  • they are so good together!

  • It was good... But I felt awkward??

  • For a second there I thought she was lady gaga

  • :O that is terribly skinny. oh god. i cant even watch this.

  • shes a skeleton.

  • this made me cry beautiful

  • only 13? shes dancing like shes 21! I see a future star!

  • Oh my god! This is absolutely stunning! Both are exceptional dancers and performed beautifuly. I think the choreography is incredible as well. So many beautiful moments in this dance. I couldn't take my eyes off of the two of them! Incredible!

  • people commenting about her weight have no idea what they are talking about first of all shes 13 in this! every serious dancer looks like that at this age! and you can tell from the way she dances she does countless hours of BALLET every week she has a ballerinas body. she has muscle tone to her. if she had an eating disorder, she wouldnt have the strength to dance with such control. shes a gorgeous dancer

  • o boy:P

  • what song it this? who is it by?

  • @DHansen17 enya memory of trees

  • If you would, look beneath her physical appearance, and be amazed by the great technique and skill, beautiful dance style and the undeniable strength,which is hidden by grace.They're real amazing

  • this is awesome!!! a very emotional piece.. I LOVE IT

    but it is scarying how skinny she is.. where does she take all the strength from to dance those hard things??

  • Ed or not,This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen in years! She was also younger at this point(13) and while dancing you have to maintain a certain weight to be able to move as freely as you wish with your partner. I think she did a fabulous job. The choreographer is amazing as well.

  • definitly has an ED

  • Its obvious that she has some weight issues, but i don't think it is any youtube commenters buisness. just let her figure it out on her own. commenting about it will not bring any good into the situation.

  • anyone know what this music is called??

  • ewwwwwww this is disgusting shes like a tooth pic! lol

  • WOW! that dance is absolutely amazing!! there is so much feeling in it! i love it! <3

  • she isnt just naturally skinny...but that aside the dancing is beautiful

  • this is really amazing bit of an age difference and she is unhealthy skinny

  • Her feet look bigger than her legs, poor girl, beautiful though if she could put on a few pounds, great adagio

  • @JasmineGeorge well, she does have pointe shoes on.

  • yes, i admit, i WAS gonna comment about her wieght...then i started reading all the bs in the comments. yea, she's thin, but ballerinas are suppose to be in order to move properly, espeically with a partner, it can be extreme. unfortunately some resort to wieght to low for their body type, but im not gonna just blame this girl to have an eating disorder, since most of these comments obviously dont even know her, and neither do i.....

  • i will say that this dance is gorgeous. the only correction id suggest is the boys arms look awkward at his sides as he's running to the back in the middle of the dance, and the girl's foot is rolled in at the end, but that's all.oh, one more thing i forgot to write about her looking anorexic is her pointe shoes. because the shoes go far past her natural toe it makes them look bigger than they should, making her ankles look tiny. its more noticable when she is en pointe because of her arches.

  • At first I did think she looked a bit anorexic, but after I saw some of her other videos I think she's just one of those naturally skinny people. Anyhoo on a different note I loved this dance and I think they are both gorgeous dancers!

  • True art. This is true dancing. Not that weird jerky interpretive crap.

  • ahhh so skinny! eat girl!

  • she looks like she anorexic. feed that girl a big mac!

  • Wow Skinny Much >

  • amazing! they are so graceful, and i love the choreography.

  • Cant*

  • There so good !!! but I hate watching Skinny !! people dance it doesnt give me that affect and I can really see the emotion I just see stick figure :(

  • alot of my friends that are girls are her size and only 2 of them are dancers, anyways the dance was good but that guy really didnt do anything but lifted her

  • Let's stop being so critical about her body, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes:) she's clearly an amazing dancer so let's keep that as the focus!!

  • @dancingdork89 Its hard to focus on The dance and yes its beautiful but then its hard to see that because shes so thin

  • 0:29 - 0:33 for a 13 year old thats a little frisky

  • It looks like her legs are gonna snap off any minute :| but it was beautiful and the dancing just made you not care :)

  • geez people.

    if you took a look at her previous videos she's gotten a lot taller in a year so it's no wonder she's thin.

    but i thought this was absolutely beautiful and she mastered the style and the feelings perfectly.

    It's a very mature style for a 13 yr old to take on and she definitely pulled it off. way to go. (:

  • good technique but I thought it wasboring

  • good dance but that girl needs to freakin eatin somethin. she's scary looking

  • shes skinny yes on camera, but in person. it is scary i dont think shes just tiny her face is hollowed out in person and her knees are wayyy bigger than her legs its scary =[

  • what is the name of the song, anyone know?

