The fact that she is dancing to Ween really impresses me.
-
wow... you see many 12-year-olds doing amazing fouettes on YT, but I think this girl has something you cannot learn, no matter how hard you work. Amazing!!! And what a choreography! Bravo!!
-
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.

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!
-
Her mom sure knows how to choreograph,great job!
-
Man, that was awesome. We need more people dancing to Ween songs. And this girl's a killer dancer.
-
Awesome! Genuinely playing with the possibilities of dance. So zeitgeisty. Great artist and choreography. Must be something in the Israeli water. Inspiring. xx

"So Many People in The Neighborhood" by Ween on the album Quebec. The band is called Ween, and the two main members use the stage names of Gene and Dean Ween, but they're not biological family nor is the name of the band "Ween Brothers".

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).

Gaya is such an amazing performer, I just wish we could see more of her.
-
That was the weirdest dance ever but at the same time one of the best! :-) :-) :-)
-
She has a very unique technique and passion for dancing.
-
I got goosebumps more than 5 times watching this, her movements are absolutely amazing
-
Ween brought me here, thanks Gene.
-
best child dancer and choreography i have ever seen!!! amazing.
-
Dean & Gene should be proud.
-
There's something subversive about this. I like it.
-
wow. this is incredible. she's very musical. and her body isolation at the age 12 is amazing. Not to mention her expressions are very entertaining. contemporary really seems to be her thing - the wild horses dance is amazing too
-
This is incredible!! She reminds me of the "Going to the store" video.
-
THATS FANTASTIC!!!
