Goodness. Not even a teen, yet already this technically accomplished, with this much theatricality? Can't wait to see how she takes to pointe. Definitely one to watch! Brava!!!

[BethiWFH]

My goodness, who knows to what heights this young dancer will go? Such amazing control and ability at the age of 11. Greatest respect from England.

I honestly couldn't believe I was watching an 11 year old dance. This is extraordinary!

In all my years teaching dance, I cannot say I've seen anything this well executed, technically or emotionally, by someone Rebeca's age! Well done!

[sorellman]

Mesmerizing and way beyond her age in terms of both technique and interpretation. Bravo!

Wow! That was so unique! And wow, loved everything about this. The dancer, the music, the costume (and how it accentuated the choreography!) Lovely!

Восхитительно всё! Девушка, сам образ, хореография, отточенность движений! БРАВО!!!
