  • Im pretty sure she has danced at Australian Champs around 05 or 06 - because I remember seeing her do a jazz solo and it was fantastic!

  • I hate the costume and song but good dancer. :)

  • bad song, but great dancer! you have wicked turns!

  • She's my dance teacher :) she IS AMAZING. out of no where she can pull 11-12 turns. shes beautiful.

  • shes an amazing dancer her technique is ridiculous but the movements dont go with the dancing. but WOW that dancing

  • AHAHAHA love the hip thrust at 1:29 XP

  • The choreography wasn't exactly up to par, but great technique! Also beautiful feet!

  • Obviously got talent, but needs a better choreographer.

  • look at the point!

  • hamburger hands. you are a beautiful dancer.

  • less technique more dance !! ur more an acrobatic then a dancer . i say this with respect ! 

  • think i saw her on you think you can dance!!! :O

    shes so awesome

  • Amazing technique mama! Work on the artistry but you've got what it takes. Maybe a simpler costume as well, but you have a solid core! Keep it up.

  • I personally love it that the movements are so strong and fierce but the song is so soft and and subtle

  • im not being rude or anything because i hate when people goes on someones video which i know they worked really hard in & put bad comments on there but you looked just a little stiff in some of your moves but other than that really good dance.

  • amazing dancing oh my god!!! AMAZING! but the costume and song did not match the dance but oh my gosh amazing!

  • Fantastic turns!!! wow, I loved the dance and you are a amazing dancer but i felt like the moves didn't fit the song, and that the song needed more feeling. If you would have danced to a more upbeat song I think it would have matched perfectly. Still....Awesome!!

  • wow

  • nice illusions!!! great seconde turns!!! luvin the energy! very talented

  • girl youre amazing and too good for this song and costume and it didnt go together. you are so amazing but this just wasnt the right song for your kind of dancing

  • wow... that was amazing!!! horribable sog choice but omg!!! that was awsome... that center was crazy good!!! yu better hit up Jullarid if you havent already!!!

  • i hate the song but your technique is amazing. try to put more feeling behind the beautiful steps. great job

  • wow your center and technique is simply is amazing. i didn't really enjoy the song much, though. and, the only thing that i saw wrong was that you were a bit stiff. make sure to not loose your neck.

  • wow amazing turner!! loved everything but the song choice i wasnt very fond of!

  • holy fucking shit dude that chick is extrodanariy that was i mean its just thatumm.... wow thats my second new dance idol man

  • holy crap your center is amazing

    unreal

  • gorgeous technique but I'm not feeling it

    seems a bit awkward and the song is annoying

  • That song is annoying -.-

    but shes amazing.

  • i hate the song. a lot.

    but beautiful dancer!!

  • Wow. Your an amazing dancer. I don't like the song though. It doesn't seem to match the dance. Incredible though either way. :)

  • her arms are akward here but on sytycd she is alot better

  • well, you have to take in to consideration that this was 3 years ago :)

  • i hate the freakin song but love the dance give me a thumbs up if u agree

  • i agree

  • talented

    song was annoying

  • was she up against shauna noland or is this a diffrent year :P

  • I can't do any of what she does but music is slow she should go for slower movements. Although impressing

  • She doesn't look the same as she did for sytycd audition!

  • she looks so different from SYTYCD

  • aw, she didn't make it into the top 20! ):

    she was ALREADY my favorite just by her audition. come back next year, PLEASE!!!!!!!:D

  • i heard she tried out for SYTYCD and has made it to Vegas!!!

  • ya you can find her audition on youtube

  • Good dancing but some of ur movements were too fast and didn't go with the music. I'd suggest doing a song next time with backup music. U also didn't look like u felt the song. However, ur turns were incredible!!! Good job on those.

  • great turner but your carrying so much tension in your upper body and ur movements seem kinda rushed and hard edged which makes you just look kinda angrey the entire time your dancing instead of looking like your feeling the song

  • totally agree!  great flexability and good technique but it seems to be really stiff.

  • it was good! but i jus wish she would have actually finished each movement cause in the end everything ended up seeming unfinished?..like it was lacking that extra special thing..but it was still great anyways!shes an amazing turner!

