We’re always impressed when a kid engages in any kind of activity and shows passion for it.

It is a completely different story when a child exceeds all the expectations and becomes a professional before even hitting puberty!

Seems like the talent runs in the family!

Natasha Furman is a nine-year-old girl from Russia who’s already won a gold medal at the 2018 World Ballet Competition in Orlando. The video here is a finals performance. Dressed in a beautiful red tutu, she sways confidently across the stage, making you think that anything is possible.

If she could learn to dance like that at such a young age, then anyone can pursue their dreams and become good at what they love!

The little girl said in an interview that she practices five times a week with her mom. We knew that a lot of hard work has to be behind this phenomenal performance!

She’s clearly in love with the art form of ballet, and that’s the best part of the video.

You can almost feel her joy through the screen! The most important thing is that she’s not doing it to please someone else, she dances because she loves it. Natasha stated that she’s never nervous before the competition, only excited and proud.

Everything she’s achieved so far is quite impressive!

You have to enjoy her variation the girl is doing one pirouette after another, and it’s a delight for the audience. Natasha looks as if she’s just popped out of the musical box—there’s so much grace and precision in her every move, it’s surreal.

One thing that makes the World Ballet Competition different is that the dancers get their scores right away.

Before they had to wait up to three days, and you can imagine just how forever it actually seems. Ballet dancers sit in the Kiss and Cry area, where they wait for the results. It’s an appropriate name because everyone cries of happiness, plus there are kisses and hugs from those who came to support them.

Natasha gives the biggest hug to her mom, and it’s clear they have a beautiful bond.

The girl was nine at the time of the competition, though she’s 12 now and is still heavily involved in ballet. She dances on pointe, and it seems like gravity’s got nothing on her. Her mom and dad are also focused on her success, mom helps with making the tutus, and dad keeps those point shoes in a good shape since Natasha says that she breaks them easily. Nothing like a loving family working together.

The video was posted two years ago, and it has more than half a million YouTube views.

The video was uploaded in 2018, and the number of views is slowly growing.

We’re sure that Natasha’s popularity will equally grow over time, she seems very dedicated to her ballet career, and she’s got her parents as her biggest fans. One more can a girl ask for. We’re always happy to see an example of parenting gone great.
