11 years old, I've seen so many variations like this, but she has the star quality. She has the gorgeous technique thats flawless and looks so easy. But then she has natural expression and a smile. A smile that tells everyone that this is what she wants to do for the rest of her life
its so cool being able to watch people on youtube progress over the years! i remember watching Hannah Bettes "Matilda" when she was just 11 and now watching her Prix de Lausanne Swanilda variation at 15 is just the coolest thing!
Miko! You are so gorgeous, your artistic and technical talents are outstanding. Such a pleasure to be able to watch your growth over the past few years, I can't wait to watch your career unfold!!
You've grown so much! You've always had the control and now your artistry is showing that much more. This was fantastic. Perfect really. I can't imagine that you only got bronze! It's like you've been dancing at the Vaganova Academy IN RUSSIA all your life. You'd fit right in with the Mariinsky Theatre.
This is the most graceful, alluring version of Esmeralda I've ever seen. I love how slow and controlled it is, how elegant, how indulgent. And the costume is beautiful too.
exceptional. All that hard work from her and her family and teachers... really inspiring. You don't have to be 'born' with it all to make it! Tenacity!
She's not anymore. Seems like she doesn't dance with a company. I guess she could only go so far. Unfortunately she doesn't have the best feet for ballet.
ingrify when ppl say you need good feet that means its for aesthetic purposes, but having strong ankles is more important. The problem I think she was so used to being a successful competition dancer that once she entered a company she got discouraged and perhaps didn't progress? Pretty upsetting to see
Her dancing was BRILLIANT, but I can't wait to she her when she grows up and knows how to express her acting through dancing better. That will be extraordinary, I'm certain.(:
You know, when I was her age, I was just getting my first pair of pointe shoes. I was so bad at first, and could hardly balance without holding on to the barre. It's kind of incredible to watch her dance.
Wow i'm 15 too and I don't even come close to your level! :) You are so amazing! And I can't wait to see which company you choose to be with when your older enough!
wow, the improvement from 14 to 15 is incredible! I love how your feet look much stronger as that was one thing I was hoping that you would work on. They weren't bad before at all, but now they're much stronger and the line is seems cleaner. The upper body as well is more fluid. :)
Astounding! Beautiful pirouettes, jaw-dropping extension and the kind of musicality that's unteachable - you've either got it or you don't. This was only Bronze???
miko, you should REALLY consider competing at the Prix de Lausanne!!! It can open up opportunities for you to do even more wonderful things than you are already doing! and you would do really well!!!
GOOD LUCK at the Prix. You are probably rehearsing like crazy, but you will be fantastic. I hope they pick you for a video blog; I'll be on the lookout for you even if they don't. xoxo
You are very good and expressive ballerina!! Keep going better! But I have a question: why your music is slower than it is normally...? At Giselle, act 1, at YAGP, was slow too...

This is true art! Her extensions are unbelievable, her lines are flawless, and her technique is amazing. She reminds me of Natalia Osipova, just an incredible dancer. Expecting great things from this one!
Oh my, she looks so happy dancing here. And the little flirty nuances is what made her nail this dance!! This girl can dance anything flawlessly!
This is the best Esmeralda variation I've ever seen! THE BEST!!! Great job!
I love this variation of Esmeralda!! It's so beautiful!!

I get to watch miko do this live this weekend!!!! And I am doing the same variation!!!! Go miko! You are amazing!
Arrived here straight after I finished watching First Position. Little Miko is now a beautiful, young woman. ♥

I love watching this performance!
its been great to watch her grow and mature and she's getting more and more beautiful with each step and each couru!
She is so good at this variation!
she makes it look so easy
It amazes me how much more mature and talented you are now than when First Position came out. Keep dancing!!
You've grown so much! You've always had the control and now your artistry is showing that much more. This was fantastic. Perfect really. I can't imagine that you only got bronze! It's like you've been dancing at the Vaganova Academy IN RUSSIA all your life. You'd fit right in with the Mariinsky Theatre.
Miko, Michaela and Gaya will always be some of my faves.

Beautiful! I can't wait to see her dancing with a big company somewhere!
She is with the Royal Birmingham Ballet now 😄
She's not anymore. Seems like she doesn't dance with a company. I guess she could only go so far. Unfortunately she doesn't have the best feet for ballet.

The crowd sure loves her. :)
Such beautiful lines!
This role is so perfect for her age and technique! Stunning!
You know, when I was her age, I was just getting my first pair of pointe shoes. I was so bad at first, and could hardly balance without holding on to the barre. It's kind of incredible to watch her dance.
guys able to see it here, were a very lucky...
Oooooh I really want to see her dance in person😭😭😭😭💖
How graceful, she dances so comfortably on stage.
Her costume is AMAZING! And of course her dancing is too. I have to know where she gets her costumes.
So beautiful ! Amazing *-* I love the Esmeralda Variation and Miko is perfect dancing *.* Cute! *.*
Wow i'm 15 too and I don't even come close to your level! :) You are so amazing! And I can't wait to see which company you choose to be with when your older enough!
You are soooo talented...wish you the very best on your career....
I cant belive I met you today! You really inspire me!
she has inspired me a long time ago until now.
She's already perfect, but she manages to improve even more every time I see a new video.
i just watched First Position not knowing she was in it, and then i saw her name and last name and i was so shocked!!! shes 12 in the documentary too.
amazingggggggggggggggggg miko! you are fantastic!
Miko's technique is flawless, (like it's always been) but look how much artistry she's developed!!
Absolutely FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!! She should have gotten gold.
after her triple her face is just like, 'im good and i know it!' hahah love her!
not only is she beautiful, but what a costume!!!

She is going to be one of the best ballerina when I
Absolutely enchanting :) ♥
That was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
素晴らしい！
Oh my goodness her lines and technique and feet and stage presence ugh so perfect
Perfection.

wow, the improvement from 14 to 15 is incredible! I love how your feet look much stronger as that was one thing I was hoping that you would work on. They weren't bad before at all, but now they're much stronger and the line is seems cleaner. The upper body as well is more fluid. :)
perfect performing~ love u so much,Miko^^ !
Encode the video to 800x480 and run the deinterlace filter before uploading it to TH-cam so that it looks unstretched.
wow! You have a mature dance style, adn your really, really talented!
... If she was only a bronze medalist then the gold and silver medalists must be unnaturally good, because that was already perfect
OMG! That was phenomenal.
amazing
her costume is stunnnnning
Stunning Miko, Brava!
Astounding! Beautiful pirouettes, jaw-dropping extension and the kind of musicality that's unteachable - you've either got it or you don't. This was only Bronze???
Ive been practicing this variation for an audition and they (my teachers) always say "DANCE LIKE MIKO" haha thats how amazing an inspiring she is
SHE. IS. SO. INCREDIBLY. PERFECTTTT!1!!
Amazing costume!!
miko, you should REALLY consider competing at the Prix de Lausanne!!! It can open up opportunities for you to do even more wonderful things than you are already doing! and you would do really well!!!