  • its called the memory of the trees by enya

  • Two of my best friends eat more than anyone I know and they're still tiny! So how do you know what she's eating?

    This was beautiful! Just flawless technique. Would have loved to see the guy dance more, he looked amazing when he did start to break out more.

  • Beautiful dance!! They both compliment each other fabulously.:)

    Comments about her weight; my daughters were both very tiny at 13 and are still very tiny for their age. This DOES NOT mean they have any sort of problem. It hurts me to see how insensitive people can be. This is why I do not post any of my daughters videos. Is it any of our business to care about what she eats?! NO. So why don't we acknowledge why this video was put up; becuz they are obviously talented kids.

  • i also know many young teens that are tiny and eat EVERYTHING! but i just feel different about this girl. especially becuase she's smaller than past videos. she hardly has any muscle in her legs now. im not accusing her of some eating disorder, i just think she should eat healthier.

  • @DCJcheer if you notice in her past videos, she's gotten much much taller in this one, she's almost as tall an the man standing flat, so no wonder she is thin, she just grew a few inches. I thinking she's absolutely stunning and an amazing dancer

  • im 13 yrs old, a dancer, and have hips and a butt..

    beautiful dance love the shapes and pictures being created...use of stage is great

  • Wow, Ashley is fantastic. Are there any more videos of her out there besides the related videos?

  • wow what a BEAUTIFUL dance!!!

    however, i really hope she starts eating healthier! she's gotton a lot smaller! please dont tell me "she's a dancer"..it's obvious that she's not eating healthy.

    ashley, you dont have to be a tooth pick to dance well.

    again, BEAUTIFUL dance!

  • She may be a talented dancer, but her personality is that of a 4 year old child who doesn't get what she wants.

  • The girl is soooo skinny!

  • beautiful!!!

  • i have never seen something so amazing and look so effortless in my life!

  • YOU GUYS! Shes skinny because she's 13 YEARS OLD!

  • leave the anorexic comments out of this and just focus on the beauty of the dance. it really is wonderful.

  • definitely an amazing dance. Especially the lines and shapes the choreography creates as a duo is very beautiful.

    Those comments about the dancers look/weight are inappropriate and rude.

  • wayyyyyyyyyyy too thin.....yikes. a little disturbing to watch cause shes too skinny....

  • That little girl needs to make sure she's eating right. There's fit and then there's sick.

  • beautifully choreagraphed... their lines... omg

  • Wow that is one of the most beautiful dances I've seen.

  • wow.... this is what i love to watch... leaves me breathless her lines are beautiful and there control is great!!!!! I love all of the clever lifts :)

  • wow their control, her lines, his strength

  • dear god in heaven she is much too thin i dont care about filling out or training even for a dancer its just agh

    BEAUTIFUL, however

  • this video is the exact reason that i fell in love with dance.

    i would like to thank these two for bringing us into their world even for a few minutes.

    this is a brilliantly choreographed and danced piece.

    ashley is absolutely fantastic.

    way to go.

  • Comment removed

  • shes not to thin shes a dancer for christ sake! ashley is very good for her age well done sweetie.

  • she's too thin

  • im sure you wish you were that thin right. mhm.

  • your crazy.

  • very good, but wayy wayyyy to skinnyyyy

  • she is very thin but you have to consider that she is only 13, probably naturally thin, and then trains SO much oin top of that.

  • I thought the girl was like 16!! Goodness gracious!! She is amazing!

  • absolutely redic. beautiful.

  • so beautiful :)

  • WOW!!!!!! thats all i have to say.... beautiful!

  • all i could do is watch in amazement. they had such beautiful lines together. ahk :]

  • I never realized just how thin Ashley is. She danced it beautifully and the guy is such a strong partner. I'm awed

  • she is probably one of the best 13 year old dancers I have seen

  • ummmm wow shes skinny

  • this is beauuuutiful

  • In the beginning i really wondered if that guy was naked xD

  • der both beautiful dancers and thts the most important!!!

  • People throw the word pedo around pretty freely. This girl has an extremely flexible body and looks perfectly normal to me. She is perfect for contortion. Ian

  • it was an amazing dance, but a 19-year old dancing with a 13 year old seems a bit.. well pedophile to me, especially since she looks a little younger than 13 and he looks a little older than 19.

    but regardless they are both amazing.

