The young girls in this video embody true beauty and grace.
Despite their young age, they fearlessly and skillfully showcase their ballet dancing prowess.
These little ballerinas spread their “wings” as they join forces and perform Coppélia.
Coppélia, also known as “The Girl with the Enamel Eyes,” was first choreographed by Arthur Saint-Léon.
The ballet made its dazzling debut on May 25th, 1870, at Paris’ Théâtre Impérial l’Opéra, with the remarkable 16-year-old Italian ballerina Giuseppina Bozzacchi taking on the role of Swanhilda.
Eugénie Fiocre graced the stage as Franz.
Can these little girls nail a ballet routine that’s over 150 years older than they are?
They began their routine with their heads down on the floor, and soon, they all rose like awakened little butterflies.
Right then and there, their raw talent and grace as little ballerinas were immediately evident.
Shortly after, they stood and showcased their acquired ballet dancing skills.
The little girls executed the steps like true professionals, demonstrating remarkable discipline in their performance.
They tip-toed, gracefully spun, bent down and up, jumped, and incorporated various movements to emphasize the theme of their routine – butterflies.