  • zzzzzzzzz oh wait, is it over?

    ENTHUSIASM!

    PLEASE!?!

    STAGE PRESENCE!?!

    nice tech though,

  • I agree 100%! It was kinda boring. None of her movement touched me in any way. It didn't seem to connect with the song at all.

    Her turns were great...but in the end who cares? It was forgettable...

  • Good dancing, you are really talented. I agree with the comments below sayign the song doesnt match the dance. I seriously could see this song just being played over a video of you dancing. It didnt go well at all,but that doesnt take anything away from your dancing. I also would be careful with all the tricks, not much dancing if its all tricks. good job though :)

  • what is the song called?

  • amazing dancing, you are seriously talented. but i have to say, i didn't especially like the dance, it was pretty jerky and didn't match or express the song at all.. (same w/ the costume). but still great =]

  • beautiful

  • great technique! the costume didn't match the song and dance at all though, that's for a more racy jazz dance costume, for this piece u should have gotten a pretty flowy lyrical costume.

  • wooww greatttt technique!

  • Beautiful foyte turns. and quipe and picce turns. just straighten your knee on your picce turns. and it will be amazingly beautiful. not saying your great. and facial expressions. it's not all just dance moves it's also expressions and emoitons.

  • omg. amzing turns!! ;) good work. the acapella song is good. but to tell you the truth, i don't really think it goes well w/ it. but amzing turns. i love the song

  • youre amazing and your technique is perfect but two things:

    1)costume looks more like a jazz costume

    2) song was horrendous

  • i really dont like the song it sounded kinda whinny but u r an outstanding dancer!!!! I love how at :46 u breathed with the music that was my favorite part it made me feel like you where really connected with the song.

  • shes talented but i don't know where the choreography was going with this dance.. its relates to the song in no way to me.

  • it was really good but i thought she was a bit tense looking. but the dance was lavely anyway

  • Her hands were bad

  • i liked it a lot! :] the only constructive criticism i can think t give is to relax your shoulders. then it would be amazing :D

  • That was fuckin amazing. You see i am a dancer and i was looking for dances on you tube today that would just blow me a way, and your dance did that for me i was astonished. I agree with playCONme though. The costume didb't fit the dance but other than that......WOW!!!!!

  • Technique was great, but there was something left to be desired, though I can't put my finger on it.

  • I think there was no emotion........she was cold and that`s why I didn`t like it..............my opinion

  • kattleweiner2, its not about the singer. its about the dancer, who did a really good job! :]

  • shuld b a liitle more fluid and not as agressive but great technique. chang ehte song and utfit the dance wuld b perferct!

  • Great dance, but I had to turn the sound off. I feel bad she had to listen to that song all the way through and more than once to rehearse.

    And how would a costume relate to "thanking someone"?

  • we can tell you are not a dancer.

  • horrrrrrible song choice

  • Dude, your pirouettes are.... what's the word? Oh yeah AMAZING!!!

  • Fouetté* sorry.

  • She has great technique, and the fouttees were impressive, as well as her pirouettes.

    She was great, but I agree, the music wasn't appropriate for the dance...

  • whoa the singer's notes are really flat!

  • Great dancing( (Although it didn't go with the music).

  • do you eat?

    looks like i need to put a pizza in your throut.

  • She was only in her teens!

  • its ashanti that sings this song

  • amazing technique and movement. but i don't really feel your choreography to this muscic, sorry. but still - awesome.

  • good job, u gave good technique, u didn't seem to enjoy it that much though, seemed like u were really nervous.

    I get like that too, that's why i don't do competitions, i just perform for the fun of it, not to get a score. Good job though

  • You´re good, really good! ...but it looks like you haven´t felt the whole thing ...

  • Very clean and you have nice control.

    However, I would choose a costume thats flowey because of the song.

    Great job though.

    :)

  • great!!

  • WOW~ legs! and turnss!!

