The fouettes were fantastic and all but her piques and chaines might possibly have blown my mind even more. Her speed is incredible!

*throws Pointe shoes out of the window* I QUIT...

I love seeing the girls in the back just star struck by the dancing instead of jealous. It’s beautiful

[maureenseel]

Wow...just....just wow. My spotting is crap...this is incredible.

[bethsharpe]

Really annoyed my parents never forced me into ballet when I was 3

0:35 my jaw is literally hanging open in shock. Amazing!! What unimaginable skill!

[katiebarker]

A decade later and I still come back for those chaines. Absolutely incredible

[madelinelui]

I love Elizabeth Murphy's facial expressions when Carrie was doing fouettes, pique and chaines

[oxfordchick]

How in the world is that kind of speed even possible with chainés???? Absolutely ridiculously beautiful! And love those arms on the fouettés. Never seen that before. God she is powerful. And graceful. Somehow.

And she thinks she's a bad turner (she said in the Hippolyta video that she's a better jumper than turner)

[m.x.b.]

She timed her double and triple fouettes perfectly with the changing in the music, I love when people do that.

[meetoo]

She is amazing. Such grace but awesome strength. I also love the way she isn’t the painfully thin body type that has been so prevalent in the industry. Hats off to a fabulous ballerina 💗💗💗💗

[Becca]

really love those dancers behind. you can tell how supportive they are and they really appreciate and respect the principal dancer!

[SaltySugarPlum]

I was more impressed with the speed of her chainnes than her fouette turns! Wow!!!

[RaeynaFicst]

gorgeous! Love the choice to raise the wing arms on the doubles. Never seen that before, and it looks beautiful, ties the fouettes into the character (instead of just plunking the fouettes in because it's choreographed that way), and creates such a lovely image. Great dancer.

[tamorathepurple]

Loved looking at the some of the faces in the back, they looked so genuinely happy! Also, I know nothing of ballet technique but I loved how she held her arms!

[wildsnakethatgotlost]

She really said “YOU WANNA SEE SOME REAL SPEED ILL SHOW YOU SOME REAL SPEED”

I loved ballet, I trained so hard when i was younger, unfortunately my teacher stopped me from ever getting to high levels due to the colour of my skin. I used to watch the older girls dance in their tutus and be so mesmerised and excited to one day be part of the group, however at such a young age I didn't realise how cruel some teachers would be. Maybe in another life, for now I'll enjoy the music and the beauty of the dance
