You are stunning, my little cousin. I am only seeing you now in this incredible piece. I remember the adorable little girl I first met years ago in Paris before you became famous ! 😁❤

This is a masterpiece. After Dalí painted "Persistence of Memory" (1931), he asked Gala if, after having seen it, could someone forget it in three years time. She replied: "no one can forget it once he has seen it" (Dali, 49). The same I´d say of this presentation. I had to go back and watch it over and over. Impressive talent! Absolutely original choreography. Congratulations, Nadine. Congratulations, Gaya. Perhaps the best contemporary I have seen yet. (Celo Austin, philosopher art critic).
Amazing dancing. I could not blink. I loved the film first position, because of Michaela Deprince, but this dance of Gaya's is worth Platinum. It is amazing. And she was 11 years old. I know she trained, but this performance is more than training. Inspired.
I know nothing about ballet I'm a 30 m from Scotland and I watched the documentary and there were some talented dancers that's for sure. This dance, Cartoon girl is awesome, So kool.
I love Gaya, shes not afraid to think outside the classical ballet box. That being said, with this routine if she made a mistake, how can the judges tell. This is a brilliant strategy!
Good for her...I am so glad she did. She is an amazing, beautiful, talented young lady. Her mother is an excellent choreographer as well, and this routine proves it.
Everyone keeps going on and on about how good maddie is, but I personally believe that most of the girls in this competition could give her a run for her money
+Rebecca M. Most of them could, because they're properly ballet trained. Maddie has great natural talent, good expression, etc. but her technique flaws are evident. It's not her fault - it's just the difference between attending a competition combo studio vs. training solely in ballet for years.
+Vivian Lee I agree. However, I still believe that some of the girls here have better expressions than Maddie based on their type of dance. This is just my opinion.
+Rebecca M. No, I definitely agree with you too! Personally, I think Juliet Doherty was 10x better than Maddie ever was (and you can actually compare videos from when Juliet was 12 or 13). The faces that Juliet makes are just out of this world and incredibly mature for someone her age. If we're going to be identifying the dance stars of this generation, Juliet (and Gaya) is one of the top <3
I have watched First Position on Netflix so many times. Gaya and all the other children are amazing. I'm not even a dancer and I can't get enough of it. I have such a respect for the dedication and passion these kids have at such a young age. Gaya's mother choreographed this dance, as it says at the end of First Position.
Such an amazing dancer and for the comments on her feet it could be her shoes. My feet used to seem like terrible feet and I couldn't get onto the boxes well enough because the shoes were all wrong
