  • woww.. words can't even explain how amazing this is... beautifull.

  • She is amazing! When ever she gets old enough she should audition for So You Think You Can Dance. Best dancer I have ever seen!

  • she is amazing...

  • she is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i cant get over her she is sooooooooooooooooo good!

  • to people commenting on the costume:

    in dance, at this high of a competitive level, this type of costume is very common, even for young girls. it shouldn't be inappropriate, and if it is, it's only because the viewer is interpreting it that way. dance is about the beauty of the body and what the dancer does with it...not about over-modesty and covering every body part.

  • amazing !

  • awesome little talented girl. costume.... a little too much

  • AMAZING i would love to meet this girl. but i agree with the top...it is a little to small, but i dont mind the belly showing

  • she has great technique, especially for someone so young!

  • wow.. that's just amazing..

    she's better than me, and i'm 14 and a dancer..lol.

    she's amazing,(:

  • VERY VERY VERY TALENTED!!!

  • wow 8 years old? incredible

  • who does she dance for? and y would he/she dress her in costumes like that? but her technique is amazing but those facial expressions are a little to much

  • ☺♥

  • My favorite part is 1:22

  • man she is good i guess anybody can dance like her! lolz

  • favorite dance ever

    favorite dance ever

    favorite dance ever!

    i love this girl, i'm doing my english project on her. she is 10 and i'm 13, and she's probably as good right now as i will ever be. tis amazing

  • good luck on your project ;)

  • thats my favorite competion and so is access broadway.

  • this is my lyricla song she is a great dancer

  • 1st off, I want to say how AMAZING you are at dancing. Your technique is unbeleivable! You have great control of your body! 2nd if you were a TRUE dancer, you wouldn't care what she wears, you would be paying more attention to the great technique and the amazing talent that she has. That is my oppinion at least. (: Great Job! <3

  • She is so amazing at 0:24 !!

  • woooow =)

  • shes good thats the point who cares what she wears!

  • she is sooo good!!!! how many dance solos do you do a year? best dancer ever!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • that was soooo rude, who do you think you are judging a young talented dancer? if you dont like watching videos about dance, dont watch them ! i bet you couldnt dance any better, like honestly grow up, that was so disrespectful,

  • wow :) shes really good!!!

  • Its amazing that girl is so talented

  • she is amazing!!!!!!!

  • i agree with everyone's praises of her..shes great. I do, however, have an issue with the costume choice...a little innapropriate

  • I agree! I'm a dancer, and I've never seen an eight year old wear a costume like that!

  • shes a born dancer.

  • this girl is amazing where does she dance

  • I can watch this over and over. Its absolutely stunning. I especially love the turns at 0:25.

  • same with me the turns at 0:25 are awesome

  • Shes amazing, shes born for dance wow!! Im impress

  • wow=S

  • it's not just that she dances older than she is, but she is able to perform likes she's a lot older, it's hard to believe she's eight! i mean that's like 2nd grade. she seems very mature for her age.

  • She is the most amazing dancer for this age!!!! I saw her jazz solo when she was 7 and i couldn't do half the stuff she did and this time she did a beautiful lyrical solo!!!! Good Job!!!!

  • age 8??! holy crap shes amazing!! shes going to go soo far.

  • go @manda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg this little girl is amazing im also a dancer but i am so amazed how good she is i also like her dance river deep!!!!!!!!!

  • Put it on full screen. LOOK. Its NOT.

  • That is NOT a leotard. Unless they made one that looks exactly her skintone, has a belly button, and moves exactly the way her skin does-- ITS NOT a leotard.

  • Shes Amazing For Her Age :D

  • She is an amazing dancer but her outfit is WAY too revealing for an 8 year old! Thats too revealing for ANY age! She's basically wearing underwear and a training bra!!!

  • Its a leotard

  • This is absoluty amazing!

    amanda you keep on dancing cause thats like what your best at :)

  • she is sooooooo good! I've seen some of her other solos and they are all amazing! does anyone know how old she is now?

    in this dance, i think her costume is a little too revealing.... still an great dance tho

  • She's turned 11 in March.

