I just saw another video of her when you were 5. You've had an incredible amount of improvement since then. I'm going to see if there's anything from 2010 because you must be about 15 by now....and awesome! Great job. Thanks.

[littlerisingstar]

@sonorandesertman Thank you. I just turned 16. You can go to ashleefproductions

[dancerluv25]

@sonorandesertman I totally agree. You were so, so, good even when you were five. I'm ten and i performed this song in a solo a couple years ago. I LOVE it. I'm probably about your level in this video- and i'm ten. You are one of the best, and i mean BEST dancers ever.

[daphadil1]

your really good

[maddennis55]

WOW!!!  Great performance!!!

[shimeiwoo]

so cool!!!you are a great dancer !!! i want to be like youu ! but my mom said that you have to dance every day but you are still a great great dancer.

[tapdancer96]

i have been dancing since i was 2 so ik alot about solos and u were good but i think u need to work on flexibility judges really look for flexibility my teacher helps me with that because judges like seeing amazing things and u have to be flexible for that and i c u r flexible but get a lil more flexible and then learn to do different things with your skill! great job though

[Shamr0ck23]

ok no......its not all about bein Flexible.....its about bein a great dancer and dats it! If u r flexible dat a plus but u dont NEED to be flexible. Since ween dancin has been about bein Flexibility? I have also have been dancin since i was 2 and i am flexible but dat doesnt make me a dancer. And is damn sure dont make me a Comp winner eitha. Wat that gurl did was great and dont take dat from here become TO YOU she was flexible enough.

[yorkielover18]

@Shamr0ck23 i can understand wat ur saying but i have also been dancing since i wuz 2 and ive been doing jazz slos since the age of eight and when it cumes to jazz solos the judges look for the girl to be very flexible, in the sense that she flexible enougn to do the stunts that shes di=oin to the best of her ability so i agree with tapdancer96 that she could be a little bit more flexible buut i give her praise for this solo because it was awesome

[MariaTheRussian]

@Shamr0ck23 agreed! i think she was plenty flexible! :P

[shugarpie23]

wow!!!!!! I danced for Starpower a long time ago!! I was like 4 I think. I was in show troop. I still dance today so that makes about 11 years. we dance about the same :) greaaattt job!

[alexdye587]

holy crap you are goodd.

at 9 years old that is awesome .

i am 16 and cant do that :)

[deedlebugdancer1]

I think it was great for a nine year old. Very nice, just remeber control when you start going fast. But that was good.

[cookiedough54]

ur good

[littlefreco9]

this is a great dance. btw, doesn't song remind you of like christmas or something?in the beginning

[californialove31]

[Tinkerbelly2]

Amazing! Well done, you'll go far! Please comment on my solo guys thanks :)

[14williamss]

i think ur really good at the stunts like the leaps and the fuates and turns, and ur flexible, but the technique needs some work, but ur only like 10 right? good job otherwise though.

[xdancer95x]

[littlerisingstar]

I think top 10. Thanks

[kclairebob]

WOW!.. you make me feel like a rubbish dancer and im 21!!! Very talented!! Beautiful lines!

[zilmaraalmeida]

She is beautiful!!!

[BroadwayGirl826]

Holy crap. That must've taken a lot of practice. You were 9!? That's incredible. I'm 13, a dancer, and can't do that.

[bigballofstupid]

[littlerisingstar]

Yes I did until age 10, then did legacy and theatre and now chose to do sing/dance/act at a performing arts school.

[littlerisingstar]

When I was 3. THANKS

[onlylexy]

i freaking hated the song because who ever sung the song offended me because that song is not suppoessed to be somthing you sing for fun it has a huge meaning behind it and she sounds like she has no typ of reason to sing it!.... but that dance was real good gurl you are awsome did you win?

[littlerisingstar]

Its the passion, you are right. The meaning and feeling. No I didnt win, but I enjoyed being able to perform

Thank you!

[jenknee1976]

I have a much greater admiration watching this, having my 9 year old just start working on her first solo this year, KNOWING how tough those turns can be to get down. She is amazing!

[littlerisingstar]

thank you and tell her not to give up.

dance with passion, love and determination.

it was so so hard, but I did it though great mentors and teachers. its not the trophy, its all about the performance and feeling good, and how much you learned. Ashlee*

[CocoxAudrey]

[EmilieBakken]

WOW, you are such an AMAZING dancer.. do you still dance?

[dancedevil94]

OMG SHES GOOD. The costume kinda made it look like a lyrical dance, but once it got going it looked more like a jazz dance

[jahdancer93]

wow...you're really good. :)

sometimes you spaz a little but you're great!

where do you dance?

[Phillys1stLady]

It was good but I think the Lauryn Hill version is better..this is a gospel song..she turned it into a pop gospel

But n.e.way her performance was great

[candace4c]

Great job! Amazing lines and extensions for someone so young!

[mamamialove]

Wonderful little dancer...its a joy to see real dancing. But what's the best about watching you is that you love to dance...and it shows!

Thank you ...very joyful performance!
