  • This is still one of my favorites !

  • @daddyslastgirl Mine too!!:)

    

  • That was so boring!!! We get it she is super flexible! Which is great but common really dance.

  • Comment removed

  • @balletandtap1 Kelsie Hendrix is one of the best dancers that I've ever seen and I'm proud to go to the same dance studio as someone as talented as her. And is abviously wasn't boring if she won 1st overall.

  • @MissDEdancer9199 I didn't say she was a bad dancer. I just really didn't like the choreography. I think she could do much better. If there were more turns and leap. And less tricks showing flexibilty.

  • And how does the semi-ethnic outfit correlate with this piece?

  • We get it she's flexible, don't get me wrong she's an amazing dancer and some parts are really beautiful but there's something about that choreography...

  • probably one of my favorite dances of ALL time!

  • YOUR LEGS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! GOOD GIRL, VERY GOOD DANCER!!! LOVE YOU LITTLE STAR!!!!!!!! :)

  • Wow. This is the first time seeing this young lady dance. She is very talented. Her poise, balance, and stage presence are remarkable! The choreography needs improvement, but, she does make it work. I do believe she has a bright future in dance. It is obvious she loves it, and works very hard. Only good things can come from that.

  • I feel like she is very flexible and skilled, but the choreography doesn't quite fit the music... Anybody else see that??? But very talented

  • how can a little girl like this dance to such an emotional song!

  • she needs to grow up tho, her head looks too big for her body...but really talented dancer!!

  • very talented!

  • is this dance about anorexia?

  • She looks so young, and this song is just so mature...

  • way better then me and I am 15

  • I mean really people she was 10 doing choreography like that and who knows how much she practices...dancers are skinny cause of all the hard work

  • Another kid dancing to music that she doesn't even begin to understand.

  • she needs some meat on her bones

  • she dances awesome!!! she's too skinny=(

  • @ivette2999 You should check out her newer videos. She has grown up and filled out. She was 10 and tiny here.

  • @ivette2999 SKINNY.... trust me, it looks better in dance

  • really good,just don't run with your shoulders up. :)

  • Feed her!!!

  • amazing! love the costume

  • If she's first place, I don't even want to see the other girls that participated in this contest. The costume isn't appropriate for a girl her age, she's not even dancing (I don't know what it is, but it's not even modern dancing) and she's running as if she's in a race, not on stage. Go check out Katia Almayeva dancing the Esmerelda variation. Now that little girl knows what she's doing! She doesn't have the full character down yet, but she's definitely more into it than this girl.

  • @danceizmyworld Excuse me? Not appropriate?  This is competition dance! Nearly all costumes for competitions in the past 10 years are 2 pieces. Her costume is beautiful. She's very young and EXTREMELY talented. And you know what you are? EXTREMELY JEALOUS! She's most definitely into this emotionally, and the running fits well with the song. How dare you say something so negative about her! She is so fabulous! GO KELSIE!!!!

  • @dancesoccerstar And why would I be jealous? I'm dancing classical ballet variations, which are MUCH more complex than this dance.

  • @danceizmyworld Look, I'm not here to get in a fight, because Kelsie is only 9 or 10 here! She's very young, has great flexibilty, stage presence, etc. If you don't like the choreography, then state so. But don't trash Kelsie!! Thank you.

  • @dancesoccerstar Well, I'm VERY against competitive studios. I don't believe they teach the correct technique or concentrate on anything other than flexibility. The only exception for a competition is the Youth American Grand Prix, which involves students from professional ballet schools dancing variations they work on during rehearsal time rather than class time. I think Kelsie could do much better in a professional studio and that's where I think she needs to be to get a career in dance.

  • she's amazing!

    

  • My bad never mind that's courage also by super chick but still

  • Ok um people most of u haven't done ur research I've met 8 yr old girls w/ eating disorders as I myself have experienced it, I would give anything to look like her, but isn't it ironic that she's dancing to a song about anorexia?!

  • @claire101101101 that´s right, some people can eat what they want and they won´t be fat :) but it´s not beautiful if they want to be skinny like her ...

    it´s okay to be skinny but not too much, where you can see her bones everywhere and for example models are sometimes too skinny, some eat nothing :( and there they could get a virus or disease -.- (:

  • this is not real dancing.

    dancing comes from the heart not from your pirouettes or your flexibility.

    This is more like gymnastics!

