[ananyamoses]

The dislikes are from the people who cried because of how beautiful she was, so their tears blurred the like button. ;D Great job! It was so clean!

Ottimo questo balletto che contempla variazioni veloci e sicure ed ottima impressione di facilita esecutiva d'acchito e di levità fatta tensione motile sorprendente nella ballerina. Ottimo il tourbillon vorticoso di giravolte su di un solo appoggio di punta.Eccellente il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dalla protagonista e l'elanismo nell'elevazione dell'arto per l'aggraziato eundo.Supetlativa. Bighin Giulio Renzo. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[judithwalker]

Amazingly gifted! That ending was so perfect! Where is she now?

[ElizaDolittle]

She's got amazing flexibility, extension, and balance . . . not to mention grace!

Do the dancers who won in 2020 region semi-finals that were held before the world-wide pandemic lockdowns, get to participate in the 2021 finals?

[kahyemin]

Does anyone know how old she was when this video was filmed? Thx!

[meredithjernigan]

You remind me sooo much of Micaela DePrince! You are stunning!

[shelleyross-chaderton]

Madison deseved to win the competition. I saw the winner's dance. What a joke it was compared to Madison's. Savea Kagan had to turn off the comments on YouTube, evidently because she was being blasted. We all know who the real winner was.

This girl is beautiful and very talented, 100s times better then this bigot and racist whining Misty Coppeland who's talent is PR nothing else. Misty should look at Madison and learn, talking about "systemic racism" crap. If you are good, you are good, no matter what skin color do you have.

[krasavam]

This girl is thousand times better then famous racist ugly "ballerina" Misty Copeland . Misty should of look at this BALLERINA and learn how to do it and shut up for the rest of her life