  • OMG this is amazing

  • amazing <3

  • wow what a difference a year makes

    her control has gotten better [believe it or not] from last years jazz solo

    awsome, i cant wait to see her solo this year.

  • This girl is only 8!! Crazy!

  • this girl has talent!

    i hope she will go ar and never give up!

  • beautiful, absolutely stunning.

  • you dont do a lyrical with jazz shoes on(: but other then that she was amazinggg!!!

  • Comment removed

  • AMAZING,

    but why is there no recent solos of her? if you have some could you please upload them ive been dying to see them.

  • not sure if you know already but vanessa posted a copy of her duet from this past year

  • SO Good u r ah-mazing! =]

  • Very good, although she's kinda a one-trick pony. There's only so many times you can watch her do pirouettes into a tilt, or spinning leg extensions. Seriously.

    All in all though, very well done.

  • This is done beautifully Amanda, it is really powerful and you danced it very very well.

    Great Job!!! :)

  • OMGOMGOMGOMG .

    eight years olddd , like get real :|

    she is stunning, marvelous, and beautiful

    no words can describe how amazing she issss .. great job amanda!

    keep succeeding! ♥ :)

  • has anyone seen her new solos?? I want someone to post thme

  • Wait... She has two lyrical solos that are age eight? How?

  • her birthday didn't come then.

  • Stunning. It's always a bit upsetting to see people who are half my age and can dance like that haha. As for the costume, she's not selling her body. The only people who are watching are people who are passionate about dance, so big deal if her stomach is exposed. Beautiful dancer, if she sticks with it she will be INCREDIBLE. I love the part around 1:50 after she walks. =]

  • She is a wonderful dancer. Performing like that at her age is incredible. My only question would be- is it necessary for 8 year olds to perform in uniforms that are closer to bikinis than dance clothes? Nothing negative towards the dancer, this is an issue that spreads throughout the dance culture. Think about what this portrays to young girls about self image and dance.

  • umm obviously KassiBooBoo, you cant dance because if you are a real dance you dont get bored with your passion and p.s. if she wants to go places she will, trust me, cos she has the talent and technique unlike you BIATCH !!!!!!!!!

  • the dancing is age appropriate to some eight year olds because obviously she is a mature dancer who can dance ahead of her age limits, i know because i started dancing like that when i was 7 or 8 aswell !! as for KassiBooBoo, you obviously dont know because she wont get bored, i could do that stuff at a young age aswell and i didnt get bored i just learnt to perfect it

  • She's a beautiful little thing... but the dancing isn't age appropriate. Her technique needs a lot of work. It's great she can do the tricks, but the in between steps show now technical control. If she takes more ballet classes, she will go far. She really is beautiful and has buckets of potential!!!

  • love it u r really good

  • This little girl is not only a talented dancer, she is an artist. Look past the tricks and amazing technical ability she undoubtedly owns - she actually 'dances' to the music. She is a gift to the human race, as are all great artist. Dance forever, little girl, dance, dance, dance.....

  • She is soooooo fantastic!!

  • Ya sure she is good but she isnt expirencing the dance world she is doing stuff that is very hard but when she is older she will be bored and go no where with dance! i am a dancer and trust me i know!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • its dance it doesnt matter, anyway ur not supposed 2 look there u supposed 2 look at the grace and beauty of the dance

  • umm.shes 8 and barely wearing a top...thats not right but ...

    thats a really good performance =]

  • yes i agree... she's a beautiful dancer, but i wouldn't allow my 8yr old to wear this costume... far to revealling

  • WOW she is amazing!

  • WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE...how she controls the extensions, turns, and the feeling of the music...200% BRAVO!!

  • Usually I don't enjoy young dancer's performances but that was pretty good. Like, amazing. Kids haven't experienced life enough or matured enough to emotionally connect to movements which is why every one says "technique is good, but needs to be more emotional".

  • she's amazing for only 8! are there any videos from any of her dances from this year??????

  • her turns are amazing!

  • she is better at jazz!

  • waaaaaaa this girl is amazing

  • omg this girl is almost as good as the best dancer at my studio and she is 14! lol

  • check out river deep her solo and see if she's till almost

  • wow... when I was 8, I was happy to hit a double piroutte, yet alone fouttes!

