Hannah Bettes - Ave Maria

[raccoonan96]

HER POINTE. I always have "foot lust" or "leg lust", and I don't feel it cheats the dancer at all. Yes, most of ballet is stunningly hard word, determination, sweat and blood, but usually pointe and legs are not 100% God-given either. She worked hard for her feet and legs to look like that, just like she worked hard for the rest of her technique.

[babyyydanceeecrazyyy]

SO pretty. i'm soooo jealous.

[nicolebriii]

everyone please stop the video at 1:05 and tell me how you feel.......... it's really not fair.

[Banapoly]

Do you think she has to stretch?

[rickblue62]

HER POINTE.

[sharaswanson]

That was absolutely stunning! So touching! She was just added to the group of my favorite dancers<3

[listentograysontalk]

hannah bettes will always be my favorite dancer.

[ieroaddiction]

She floats through the air.

[tappintigger123]

needs emotion. it's almost like she's made of wood.

[RosePetalsFalling]

O.O I think this may be my new favorite dancer.... Yep. She's my favorite. EVER.

[ILovePerforming]

She is beyond amazing!

[misscommenterrater]

beautiful

[zrcsoccer5]

her toepoint<3

[MissPapaya100]

I Only Like The Fact That She's Flexible......

[ohheyitsstar]

her feet....wow

[MischeifMakers]

she is soooo flexible!!!!

[xxxashleyxxx4000]

WOW! her point is epic

[peacelovetumbling97]

now.. thats what i call pointing your toes.

[TheSwitlo]

Now she had won 2nd at prix de lausanne. She has come so far.

BRAVO

[dancinforever11]

Why did she only wear one shoe? Why not two?

[Montrec100]

pause 1:05

[RiemannBernhard]

she's beautiful but the choreography is horrible, it looks like a gymnastic exercise, and by the way I think she used to play gymnastic before dance

[777morgy]

her arches are crazy lol i love her feet

[miikaaax3]

her back is insaneee

[chelseachang5667]

omg her arch looks creepy on her foot

[idance4lyfe100]

gorgeous but shes realllllllllly skinny



[thestarofkazanTocan]

she is such a gorgeous dancer....but the cross thing at the end was weird as fuck

[MsSophialicious]

This is absolutely stunning!

[bieberlover101101]

wow :D

[lolo10125]

She looks ten feet tall in this. But she's really like 5'5'' or something like that!!

[callie790]

@lolo10125

shes actually only 5'2 .... just saying lol

[Jnortsify]

She moves so fast...

[ShinyJewels04]

omg she was only 13?!

why do i even try....

[fencepostify]

her feet are always so pointed, part of what makes her a beautiful dancer

[BaileyDerby]

pause at 1:04

[MsKiki2297]

all that effort, to look effortless....

[puppykicker00]

dammnn she twirls barefoot... how the heck does she do that?!

[beccaboo147]

@puppykicker00 she's not barefoot every once in a while the light catches her shoes :)

[melissaaclouse]

this was absolutely beautiful

[LizandLexINC12]

beautiful dancing, but the costume made her look akward, with her ribs sticking out when she bent back

[premieredance2011]

60 haters...lol i think jealous

[bambutt123]

beautifulll.

[gofuckinnuts]

I'm 17 and I look up to you.

[MelleMayout]

Je trouve ça très beau. Merci à toi !

[tututoob]

She is a good dancer for her age, but the cross thrown haphazardly onto her costume and the awkward choreography were distractions.

If you have to ask why this combination of choreography, cross, and music is inappropriate, you can't afford the answer. For a second opinion on the wisdom of this kind of combination, have her dance to the beautiful Muslim call to prayer wearing green shoes bearing the name of Allah. I'm sure you will be enlightened soon on the subject of religious insensitivity.

[vallgal111]

ohh my gosh..trade bodies with mee..now!

