You are so good! I can't believe you're only 8. I am so jealous of your pirouettes. I can't even turn that many times! Keep up the great work!

ABT is calling you tiny tiny ballerina! i promise if you keep dancing ABT (american dance theatre) is gonna WANT you!!! lol.

aw sweetheart your so cute keep dancing! look at her face! she looks so passionate about dancing and very happy! but omg your extenstions and technique for a little one like you is amazing cutie! keeeeppp dancinnn! dancin' beauty

no way!!!she can't be 8.she is way to good.wow.ballet seems so likeable now after watching this.seriously!!! great job!!!!

I love the costume!

Great talent! I want to see her dance when she gets older! She'll be really good. And she also looks so happy!

Foundation is extremely important. Don't push too hard for complicated steps. Back to the foundation, I think her teacher knows what I'm saying. Especially her little shoulders.

claire is one of the sweetest people on the face of this earth. that smile isn't fake. if you knew anything about her, you'd know that she saves that smile for when she is truly happy. that's when she's dancing. she lights up a room and she just so happens to be the only 8 year old i know that can hit four turns perfectly. please don't hate on the little cutie. she's good. amazing actually. i love you claire

Claire, you are so sweet and genuine and talented! You are so great in this dance as well as every other dance I've seen you in!!!

i love the choreography. Great movements!!!!!!!. and i agree with maradance!!!!! i am doing ballet and see movements that i am learning how to do, at the age of 19, and Claire is great!!!

is pretty much one of my favorite people. so please dont talk bad about her. she's 8 years old, full of charisma, and dances as though it's her last. she loves to dance and saying she's "brainwashed and cheesy" just makes me want to punch the wall. if you knew her as well i do then you will obviously know this and everyday that i see her, she puts a great big smile on my face. i love you claire(:

Adorable. Simply adorable!

Hey Claire! You are such a beautiful and talented dancer! Keep up the good work!

I just want to say that noobinator1 has some issues with attacking little girls. This person also commented my daughters video and made rude comments. Just want to tell the teacher and choreographer of this routine that it is very cute and impressive for her age. I enjoyed it and please don't let the rude people get you or your dancer down.

As her teacher and choreographer I have to respond to the criticism by saying that she adores dancing and the smile on her face is always genuine. She works extremely hard and loves it with all her heart. She is not a "brainwashed, cheesy" dancer. She is at class because she wants to be there. She is on stage because she wants to be there. I have danced for many classical and contemporary companies and I would never train a dancer inappropriately or push them to be a "cheesy" competition dancer...ever. I have trained numerous dancers, and she is very talented and skilled for such a young age and the choreography was meant to display her talents. You are entitled to your opinion but this site is meant for positive critiques and comments to help the dancer.

the last thing we need in this dance world is another cheese brainwashed little competition dancer!!! "Lets try more turns and give it a really fake smile this time" says the teacher

amazing. so much talent at a young age.