    AMAZING but loosen up

  • amazing dancer hands down but sigh.... this is my favorite song... and the choreography didnt match the song, too stiff thats all i can say. but good job

  • i totally agree her technique is amazing and her line great - just needs some emotion - still really amazing tho

  • csodálatos...

  • no stage presence is right. its like watching a shadow dance.

  • i agree with the costume

  • you're a good dancer but you look a little stiff. amazing turns and extension but put more emotion into your dancing since its a lyrical routine.

    i don't think that the choreo nor the outfit fit into this song. but thats not your fault. overall good though.

  • OMG!!!!She's skiny......

  • you and amazing dancer, but oyu dont show the emotion in the music nd the choreo dont really match it either

  • you are a good dancer, but i missed the emotions. i think that the choreography and outfit don't match to this song, the dance doesn't seem to be lyrical.

  • she seems very stiff, not flowing or fluid in any way.

  • Hmm...amazing lower body technique...given...plus the natural feet and legs..ahh beautiful!

    However...concentrat on loosening your arms up a bit..and the hands :) they are a nasty habit and they really due through off the whole dance. Also a bit more emoition is due for lyrcial yeah? Your looked really worried through it..maybe more peaceful?

  • really good!

    except. maybe you should feel the music more.

    sinceits a lyrical routine

  • u hav a really good point

  • holy shit girl your dance is the shiz

  • her pointe is INSANE!

    her costume makes her entire body look awkward..and her shoulders are very very stiff throughout. that just kinda turned me off of the otherwise perfect dancing

  • You are a great dancer but the song, costume and choreography were poor.

    From one dancer to another

  • wow you are awesome. I love the interpretation of the movement to the song.

    Just avoid lobster hands.

  • wow she  can sing go ashanti

  • ashanti?

  • should NOT have used this song. when doing dances for song there should be a general beat in the background (not a capella)

  • i don't understand how someone could have great turns but lobster hands and just an overall stiff body. can someone really have dance talent if they don't have grace?

  • is that the real song for this... its doesnt go well... shes beautiful.. but the song is cracks...

  • I'd have to agree with the most of you...this song does not go with the dance

  • to see the original ashanti version, come to my page!

  • this is like a contemporary danceee.

    her song is like ffdugbdgba not to be rudee.

    herr movements are great but the song dosnt go

  • the costume should be for a jazz dance.. and the movements are nice but choppy transitions. She has amazing control and turns, but for more of an upbeat song. she would be amazing at jazz, but lyrical is about telling a story and feeling the emotion from the dancers movements. this tells no story, just good extensions.

  • i like heeerr

    but i dont like the choreography

    beautiful song :)

  • amazing technique. but the dance doesnt fit the song and the costume doesnt fit the dance or song. it kinda seemed like the music was added in after the dance.

    but still, great dancer.

  • good dancing. good song, but it's probably the wrong one for this dance.

  • the spins and fortes are amazing!

  • I love...this music...I don't exactly like the choreography....True this was for a competition showing what your good at....But I don't think there's enough dancing in it...

  • Good dance and dancer buttt the coustume does not fit the song or dance

  • i saw you compete this

  • I agree with dancingincouture389 that the costume does not match the style.

  • shes amazing but the costume doesnt match the style...it looks like some hardcore gothic jazz costume to me

  • You were blessed with the gift of being tall, take it, love it, embrace it!! You look a little uncomfortable, but non the less no one can take away the talen the you so obviously posses!!

  • HEY. SHUT UP ALL OF YOU WHO ARE DOWNING HER! If you didn't know she was The Senior Dancer of the Year and went to Australia. Yeah...I would keep your comments to yourself. Go work on yourself. God.

  • try to keep your chest up more on your kicks but everything else was amazing!

  • turns are amazing.

    a little to stiff for me.

  • The spins and fortes are beautiful but the dancing looks akward. She shows no emotion and expression when she dances.

  • I really like this dance and song where can I find it?

  • Hey!! check out my beyonce dangerously in dance and u keep dancing 4 ever Thanks!

  • although the coreography is ugly her dancing is beautiful

  • shes a good dancer,but the coyagraphy sucks

  • i hate the song.

