  • i would kill for her control.

  • That was gorgeous!!! :)

  • She is such a beautiful dancer, I love watching her!

  • She is really good. Though I don't like this type of dancing,I have to admit she was awesome :D

  • okaaayy first of all, it could be considered a type of lyrical AND acro solo.

    I'm pretty sure i saw i double in coupe, level changes, and a calypso..before you start getting all feistyyy on any one else learn your dance moves first:)

    by the way you wear awsomee!! :)

  • p.s. this was one of the most amazing pieces i've seen :] youre a great dancer even if you're a gymnast. dont let these tards say otherwise ;]

  • you guys are retarded. this is acrobatics, as in gymnastics. as in, NOT BALLET! NOT LYRICAL/CONTEMPORARY! geez, you guys need to learn how to read before you make a fool of yourself and say negative things. she's not a dancer, don't expect super flowy choreography. in fact, ive even seen actual dancers not know how to make their moves flow. its very common. but for a GYMNAST i think she did an amazing job, even her dance moves were really good. so read and think before you speak.

  • @jaimeandcarmenshow 1st, this acro solo is in a DANCE recital. 2nd, Courtney is a professionally and classically trained dancer in Acro, Ballet, Lyric, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, and Modern. 3rd, I've been honored to dance w/ her & have her as a choreographer for the past 3 years to know that she is a contortionist and acrobat, but also a phenomenal dancer who truly knows how to "flow" as you call it. This dance blends staccato& flow together but it's only a taste of her talent. Hope that helps:)

  • This is amazing. Most gymnasts are cheerleaders instead of dancers. You sure proved that sterotype wrong.

  • That was sooo good! Keep up the good work! (:

  • ohmy god. amazing handstands ! and the fact that she can do a backlayout full on nothing is amazing ! :O

  • That was amazing!

  • preeeeetttyy. :) I'm glad it was an acro dance. It bothers me when people put acrobatics in normal dancing. You've got mad skillzzz

  • wow this is bad....NOT! THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING! SKILLLLLL!!!!

  • So expressive and so powerful!

  • THis is beautiful! :)

  • I love this vid!!!!! It's absolutely amazing!

  • She is really clean in her movement it's a very good dance what did you score on this???

  • you better have won that, you did amazing. I liked when you were going to do a back handspring, but you just stopped when you got on your hands.wow, you are good.

  • holy shit...she almost landed on her head at 1:36...gave me a heart attack >.<

  • good job!

  • Idk what the heck acro is but that was AMAZING!!

    Wow.. My jaw is still on the floor haha

  • its the wrong song for an acro dance. the song has so much emotion in it, but acro dance does not display alot of emotion. the song would have been better for a lyrical or contemporary dance. it was a good dance, just the wrong song.

  • This song is made for this kind of dance

  • you are so good! i would really love to see you dance again :)

  • Such... control. Wow.

  • you're really good!

  • i think it was great, and i did a dance to this song in the winter, i just think it didnt really fit the mood...but good job anyways, and props to doing a full on stage like that, must have killlled your feed :D

  • this is amazing! you have soo much power but you're soo graceful! i loveddd it

  • i really want to dance. o how i wish i had this opportunity when i was younger. 

  • So, my first thought was, "Wow, she doesn't have the right muscle structure for a dancer." Then, you started to tumble... Now, I understand why. LOL

    Great job. You're incredible. :)

  • This was incredibly dull. It's such an emotional song. This kind of dancing belongs in a jazz dance. The girl looks bored. She just goes from move to move. There needs to be less gymnastics tricks, more choreography, and a hell of a lot more emotion. Make me feel what you're dancing for and about.

  • @Gkg3692

    but it's an ACRO dance. It's supposed to have all those tricks. I do agree with the emotion thing however. The choreographer couldve squeezed a few more meaningful movements in between the acrobatics

  • This is so cool!

  • good lord girl what flexibility,im amazed!

  • wow shes such a great dancer : ) !!!!!!!

  • You are incredible!!! Your going to go far if you're not already, although it's acro, you still have amazing facial expressions. Very impressive,

    3GirlPro

  • i <33 this, she is so amazing, altho i dont htink i wld use this song 4 acro, bu it is still awesome!!!

