Her ability to "slow down" the descent of her leg after such high extensions takes tremendous strength. Beautiful port de bras. Impressive for 16.

Barbara that’s what amazes me. The fact that she does slow down. When you’re in those positions you want to get out of them quickly but she just holds them. So difficult!

because those extensions are not "battement", but "développé"

Her technique and the way she presents herself on stage awes and amazes me but what amazes me even more is that even though the orchestra started the music too fast and she couldn't get into her first position in time and started late, she improvised and she made it look good without any hint of nervousness. Miko is probably one of best ballerinas of this generation

It 100% lacked enjoyment and passion. It was all technique, which is only about 25% of what dancing is, as an art form. What are you even saying, attack? is this a new ballet buzz word?? because it needs to be removed from the repertoire. Ballet is expression, NOT TECHNIQUE. Jesus, it's why i can't go see it anymore.

0:58 her strength is insane, she looks like she's just placing her leg behind her head, not like she needs momentum to swing it that high Also I love the energy in her facial expressions, she brings the piece so much life!

What is amazing for me about this girl is that despite all the technical and body abilities she has, everything looks natural and not a show off kinda thing. Also kudos on dealing like a pro with the music at the begining - not a lot of 16 years olds would be able to cope with that like nothing happened.

This divinely gifted dancer is only 16 which makes her perfection only more stunning. Those who would criticize are fools....

開始の音たぶん間違ってるんだろうけど、エシャッペを瞬時に抜いて音を合わせるとか凄すぎる！

I'm not a ballet expert by any means, but by comparison to other dancers I've seen...her technique looks exquisite, and a lot of charisma on top of that.

This will be my favorite Esmeralda variation forever!!!

That was just lovely! She makes it look so easy! It's been amazing watching her evolve. She's grown so much and come a long way!

its been 6 years and I am still happy to watch this, flawless as always Miko Fogarty!😍

Still one of the best versions I have ever seen. Enchanting and precise.

Ahhh!!! Sublime, just exquisite.

Чудо! Полная гармония техники, ритма, музыки !

So FANTASTIC! She is so talented! This was one of the best Esmeralda-solos I have ever seen! I can watch this over and over again!

for me this is her best performance, i always watch it before ballet class and exams. You are my motivation and inspiration, amazing!

This is stunning! Her technique is so delicate yet strong - well done!

C’est la dixième fois que je regarde,mais c’est toujours magnifique

After watching Miko dance, you just can't watch anyone else because it doesn't compare!!!! I have searched for many different people dance the variations that she has, and even some principle dancers don't have the same grace, fluidity and stage presence! Keep going Miko! I hope to see you live in the future :)

She is a role model in the sense that she exudes excellence in her dancing, form , beauty, style, and technique . I was considered a role model too . I too left a year after entering my company . Sometimes really excellent dancers leave their companies NOT because they are no longer role models ... because If you are a dancer .... yourself ...we both that the dance world is full of insanity .

I see passion and love of dance in her. Without passion and love for dancing one cannot possibly get perfect technique. She spent hours upon hours of her time to perfect technique. Its not fun, its tedious, its hard, its painful, and she had to do it everyday. If she had no passion she would've not progressed and probably quit already. Kudos to her, she is a lovely dancer.

BRAVO!!!!!!