    I love how she's all emotional during the dance and then at the end, she gets up, smiles, and practically skips off stage... too cute!!!

    I loved it!!!

  • Holy freaking goodness she is AMAZING!

  • she rocks at danceing i wish i could do that

  • I like her lyrical the best :]

  • Listen, usually the judges want to see how the back flows with the moves and etc, so stop puting stupid comments like this because she is already amazing.

  • revealing herself is not what the judges want to see.......... and most of the ppl on here that keep yelling at the ppl who r saying anything to be decent r the ones who have never truly experienced dance in their lives so think about that.... she is good but u dont need to reveal yourself to win... and if the judge is actually any good .... well they can tell whats going on underneath the costume....

  • wow super amazing:)

    awesome technique for an 8 year old

    how many hours of ballet a week/day?

  • amazing dancer!

  • I love this girl, this dance, and the song. is the song on iTunes called Absence of Fear/This Little Bird by Jewel album: Spirit ? i just love it, and i am trying 2 find a lyrical solo song. please reply! I just love this little bundle of talent and joy!

  • this is beautiful! At my dance studio we have younger girls that dance but not this well!

  • The Ocampo girls are amazing and hugly inspirational! Congratulations on another wonderful routine!

  • theres only one...

  • I apologise I got confused with Devin Oshiro I thought her last name was Ocampo for some reason. Oops! Both Amanda and Devin are amazing and inspirational I apologise for my mistake.

  • anyone who has a negitive comment on this they have got to be crazy

  • wow amazing

  • wooooooooooooooooooooow

    amazing!

  • this little girl is amazing. maybe her coustume is a little showy but WHO CARES shes there to dance not to dress conserativly.

  • She's wearing tights.

  • AHHHH!!!! HOLYYY PAUSE AT 2:04

  • what studio is she from?

  • all i am seeing is turn combos, kicks, and some little moves repeated over and over. i dont think the choreography lives up to her ability at all

  • i love her, but disagree with the choreography.

    from :14 to :30 all she does is kicks with a turn combo. She deserves better.

    such good technique, flexibility, balance, and potential.

  • I agree that she is technical very good! But I miss the love and feeling some dancers put in their dance. If I had to choose between a very technical dance or a dace with emotion, I would go for the emotion! :) But what am I saying? the girl is only 8!! over 5 years she will be top!

  • so talanted for her age! amazing!

  • wow! how old is she?

  • in this video she is 8

  • whoah. i wish i'd had that kind of training when i was her age.

  • don't we all...

    but we can still be the best we can be now.

    blessings to her!

  • amen! good luck to her!!!

  • i wish i was as good as her. the way she connects her movements us amazing! your daughter is very talented, and in this video she is only 8! whoa! how old is she now?? does she still dance?

  • what studion does she go to

  • at the time of this solo she went to touch of class. now she goes to the element performing arts center

  • ur a amazing dancer :)

    like ur costume

  • wonderful.

  • hey amanda i thought u stoped danceing

  • Amanda left because for her and us as a family it was a decision that her Dad and I made. Her transition was very smooth as many of the girls at The Element had danced with her in the past. She dances the same amount of hours as she did last year. About 12 give or take.

  • so she just switched studios?

    i thought you meant she stopped dancing completely, that would have been horrible!

  • sooo she does not dance anymore???

  • the element, that's where alexic mcclure dances right?

  • why did she leave toc??

  • Let me say a few things. First and foremost, the costume.

    THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!!! Standard dance costumes. It would be worse if she were older. But shes not, so its no big deal.

    And to whoever said someone about her only being able to kick, turn, and leap- hate to break it to you but a large portion of dance is made up by those three things.

    And lastly, vanessa, shes still dancing, but not as much, yes?

  • Yeah and plus its about the dance not about her out fit

  • hi alyssa

  • REALLY good, outfit is a little revealing though?

  • You are amazingly talented! Keep dancing! I love your costume too!!! Great Job!!!!!!

  • She is an amazing dancer, I've watched most of her performances and lyrical is definitely one of her high points. And, a dance costume especially for the skill she has, should actually be as small as possible, so your costume doesnt get in the way.

  • im fourteen... and not that good yet haha

  • Me too :(

  • song ???