  • You are an amazing acro dancer... beautiful form, control and strength. Congratulations!

  • great acrobatic skills.

  • that was amazing! great job! that was so clean and precise with all your movements! well done!

  • your movements were not fluent but more "robotic" if you know what i mean

  • omg. I envy your control. It's amazing. That backhandspring thing where you stopped halfway through. wow. :)

  • i agree no emotion tryin to do stunts in a contemporary dance doesnt cut it

  • @gdove90 JESUS CHRIST! LEARN 2 READ! ITS SAYS ACRO! AS IN ACROBATICS! AS IN GYNASTICS! ACRO IS GYNASTICS AND DANCE!!

  • thats gymnastics not dance . its real good but the song makes it better than it should be

  • she it wrote in the description, it's an acro solo.

  • @malissarella

    this is "acro" - which is a form of dance that incorporates gymnastics. Acro is a discipline of dance.

  • Did anyone consider that this could be a gymnastics routine?? my sisters are doing a similar thing at their gym club for their floor routines, all have dancing backgrounds and by the way that she holds herself and her attempts in the accuracy in the main pieces in her 'dance' show more that this is gymnastic based and should be looked at in that light?? i could be wrong but some of you are a tiny bit harsh she is obviously not a ballerina

  • @MelodyRose29

    it says ACRO dance in the description. They don't put triple jazz pirouettes in gymnastic floor routines. I do however feel that the "gymnastic" part of the "acro" dance was a bit over done though

  • you are an amzing dancer but i feeel there waqs really no emotion or anything sorry but it was boring

  • Hrmmm... that was amazing, and all. I love that song. But I feel the dancer was just sort of like a girl who went up there to show off her 'cartwheels' and 'handstands'. I really don't feel like the dance, or movement, had anything to do with the song. It felt really disconnected. I don't even think she had much emotion :/

    -Don't attack me. Just personal opinion.

  • @Nocodota im not attacking u im just saying its an acro dance and thats what u do in an acro dance

  • Comment removed

  • uhm,

    was that taped off of a computer?

    it doesnt look real?

  • Holy SHIT this is awesome!

    Fuck "jessiaxo24," that dumb cunt doesn't know anything! :]

    Who CARES what the dancer is wearing.

  • umm ik what dance is about ive been dancing for 10 years, i was giving her constructive criticism on the only aspect i found that needed work, since the dance was amazing; and i didnt dislike the costume because it covered her, i disliked it because it didnt fit the song and was a blouse. it just wasnt my taste for this song. so nice try being smartass little bitches

  • @ EmmaDelaney1993: It's an Acro solo. Acrobat/dance.

  • is this supposed to be a dance or a floor routine?

  • @emmadelaney1993

    well, in the info tab, it says ACRO DANCE. acro dance is a type of dance that utilizes your skills for tumbling mixed into a regular jazz or contemporary routine. However, there was waaay too many flips and tricks and not enough turns and kicks. Lol just had throw that rhyme in there. But yeah ,there was a lot of tumbling and not enough dancing

  • @jessiaxo24 just wanted to say that in dance its not about the costume its about the movment and emotion of the dancer. ps.. great dance. =]

  • good dance but the costume is horrendous

  • i happen to think the costume is good. nice to see someone who isnt showing off all their flesh. i mean what do they want us to look at, their bodies or their dancing??

  • @LilMissMadHatterBell

    oooh I can't tell u how much I agree with u on the flesh thing. We shouldn't be gettin any views of ur beef on stage or staring at your bare stomachs (I mean I would feel so uncomfortable dancing in those costumes while my dad, grandpa, or little brothers r watching). However, if ur gonna get a modest costume, can't it be pretty instead of grandma-ish?

  • that was really good but she kno her feet hurt from that too

  • i was so moved the first 20 seconds girl, but i love both this song and dancing itself that i would prefere it if you had focused more on the dancing part and not the gymnastics. this songs brings out so much power and emotion you should have kept it that way cause you got that. However you are really talented and well done i really enjoyed it:)

  • This is great! I love that you showed off your talents, but still kept the feeling and power of the music. It wasn't all show off, it really communicated the emotion of the peace! Good job!!!

  • doesnt your feet hurt from turn bare footed??????

  • Acro solos are fun to watch. I've never been very talented in the acro part. lol I loved the whole thing. :)

  • beautiful.