[thesloppypig82736]

Dear Hannah Bettes,

You truly inspire me to strive in dance you are one of the people that have gotten me to where I am today I have always said and will always continue to say that I want to be just like Hannah Bettes and everyone that doesn't think your amazing is incredibly stupid just wanted to say that you are my idol that I will never forget so follow your dream and I will follow mine as dancer to dancer I wish the best to you :) <3

[clairelouisexxxx]

you are my idol. that is all.

[shasha24361]

 Beautiful young girl

[Eboonnny]

I don't understand how people could 'dislike' this.. she is perfect

[SlimThickAngel]

I cannot watch this without crying. She is amazing!!! I am not a ballerina but her moves look so stunning and unique to me. This was so beautiful and what a lovely song selection!!

[imadanceryo7]

HER AREBESQUES. I'M CRYING.

[bbcdancer]

her feet and hyper-extension are intense!

[RTdances]

she is so good!!!!!! but the choreography seems too intense at points for the song.... otherwise amazing!

[ukiegrammy]

@RT dances, I agree, she is a very talented dancer indeed. The choreography does not coincide with the music. It should be more flowing, more lyrical, more emotional. Still she is just beautiful.

[omgitsaveryduh]

Those feet I would KILL for

[diperstinky]

you are so amazing you are untouchable the ONLY correction i have is to put more emotion into your dancing. it might be that i just can not see your face but tha is the ONLY thing i noticed. keep dacing you are flawless!!!AMAZING!!!

[aapricot816]

1:00-1:05 WOW!

[nidhiandmaddie]

@DoubleDerping yup the one in gainsville. :) that where her company is located (patel)

[TheCowsGoMooXD]

her arches <3

[5678danceluver]

this dance is incredible, i just dont understand the necklace at the end. 

[kleisrondd]

omg i want her feeeeet.

rawr i dont like her costume



[101MissDance]

You have an awesome point! I love this dance! What dance studio do you go to? Is it in San Diego?

[millymoo1231]

shes better than hayden hopkins!!!!!

[ciaomammapoesy]

she's amazing but i didn't like the coreography

[barbie95love2dance]

OMG she has AMAZING feet!!! I really don't know what you're thinking about, but I don't like when people dance to the Ave Maria, that song is a prayer, I don't think it's a good idea to dance it in competitions, but without counting the song, I think this girl is a beautiful dancer! I loved all of her moves and her amazing technique =)

[dgdancebabie]

I WANT THOSE GORGEOUS FEET!

[TheCristinaEve]

Ugh! I could only dream to be like her now.... I'm 22... lmao!

[Dancerpro607]

I want her feet!!!!!!!!!!! I can only to 4 turns, how does she do it?

[LethalLemonLime]

She's amazing.

[nidhiandmaddie]

hannah is amazing my school performed with her in gainsville this past november :)

[DoubleDerping]

@nidhiandmaddie you guys are in Gainesville? Which one? Florida?

[MsRunningInRain]

That pointe!!!

[pandaaas1]

She must have worked so hard to get to the point she's at now, so she has naturally beautiful feet and has a body of a ballerina. But that is only about 10% of it and the other 90% is pure determination and everyone should be inspired by her. I know I am...

[megzalicious7]

the fouettes could be a bit more fluid though. but still... absolutely incredible

[megzalicious7]

omg! shes so bendy!! its like her body just does whatever she tells it to.

[xXthinkxthinXx]

perfection. absolute perfection.

[zessi80]

Is she a former rhythmic gymnast?

[dancer746]

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!

[peacedog81]

UGH, I swear i have the worst arch and the worst back in the world. She makes me look terrible!! Pointe must come very easy to her...

[butlikereally]

her FEET!!!!!!

her ABS!!

her LEGS!!

her BACK!!

OMGGGGG

[salmoir]

Technique is flawless but can we please put some meat on those bones

[MG261]

there's no way ever this could be inappropriate! if there is a God up in the sky... she's totaly his,(or her haha), creation! amazin! :)

[smartercat]

I love that she dances with the music. So many dancers forget to follow the music. She was really good!

[Floravincent]

Elle danse très bien mais elle est trop maigre !!

