  • Michaela Linderman, you are an amazing dancer! :) i love your moves! keep it up! :::)

  • This song is almost lover:)

  • what song is this???

  • which song is this one? she is amazing!

  • wooooi.... from 1:45 - 1:55........ SO COOL!

  • check out my dance video!

  • All I gotta say is 1:28-2:00

  • Beautiful!!!

  • She's powerful but not graceful. There's something missing. Like she's good but, not breath taking. She has great turns but there's still some struggle it looks like.

  • THIS IS MY COACHHHHHHH! :DDDDDDD

    I love her <333333

  • stfu audience. so annnoying omg like yeah youre cheering them on and but its annoying and disrespectful at the same time

  • crazy good(:

    

  • Nice movement, went great with the song, a few technique flaws (Pointing, stumbling out of turns), and I would have loved to see some more facials in this piece. But you are a great dancer, keep dancing! :)

  • wow at 1:40 and 1:54

  • She moves beautifully but I think she should go back to some basics

    -Balance training

    -point your foot.

    Other than that I can really tell she has a passion for dancing, which makes her great!

    Not being rude- just critiqueing!

  • that was amazing you are amazing! =)

  • gah! people in the audience need to shut up

  • @MelissaMees Totally agree. would've been so much better

  • That was great

  • Your emotion, and the way you flowed through all your moves insted of stoping after every one made this dance AMAZING! Good job!

  • Wow! That's really good!

  • That was amazing!

  • amazing loveee it

  • Amazing!! :D

  • woah!! Girl your amazing! Some of those moves are incredible! Keep it up!! You may be inspired by others but there are others inspired by you! Well done! :)

  • she is way good!!! i want to be as good as her!!

  • I'd love to be able to dance like this, but I start dancing in the fall at age 14 wheras you have been doing it for years already. Is it too late?

  • @AVintageTypeOfMoment its not too late if you want it! continue to train a lot:)

  • This girl can dance :) Ive been dancing for 10 years and this girl is amazing!

  • She is very talented! Very good job

  • @GeMiNi1197, i guess i see what you mean lol . but i think only the dancer knows how they feel. thats just my perspective i guess . everyone has their own . both ways , i think shes very talented lol

  • Dance is about showing off , showing off what you can do with yourself and showing off how you feel lol , i've danced for 14 years and this girl right here , she can dance . excellent .

  • @letsdestr0ymankind

    No one's denying she's a great dancer. She is.

    Showing off how she felt however, she is not.

    If you watch the dance, if you look at her expression, there is no feeling there. A lot of people can be trained to be great dancers, but it's not until you can actually show emotion and for it to be real, not forced, that you will become a GREAT dancer. you know?

  • omg that was amazing i am soo jelous i wish i was as phenomenal as her but i'm working on it haha 

  • You're amazing ! You're technique is flawless ! Great Job (:

  • I have been dancing for 10 years and your technique was very good!! the only thing I really saw that you should work on is pointing and not sickiling your foot on your turns but other than that it was very good(: keep it up

  • This is the mos amazng lyrical dancer I've ever seen! What dance place do you go to? It anybody knows PLEASE contact me! Also how many years have you been training? Id LOVE to be as amazng as you are! Your the eason I want to dance:)

  • omg your illusion is spectacular... ive been working so hard on those

  • what song is this?

  • @purplepoisonETF Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy

  • you were really good awsome actually but there more technique than actual choreography and there alot of tilst and legrabs and scales there should just be more choreography

  • this isn't a bad dance, but its not good. You had absolutely no emotion and for lyrical, that is what makes it good. All you can do is kick and turn but you should work on jumps! My opinion.......

  • @jujulia231 i agreee completely !

  • you're crazy flexible and have great technique, but i didn't feel you in the song. listen to the lyrics and music and incorperate that into how you move

  • been in love with this for the last 3 years, nothing! tops it<3

  • WOW! awesome

    

  • You travel on your fouettes, but other than that you have some skill. Focus on emotion. 