  • AMAZINGGGGG!

  • is this at centennial?

  • this is CRAZZYYY!!! wow girl...keep up the good work, you're going to go far in the dance world. I'm doing this song for my solo this year...but damnn i definetly not as good as you!

  • Thats a acro routine so having lots of tricks in it is a good thing.

    great job your very talented. keep up the good work. you'll go far girl :P

  • wow shes so amazing

  • this is amaing! you're so talented! read the info people, it's an acro solo.

  • This is an awesome acro solo. Your tricks were really well incorporated into with the music and flowed pretty seamlessly. Great job!

  • every1 whos sayin like this is 2 many tricks and gymnastics i kinda agree but wat if its a gymnastics dance?????

  • It is lol it's an acro dance

  • Comment removed

  • :31-:47 holy crapp!

  • Yeah , I definitely agree with what people have said. Too much gymnastics is totally different from dancing. Like really, stunt after stunt. Just dance, baby, you're lines are just beautiful, (:

  • I agree. I love that she can dance, and I love that she knows gymnastics, but in a "dance" routine, she shouldn't put some many gymnastic stunts in it. She can keep a few but not put too much. And she should feel the music more.

  • if you read the side info box it's an acro dance :] Just thought you should know! :]

  • People really need to read the info... It's an acro solo. And acrobatic solo. If she had "just danced," she wouldn't have been doing what she was supposed to be doing. So, yeah, you're not really doing her any favors with this "advice."

  • That's not "dance" she doesn't reaaly use the music... But congratulation you're pretty flexible

  • that was weird.

  • amazing........wow try out for so you think you can dance

  • amazing .

  • I think you should consider JUST dancing, like no gymnastics. You have really nice line and you deffanitly have the flexibility. Nice piece!!

  • DAMN she is strong!

  • she's a gymnast not a dancer it was just stunt after stunt with really poor flow and "dance" in between

  • I think it's beautiful!

    You've got the skills!!

  • amazing. so elegant i loved it

  • hello 10+ years of gymnastics

  • Shes so flexible W o w

  • i love you courtney <3 nikky

  • WOW WOW WOW. WOW. For a minute there, I was like, "why does this have a hundred thousand hits? (I could appreciate the control from the beginning, but was surprised others got it) Then the nice handstand positions, then the back full. HOLY SMOKES girl, AMAZING!!! SUCH a lifty aerial too. Pow. Start to finish, unbelievable. Five stars!!! Thank you!!! xoStephy :P

  • This is awesome, you're very talented but I feel like you have so much potential to do more dancing in your Solo. Your Acro is great, don't get me wrong, but I want to see you dance because I see from what you did do that you very well can !

    Keep it up, you are amazing !

  • you are amazing, skilled and very talented. I hope all your dreams come true!!

  • wow your truely amazing! you are a real dancer! great acro abilities! amazing!!! :D

  • It's an acro piece,

  • Appppllaaaauud props

  • i don't care what you critical people call it (acrobats, dancing, gymnastics), it was simply breathtaking.

  • What was this performance for?

  • <3 great moves

  • nicely done

  • WOW!!!

  • Amazing.

  • She's really beautiful, and her dance is it too. She must be satisfied of herself.

  • nice turnout

  • great job. was this at a competition ? if so, how did you do ?

  • great job gymnastics in there to :)

  • seriously...amaazing dancing! it wuz all beautiful. but it wuznt naturallly flowy. u knoo? like it wuz elegant and then al break dancy....it shuld b all one theme. i kno a lot bout dance. it wuzz def. amazingg!! but it wuznt put 2gether well...one move aftr anuthr didnt goo

  • thats the way it was supposed to be and she choreographed that herself it was her first solo shed choreographed and clearly u dont know enough about dance to comment

  • Ok, i hate wen pppl r like mean! i wuz commenting not being mean my gosh u crazii ppl. "and clearly u dont know enough about dance to commentt....blah blah blah!" ok, ive been dancing for 11 years, i go around d world 2 dance, im a champion..ok. i know a ton about dance. i nevr meant 2 b mean, i wuz juss sayin.rly stop replying 2 me being mean. its like stupid

  • your stupid

    she's is way better than you bitch

  • yahhh u kno evrything:D not

  • I really really like this! It is usually hard to put acro to a slow song but you made it work!

