She made it look as effortless as if she was just a little girl improvising in her room. Incredible.

Agreed. She makes it look so easy, I feel like I could do the same choreography with a year or two of lessons. (I know enough about ballet to realize that I could never dance that well, but the point is, she makes it look that simple.)

But for me is kind of obvious that it doesn’t look effortless at all...

The beat on the jump just before she starts the hops is so clean! And the costume choice makes her look even more like she is floating through this :)

You can still dance even with scoliosis actually, depending of course on the degree of scoliosis you have. Mine is 19 degrees upper thoracic area. The doctor told me not to stop ballet because it actually helps in maintaining the flexibility of the spine.

She really is a true artist. There is so much physical exertion and difficulty, and so much effort goes purely into preparing the variation, but she added artistic expressiveness on top of all that, and her gestures were so elegant and tender. I am truly grateful to have seen this performance. She truly deserved the prize. Congratulations!

The pirouettes! Her lines! Not a hitch in sight.

air maxy it may be, but in the context of the comment the hitch they are talking abt is “a temporary interruption or problem”

1:10 - She did a double pirouette in both directions, very rare to see that. Beautiful performance

She looks like she is floating on air, just beautiful! Those hops while on pointe were amazing! 💖🌼🦋

Very lovely, like a flower dancing, beautiful use of her dress.

Tough routine physically. Keeping that smile going while ur feet are screaming. Very elegant execution.

This is the first ballet performance I've genuinely enjoyed. Everything about it is so charming and cute. Love the way she holds her skirt hem, and her costume in general.

If only I'd been 6 inches shorter, and didn't have scoliosis....This could have been me.....right.

@Compulsive Winner Back in the day, being tall was a widely considered a disqualifying trait for female dancers. It's different now, of course, but that's probably what OP was referring to. And having "good legs" has less to do with height and more to do with proportions. Lots of us tall folk have very short, heavy legs. All we can do is play the hand we're dealt. 🤷

Couldn't be you because you are a different person than her. Don't compare yourself with other people. Just find your own way

Enchanting, so polished for one so young.

she’s literally floating omg

just so you know, my friend knows the girl who won the prix a few years back, and she cant find a job after applying to over 50 schools. welcome to the ballet world. :(

nuala macmillan That’s so sad :( my second cousin danced for the National Ballet in China...a harsh life. Now she teaches ballet but has a very comfortable life. It must be so hard doing something that requires so much discipline and then transitioning out of it

Her phrasing and extensions are so musical and beautiful

She used every note of that music beautifully.

She has lovely musicality and expression.

Seems like the best ballet dancers are the one's where their flow, vivacity and grace completely distracts you from their flawless athleticism. When I look at a swan, I want to notice their serenity not the mad paddling underneath to stay afloat. This girl has that talent. She has it all.

Absolutely beautiful

Absolutely gorgeous performance! Lithful, graceful, energetic and her beautifully flowing dress just made all of her dancing qualities impeccable!

0:52 the way she does petit batman ,,,, omgodie she makes it look easier than it actually is qAq absolutely gorgeous 🐹🌸☄️

She is just sooooo good for her age, and her point work are excellent and that she is standing on point are wonderful!!! And her beautiful smile and dress are "awesome" !!💞

She is wonderful ❤

Full of GRACE and poetry, Ling Zhang!

Thank you for the treat just breathtaking. Such an elegant artform.

such elegance and charisma!

I love Giselle, and she was amazing. This child will do great things. Thank you for uploading this and let us appreciate her hard work. :) She also looked so happy. I'm happy for her. :)

舞台全体を使って魅了しに来てる…美しい‥

she’s literally perfect

oh my GOD her lines are so pretty 🥺🥺

あらー なんと優雅で美しい…

This girl has gained a new lifelong fan from this performance alone!

One word - effortless. If there is anything that differentiates the absolute best from everyone else, it’s their ability to make their craft look absolutely effortless.

what a sweet divine ballet dancer , shes a complete utter joy to watch xx

so much grace, and very smooth transitions.

