Holy Moley!! Her arms are like quiet silk while her body is strong without effort....what a blessing to us

[saasie]

I absolutely LOVE that she's wearing pointes in her skin shade 😍 It gives her such beautifully clean lines im getting chills

[emmaolivera]

She looks like a fairy to me while she's dancing, it's great.

[illouienati]

everyone else: *gives well thought-out opinion*
me: pretty dancer go woosh

[mariacamilaarredondovargas]

She not only is a great dancer, but she owns the stage. I couldn't take my eyes off her.

[shimmerine]

Glad she was able to find a company to dance with in England. She's a wonderful dancer.

[Christina]

She is a rarity for this age and the "competition" ballerina - she looks happy and like she loves what she is doing. I have seen 100s of young dancers do this variation (which I think is boring) with a grin and bear it feeling. It takes a true dancer to bring life to this old warhorse and she is able to pull it off. Brava!

[mrlopez-pzpu]

Most of the black classical dancers I have seen who make it to ballet's highest levels have a kind of super-human center of gravity, coupled with an equally extraordinary musicality. Precious Adams definitely has these qualities ❤ She performs Petipa's choreography in this clip in a way never really seen before. BRAVA LA ADAMS!!

[kyleederpsalot]

holy shit her musicality though why aren't we talking about that. there is one moment where she might as well be plucking the strings with her feet. diviiiine

[briannataylor]

6 years later don't know why this is in my recommended but Im not complaining the algorithm won this one

[NOONE-cdgu]

Her dettournes at the end were so satisfying. She looked like one of those ballerinas who had escaped a music box !

[elizabeth]

It feels like she just popped out from a music box...so elegant and an ethereal magic to her performance!

[robmerci]

This is the mark of a trouper: Performing with a painful injury and looking so bright and so happy and so wonderful and performing so well while your every second or third thought is "OUCH!" Ms Adams outdid herself and showed what she is really made of by creating a moment of beauty under demanding, adverse circumstances. Congratulations my dear, your professional attitude will take you far.

そして、落ち着いた、大人の表情が良い

細かいところまで、考えて踊っている印象

[dianariley]

She literally just danced and her tippy toes for the entire 2+ minutes!🧚🏾‍♀️Absolutely Gorgeous!😊💛👏🏾👏🏾

[Lanhua.v]

watching miss precious dance this variation made me realize how the steps are actually supposed to be synced to the music LOL. its so satisfying how she hits the notes exactly. her arms are so gentle and fluid. charming stage presence. a delight to watch and extremely well deserved prize win <3

[lindaharrison]

She is beautiful. Pretty girl, great body, natural grace to spare, good technique. She has a future in ballet.

[Burnerbaby]

She makes everything appear so effortless, it’s a disappointment that she cannot move throughout her daily life en pointe. She’s so perfectly elegant. An absolute diamond.

[egyptian_thoth]

I was so captured that i forgot to blink.

[gpopov]

Her performance is outstanding. Everything comes together perfectly: lightness of dancing, musicality, mesmerizing smile, beautiful and graceful arms, great fluidity, perfect technique, strong ballerina body; she expresses so well artistically the happiness of Aurora; what an amazing blessing for the world of ballet.

( To me there is only one thing that generally female ballerina dancers need to have changed about: the need to look more professionally- to have much better covered their privet parts, may be having a bit longer dresses and overall more changes to the dressing, and I suggest all this to every professional who dresses female ballerina dancers, regardless of the ballerina ethnicity, skin color, ballet school or academy…….)