  • she is really good and she doesnt have an eating dissorder... i am a 14 year old dancer and runner and softball player and i am olny 89 pounds and i eat like 6 meals a day just to keep my energy and i can lift my wieght!!!!!!!!!!!

  • okay, so tell me why its okay to call a skinny person ugly and not beautiful, but its not okay to call a fat person ugly? It hurts on both sides.

  • Its really hard not to be skinny when your extremely active....when i was 12 I danced and played soccer....I was a freaking twig, and ate 5 meals a day just to keep up my energy....but I was healthy. Skinny isn't a bad thing when it is natural, this girl has serious muscles too...if she had an eating disorder she wouldn't have muscles like that. She's extremely tallented, and the condition of her body shows how hard she works.

  • She is such a good dancer! Yeah people, dancing like this would require keeping a lot of food in your body to perform. When you dance like this year round your bound to not be very thick because you burn off the body weight from dancing, but trust me she probably eats a lot just because dancing would burn off the food easily causing hunger. She doesn't have an eating disorder i bet.

  • her developpe in a la seconde was incredible. im... well im not very old either, im 12 but iv been struggling to get my a la seconde higher. wats up with the bikini costume thing tho? kinda odd. or i wish it was odd. to many small children are wearing those things for performances lately.

  • if i was as skinny as her, I'd be happy...cuz i can eat eat eat!!!! =D

  • I am a 13 year old dancer and weigh 78 pounds and she looks about tenn for a dancer but she looks skinnyer than me when i was that age and i understand why people think she has a eating disorder my own dctor thought i did but i rele didn't its just her metabilism and how much dancing she does...ther is nothing wrong with that

  • Look at those muscles!!

  • oh no she´s very skinny! that´s not beautiful :(

  • @teenielila why not? im that skinny. it hurts when people call you annorexic or too skinny. it really does. i would give anything to be fatter i eat so much. people star at you and automatically thing you have a dissorder it isnt fun. yes shes skinny. so are millions of other people whats wrond with being skinny.

  • how old is she? she looks like shes 9 or something but thats probably because shes skinny

  • PEOPLE CAN BE SKINNY , were not all fat and it can be natural !!!

  • Is it hard to do the bit at 0.46? Because I can do it really easily and everyone was like 'eughhh!'

    ?!

  • her center is insane!

  • that would stink to go after her. shes amazing!

  • mmmmmm really thin. good dancing tho.

  • She's beautiful but needs to go eat some cake (:

  • She is a beautiful dancer!

    And so skinny: she's so lucky. :/

  • a lot of dancers are skinny. If she was obese she would get even worse feedback.

  • u need to get her out of competition and into real dancing! she has very good turn out and would be an excelent ballet dancer. competiotion dance wont get you any where in life, competition dancing is a joke. do us all a favor and take her to a good ballet school

  • I think she is amazing!!! I dance ballet and when I see girls like her dancer modern I feel like doing it myself! ♥

  • she looks thin to me

  • woaah 10 and dances THAT good? that is amazing great video.

  • just something not so intense. Also, I felt like she was in an extensions/flexibility/contort­ion competition. Besides the constant rolling around, and a couple jumps, I didn't see other forms of technique or more importantly, artistry! And this is not her fault of course, but I think with her gift to dance that is clear, she is capable of more than splits and touching her foot to her head! I hope none of this is offensive, she is very good, and I hope she continues to dance. Just observation!

  • This young girl clearly has talent, potential, and good training. However, as a dance teacher myself, and just through life experiences within dancing and the rest of my life, I feel this song is WAY too mature for her. What I mean by that, is the lyrics and meaning are too deep. She is unable to show emotion or really "dance" in this piece because she probably has no clue what the music means. A 10 year old should be dancing to something much lighter. I'm not saying Miley Cyrus all the way,

  • She's beautiful.

  • Feed her!

  • WOW!!!!

  • haha funny that this is a song about anorexia

  • I love ballet!

  • @sailorchibimoon1665 its not ballet but so do i :)

  • She is SO good! I have watched so many of her videos and I am amazed with each and every one!

  • Wow, she is really good!!! That's a talented girl!!! ...and yes, she is very skinny, but as said above, a lot of young girls are. I've had anorexia nervosa AND bulimi myself. But the song to this performance is often used by those who is pro ana, and then it feels even more like this little girl is sick. I'm glad to hear that she is healthy and eats a lot. She is too good to waste her life with eating disorders!!! =)

  • Linda demais .. parabéns!