  • I agree with Pervosienesi. You have amazing pirouettes, fouettes, and extensions, however that can only take you so far. I was excited to see a dance to this but I did feel the choreography was comprised mostly of technical tricks rather than emotion. it lacked the soul I was looking for. The fouettes at the end were out of place and didn't seem 'right' in the music. To me, if twas just choreography to music. I was impressed by your technique as a dancer, but as an artist- I was unimpressed.

  • You are truly amazing.I couldn't see a thing I would want to change.When I grow up,I want to be just like you!Your dancing is the best I've ever witnessed im my 11 years of life lol =D

    It takes someone to dance.But it takes DETERMINATION,to dance like THAT.

    Absolutely wonderful.

  • Omg u have to try out for so you think you can dance :)

  • I hope those people critiquing actually HAVE danced before, because yes, there was tricks, but there was also dance.

  • oh my.. this was beautiful!! michaela's must have something in common =D my name is michaela as well and i've been dancing since i was three.. thank you for your contribution i enjoyed it a lot my favorite move was at 1:35 loved this!! thanks!

  • Oh never mind, saw the info in the top right hand corner. Thanks.

  • Who sings this song? I love it!

  • 1:43 was amazing.

  • really good technique, stong legs, but you don't have any flow and the most important no grace at all... the most beautiful dancers are the ones that you see them and you think they're flying. you're "stuck to the ground".. Focus on this! (my opinion though!)

  • I absolutely love Michaela! girl, I miss you and cant wait to see you again :)

  • You're a really beautiful dancer. You have such goo technique , but you gotta work actually dancing then just spins and tricks. I dance too. And i'm sure you'll go far as well as i did. :)

  • But I do agree with the comments below

  • Damn. That was beautiful

  • startig from the beginning u captured my eye!

  • your good but your dance was just too stiff, not enough flow, and you were thinking far too much. I didn't really enjoy watching the dance itself because it was more about showing off rather then just dance. Dance is an art form, you have to remember that, put love into it and you'll have a beautiful masterpiece. :)

  • You did dance well, but your dance was kind of plain. Sure there was some great and crisp technical movement, but thats not what makes dance great. You need more emotion in every step. The dance really needs to mean something to you, more then the music; your dance needs to have purpose and those emotions should be conveyed to the audience. It should have a type of "flow," where your energy envelopes us. Otherwise, it's good work

  • i really liked this. :D

  • @lopez1kool

    yes,she is dancing.it is called lyrical.my dance school instructs it.and she is an amazing LYRICAL dancer.

  • b e a u t y.

  • oh yes I was gonna say..

    drill team .is in fact...the junk food of dance.

    but..when people do it right I think it's fascinating how beautiful they can make it..I would say it takes a really really special person and dancer to ..make something so..worthwhile ..out of..the junk food of dance..so sue me..it's just true..but there is ..worth in it..itself..too..hard to explain..

  • @applemoon237 the junk food of dance? really?

    also please.. stop.. using.. two.. dots.. after.. nearly every word.. you say..

    my dance team takes a lot of classes in the off-season with different styles of dance and many of us can execute those other styles quite well. in fact a lot of dance teams actually use some of those other styles in their routines

  • @katiethedancer96 yes ..the junk food of dance..I don't mean to offend or insult. I used to be in drill team too. It was one of the best times of my life and I had a lot of fun.. challenge ..but also artistic satisfaction..from it. I am not saying that there is not plenty of worth in it and it's not cool and beautiful..can be..anyway. I do not say things like that just like...out of...like...high and mightiness because I also think some kinds of modern and other kinds of dance ...think..

  • @applemoon237 that they are so cool and "deep" and have such great perfect technique ...that they are so ..hmmm..how can I explain...let's say "UN-junk food of dance" ..but then it's really just not that interesting.or they think they are deep but they are really just...hacks..kinda..I mean any kind of dance can be meaningful or fun or beautiful depending on the choreography itself and the dancers who dance it and what they put into it. So just saying..there are other junk foods of dance..

