  • This is incredibly beautiful, but, sadly, is nothing even remotely close to my experience of grief. I see people supporting one another through a passionate experience. I can easily see a parallel to grief there. But I see strength and grace and beauty and youth, as oppose to the crippling, disgusting, lonely, helpless experience that leaves you decades older that grief is. It's just too pretty.

    This is not me declaring the piece a failure, you just can't reach everyone I suppose.

  • <3

  • wow this piece is just ...wow. the chorry is amazing, you guys really captured the spontaneity of human emotion and you 3 work so well together. this piece was so amazing,, well done :)

  • Lindoooo! Muito emocionante. Parabéns

  • ווואווו ריקוד מדהים!

  • this always makes me want to sob.

  • @Powerballet98 Can we give this guy a break please. Art is subjective, people see it differently, that the beauty of it. The people who think this piece is beautiful (myself included) are not the only ones allowed to watch it and voice their opinions.

  • I've been watching this video since 2009, and I have to say 1:58 to 2:25 never ceases to amaze me. Wow! The entire piece is beautiful, though!

  • beautiful... i should be doing math homework right now but these are so much better....

  • i think this video is amazing. im an inspiring dancer and these girls motivate me everyday:) kate is an AMAZING choreographer !!

  • Not my favorate i have to say but i still think it was really good. : )

  • I watch this like, at least once a week XD

  • This is simply unbelieveable!!!! So much EMOTION!! I don't think I've seen nor will ever see again something so heartwrenchingly beautiful or expressive! Bravo! XD

  • Who sings this song and whats the name of it?

  • @sedaraofficial Sigur Ros - Glósóli.....they're seriously amazing

  • gorgeous dance

  • At first I hated how fast they were moving in relation to the music. But as it went on I realized it was almost like symbolizing death throes... I might be extrapolating too far but the rapid movement and the idea of death just seems too obviously juxtaposed for there not to be a message in it.

  • where is this studio at like what state!!

  • @pinkypaige17 Illinois i think. The company is called Beyond Words Dance Company, they have their own website too.

  • These girls are so inspiring!

  • i want to dance at their studio the choreographer is amazing!!!

  • OMG this is beautiful! I love it, i love you girls! Tutorial ?

  • amazing

    

  • that was another beautifuly performed dance!

  • Tied for my favourite.

  • you think so much

    billy

  • im inlove with this dance! and the song.. ugh! <3 brava!

  • holy crap that was amazing Im inspired

    

  • holy crap that was amazing

  • To get inside Kate Jablonski's mind would be a wonderful thing. 

  • Beautiful...should be made public. Im sitting here in tears.

  • Why does Kate Jablonski not do choreography for SYTYCD?? This is amazing. I'm at a lose for words right now :)

  • I'm sorry, I don't speak englich.... Tout ceux qui n'aiment pas cette vidéos sont jaloux ! Continuez c'est vraiment superbe !

  • @Marichat31 je te comprends! LOL

  • :')

  • do these girls still dance????????? i haven't seen them in any of your videos in a long time :( they were my favorite!

  • @moonshoes84

    vogel graduated in 09 and hejna graduated in 2010, wienke still dances but at perseverance dance company

  • This is one of my favorites. You girls are absolutely amazing and the choreography is stunning. :)

  • am a tap dancer that is slowly moving into lyrical dancing...I have seen some great dances done by choreographers, however this just absolutely blows my mind. All of Kate Jablonski's dances are absolutely breath taking and amazing. I have never seen someone be able to put so much emotion and character into a dance like she can. Plus she has very talented dancers that are in sync and make the most of the dance itself. You have my vote, Kate Jablonski...Absolutely amazing!!!!!

  • this made me cry.<3

  • the roses and headdresses are a bit much. the dancing, the choreography, the song, and the piece as a whole are definitely strong enough to get the message across without them. 

  • @FrannyQ1 The roses are vital without them it would be a completely different dance... haha :P plus this is beautiful and the LAST thing i'd call it is over the top. It's perfect.

  • the roses and headdresses are a bit much. the dancing, the choreography, the song, and the piece as a whole are definitely strong enough to get the message across without them. 

  • I would kill to be able to do this. I've wanted to be a dancer for as long as I can remember. Sadly I live in a little suburban city that doesn't really have any dance company with professionals teaching. I don't play sports, and my weight's gotten over the edge a bit. I'd love to be able to start this kind of dancing, even though I'm already 15. :/

  • @iluvchrishalliwell

    It's definitely not too late for you to start. If you are really passionate about dance learn what you can online, start with the basics and get in shape, and you can progress. Really make sure you learn the correct way to move your body, if you want any help message me, but I promise you it's not too late if you really love dance. :]

  • i think this is the 25th time this week i watch this dance! i love it soo much!<3 kate jablonski is amazing! lauren vogel is amazing too!

  • beautiful! brought tears to my eyes...I could feel the grief.

  • Sigur Ros "glosoli"

  • what is this song called?i really love this dance :D

  • kate jablonski's choreography is simply amazing. she never fails to impress me.

    and then lauren vogel comes in and steals the show every time. my eyes are always on her. beautiful ladies <3

  • jezus wat een geweldige choreo

  • @ravenrockga you think this is dumb? How about you film yourself doing this dance and put it on youtube, we'll see who the dumb one is then.

