As a South African, my heart is bursting with pride. No matter what our dear country has gone through and is still going through, it is a sight like this that gives us hope for the youngsters in our beloved country. Well done Leroy!
Фантастическое исполнение. Вы молодцы!
Feel like that too. Lovely lines
An absolute treasure. It makes me so proud to say I was born in South Africa. He’s incredible ❤️
Εύγε του!! Ένα χορευτικο ταλέντο γενηθικε. 👍😍
This young man has it! The technique, the execution, and exuberance- it’s been some years since this vid and I pray he is still dancing and appreciated for his abilities and accomplishments. Bravo Bravo Bravo!
SUCH GRACE, BEAUTY AND ELEGANCE!!!!! 😮
I'm crying, have goosebumps from head to toe. Leroy, you are South African, one of us. Thank you for making me feel proud to say: I am a South African.
An amazing performance by an astonishing young man! Chops to him for choosing something contemporary, although his traditional ballet moves are splendid. I hope he goes on as he has begun, and that he has a career worthy of his talent.
Just sixteen and already a master! Amazing talent!
his developpe is so stretching
GENIUS ! I love him he's so atypical so great, such an amazing body and moves !!!
The way he commands the stage and fills every beat with music is stunning.
Omg!!!!!😱😱😱😱This song that you are hearing is greek. It called Zorbas and it's also a traditional greek dance.I'm so proud to hear something from my country in a worldwide ballet competition.
Amazing young man’s and equally amazing choreography!
Beautifully executed on a technical and artistic level. The choreography was wrapped in musicality and the talents of the performer. Bravo!
This is definitely the best Dance Performance I have ever seen!!! A totaly harmonised combination of African Soul, Ballett and Sirtaki!!! Absolutely georgeous!!
Always remember to acknowledge the choreographers. Like screenwriters they tend to be the most underappreciated members of the artistic community. This is a beautiful performance.
Loved it all, music , choreography and dancer, well done!
What a great discovery on TH-cam, this fantastic young many.... just beautiful: Next stop: a search for more of his videos.
WOW!!! Nothing short of impressive. That was brilliant!!!
Неожиданно и...прекрасно!! А руки- бесподобные!
Чудесное исполнение! Браво!
Très magnifique! Such poise, such depth, such choreography! Watch out dance world, this lad will take you by storm! Bravo!
Талантливый, красивый молодой человек! Очень интересно было смотреть его выступление.
Интересно какой он сейчас, чем занимается?!
Талантливый юноша)
He's dancing with the Béjart Ballet Lausanne now 😌
Quelle élégance dans ses attitudes et ses sauts !
Excelente bailarín: joven, muy plástico, talentoso. La coreografía desacertada y despegada totalmente del espíritu de esa tradicional música griega tan bella como viril.
C'est magnifique ! tellement expressif et si bien fait ! Je le regarderais pendant des heures s'il donnait un spectacle.
Bravo ! Quel talent...
Wow, he's so natural! And such easy-looking leaps! Would like to see him on a big stage!
Какая красота,какие линии,как выразительно!
beautiful natural movement, you have dance in your soul, with the technique. Believe in yourself, you give yourself well through your movement. God reward your diligence and your heart
Best Diego I've seen at Prix de Lausanne, perfect.
Beautiful dancer, beautiful choreography. The choreography reminds me greatly of 'Les Bourgeois' danced by Daniil Simpkin a few years back - also shirt and tie and several similar movements. The two dancers are very different so it is interesting to see the different expressions of the same movements.
That performance was amazing. There was something about it, universal, but in a cultural way. It combined so many cultural references while being all of them and its own thing. If I had to place where in the world that dance was referenced I could say spanish, or russian or french but then he's south african, and I wonder what elements he's brought in there. Beautiful dance and artist.
Grâce et belle maîtrise, magnifique! Bravo!
Glad to be alive to See such MAGNIFICENCE - BRAVO !!!!!...
QUE MARAVILHOSO! FUTURO PRIMEIRO BAILARINO POIS TEM TUDO E MERECE! PARABÉNS!
Amazing !!! I want to see this again and again !!! 😆👍
Wonderful young man, in total control of his own capabilities, Mikis Theodorakis is his inspiration here. Hope to see more of him in the future ...all countries need art, and , goodness, he could end up à diriger le Ballet de France,Opera Garnier, pour faire suite à Noureyv.... quelle merveille.... on a besoin de danseurs comme lui......
This young man is astounding.
What a great dancers. Dont stop. You are amazing.
Many years later, this is my fave Solo for Diego performance. Way to go!

Il est un magnifique danseur¡
J'ai beaucoup aimé sa prestation pour sa force dans les gestes et sa sensibilité
d' expression qui eleve et enrichit le niveau artistique au-dessus de la prestation technique pour l'exécution correcte des pas de ballet faits correctement.
J'aime sa personnalité comme danseur. Il apporte de l'émotion dans sa prestation et se transmite au publique.
L'excellente musique choisie du film -" Zorba, le grec -" de Mikis Theodoraquis va très bien avec cette magnifique chorégraphie.
かっこいい
しなやかで、どこを切り取っても興味深いです。
Amazing performance, thank you!
Beautiful dancing to the music Zorba the Greek. this young man has a bright future ahead of him.
I love him! Yes keep doing you because YOU are amazing!
