She once went to a "non ballet" dance competition that I was at called Spotlight. Not only did she come in and beat all us, but she blew us all away with her fabulous technique. She has totally inspired me to stop playing around with this competitive dance stuff and join a real ballet school. This was an amazing dance.

I'm quarter Swiss, quarter British, half Japanese. Born in London, lives in the US.

Those turning sequences though...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Beautiful! I love that she has such style with the variation (not something you generally see in girls this age). Very nicely done. This is one young lady to watch as she gets older!

I’m 11 and try to make Black and White swan on pointe. My trainer say I play this good:) I want to play at Bolshoi when I grow up. Miko is amazing, my favorite ballerina!❤️❤️❤️

I Can't believe I had to compete against her....I watched her perform this when i was getting ready for my dance! :D

whoa I just realized she takes classes @ my dance studio in Palo Alto. I took one ballet class and she was in it! I didn't know who she was @ the time but I recognized her as the best dancer in the class so was following her... even though you're not supposed to be following someone else... lol... I recently watched first position and I didn't know who she was. Then, the dance director emailed everyone today telling of her short performance on this Monday @ the studio!

I love her xD shes so good! so talented and great musicality!

Omg I'm 13 and not even on pointe yet , never mind doing all these things on pointe :o

she has a beautiful renverse! its just georgous!

at first i thought she was like 16 then i was like woaaaah. she is amazing, everything was basically perfect.

Amazing!!!! I watched her black swan in 2013, I still think that this one is the best!

my goodness, at this young age!! You are a real swan, wonderful!!!!

phew, tough choreography! and mostly nailing it at age 13, impressive. love the classic stiff tutu as well, so pretty

Wow! She is amazing, I've watched other videos of her when she was older and she was fantastic and even in this video she seems flawless although she could possibly work on her wrists

What a joy to watch you, Miko!

this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen

That was just beautiful!

i am about the same age as you and i can barely do these things! What amazing talent and gifted you have. you are an inspiration for me to do ballet. please keep dancing!

I saw her in the documentary film, she was awesome :)

I think she looks very confident in her dancing, and all her moves are very precise. experience will make her a better dancer!

OH MY GOSH. THIS IS AMAZING.

Miko, very well done!!! U inspired me a lot, seriously. Btw, u have a great mum. I love every single part of u!!!

It is beautiful! She is truly amazing

It's amazing how professional she looks at only 13 years old!

Just beautiful!!!

AMAZING!!

AMAZING!!!! MIKO IS SO TALANTED!!

fantastic!!

Wow!! Beautiful!!

みこちゃんすごい…！！

eu realmente amo ver ela dançar ♥♥♥

AMAZING o_O

Beautiful alignment😍

WOW this is amazing

Miko, you are amazing.

Cute. Thanks for a chuckle.

I think the turn sequence that repeats many times was a bit too advanced but except for that amazing performance! I did feel her nerves after botching that turn sequence.

Bravo Miko....I love you!!!!

So much talent at such a young age.

her execution of this at thirteen is incredible, and it is better than seeing another don quixote or esmerelda variation. it is a risk performing a more "mature" variation at a competition, but if done well, like miko did, then it is for sure to place high on the list.

Beautiful dancing! Sometimes the hands were a bit weird, they should be a bit softer. Amazing though!

She did! She did the variation at Varna, it's posted on this channel!

she is absolutely breathtaking bravoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :O

Superbly talented, in every way this one, and with such a difficult dance too. Beautiful upper back neck arch on the attutude turn , which is sooooo difficult to balance with.

wowooowoow u are AMAZING

Amazing !! Beautiful :)))

Whaaaaat she is 13 years old? woow you are absolutely amazing!

She is amazin

Que maravilla!

Que arraso!!!!!

She such a beautiful dancer, why can't I be amazing like her?

Bravo!

Beautiful - and yet not a drop of character!

This amazing! Your technique was flawless and your tutu was gorgeous (: are you doing yagp again this year?

Omg!!!!!!! You r perfe

you are my hero. you are a prodigy. i love you.

いろいろな人の動画を見てるけど、本当にこの子の踊りは優雅で美しい。指先まで優美で繊細で。

miko u are soooo talented!!!! u have the amazing abillity and training :) i think ive watched all ur vids and i realised that once ur a professional ull prob have no variations u havent done!

すごくきれい!!

I think that she has a character of Black Swan, amazing!

진짜 멋있다..

Wow!

Unbelivebale!! waoh!!

WOW!!!

I can see this variation was a challenge for her, but she did an AMAZING job with it!!

yeah iam glad to see a girl with the right passion in her face!!

I could cry right now, she's amazing and she's only 13. I'm 13 and haven't even started inter-foundation........

Wow!Amazing!My friend is 13 and she just started pointe!

her costumes always suit her perfectly

muito lindo

she is so amazing i love her i wood kill to be her

girl was born to dance!!!

Wow, so young but also these technique!

questa bambina è una vera artista ... se è a questo livello a 13 anni non oso immaginare che livello raggiungerà quando ne avrà 20 ... brava davvero!

amazing technique, but I think her hands were a little floppy and black swan is a very theatrical role and she wasn't acting at all.

@esalazardance Probably just her interpretation on how the mood is suppose to be. Black Swan isn't a "happy" role.

That's perfect 🧞‍♂

i love your arms :)

she's beautiful

@iluvmybalto you're so beautiful and you're extraordinary dancer!

Elle a une superbe technique, j adore ce ballet ♥. Elle est magnifique

Linda

Of her age.. I can't say whether she's spectacular only time will tell.. And if she keeps on the same path I'm sure she will be spectacular!

she is a great dancer but i don't think she was ready for this dance.

this is a really hard variation, but shes amazing!

Wow

pretty good

Beutiful

DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg shes so machure!

Look at some of her videos of when she was 15 then.

Since little is perfect! still had people who gave negative votes ...

This is the music most commonly used (in my experience over many years) for Odile's variation. I have seen at least one performance using a different piece of Tchaikovsky for it, but I think it's very rare. So, it probably is, indeed, the music Alonso would have used.

She has :) Check out her variation from Giselle at the 2012 Grand Prix. You will be impressed, I'm sure!

She danced better at the Final at the New York City Center but we couldn't get the DVD because of the regulation of the New York City Center.

I wish she did esmeralda variation

I was lost in her performance, I cannot believe she is only 13.

@uttripudio I don't think she's too thin. You have to take into consideration the amount of training she goes through. You can't become this good with little practice. Ballet is extremely hard work. Also, she's only 13. She may also get her thinness from her family and such. But she's not only thin, she's toned and has muscle. I don't think that her weight was a factor in falling out of her turns. She has amazing balance for her age, and for the difficulty of those turns.
