Annah Stevenson what does the color of her shoes have to do with “black lives matter” and all that? 😂 like i stg someone could do anything just as good as a white person and people would be like “WOW THE BLACK GIRL DID SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE SHES BLACK.” like there are thousands of white ballerinas who have trained their whole lives and they get barely any recognition while someone who is black dances for a couple years and is world famous because apparently black people are discriminated when really people tend to like them more because of “trauma of discrimination” that they’re great great great great great great aunt went through. like, ok white ppl have moved on but apparently a lot of black ppl haven’t because everyone always sets lower standards for themselves as black people and everyone says “omg she did this and she’s black” like get over it pretending that they are better because of the color of they’re skin is bullshit. everyone is capable of the same thing. she is there because of hard work not because she has darker skin and brown pointe shoes.

I feel like you were being a little too dramatic over the fact someone just wanted to compliment a dancer's shoes and showing support for black people. I feel like white people and black people equally get respect in the dance world no matter what age, gender, sexuality or nationality so there is no need to get upset over a person's opinion.😁 P.S. Not many dancers are black and no matter what race people across the globe has shown improvement and committed their whole life to dancing barely even getting a childhood or going to college. Everyone has their opinions , but there is no need to be upset over small details.

Incredible maturity for such a young dancer. Her body control is stunningly beautiful.

OMG she's too encaptivating. You just can't get enough of her dancing. There is no one in this world or has been that is this good. She's practically flawless - she creates pictures when she dances. The eyes see many things when she dances. One just wants to live and breath her. She's what all dance tutors have been wanting to see from everyone that aspires to be a dancer. She will go down in history - well she should.

Agent lost girl Naturally, I guess she would be. She feels through her movement. Many dancers think that expression is about pulling that stereotypical face and really trying hard to over over stretch. However, with her it's all natural as though it was a natural calling to dance. It's easy for her to emote feelings through her movements.

Cayla Prima She has an interesting story, to literally come from a war-torn country to rise to the upper echelons of a very insular world. That’s something to aspire to. Most dancers have been coached, prodded and cajoled to excellence from an early age. Her natural talent is what guided her from a late start. I am in no way interested in ballet but she inspires me just because of her dedication and perseverance. That’s worth talking about!

I read her book, and I relate to a small degree, because I'm a dancer and have been since I was 4. I've never been that good-but I love dancing, and seeing her absolute attention to every detail in her movement but making it look so natural at the same time is just amazing. After all the struggles she's gone through, it's amazing to see this.

Perhaps it's just an unintentional bias on my part but a lot of the solo ballerina's I've seen have had at least parts of their dances covering themselves, sort of closed off and trying to protect or shield. I've seen that posture in plenty of places, but not here. No part of this beautiful performance felt closed off or shielded. It was beautiful.

@Wakeupgrandowl

It's true - her arms never folded, crossed and pulled in as if to protect from harm and retreat, pull close something desperately. No, she was open the whole time. It felt powerful, but vulnerable (not in the sense you wanted to hold her and comfort her, like the folding in posture) but in the sense she could be attacked for displaying herself openly. It was an interesting feeling.

Gorgeous. I love how expressive her arms are. Everything is so controlled, but feels so passionate.

I was watching other videos about her,,, and if I would say one thing to her, is that... They don't see your spots, they see you, all that is you, they don't see pieces of a puzzle, they see the masterpiece the puzzle is depicting.

I love to discover a new ballerina to add to my small list of favorites, and she's definitely one of the top ones! And I love when choreography is filled with surprises.

So incredibly beautiful ! I couldn't stop watching

That was one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen. I dont know why this made me cry

My heart just breaks after watching her documentary on NBC and coming here to watch this. She is so graceful, and poised and strong. I cant believe she has endured as much as she has and is able to go through life with this. It just gives this dance so much more meaning for me and I cant help but cry. She has truly overcome alot and i thank God for her. This truly has inspired me to keep moving forward no matter what. Greatness is in her around her. Keep going strong michaela!!!! You are truly a great role model for other young women to keep striving and persevering no matter what. Thank you.

So powerful yet graceful. Hauntingly stunning.

Absolutely stunning performance. I just heard your story - what an amazing spirit. Michaela, you are so beautiful and you have undeniable talent. I was mesmerized ... I want to see more!

Respect for you Michaela. You came from so far to develop into one of the most talented ballerinas. You fulfilled your dream at last. Once again: respect, respect and respect!!!

A rare talent and individual. May God bless and keep her!

It is still difficult for some people to see the movements of a black ballerina, but I saw and felt your every move. They were so sincere and powerful; full of live and vibrance. Your movement says you have overcome and beat the odds of rejection and fear and you exude confidence. You have arrived and you are here to stay. I can see your halo, so shine girl shine. You are so wonderful and beautiful.

Exquisite!! Her dance and her heart were on one accord with the music😯

I could watch her dance all day. She's just everything in a ballerina: fierce, delicate, strong, vulnerable...not too many out there can do it better!

Gorgeous!

What I love about her is that she looks 'normal', she doesn't have the incomparable physical perfection of Margot Fonteyn or Sylvie Guillem, she's that sporty friend at work who's better than everyone else, but still the same as everyone else - until she moves, and then she becomes another being entirely. It's the arms, more than anything else.

You brought me to tears. Her perfomance embodies the strenght and grace. You are an inspiration!

I’m reading her book and it has made me cry many times she is such a amazing person she has been through more than any of us

Beautiful! It's been a while since I was captured by a classical ballet choreography. This was interesting. Beautifully executed! Bravo!

Such an incredibly talented dancer, and also it is very moving when she dances

Exquisite perfection! How extraordinary! Thank you, so much, for sharing this!
