Julia Lipnitskaia

Julia is such a talented artist for one so young. She is able to control her body so well to create beautiful and precise movements and rhythms as she skates. Her exceptional flexibility gives her the ability to broaden the possible shapes and lines of action to create. She is also able to capture and hold onto strong emotion through her entire performance.

This is my favorite performance of hers. While her Olympic skate was excellent, there is no video where there is no commentary, which is crucial since music is such a heavy influence in this art form.