  • good to explore other forms of dance.. Modern ..try a little extra Ballet again maybe..tap ..jazz African..Tai Chi..not really dance but very worthwhile movement..really good for dancers to expand their horizons..keeps them from getting stuck in the same movements and ..general atmosphere..I hope she does..really special dancer.

  • light shine..if anything..everyone enjoys being appreciated and getting praise and attention sometimes..But the quality of the piece itself is very earnest yet in fact impressive..but so genuine that I don't get the same..envious feeling myself that I used to back in drill team watching other girls .."show off" ..if you will. But at the same time..she is really on a higher level than they were anyway..funny how that works..

    Just lovely ..but I do think after she graduates it would do her..

  • in front of the other girls..dancers ..who have no choice but to watch..and feel less than and have to clap .at that..no choice..those are the rules..

    However I really like to see performances like this..with..just as much tricks ..beauty..technique and really quite lovely and meaningful ...but..showy in a ..substantial just..impressive ..to be quite honest..way...because..the feeling it gives ..is that..she is in it ..purely for..love of movement..and honest..human nature to..let her..

  • that have to watch it go on...sounds shocking but it happens every day..but then again in the end..like you say..if you got all the fancy tricks in the world and a beautiful dancers body ...if you don't have a...

    quality..of feeling..of real love of movement just for movements sake and real entertainment and/or learning..

    it's basically just..flaunting..popularity and shallow beauty...in

    movements form.is what drill team turns out to a lot of the time..a sort of

    silent bullying..

  • no question all the technique she was obviously brought up on ..ballet..jazz..but most of all..

    "drill teamy" as I like to call it...is..limited...after...dri­ll team .itself that is..and

    limit-ING..but I disagree about showing off..a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot A LOT..of drill team high school girls..I mean it's high school and girls will be girls after all but a lot of them ..will by pass real feeling..for..showing off just to look super cool and hurt the feelings of the other girls..

  • That was very amazing, your balance was amazing your fouettés, just everything!

  • Amazing control and turns, and emotions!

    Loved the dance, loved the dancer,

    :)

  • your amazing, your control is great. and the way you let your emotions show was amazing! you better continue with dance, because you are a natural :) congrats!

  • omg!!! i love it!! your amazing!! dont you just love dance!! i love love love love love it!! lyrical is my fav!!:)

  • damn!!! omg!! that was super amazing!!! I want to have that balance when i do my turns!!

  • beautiful :D thought the fouettes were incredible! :D

  • @hiyotomdude almost lover by A Fine Frenzy 

  • what is that move called, the one she does after fouettes? 1:45 ??

  • @sosnusia1996 it's called an illusion

  • @sosnusia1996 ilusion kick:)

  • @laurenpearsonx

    Thank youuuu xx

  • what song is this to?

  • Beautiful work it girl!

  • song?

  • i loved itt! but the orange sparkly shirt was a bit distracting...

  • so graceful!! :)

  • it's all tricks. that is all competitions are about.

  • @dancer4evera No its not. Its what bad competitions are about maybe. If you look up competitions at places like NYCDA you will see it is about dancing. not tricks.

  • @dancer4evera if you were a real dancer you would know that it's more than just tricks.

  • wow, beautiful

  • beautiful

  • you are amazing!

  • WOWCH! she rocked that! xD

  • I just loved it!!!!! Wow

  • it's not the strongest choreography, like yes you are flexible...but dance is so much more then that. it doesn't look like you've reached that point yet. keep working! try to add more moves instead of just flexibility showing.

  • Astrid- I must disagree with you. I thought she felt it nicely. I love this dance!

  • amazing illusions!!!

  • Wow! So beautiful! I loved it.

  • wow! i could only do a double! amazing

  • WoooooooooooW so beautiiiiiiful !!

  • fantastic! I wish I could do illusions like you!

  • whats this song?

  • @CassieSmyth It's Almost Lover by A fine Frenzy(: Only the best song ever! <3

  • eh. the choreo wsa good but she wasn't feeling it....

    i'm not saying i'm any better,

    but the dance would've been way better if she felt it :)

    -astrid.

  • that was one of THE MOST AMAZING dances I have ever seen.

