Her playful suspension of the tambourine kicks, the crisp attention to the artistic details, and her slowing down the transition between movements like a thick fondue: 🙌 She has an innate musicality that makes those tiny artistic flourishes feel effortless. It’s soooo good. And this was her first try? 😱😍
@PaigeNewberryАй бұрын
It wasn’t her first try. She knows the combination well. But that makes it no less INCREDIBLE for all the reasons you listed!
@amandamarklandyogaАй бұрын
@@PaigeNewberry I was referring more to the fact that it’s the first time we’ve seen her do it on this channel…aka new to me. While she’s clearly had time to learn the variation-any experienced dancer can see that-I believe I’m to be forgiven for not knowing a complete stranger’s personal history with a specific variation. 😆 Not every casual watcher of this channel is an expert on MBA canon nor knows every detail of the rotating cast of characters. 🙃

She's a gorgeous dancer, but in this variation she still needs more fire.
@AnaClaudiaBertiniCienciaАй бұрын
“Asking Maya to TRY?” The girl just NAILED it! Perfect! EDIT: I prefer to see beauty and art instead of being hyper critic. If she missed a beat or made some errors, fine - she probably knows it and doesn’t need it to be pointed negatively in a comment.
@SobrietyandSolaceАй бұрын
She did get a little bit lost for a fraction of a second here and there but still did it 500000% better than 99% of people. I’m in love with her version and want to see her do it again and again.
@Vasilia4Ай бұрын
The musicality in the first part was lacking tbh. She did not hit the tambourine at the rhythm
@Tatiana-yp2bkАй бұрын
Well… not quite nailed.
@Lotts413Ай бұрын
No one is perfect and in fact lots of dancers do this variation like maya where they don’t hit it exactly on beat but they make sure their movements are crisp and visibly sharp or they add some extra pirouettes. Yet they are still on time and actually the way they do it makes the variation more unique and interesting ❤❤

It's night and day compared to the others who have done Esmeralda. No wonder Maya is with one of the best ballet companies in the world. She's a great role model to the others in the academy.
@SobrietyandSolaceАй бұрын
I love the finer details of this performance especially in the middle section that often gets rushed through and the timing of the tambourine hits at the end was just 👌I like how some use pirouettes in this section
@LunaLightbringerАй бұрын
If that's Maya 'having a go' then I can only imagine what even a little bit of practice would look like!! She deserves her professional career and the way she rocketed up the ranks at her ballet company (is it the Swedish Royal Ballet?) She's a natural talent 😍❤❤❤