[kuldkullake]

I really like the dancer and choreography and execution and expression, but do you really think that this music is appropriate for dance and the outfit as well. Do you think it is appropriate to do fouettes to "Holy Mary pray for us sinners"?

[RoseofGilead]

@kuldkullake Why isn't it appropriate?

[shikey9821]

i would hate to be the person who goes on after herr!!

[ncreecaple]

this was posted on m birthday, great birthday present!

[annietart]

This girl should be in Juilliard or SAB. She's so talented. I can seriously see her being a great prima ballerina.



[CaitlinCutsinger]

what is that move called at 1:03 ???

[raccoonxeyesxx]

@CaitlinCutsinger A layout kick. :)

[theAnnafilms]

@CaitlinCutsinger the kick thing?? that's a layout

[CaitlinCutsinger]

what is that move called at 1:04 ???

[JuMpInCoRbIn1212]

@CaitlinCutsinger she goes from a ponche to a layout on releve!

[crossignol128]

I wish I could dance like her, and I love her arches!

[dancer4ever99100]

holy crap!!! look at her feet! and her layout and her leap and everything else about her are AMAZING!!!! at competition this year.... nobody be like her PLEASE!!!

[Dancinglibs]

There are some people that are literally made for dancing, and she is one of them.

[livedreamdance87]

i cant stop watching this video. she's phenomenal--when she's older shes going to be the best dancer the world has ever seen!

[16zoeloveslife]

this was so beautiful it made me cry you're amazing

[shutupandlistenplz]

oh my lord <3

[trubeauty1124]

her lay back....enough said

[carlsullivan1995]

Yourdancechannel, this doesnt show up on my iPod but it does on the computer. Why is this?

[xodancerx3x0]

her point is amazing!!!!!

[theball3rina]

WHY IS THERE A DISLIKE BUTTON FOR THIS?! This is so awesome!

Her feet... her flexibility.... its all amazing.....

[4eBtr]

woooooooooooooooooooow impresionante O.o

[78haybay]

stunning.



[kateulele1]

I saw her dance with Next Generation Ballet (the company she's in) and the Florida Dance Festival last weekend, and she's incredible! There were a lot of girls in that group, but she stood out the most.

[Monsonclan]

Amazing dancing, but such bad choreography and the costume is so unsuitable for the music!

[amdancersforever]

..................

[MartinaPerfection]

craaaaaaazy

[Lilid43]

omg amazing!!!! She's amazing!!! When she get's to be like 16 has she decided what ballet company she wants to go to because. She should decide now because by then she'll have about a million offers:)!!!

[Quintinlicious]

omg that layout

[ragdolls4]

Ugh... why is this girl wasting her talent in dance competitions. She needs to be performing! Very beautiful classical ballet training. Wonder why she's doing modern/lyrical?

[CaitlinCutsinger]

@ragdolls4 actually now she is. if you look at the YAGP 2011 NY finals video for junior women, she got 1st! idk if she still does these competitions but she is training in classical ballet

[abullock1998]

@ragdolls4 hannah is in a professional ballet company now. look it up.

[dancer2197]

she has amazing feet. lol

[Ballerina1117]

as much as i want to be jelous of her right now, i cant because this dance and the dancer are both gorgeous!

[LisaLiquid]

I love the dance, it's beautifull and she has a lot of talent but I'm afraid of how skinny she is. :(

[SandroDance1]

Já vi bailarainas com facilidade coporal... Mas essa ai arrebentou! parabéns...

[raccoonxeyesxx]

Does anybody know what that pose/move is called at 0:15 ? I see it done all the time in dance but I don't know the name for it.

[lyricaldancer27]

I want her feet.

[caitypie2207]

I dont understand what there is to "dislike" about this dance. What are people disliking?

[Encore1PAC]

The best dancer on the planet!!!!!

[Rose0883]

The feet! The FEET!!!

[itzrebyy]

57 people don't know what perfection is

[iLoveBrucas13]

She has the perfect feet that everyone wants... I worked so hard for my point and i never got it like that.