  • i think its awful. she doesnt create good lines, and her dancing just looks awkward. she has good technique, but the musicality is just not there.

  • hmmm...the dance & music doesn't go together... she looks like she's dancing to a fast & strong soundtrack...not a light ballerina song...

    anyhow it's good...

  • just plain dancin' (JPD)

  • amazing turns.

  • girl those piroettes and fouettes are sharp as a tck-- excellent job an dyou have GORGEOUS legs-- it's always nice to see teh lower body focused on a little more in modern/lyrical dance

  • wow

  • the control was amazing.

  • not enough emotion

  • GAWDDD. LOBSTER HANDS WTFF AL YOU ALL SEEM TO DO IS CRITISIZE LIKE YOU THINK YOUR ALL THATT ERMM SHE WASS AMAZING. Theres No Need Forr All Off Thee Butt..Sheee BlaaBlaaBlaa =]

  • ugly costume, but you have pretty feet, and watch your shoulders they are rolling and you are getting lobster hands :-)

  • cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dude. amazing technique! but watch out for those lobster hands...

  • great job. your turns are completly flawless. your a beautiful dancer.

  • felt like the music took away from ur tricks. Wish u could have danced more, but good job.

  • i think i competed against you once. you are amazing

  • i think your sooooooo amazing... its obviously not as eazy 2 do as you make it look!!! x

  • really good... nice control =]]

  • insane technique. don't listen to the others, that was amazing. I'm a dancer too and i know how hard all of that is and you excecuted the tricks and turns really well.

  • see people judge to much on the song but in reality the reason why you picked this song was probably a good one. i love this dance and the song. :0

  • too choppy(N)

  • more dancing. less tricks.

  • good but i dont like the costume

  • umm the music choice wasnt good but you're lefs are really good but you need to work on those arms but i love ur legs

  • you are really good. i can tell you feel the music. keep on dancin gurl cause you will go far

  • just because the dance had nothing to do with the song

    doesnt mean that dance itself wasnt good shes a great dancer. and besides usually it isnt the dancer who coreographs the dance.. so she danced what was givin to her well. really well. i agree she needed a bit more control comming out of some of her turns/kicks etc. but overall it was good

  • moved way to fast for the music...

  • it was really good! you just need to fix your posture in some areas and to control your body from comming out of your moves (i.e.: kicks, turns...). other then that it was really good!

  • terrible!!!

    the dance has nothing to do with the music!!!

    keep working honey!

  • My opinion is...If you're gonna call it dance...DANCE then.

  • the dance is amazing but i think the fact that the singers voice is amazing is bad becuz it competes with the attention of the dance.

  • that's an interesting costume for lyrical.

    dancer to dancer =]

  • good turns .. but the dance didnt go with the song!

  • The technique was beautiful but i think it evaporated the emotion!!! I can't compliment the technique enough I mean you clearly have control, flexibilty, a strong center, and all that good stuff but it was smooth enough it did really flow!

  • good turns and control, but i think the dance would be better if there were some good leaps in it.

  • the technique is obviously there, but there isn't any emotion behind it. Just because she can pirouette five times doesn't mean the dance is good. I felt like there was control, but not always in the right places, and not always properly. It took away from the emotion. And the song was awful. But the technique was great. Keep working!

  • lmao, you are silly!!! you made my day

  • great turn sequence

  • she has a great center

  • Well I like the choreography but it doesn't go with the song. The song makes my ears hurt...Ashanti sucks, but good job.

  • absolutlly agree, the music is horible, and the dancer ´hasn´t got a lot "en d´hors"

  • Words cannot describe how horrid that music is. Otherwise terrific though. Once that god awful music is muted.

  • I just don't like the song at all

  • i totally disagree....i like the song but i dont like the dance to it......ya know???

  • shut the fuck up ashanti u cant sing

  • i love how you have SO MUCH feeling! i dont think she's that stiff and that can be a good thing some times i love this dance i love the coreography you really should really try to loosen up a little

  • I feel bad for her, the dance is good but the song is HORRIBLE

    doesnt go with the choreography, and how can you even dance to that? overall, i just think it was really akward to watch