  • beautiful truly a masterpiece

  • That was LOVELY! You are very talented.

  • wow this is amazing! i wish i could dance like you!

  • Comment removed

  • amazing job=)

  • wut song is this?

  • @redhottrini it's called Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy :)

  • That was really amazing!!!

  • holy crap that huge fouette turn into an illusion and landing it! woah! :)

  • THIS IS AMAZING!

    

  • She excellent..but she didn't dance

    Much she was just showing off and I quite didn't enjoy it.

  • You're a good technical dancer. You have very good piruettes and a nice balance between strength and flexibility, but the dance itself I didn't enjoy watching. I felt like it was forced, and that you were showing off. You see, I didn't see a continuing coreography here. I saw "watch me do this move" "now watch me do this trick". Dancing requires more than just good technique, technique gets you far, but not far enough. This is just my opinion though, hope you take it as constructive critique

  • @pervosienesi Totally Agree, couldn´t explain any better

  • @pervosienesi I very much agree!

  • @pervosienesi, hey, do do me a favor? shut up.

  • @pervosienesi, hey, do do me a favor? shut up. you're not as wise as you think you are, and you sound like a pompous idiot.

  • @MeganSincerely I don't know why you have a really negative attitude, but take a chill pill. I'm not gonna start arguing with you on youtube, but believe me when I say I know a thing of two about dancing. I never denied this not being a good solo, I just think the dancer has everything it takes to make it even better.

  • ur a great dancer and one day i would love to be good as u. ive taken lyrical for like a month and every1 says im a natural. im 12 and i take my class with 16 year olds.

  • That was....beautiful.

  • I your work! its floorless. WELL DONE

  • Dit kende ik nog niet. Een soort veredeld ballet. Heel mooi.

  • @TheLove7 wat dacht je van Modern ballet (i.p.v. klassiek) :P

  • your control out of your turns is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! wish i had that!!!! even after 4 years of lyrical my control isnt even half of that!!! ur lucky!!!

  • amazing i so wish i could move that wway

  • that was AMAZING! i wish i was that flexibable!

    If any one has ANY tips for me PLEASE send me a message!

  • wat a great dancer

  • This was good. I think it had to many tricks.

  • what song is this?

  • @shoemaniac08 A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover. I loove this song. :)

  • omg that's beautiful. Im just a beginer at lyrical and i hope to someday be at least half as good as u. keep up ur dancing ♥ :)

  • O_o soo flexable

  • the song is called almost lover

  • what song is this?

  • awesome! i wish i could do that! but i just started dancing so its gonna take FOREVER to get that good! you were born to dance, so dance your heart out!

  • how do u spin like that w.o puking ahaha soo good :)

  • @leamariejonas123

    Spotting. If you can spot well, you can do tons of turns just fine.

  • You are an amazing dancer! I give you an infinity on a scale from 1-100!

  • I absolutely love this.

    You have incredible talent.

    I'm writing a paper on Lyrical dance v.s. Hip hop.

    A multimedia was required for the assignment as well.

    I hope you don't mind that I used part of this dance

    to show the emotion of lyrical versus the structure of hip hop.

    I will give you credit at the end of course.

    I'll post it as a reply when it's finished. :]

  • your turns are amazing <3

  • You've got some really good skills there, but just being able to the the movement is all that being a dancer entails. There has to be emotion, and I couldn't see or feel any emotion in your dancing.

  • wat is this song?

  • It seems you were a gymnast by the way you do things... but it doesn´t mean you are also a dancer.

    Besides the really amazing fouettes, big jumps and elasticity... a dancer also has to express and feel every move... coordinated with the song.

    The song is slower than your movements and because you are jumping all the time from one place to another.... I can´t feel anything...

    Feel the music, flow with it and stop making so many acrobatic things... that;s not dancing.

  • @MarianadelCarmenVH

    i agree with you.. i stopped the sound and listened to Goddess of Fire by Steven Reineke .... and believe me...it fits better than "almost lover". Almost lover is slow and full of sadness and despair.... goddess of fire...well ...nome parlent ^^
