she was good but the thing is she kept doing kicks and holding her leg but when she starts to get older her legs are not going to be like that and shes not gonna be able to turn that good either so yeah. if i was her teacher i would be working her turns. but im not trying to be mean here like seriously im not because im just trying to make her a better dancer cause i know it sucks when you lose so yeaa,but anyways it was good.
it was very fun to watch. it wasn't all tricks there was dancing in it and it was a good balance. melisa had control of her movements and looked like she was having a blast :) keep it up!
Beautiful control in your movements! The choreography goes well with the music. Good flexibility. There is an elegance in the way you hold your neck that is stunning.
Work on your hands and keeping them soft but controlled.
ive been looking for this version of fever for a really long time, and i cant find it anywhere! I know Peggy Lee sings it, but I like this particular version. Any help with where i could find it to download?
yes she did jump off the stage. :D The only thing that would have made dance flawless was straghtening your bottom leg in the leg extension turn. other than that. BEAUTIFUL. :D
Really good but performance wise it was ok. I loved how at :31 you decided when the turn needed to stop and u didnt wait for the turn to stop all by itself! thats wat my teachers always tell me. really good OVERALL!!!!
This dance is awesome. I loved it. You did a very nice job, keep dancing. You will get somewhere. Does anyone know whos sings this version of "Fever"?! I would love to know. I like this version.
wow girl u r owsome I love it keep it so very nice I give u 100 points n the song is nice too I try to get it but I dont know who sing it can u plz tell me who is it thankz
Melissa...WOW...wonderful control. The only things you could work on is your shoulders in your turns, don't tilt them and your revolutions will have as much impact as the finish. REALLY good extensions, don't forget the 'bad side'. I choreograph professionally and not for small shows. I would be watching you in a heart beat. Wonderful job done on this routine.
I trully love it. I've been practising my leg extensions so much hoping to get something as good as hers. Im really flexible, like i have my left & right & almost my center split flat. Does anyone have any points to help me?
ok, but little things you can work on is control of your legs...i haven't seen you dance, but watching this girl helps...its amazing how she can contol her legs not only on the way up but on the way down aswell. you don't HAVE to take 5 days a week to be that good, but you do need to be in ballet at least twice a week.
:30 makes me want to cheer, cry, and throw up all at the same time. Excellent job. (except for falling out of some of the turns, but no one's perfect).
good job,i could see some struggle on the table turns, but all of your other turns and kicks were amazing! who sung this, i have a madonna version but i was looking for one more jazzy
hey i dance to you look really good you know dancing lol i dont know what i would do with out dance i like how you are sharp on every count thats goo thats what the judges are looking for ive got last placedown 2 or 3 times for not being sharp so now i am sharp on every count lol coment me back
It is delightful to see Melissa Barlow dance. Her enjoyment and passion fro dance are obvious. Her talent, discipline, and self-confidence are wonderful. May she continue to give and receive great enjoyment through her dancing for many many years to come. Her mom and dad must be very supportive!
As far as her costume is concerned, if you think her costume is skanky, you should see what the other girls wear, because I've seen MUCH worse! They're 9 yrs old wearing a bra and underwear and gyrating around the stage. Her's is not skanky, it's a leotard and tights.
OK i realy don't get why some of these choreography people dress these little girls up into little slutty costumes all the time and shes really just showing off her flexibility so ya
the only reason they do that is because they need to hav the style to fit the song, the costume to fit the song and it needs to be easy to move in (and i mean reaally easy)
this girl is ok, but really not that good. her only asset is being really flexable. her turns are all over the place and she's doing a lot of really repedative movements. anyone agree?
actually i too am a dancer and on the contrary i think she is very strong and pretty controlled and very flexible. shes not perfect but hey i think technique isnt the only thing that makes a great dancer.
Technique may not be the only thing that makes a great dancer, but it's still important. Someone could have loads of natural talent, but without the technique to back it up they're going to have a hard time trying to convince anyone who actually knows what they're doing to take them seriously.
i suppose its just a matter of tastefullness... i'm not jealous considering i'm a graduated student from ABT and i'm in the touring company of Phantom.
find a new choreographer that doesn't make you dance like an... exhibitionist. you've got great technique, but all the shaking is too much. how old are you? 14? Not quite appropriate.
MusiixLov3, i think JackBlack does have respect for dance, as like him, i agree that there isnt alot of dance there, as a dancer urself, you can see this routine is just shouldering of legs, box splits, fouettes and pirouettes, she dosent show how she can move like a dancer in this, and i feel she dosent feel the music and show any feeling or passion.i understand why she wud do all her tricks for a competition,but what this little girl is doing is not a dance routine.
shut the hell up. you obviously have no respect for dance. i've been a professionaly dancing since i was 4 and im 16, you do the math if u think you're smart. i've never seen such talent.
oh im sorry. did i spell that wrong? hmm....i don't think that has ANYTHING to do with what i am talking about. And why do you even care? It's not like my comment was directed to you. When i am talking to you, you'll know.
I take it that you are talking to me now? Still I don't believe you. Taking dance classes at a crappy studio, I believe, but not "a professionaly dancing".
oh like how would you know where i take my dance classes? im not a poor kid or anything, and its costly to take dance classes in general. Where i live, there are no "crappy dance classes". and get off of my typo ok? "a professionally dancing". i bet someone as dumb as you probably has more typo's than a 3rd grader.
Don't blame the dancer for the choreography! I don't think she decided to move that way, but the instructor decided for her. It's a common misconstruction that the dancer controls the dance but really it's the dancer's job to embody the vision of the choreographer.
I like how she jumps off the stage at the end. It was a nice touch.
