Allie Bertram- Audition Solo

[imalilcrazyx3]

put some pointe shoes on this girl!

[lucygvvdancer]

interesting to see it on flat

[leycirobyn95]

shouldn't she have just carried on the foot from the first grande battement into the pirouette prep? she didn't close fifth before either of the 'big' jumps either

[ballet901ami]

WHY THE HECK DID SHE NOT DO IT ON POINTE OR FLAT SHOES!!?? THAT MAKES HER AND THE PIECE LOOK REALLY BAD!!

[rubberduck1810]

@ballet901ami It has been mentioned below, but she said that the stage was too slippery for shoes. She'd originally planned to do it on pointe as well. Shame :(

[ballet901ami]

@rubberduck1810 ohhh :( :( :( :( :(

[xbeautyandthegeekx]

I wish they featured ballet on SYTYCD in America... as far as I've seen, they don't :( Underappreciated discipline.

[cchellzz]

lacked in height

[redapples315]

ugggh her feet!!! so jealous

[Mary94Jane]

I don't understand why people don't appreciate ballet anymore....

Hip-Hop and contemporary that's it.

Really sad.

[MayaSings98]

Allie is honesty the most beautiful dancer i know.. i wish one day i could dance half as well as she can

[hockeygirl789]

you can definitely tell she's in pointe.

[MrKLT1945]

@hockeygirl789 I wonder how many commentators here have ever danced in a prof. company! Some comments are plain stupid. These are amateurs, not girls from Vaganova/RB! This retired Royal Ballet dancer thinks she shows she had a good standard of amateur training (millions of badly-trained amateurs out there!) and love of dance. BTW closing in fifth on that floor in barefeet would be nigh on impossible for a pro!

[hockeygirl789]

@MrKLT1945 i don't know how that was relevant to my comment but okay....

[MrKLT1945]

@hockeygirl789 Senior moment and clicked in wrong place! Sorry!

[hockeygirl789]

@MrKLT1945 haha you're fine.

[dancer20116]

good but she needs more height in her right left for firebirds

[HomoAfanusBalleticus]

one of the best kitri variations....

[TheBalletdiva]

do u know how hard it is to turn so many times and close in 5th iam a profetional dancer and its still hard so back off

[LadySingBlues10]

@TheBalletdiva it's hard to take you seriously as a "profetional" dancer when you can't even spell the word professional.

[ballet901ami]

@TheBalletdiva i dont find it that hard, i mean its not easy but its posssible

[TrnsfrmerPrncs4lyfe]

the turns from the corner she never once closed in fifth

[PixieGirl778]

@TrnsfrmerPrncs4lyfe Isn't it incredibly hard to? Even Svetlana Zakharova, Natalia Osipova and others couldn't do it.

[pinkyhurtsalot]

@TrnsfrmerPrncs4lyfe For the first three fourths of her turns you couldn't even see her feet.

[almostelphaba]

@TrnsfrmerPrncs4lyfe It looked to me like they were supposed to be travelling pirouettes, which end in fourth.

[RubtyTapDancer]

Really ? wtf ?

[ballet901ami]

@RubtyTapDancer ummmmmm yeah shes pretty awesome like some one who canACTUALLY UNDERSTAND BALLET

[jinpitakki33]

ugh, what the hell is she doing kitri on demi-pointe for...? if you can't do it on pointe, then don't do it at all! makes her look like a cop out...

[CrypticThief]

@jinpitakki33 I'm pretty sure on the show she said she tested out her shoes but the floor was too slippery... even for when she was on the show the floors were not well suited for ballet so she had to use to excess amount of rosin to get decent gripping...

[jinpitakki33]

@jinpitakki33 ohhhh. that makes sense. but still, there just seems to be something inherently wrong with doing kitri on demi-pointe haha. it just... feels wrong.

[cutedanzr4]

more "fire: would have been nice but wowww she is amazingggg!