  • @ravenrockga look, we all understand that your IQ & vocabulary maxed out at the age of 16 when learning how to swear was "cool", but come on now. great way to show you have a strong supportive argument there, calling a beautiful (15 year old) young girl a fat cow and dickfuck? very imaginative.

    and when we're at it, this dance was beautiful. that's my opinion. i don't care if you think its dumb, its your opinion. but this last comment was not acceptable behavior from an adult.

  • @ravenrockga Ok honestly these girls put a ton of hard work into this. So if you aren't gonna appreciate it then don't comment. If you are gonna comment leave CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM not just "this is dumb..." that doesn't help the choreographer or the dancers. Oh and guess what! NOBODY IS MAKING YOU WATCH THIS. If you didn't like it then why did you have to comment or even finish watching the video. Answer me that? I know i sound like a bitch here but they deserve better then your comments.

  • @GurlyDancer101 I love this, I don't think it's dumb at all. But you need a thick skin in the art community. There are going to be people, hundreds of them, who just don't get it, and say things like that. You can't go all crazy every time it happens.

    Art is subjective, I've performed things knowing fully that a few people will think it's brilliant, but the vast majority of people will think it's dumb. We're dancers, we perform for them non the less, it's our job :)

  • wow! great! um so glad i stumbled upon this!

  • miss lauren vogel!

    

  • lauren vogel<3

  • sigur ros and kate jablonski?! what could be more perfect?!?!

  • your choreography and the dancing is beautiful! so are all your other pieces i would love to learn your material it looks amazing

  • Kate Jablonski, your musicality is amazing

  • this is beautiful! made me think of my friend that died a few months ago!!!! made me want to cry! i loved it!

    RIP AUSTIN KROSP!

  • who is this song by?

  • I want Lauren Vogel back

  • @yoyovampira

    she is pursuing dance in california! im sure she'll be back in one way or another,

    anyways, i also want emily hejna back!

  • That was an absolutely amazing piece of work. I can't tell you haw much I appreciate this piece, especially from an artists perspective. Not only was the choreography brilliant and inspiring but it reflected the music beautifully (and as a musician I don't say that lightly). As a group the three of you guys had amazing chemistry and strength. And the dance itself was executed beautifully. Amazing job you guys! ^_^

  • This is absolutely AMAZING! :)

  • @mellamobrittney

    lol thanks

  • what does "imo" mean?

  • @gymgurl1995 in my opinion=}

  • the people who dislike this are ASSHOLES ;)

  • waw u guys are so fluent, weldone

  • who would actually dislike this? honesty?

  • @osioda @SlurpeeEmma

    are yall stupid? or deaf? or blind? if you hear the accents and look at their movements it fits perfectly, each time...

  • Choreographer- Thank you for taking the risks! Love from NY! Dance teacher in NY who lost my best friend a few months ago- Thank you for this- all the emotions of grief- the anger, chaos and sadness. . . .also the joy. Well done!

  • I'm not into posting comments to rile people but I just don't get this. It doesn't go with the type of music & I can't see it in any way.

    The dancers do their stuff well and the choreography is good but imo, this music doesn't go with it. Maybe it's because I've seen the original video that goes with it and I expect more?

  • @osioda i actually thought the exact same thing. and it's not just this one dance. it's a lot of them. don't get me wrong, kate jablonski is an amazing choreographer and the dancers are fascinating. just the song choice is a bit off with these types of mouvements.

  • @osioda I disagree. It's the contrast between the calm music and the harsh movements that makes this dance so great. In my opinion, it truly describes grief: a combination of emotions that are confusing and overwhelming. It's pieces like this that make Kate Jablonski's choreography so unique and powerful.

  • @katko13 I think the choreography is OK but I don't feel the unique & powerful bit from the dance when performed with this song. At times the dancers appear awkward & the moves don't flow, unless that's what KJ set out to achieve, which in that case she has.

    I think sometimes we fail to see what's put in front of us and look for some spiritual or greater meaning, when in reality an artist is trying push the boundaries, some work, some don't & imo this one doesn't work....well for me anyway

  • holy trinity.

  • Best dancers in the world? I think yes.

  • The first time I watched this routin, it gave me the chills. It still does.

  • this is the best trio i have ever seen!

  • i swear every choreo i see from kate i go download the music!! its amazing! where does she find this stuff

  • A young girl from my dance studio passed away in January this year Brie Rose Antonio. We miss her so very much. This reflects how we feel about her. <3 R.i.p.

  • I love the part at 1:32 where she reaches out to the sky and then breaks down sobbing. The other girls rush over to her, trying to console her. Afterwards, they all walk away wringing and shaking their hands as if they don't know what to do about the situation. The imagery is so real. It's amazing=]

  • @mellamobrittney i loved this comment, its my favorite place in the piece also. Got the same assosiations from it. when she reaches for the sky almost longingly i interpret that as her almost longing for death or wanting to leave this place, and them rushing over holding her down, and breaking down crying.

  • Where did yall find those dresses? That dress would be perfect for my solo this year.

  • Its amazing (:

  • first goosebumps, then tears. absolutely beautiful in every possible way.

  • My mom just died a few years ago. I am going through an incredible amount of grief. I can relate to this song like no other. If i could cry a stairway to heaven, i would be with her forever. We were perfect together. I am in so much pain without her. She was my life. R.I.P: Sheri Lynn <3
