Oh, the video is absolutely adorable! Apparently Mao practiced ballet from age three to eleven.

Thank you SO much! This is priceless. And look, she's in black at an early age...didn't someone here say she wanted to see Mao as the Black Swan?

I'm impressed that she stayed long enough to go en pointe. I hope some of the dance experts on GS find this thread. I always felt there was a balletic quality to Mao's movements, especially her upper body carriage and her arms. It's one thing that makes her appeal to me.

I hope someone can translate the conversation. Mao has such an expressive face, doesn't she!

She is much too young in this video to be on point.

Cute Taka and Mao had press conference together at the end of the vid and Mao whispered " This is like marriage conference." Taka" Shut-up." So cute!!!

Thanks for posting this! Too cute for words.

I can't wait to see Mao Asada at worlds and 4cc, if she's competing there.

Mao as the black swan. :-) If she ever gained the technical vertuosity she did on skates en pointe she would have made a splendid Black Swan.
