Wow, I'm a bogan (redneck) from Oz who stumbled upon this video. Have never before been close to understanding dance as art. Never got it. That has changed me.
Billy Bell you are a genius....my dream right now is being able to watch you on 30th of december in New York but unfortunately for an albanian girl living in Italy that's quite impossible..... Please come to Italy with your Lunge Dance Company....pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
one word to describe this dance and dancer -insane- who ever doesn't like this video must have been watching something completely different as this is completely insane in the best way possible...wow <3
Billy Bell is an extraordinary dancer and I loved him on SYTYCD but felt some of the chorographers let him down by not utilizing his abilites enough. Some did, but a couple of other ones really blew a great opportunity in working with him.
@tweeterpie1 I think Billy is amazing, but his weakness was partnering. Actually, I should specify partnering with girls. He was amazing with Ade. I think he is genius, but SYTYCD was not the platform for him.
I so admire you, you're one of the dancers that has inspired me to continue dancing, you're just wonderful and I hope you keep documenting your dances and choreography because you're just pure inspiration for dancers all over the world.
this looks like an improv because of some walking and freeze in some movement but his movements are very engaging. he makes you want to watch more and go with him in this entire piece. looks very simple but really very hard to do. very nice piece
I've been involved with dancing for thirty (30) years, and first time I saw what this guy could cram as far as character development and storyline into SYTYCD's precious 120 seconds I knew he was not only a technically proficient classically-trained dancer, but also a major creator. Finally someone who has the physical ability of a world-class interpreter and the mind of a choreographer/storyteller.
@GirlFromIL2 I ditto this-lol. I wish I could buy a video of the whole May show. I know selling video is probably hard because of music rights but that doesn't change my wishes.
That was one of the best pieces of dance I've ever seen. I'm sorry that this talent did not come across on the show. I see you in a different light now. Wow! Amazing.
when it comes to sytycd, it's a shame that so many people are focused on how cute someone is or how many flips and tricks they can do. billy is more than that, he'll make it farther than ANY of the dancers here and this dance is pure beauty all of his dancing is. all his dances are so beyond people his age, and he's truly an artist.
Billy, this performance reaches into my very soul and tugs at those places buried deep within. You are truly gifted. I miss watching you dance weekly. Of all the dancers on SYTYCD, you were the one who allowed me to move through them. I am in a wheelchair and, though I can walk a bit, I cannot dance. Thank you, my dear boy, for giving my worn out body wings to fly. Blessings to you. Sally
We often throw around the word brilliance like any other, forgetting what it truly means. You represent the essence of true brilliance without a doubt. Inspiring and captivating.
Wow- Billy, this is absolutely breathtaking. in my opinion, your best dancing. this piece was so moving and one of the most beautiful dances I've ever seen. the choreography, the mix of the music, the actual dancing was amazing. it so easily expresses the fear of being in a plane. you should be so proud of this- thankyou. :)
OMG. The emotion. The dancing. The artistry. The sheer HUMANITY of it. Thank you for knowing who you are, Billy, and thank you for the gift that is you!
I've watched it through so many times now, but I don't even think I'm truly getting many of the small, but so important and profound details of your movements... This piece is beautiful. Your interpretation is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I was sitting in the sixth row watching this and could not believe what I was seeing. If I recall correctly, this piece wasn't listed in the program. We came out of intermission and he performed this. What he does at 4:00 in just made my heart leap into my throat. My hands went to my mouth in awe. His interpretations are inspiration and entirely, entirely human, to the very core.
i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you
You are the most brilliant dancer I have ever seen. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your gift with us. I can't wait until I go to the SYTYCD tour and see your perfection in person.
Billy...your talent is just beyond comprehension! I enjoyed every second you had on SYTYCD! How anyone could not understand why you didn't put your body at risk when you were hurt is beyond me! Thank you for being you!
Wow. I thought I had a fever because it's 80 degrees outside but I had nothing but chills for 6 minutes. Brilliant. This is why you are one of my favorite, if not, my favorite dancer. :)
We understand your brilliance, Billy. Some may not understand the beauty and vulnerability you bring to the stage, but it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you for being that selfless passenger, boarding the stage everyday with no regrets.
Bless this truth. Bless it.

He performed this piece before he worked with Mia Michaels.