  • mi fa paura ......

  • You're amezing, the only thing you have to improve is to hold your shoulders low!

  • you know anorexia is bad!!!!

  • her ribs are barly showing she is fine!

  • She look's like a little fairy.x

  • LOVE the song LOVE the dance need a better costume

  • I looked exactly that skinny when I was 10 but shorter and now im 14 and i've grown big its not her fault and its not her moms either so just shut up and dont comment if you dont have anything nice to say! Good job this is beautiful I wish I was this good :( im getting better tho :)

  • This is the first time I really got touched by a dance. The emotion of her dance fits perfectly to the lyrics. Kelsie, you are wonderful! And I admire you for the fact that you can tell a story with your body in this way.

    ( I'm sorry if my English is bad, I'm a Dutch girl;) )

  • she;s good .. she have talent... i love her... don't worry everybody... she's not skinny or not healty.... she's normal for other ballerina and looks very professional...

    do not think about other fat or chabby kids... this girl 's ballerina ..she have to good shape like thins... and she have big power energe...

  • People are not supposed to stretch out like that.

  • She is so good! She has so much flexibility and control! Her lines are so pretty! She should try to relax her shoulders when she is turning and her arms are in fifth, but other than that it was perfect! She definitely deserved the first place overall. She is going to go so far in dance!

  • she's NOT anorexic, if she was she wouldn't have the energy to dance so well. She's a little girl, it's perfectly normal for her to be tiny

  • She's a beautiful dancer, but its pretty disturbing how skinny she is...

  • shes amazing, but she kinda has very broad shoulders and she is really skinny... but other then that she is awesome =)

  • Yes, she is skinny, but it's not her fault if she were born tiny. She is the best 10 year old dancer I've ever seen. And if she is dancing all the time, she must be pretty fit. In my opinion, she is a beautiful, talented,dedicated girl, and obviously loves to dance. I hope she is famous one day, because she is great! Awesome job, girl! P. S. I <3 dancing, too, but I'm not NEARLY as great as you!

  • it's such a shame that everyone is picking on her because she is so skinny! She's a beautiful dancer. Im too skinny also and I'm not as skinny and her and i get made fun of a lot for it... im not anorexic or bulemic either. Before you guys start saying mean stuff about this beautiful, talented girl... learn more about her and her family backround!! Keep dancing, kelsey!! You'll go far!!

  • hey guys...I was that tiny when I was her age

    Im 16 now and I KNOW for sure shes going to be fine.

    so leave her alone

    shes a very beautiful young lady and she dances just as beautifully

  • everybody is commenting about this little girl's weight, but i understand that its because they are only concerned. some people are just born with a high metabolism. anyways she is a VERY talented young dancer! :)

  • beurk elle est toute maigre !!!

  • Gorgeous talent!!!!

    Btw, I would be astonished if a child with this much strength was anorexic. Those suffering from eating disorders as severe as the ones being described are simply not capable of activity as strenuous as this dance.

    Bravo Kelsie!!! You are on your way to becoming an incredible dancer!

  • She's obviously not anorexic! I have a lot of friends who are competitive dancers and they're super skinny since they spend so much time in the studio dancing XD

  • guys.. I saw a couple of her newer videos, she's not this skinny anymore!

  • I agree she is too skinny but beautiful dance but i feel her pain im 40 pounds underweight so i know how she feels. Some dancers work just so hard they are too thin but they are healthy.

  • This was just, wow! 10 and can dance like that?! She must go to a very great school. Im a dancer too, but im not NEAR as good as she is! Shes so pretty. Hopefully one day i can dance like this, This is just, Incredible!!!

  • beautiful!

  • amazing

  • she's an amazing dancer but she does look a bit sick and her looking like that gives the song way much more meaning

  • people need to calm down. im a dancer as well, although im am to short and stalky to be a dancer, most dancers and especially ones in ballet companies are very very thin. but if you think about it they are very healthy by how much they work out and eat healthy. nothing is wrong with being skinny, but muscular. skinniness and muscles in dance come in handy.

  • @sydsterrandthebearr I'm also A dancer, And i agree with you 100% Kelsie does look very muscular in this video. And I'm sure she is 100% healthy, Shes a dancer! She burns off most of what she eats! I do. I hate how people see if someone is skinny, they go straight to "Are you anerexic?" No, im a dancer. Kelsie, keep up the hard work! She is gonna go far in dancing, in the future.