  • she's amazing. i wish i caould dance lke tht.

  • she is a great dancer, but this isnt a floor routine, i mean hand stands, and handsprings are all fine but the back tuck right in the middle of the routine is just a little much, she is a great gymnast too!

  • and everything else like the ariel too, it was just the tuck and full that i personally think where a little much, but its your dance

  • ur right its not because its a DANCE COMPETITION and she was under the acro solo catergory

  • Ok you are awsome...but you wasnt followin the music...

  • exactly. read my abuv commentt

  • WOW she is amazing!! i wish i could flip like that!!!

  • the dance is good, but whats up with her face? its so technical, no feeling, its like she would make a tick on every move. it seems like she just dance, but dont feel. maybe she've just got so many feelings that she don't wanna show them.. i dont know.

  • not only are you an amazing gymnast, you have great technique and are a great dancer. keep it up, you have a true gift, from one competitive dancer to another. GOOD JOB!

  • that so cool how she did that

  • This isn't a good acro song.

  • ya it isn't i prefur a faster song

  • so technical, no feeling! but good!

  • Wow , Awesome job!

  • AMAZING

  • wow great job that was amazing :]

  • Why is everyone commenting on the gymnastics?

    It says in the description that it's her acro solo.. correct me if I'm wrong but is that not "acrobatics"?

    I don't dance so I wouldn't know for sure, but I thought that's what it meant.

    Absolutely stunning.

  • You are amazing!!

    You are perfect at danceing<3

    What kind of dancing do you do??

    [:

  • It's true what ickledee236 said- there were too many gymnastic moves in the routine. Don't get me wrong- I love gymnastic moves- but they didn't flow in the dance. For a good mix of gymnastics and contemporary, go watch Allison's solos from So You Think You Can Dance, season 2.

  • it's her "acro" solo!

  • i hate it when dancers fill there dances with gymnastic moves. its lyrical dance is .. its about movment and feelin the music. b4 people slag me of about this comment i am actaully dancer myself and has been for 15years, i think she is really good tho.

  • its an acro routine..

    acro is VERY much like gymnastics.

    you say your a dancer yourself, wouldnt you try to make your dance really out there? got to go for the platinum!

  • really good

  • wow you are absolutely amazing.

  • You r awesome when you go down on the ground and your feet go over your head with your hands back even more awesome!!!! U ROCK !!!!!!!!:)

  • that was a very good acro solo! :))

  • It was more gymnastics than dancing but it was still good..

  • It wsn't great dancing..It was more really good gymnasics..?

  • WOW. You can completely tell that you've been dancing for a WHILE.

    Great job! Keep dancing :)

  • That was more of gymnastics routine...

    Still good, but not a dance.

  • wow that was amazing.

  • u r really good but the choreography didnt match the song this is mostly a contemparary dance

  • okay so you did a really good job. haha for the first 30 seconds i thought it was a typo when you said acro solo but from that point on it was very evident that it was indeed acrobatics. but just a bit of constructive criticism... when you do your flips i would just say to be a little bit lighter on your feet during the landings. it just sounds a little too rough. also, just try to keep your stamina up... that will also help with the power for your flips so you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone =]

  • i like you from the hips down...show more with your upper body, dance is about passion and expression. let yourself go and enjoy :)

  • amazing. plain and simple. wow.

  • wow!!! you have such amazing arm strength and your movements are so flowy...i love it! and great song as well :)

  • my jaw dropped, your control is INSANE! How you went from some kind of back flip (I think) into a handstand split! Great job!!

  • god job

  • wow...emote please.

  • wow i wish i could do stuff like that i can dance but not flip like a monkey X3 good jump

  • Thats not Dancing. Its gymnastics

  • i hate acro and shes good but gives nothing with her face

  • yeah i know.

  • wow you are very clever !

  • Comment removed

  • it's hide and seek by imogen heap. cool routine by the way.

  • This was more of a showing off gymnastic thing then dancing =/ Dont get me wrong though it was good.

  • i agree with 10sgirl8

    dance was relee good

    thoughh!

  • I hate how at the end she ends after the music ends.

  • Great job Court!

    Elyse!