[PaulaRosaSantana1]

Maravilhosa!Perfeita!Tem tudo que uma bailarina pode ter...

[skyesoflyblog]

her feet r soo amazing they r gross!!!

[trackspikes101]

i really hope this girl becomes a professional ballet dancer...her grace is reminiscent of a swan.

[Gracey2000]

Oh My gosh that is amazying I have been trying to get that good!!!!

[gleefulginny7]

it would be an insult to dance if this girl doesn't grow up to be a dancer!

[justwannacomment66]

her pointe is UNREALL!!!

[raccoonxeyesxx]

The only bad thing about this dance:

it ended.

[Lyndybop]

HER FEET!!!!!!!!!!!

[j748xx1]

@Lyndybop i was just about to post that loll

[ballarinamom1]

AMAZING! SHe inspires my daughter!

[livetodance135]

Wow! Hannah is such an incredible dancer! And flexibility isn't just it. Anyone can be flexible, but it takes skill to be a dancer. <3

[sharonka322]

she is amazing, her dancing is amazing...but the emotion?

[livelovedance1080]

she is AMAZING and her feet are OMIGODD!! but i actually feel as though the dancing might look better if the feet werent as good?? i dont know it just gave the dance a strange type of slow and over done feeling. it ruins the shape. ... just my opinion. BUT SHE IS STUNNING :)

[theinstantheart]

her pointe is out of this worrrrrld!

[nikkibaby7]

juilliard class of 2020?

[charmedancer]

If I wasn't already "retired," I'd give up.

[HMDHCMC]

omg her feet are amazing

[Lizabizzy886]

Love watching Hannah's dancing. She has skills!

[landelo1]

was she a rhythmic gymnast before a dancer? She has some beautiful flexibility.

[whitou1]

You crossed over with this one Hannah. That was perfection.

[GurllBetterWork]

She went from Another One Bites The Dust to this in a year!?!! Amazing.

[MartinaPerfection]

Her feet are amazing, she's thin, she's beautiful, she's flexibel, she can turn jump and her souls dances with her! This girl was born to dance, at all

[raccoonxeyesxx]

oh my goodness can I please be her?!

[animeaddict13]

Can you say perfect feet and legs?!

[lildancechick97]

wow amazing

[JenyaZ14]

O my God!

She is so flexibel!!!!!

I didn't think, that people can be so flexibel...

I would kill for her body, feet and flexibel

[Dancingfreakerooni]

I'm competing a lyrical solo this year. I hope not all the girls are like this or I'll have to make room on my trophie and medal wall for an honorable metion.

[thehuntforhunter]

I would kill for her feet.

[theboylikestodance]

awful, awful choreography. But someone get that girl into a full time ballet school with Russian teachers and she can dominate the artistic stage!

[abullock1998]

@theboylikestodance she is signed to a ballet company. look it up. and how dare you criticize this beautiful dance? shame on you.

[MarianaSofiia]

she should be on dance moms

[Premierepointe]

OH MY GOD Her FEET!!

[TDWgirl6]

1:52 stop it right now.. look at her STANDING FOOT, she doesn't cheat aaanything.

[jesuishannahB]

her FEET. even when shes turning you can see how incredible her demi-pointe is... probably one of the best young dancers ive ever seen

[iROCKThis4life]

lord...the feet on this one..

[erikatokuyama]

omg she has no spine....

[dancer20116]

pause at the leap at 0:50 = WOAH

[BillyBalletGirl]

FEEEEEEEET!

[callie790]

Werk Hannah! Btw. This is her little sister :D

[austenacevedo]

@callie790 Oh Callie My Wife <3

[Moosicfan05]

I think that she should eat a sandwich because she is so skinny, but not in a bad way. I think she is a wonderful, AMAZING dancer. I can definitely appreciate this. I have been a dancer since I was three. She will most definitely be able to make a career out of dance. Please go on SYTYCD in the future! I would love to watch you on the show!

[morrqura]

holy. shit.