  • Comment removed

  • she dances really beautifully! and most 10 year old dancers are that skinny and skinnier even! so all the haters back the heck off! she is gorgeous and i know that she can become an UNBELIEVABLE dancer through the years :)

  • she is sooo tiny ! but wow she is a amazing dancer .

  • Wow.... She is an amazing dancer! You can see that she puts such emotion into each movement!

  • She was amazing!

  • she is way to skinny! that doesnt look heathy at all..

  • she is a-m-a-z-i-n-g

  • she looks like she is anorexic!! but yea.. its a really pretty dance!

  • For all the people who don't know, dancing requires a lot of energy, a lot of strength, and a lot of food for fuel. Trust me, if this girl can dance as amazingly as she does, there is no way that she has an eating disorder. Her body simply wouldn't be able to handle starving itself like that, in effect, she couldn't dance like this. Dancers of her caliber are thin because of what they do. I guarantee you, she eats more than you and I. No offense to anyone. Beautiful dancing.

  • @7up7down289

    This girl okay I don't believe she has an eating disorder, but what is to be said about women like Heidi Guenther? Energy for days and she died a tragic death due to anorexia. Many dancers, especially from the past, suffer from eating disorders and they are the great dancers we read about in books and aspire to become. Just because someone suffers from an eating disorder does not mean that they cannot dance.

  • Oh my! That was absolutely incredible! :D :D

  • gave me goosebumps. amazingly danced for 10.

  • Omg people you can clearly see she is a tall girl... I think she is beautiful good job mama.

  • preaty what song?

  • shes really good but soo skinny it looks like she is about to break

  • you need to feed her...shes too skinny...shes going to brake like a twig with all these twarls and flips

  • WOW!!!! Such emotion!!!!!!

  • She's only ten in the video?? Wooooaaahhh!! Shes amazing, you have a very talented daughter. Such musicality(if you get what I mean)!! I wouldn't say she was aneroexic though, just petite. If you look you can't see her bones poking through at her joints or anything. She's really good. I hope she keeps dancing :)

  • thts like unhealthy weight right here

  • i hate when people say others are to skinny. the people who say that must be overly obese who sit at their computers all day critisizing others to feel better about themsleves. she is skinny, but how is that bad? she is beautiful, and an amazing dancer. just be yourself, and dont change for other people. your gorgeous, and you never need to change. you are strong and fit, and thats perfect.

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow i am doing the same song for a dance solo at the end of july and my dance is NOT as good as hers ,, my friends say they are jelous of my dance BUT i think she was amazing :)

  • Stunning, i could not take my eyes off her you should be sooo proud of your daughters amazing talent, and this young aswell! how old is she now? i hope she is still dancing, and for all teh people saying she looks anorexic, she is only ten the only reason people are saying she looks unhealthy is she looks quite tall for her age and therefore appears older, this is a perfectly healthy look for a ten year old especially a dancing ten year old, a beautiful dancer :)

  • sooo talented!

  • @sharesaz Your daughter is going to be an amazing dancer when she grows up.

  • she looks just like a sceleton

  • I still love this dance :)

    I wish people would focus on the dance. Even the comments defending her.

    Just comment on the dance people!

    Great job Kelsie!

  • at :42 what is that called and how do you do it?

    same questions for 1:18

  • Comment removed

  • im sure as a mother you would no what is best for you daughter she is an amazing dancer yes she is very tiny but her body seems to be fine with it as she is a dancer and has great muscle you should be proud of her she is very beautiful

  • man i WISH i could dance like that

    and GEEZE people back off! i know a bunch of 10 year olds that are that thin!

    she probably just eats right and excercises, something that's pretty rare in the USA nowadays. so don't rip on a lean girl just cause you're fat.

  • i am sure she's healthly guys i mean some people are just skinny like that i am 13 and one of of my friends who is in the same grade and the same age as me is really skinny like this and she is healthly so please stop with the comments about this girl having a eating disorder

  • kelsie is an amazing dancer. and lots of dancers her age are skinny, she is not anorexic. sometimes the stage lights hit at different angles and it creates shadows. trust me, if she was anorexic, she wouldn't have the strength to dance. she's flawless [:

  • AMAZING! and she is not too skinny she is normal!!! so stop saying she is anorexic!

  • I absolutely LOVE this dance!!! Wow!!