  • and as long as she is conformtable in the costume and choreography, there is nothing wrong with it

  • amazingggg control and beautiful lines. you are a truly talented girl, never give up, no matter what anyone says about you!

  • you are truely gifted. i dont think you should ever give up dancing. you have a talent that many young dancers dont have. being able to sustain your movements and everything is amazing. i wish i was gifted like you and im in my fourteenth year. keep it up. your amazing

  • oh my gosh she is so talented its unbelievable

  • Wow I have been reading all of these comments and I am sick of reading 'the costume is too revealing'. It's a costume! A dance costume! That's what dancers wear and it also allows the judges to see if her legs are pulled up and other things. It's no different from wearing a bikini to a swimming pool! She's not walking around in public, she is dancing on stage. She is such an amazing dancer, and her turns are just beautiful. She has amazing control. Great job! :)

  • She is amazing. I agree with Vanessa, some kids need more of a challenge and cant be held back just because of their age. Very talanted little girl.

  • she is so awesome! (: can't wait to see her on sytycd.

  • im a dancer and im not the best at turns and my leg goes Fairly hight. but thats not all that dance is about,

    i dance from my heart and my soul, and i think that when a lot of competition dancers dance its more about how high their leg goes or how many turns you do, like literally the whole entire beginning is her kicking her leg up.

    and im not trying to be mean or anything but still.

    but she is an amazing little dancer.

  • i agreee its not how good u r its about passion and soul and reachiong out for what you believe in.

  • i think shes unbelieveable! and for her costume i think its beautiful! i dance and my solo costume is exactly like that. and the costume has to match the dance and look good on stage. this costume definatly matches her dance. shes amazing

  • yes the costume does show a lot of her stomach, we all can admit that. but, its not neccisarily a bad costume for an 8/9 year old or a great costume. as long as she isnt doing any dirty moves and shes comfterble, its a fine costume

  • it doesnt matter what ur costume looks like..........when i first started dancing all i wore was a blue sports bra and just short shorts.......its also because they cool off

    like having a body covered costume..........u would sweat like crazy.......thats why..........GO AMANDA

  • It's amazing to see what she can do with choreography which is more emotional than her older stuff. This girl is going to be amazing.

  • lovely dancer very talented

    mum and dad at least cover her rib cage she is a child ? .not a paris show girl

  • yea... it doesn't matter what her costume is... because she is amazing i mean, some dancers are flexible but can't dance and some, vise versa... but even as off topic as that was, Amanda is AMAZING

  • Can I just make a very valid point? To all of you who think that this danceor costume were too mature, they were not. Amanda's Dad and I both loved this dance choreography, the song & the costume ALMOST as much as Amanda did. I hope someone out there might be intelligent enough regarding dance 2 know that certain children can NOT be held back & need more of a challenge. Amanda was 8/9 for the dance season above & she had to have her choreography 4 the 8 and unders & strong enough for Jrs 2

  • if you guys were dancers you would know that no chorographer would never make someone wear what they dont wanta. i bet she liked that costume so you dont know what ur talkin bout

  • u just hatin because you cnt dance for shit and an 8 yr old showed you up papermate

  • Papermate101joy, your just jelous

  • what studio does she dance for and where is it. she is amazing.

  • is she from the u.s?

  • does anyone know what she got in it. like at comp what did she get gold, highgold..ect.

  • hey bean!!!!!!!i want to know too!!!

    jaywii

  • It was starbound, she got High Gold, 1st overall.

  • was high gold the hishest mark you could get?? and what country is she from??

  • you know a dance is AMAZING when you barley notice the music, you are only focusing on the dancer. I've only seen one other dance that is powerful. the only thing i have to say is that costume is a little to risque for an 8 year old. but that doesn't matter too much, as long as she's comfterable. (i cant spell)

  • shes absolutley beautiful

  • wow. im stunned at how amazing this girl is, she had great techneique, i remember at age 8 i wasnt anywhere close to as amazing as that! Shes an inspiration! Congrats. keep dancing. ♥

  • U should go on Americas Got Talent!!! CAUSE you obviously hav a talent at dancing

  • shes awesome!

    lyrical is definetly her thing

    shes so graceful