Wow ... she had me imaging she's dancing in a room full of people though alone ... a major feat. Beautiful control and expression all the way around.

ジゼルの衣装もとても似合いますよね🎵そして躍りも上手

I've seen this variation SOO many times and it never gets old. She did fantastic!

So beautiful in many ways, the flow of her moves was flawless. And can we talk about that dress? It was perfect for the piece, visually stunning as the skirt floated as she moved. Gosh I’d love to own a dress like that.

Everything was beautiful but I loved the way she smiled before she went on, to me it seemed real. Like she was excited to go out and dance.

i am obsessed with her dress

She's so perfect! Wow!🌹🌻

Years of sweat and tears and hard work behind this beautiful dance 💃 respect

Loved every moment. Pure joy!

It’s practically seamless! So beautiful to watch.

she is so lovely!

Amazing Lin Zhang you are a white flower dancing! Brava Giselle.

that dress tho, absolutely mesmerizing

She moved with the music wonderfully and the hops looked beautiful!

Grâce, légèreté, technique , tout semble si facile en la regardant danser et pourtant... BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏

how beautiful!! she makes it look so effortless and angelic!!

That skirt is so ethereal and light😍

I wish I was this graceful. When I tried out of Giselle I kept falling but she did an even more complicated version better!

So strong and so delicate what a combination!

I'm not a dancer of any sort but I can't stop watching this performance. So beautiful!

So graceful, elegant and beautiful!

wow ,she dances like air flows

Flawless!!!!

The girl’s kidnapped in Germany hope she returns safe and sound 😢

So elegant and graceful 😍

Merci Lin Zhang pour toutes vos heures de travail pour nous offrir cette enchantement : La danse d'un petit nuage léger ! Merci à vous !

I was watching Miko Fogarty's Giselle and this was recommended to me by YT. I love Miko's version more but Zhang's class and elegance are showing signs of true artistry! She is def. an artist to watch!

Lovely, amazing, congratulations Zhang Lin

After Miko Fogarty's stunning performance back in 2013 at Moscow IBC, it is first time that i literally enjoyed from Giselle variation in some competition. So elegant, pure and effortless. And of course beautiful dress choice 💜

1:25. Wow I can’t even do half of that without being shaky and having to come down to Demi pointe

Absolutely beautiful!

When she twirls, her pointe in perfect and her dress is beautiful!

I always love the costume design for girls doing Giselle, they're always so simple yet elegant and lovely.

She is gorgeous!

Awww! Just what I needed!

Absolutely stunning!

Those beautiful graceful arms and hands...a joy to watch!

Either this girl is having the time of her life, or she is the best actor any of us have ever seen.

Très beau. Merci

I agree with all the other comments. Perfection! She is a star.

HER ARCH ALSBISHSEBR her knees, her pirouettes, her 5th position, her arabesque ON POINT like everything was just amazing

one of my favorites performances at prix❤️

How many times have we watched this solo performed by others? This is THE BEST interpretation so far. Her timing and musicality and joy is perfect.

How amazing!!

Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

I adore her dress

Wow! Absolutely beautiful!

So graceful!!

Amazingly elegant and strong. Those hops! Wow!

OMG ITS FANTASTIC 👏👏

This was so pleasing to watch.

"I was always too heavy to be a ballerina" she said, heaving a thigh.

Wow, she is just amazing.

Parabéns!!! Leveza, movimentos perfeitos, música linda e delicadeza!!! Arrasou!⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

so beautifully performed

Omg this is so beautiful!!!

she looks so ethereal

Stunning, graceful

Her 1:25 step is the most articulate and defined amongst others that I have seen :)

Hello. I see this in my KZread suggestions. Wonderful. And the hops across the stage are phenomenal. Thank you for posting. :)

Brava! Mesmerizing and enchanting performance!

Omg this is beautiful! She looks like a little cloud floating around :)

Phenomenal! Is she from an unknown planet! Thanks for making a journey to Lausanne and dancing.

You are AMAZING!!!!!