  • People who say she has an eating disorder need to shut up. Its perfectly normal for a ten year old who dances as much as she does to be that thin. And there is no way she could have the energy to do this routine if she was anorexic!!!! Kelsie is absolutly amazing<3

  • Girls this skinny in dance is sooo normal. I looked like that till I was a freaking freshman! Other wise I love the dance and the songg :D

  • this was a beautiful dance :)

  • this is beautiful!!! dont listen to anything anybody says about how skinny you are just dance and have fun!! there probably just jealuos that your better then them.

  • Wow! She is just stunning! :) How old is she here?

  • @dancecat3 Thank you! She was 10.

  • wow... she either needs more meat on her bones or to gain lots of muscle

  • @idance4life17 She was only 10 here. She has put on lots more muscle and eats like a pig! Thanks for your concern.

  • wow ! shes amazing .

  • @xojulia13 Thank you!

  • NICE!! CHOREOGRAPHY!

  • This song is beautiful and you are an amazing dancer !!!!!!

  • @MrsSaddleSitter Really? 100% sure? Do you know my daughter?!!!! She has never been anorexic. My gosh, she was 10 years old here. Lots of 10 year olds are tiny. She was born tiny. She has always eaten plenty of food and now at 14 I can barely afford to feed her with as much as she eats. Please don't attack my daughter for something you know nothing about!!!

  • @sharesaz im alot like her as well, I was fit, not anorexic, also ate (and still eat alot) but when you are dancing everyday it gets burnt off. Beautiful.

  • @sharesaz i don't think anyone is attacking her she is a very beautiful dancer . she just appears to be very skinny in the video thats all . i was like that when i was younger . sometimes it just takes more time for more people to fill out their body mass thats all.

  • @sharesaz wow how could someone call a child anorexic? this child is frikin amazing!! i would love to see how good she dances now!

  • @MrsSaddleSitter Yeah, Kelsie is like 14 now! She's definitely not suffering from an eating disorder! Check out her other videos before making your assumptions.

  • she is to skinny .. she look's like she is sick or something

  • @EDSGIRL021 Nope. She is very healthy.

  • @EDSGIRL021 and whatt are you gonna do feed herr??? soo keep your nasty comment to yourselff.,

  • @EDSGIRL021 I totally agree with you. She looks kind of anorexic.

  • @EDSGIRL021 its called being in shape...

  • I was at that comptiton with y hip hop group

    We did strut by the cheeta girls

  • she is too skinny and you can tell shes not really a natural at it.

  • Are you sure shes healthy! I mean people says a camera packs on about 10 pounds but it looks like shes just loosing the 10! I Really hope your telling the truth shes healthy because this beautiful young girl is very skinny, but the choreography is amazing for her age!

  • @Dellwina I'm a dancer, and I'm skinny. Dancers spend most of their time in studios. And dancers burn off most of what they eat, and are mostly built of Muscle. I'm all muscular, and so is Kelsie in this video. I think her mom would tell the truth! Kelsie keep up the good work!

    ~ClawsonDancer1

  • good but....... skinny

  • horrible choreo actually! wow watch my leg , trick trick trick .. NOOO! thats not what dance is .. where is her emotion .. ill tell you where it is .. missing .. song is way to mature for this girl

  • beautiful job! my daughter is 8, and minus the incredible muscle definition this girl has obviously earned through much hard work, looks much the same despite a very full and healthy diet. lucky little girls! she dances beautifully. congratulations on her win ;)

  • I Think her muscles make her look skinny because they're visable but if she were ill she wouldnt be able to dance this well, good job kelsie :) x

  • shes an exceptional dancer!! her face and skin look healthy but she is very skinny..... its probably just her age and her metabolism..... great job!!

  • Amazing floor work! The costume shows how skinny she is, which doesn't mean she's sick. I was that skinny when i was dancing at her age, it's what most of the dancers look like, and they're not anorexic at all. I think a simple leo with a skirt would have covered how much her hips jut out.

    Small tip: when she's running at 1:38 her arms are flapping around. She's probably controlled that by now, i hope.

  • anorexic... good but just ya know....

  • how old is she ?

  • i love this. i watch it all the time. she's so good. there's something about her performance that is so hypnotising...it's like you have to watch to see what she's going to do next. the emotion and timing of the moves make it so beautiful. ♥

  • Very talented young lady but as a dance teacher that has dealt with eating disorders. I think there should be some concerns.
