Gabrielle Hamilton’s Ballet Audition for the Bolshoi Ballet Academy

Hi Family! I found an old video of me auditioning for the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, that I got into on a FULL SCHOLARSHIP!!! I didn’t go to Russia :/ however the experience of being able to say I was dancing next to the TOP NOTCH PERFORMERS… is an honor. I started dancing at the age of 3 years old at black owned business, the Uptown Dance Academy in East Harlem . I was scouted from a performance at the Harlem State Building, SUMMER STAGE, and was asked to send a video of me articulating technique. I hope you all enjoy! This encouraged me to get back on pointe
