Look at his face after posing in the end of the dance (04:05). He personally wanted to make a smile to audience actually, but, he was embarassing because it's not the scene for smiling here which was so cute !!
I really like how the broadway show incorparates the boys' strengths into electricity but doesn't forget that it is an audition for a BALLET school and I think it also says something about the broadway boys. Although they ay be hip hop dancers or tumblers, they can learn and perform high level ballet.
awwww i love him! seeing the subtle differences in each electricity dance for the different boys is fun, but this one is the most unique by far. he's the only billy i've seen who does hip hop, and it really added a lot of passion. david's and kiril's were more graceful and floaty. trent's and liam's were classic but stronger. dayton is definitely my favorite electricity dance, trent my favorite angry dance
I was there is first ever performance. He was so fantastic and so cute and adoreable. I am so happy for him he made it to broadway, GO DAYTON!!! Hes got to be one of my favourite billys!
His turns are markedly bad compared to Kirill and David from the original Bway cast... but he's good.. but after seeing such balletic perfect turns, it looks kinda sucky!
@rlee1976 I don't think you can compare Dayton with any of the OBC Billys. Kiril and David were about as pure a ballet Billy as you could find. Dayton is part street...two completely different styles...
@rlee1976 I agree that his turns are not perfect, but ballet is not his primary discipline, so comparing him to David and Kiril is kind of unnecessary. His acrobatics, hip hop and tap dancing are incredible and he's got charisma in spades.
dayto,what talent , what grace you have, all your fans have said it all about you, all i would like to say is that you stand up very high, with all the billiy's that have gone before you,you are as good, and if not better than most.. and thats not taking anything away from all the past boys, cause they were all wonderful.. break a leg dayton. god bless you and keep you safe..
@TheRayFrom1989 I disagree that he was technically better than David, Trent and Kiril in the dancing department. Ballet is not his strong point, as someone else pointed out, whereas Kiril and David are two of the best in the world at their age group. Trent is an all-around incredible dancer and is particular exceptional at tap. Dayton's strength is in acrobatics and hip hop.
@MadameRumblefisher Well, I only can judge by what I see (on here). We could compare them and their mistakes, but we know we couldn't expect perfection anyways. They're all great either way...
@TheRayFrom1989 I wasn't comparing their mistakes, I was pointing out their strengths. They are all better than each other in a specific area, but none of them are better than each other overall. This is why I took exception to your blanket statement that he was "technically better" than Trent, David and Kiril. These kids are all too awesome to rank in overall performance.
LOL im related to Dayton!

I love his electricity! Does anyone know the name of the thing he does at 2:30 ? I've seen it in a lot of videos of Michael Dameski too

I think it's called an aerial cartwheel, so basically just a cartwheel with no hands.

Awesome! I saw him in here Melbourne (Australia) and I remember all the hip hop moves he threw into his Electricity routine.
BusinessDog2000 2 years ago
its great that he has such a unique take on electricity, making it his own, so that it differs to the other billies.
i remember rhys's, and his compared to this, is so different! :DD
its great that they can do this,
and dayton will go far into the future, cause he's got skill (:
to me, for him, billy elliot's jest the start of what's lying ahead for him ;D
