is she practicing tai chi? I thought I recognized golden rooster stands on one foot in there. But I might be insane.

Just a random thought.

Since the dancer doesn't convey suffering during her performance, the message at the end, "In life...pick yourself up when you fall!", seems like an afterthought.

Motion alone isn't enough to create interest. When movement conveys emotion--through pose and timing--is when the audience starts to care (as animators, our goal is to entertain).

Keep it up.

Thanks neeters; thought I had that covered with the recovery from the fall, but (in hindsight) I should have had better body language.

I took Neeters (sage) advice and it made for a much stronger statement.
Revised version is in above utube link.
