As I watch several of her videos, I can't help but make this comment. Absolutely amazing dancer, but her performances have ONE flaw - her choreographer. In isolation, her dances are amazing, but when taken as a whole, it becomes obvious that her choreographer is repeating the same moves over and over and over again. This shows a lack of originality. I hate to say it, but she is being held back. She has SO much potential!!!
@TaPetiteSoeur please never say a word against billy larsons choreography. he is one of the most amazing contemporary choreographers alive. you pointed out that the same moves were used "over and over and over again." cant you see that the repetition is intentional? not every dance is made to showcase a singular dancer's talents. its about the overall imagery when looking at all the dancers as a whole.
@MsCheviousxoxo Please refer back to my original comment...I'm not talking about this dance in isolation. Repetition within a dance to show some sort of imagery is fine and can be done quite well. I'm talking about several dances. As I was watching several different videos posted by this user, I noticed that although the dances were different, the moves were largely the same. If contemporary is about feeling the music, then it appears to me that Billy is feeling the same thing in every song.
@TaPetiteSoeur haha youre just an expert on everything, aren't you? you know so much about dance AND apparently about 12 year old children. careful! pedophilia is frowned upon in this society!
Hey guys in from a small dance group Dance Strarz Academy. Make sure to check out Starr Vega-Rain she is from our dance studio and is one of the best dancers you will ever watch
It was O.K honestly they did change the choreography since the first time they did it. Umm at some points it looked like they were having short spasms soo yeah. I don't think the choreography really lived up to the song. It's about a girl being abused by her boyfriend not whatever they were trying to explain in this dance. Remember girls your dance movement should tell a story Other than that it was PERFECT!
this literally gave me the goosebumps. and i like how in sync EVERYONE is especially during the 'wisper" section of the song. omg. idk wat to say. this had to win first right? i mean i didnt see ne turns in this but w/e this was a DANCE and thats wat made it so good!
You DEFINITELY need to try out for SYTYCD!! You're such an amazing dancer. No matter how many times I watch these videos I am STILL amazed by your talents. WOW!
Alicia is by far, my favorite dancer. and my biggest inspiration. I don't know how she does it but she is going places and I hope she knows that. I work even harder in the studio after seeing her performances.
did she try out for season 6 of so you think you can dance?
You have no idea how good it makes me feel when someone tells me that I am their inspiration and that I make them work even harder. Thanks for taking the time to say that. I'll be giving SYTYCD a try next year. I'm still 17 and you must be 18. I appreciate your interest. :-)
Uhhhhh wow. The way Alicia interprets movement is absolutely incredible. Not only does she have good technique, but she embodies any piece of music she dances to with such fullness. I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
this particular competition puts microphones on the actual stage floor so you can hear tappers, in particular. so that, plus the amazing energy these dancers put into their movement, magnifies the sounds from the floor.
that was amazing, i loved the entire dance. the end was amazing, the competition team at my studio is doing something along the same lines as the end of this dance as an insert for our showcase
the ending just gives me goosebumps