  • oh and let me add- it wouldn't be as big of a deal if it were a 23-year old and a 29-year old, its just that by 13 you barely hit puberty while by 19 you are basically an adult.

  • she's not annorexic!

    she's a DANCER. and a lot of dancers (including my close friends and my own sister as well as myself) burn a lot of calories when we dance, but still eat a TON of food. we have fast motabolisms thanks to dancing alot. and if you notice her torso and legs, you can see her MUSCLES, not her bones.

  • why do we keep talking about her? slawek is hot.

  • oh, heck yeah!!!

  • Hmmm...I "like" skinny, but I worry about her health. Sorry, that gets in the way of the opinion of the fabulous dancing. Man, these young people are very talented and make going to see a dance performance "worth it." Please don't stop.

    But please be healthy. If you (the young lady) can perform as well and be a little "sturdier" please consider putting a little "health" into you body.

    Truly, these young people are talented and delight to watch. Kudos to the choreography...very much.

  • please go eat like 3 hamburgerss........but your amazingg:)

  • i think she is a beautiful dancer, a little skinny, and ghostly white, but good. I have heard she is home schooled so she can spend more time at the studio. That is more of a shame than her weight. I have some dance friends who have used the term "dumb as a box of rocks" I hope not, I would hope they take education as seriously as they do dance. I have watched her for a couple years at competitions, my daughter will be at ASA next year. and thinks ashley is good also

  • I know a lot of very talented and VERY skinny dancers who eat a lot and who are very healthy. People on this site tend to jump to conclusions too easily. I don't agree with the ages though.

  • I think her dance is beautiful and she is talented beyond her years, she although is really thin and I worry about that for her healths sake

  • ok this is ballet so she should wear tights

  • Beautiful! Hate her legs, though.

    They are a beautiful length, but you see her muscles wayyyy too well. And I don't like that. Still amazing, though.

  • i dont know if its me but its a little wierd that a 13 year old is dancing with a 19 year old. its just a little akward for me. but there both amazing dancers just i think ti would be more practical if they danced with people there own age.

  • um, me being a 19 year old, almost 20, i did a duo with a girl for compition that was 16 years old and there was nothing wrong with that.

  • thats different. three years difference is ok. but a 6 year difference is a little wierd.

  • such a beautifule duo.

    her lines are amazing, and her legs are sooooo long(:

    love this!

  • This is an amazing dance, talk about that, not Ashley's weight.

    And yes I agree, for a 19 year old to be dancing with a 13 year old, he should be wearing a little bit more.

    Probably one of the best ballet duets on youtube.

  • Oh, and I forgot to say, she has a beautiful arch and body line.

  • AMAZING

  • Sławomir Woźniak Sr. is probably the best polish dancer and choreographer. Amazing dance! ;]

  • it's an adagio, but she's doing jazz turns? hmm...

  • their lines are gorgeous.

  • you guys have such great technique and talent, but a 19 year old and 13 year old SHOULD NOT do a duo together (no matter what style.) you both definitely have a future though. keep up the good work!

  • flawless

  • Comment removed

  • Her*

  • He legs are never ending, its amazing

  • omfg this is so fucking creepy! eat a big mac!

  • this is beautiful i cried!

  • she could use a few burgerss

  • wow... seriously? can we not just appreciate the dance for what it is, instead of commenting on the appearence of the dancers? cool guys. this dance is beautiful in every way so save yourself from sounding dumb.

  • Yes... because dance is a VISUAL art! If the dancers look emaciated (Which the female does) it heavily effects how the choreography is seen. Anybody who wants to has the right of saying that a botticelli is a "Fat" woman, just as everyone has the right to comment on the weight of these dancers which (as someone who lives and breathes theater arts) is MUCH too thin.

  • I know everyone has the RIGHT to say what they want... But come on, what purpose does it serve critizing this dancer of how skinny she is? She is only thirteen for goodness sakes give her some time to grow.

  • I think if she was on the verge of dying she wouldn't be dancing... I mean correct me if I'm wrong... Anyway, she's a beautiful dancer. Believe it or not some people are born naturally skinny, and with all the dancing she does she probably looses weight. Which is NORMAL. Before you start talking I'd like to see you do what she does.

  • I've actually sampled a VARIETY of this girl's work. and if you knew about anorexia nervosa you would understand that many of them are chemically addicted to EXCERCIZE! Many will not stop moving. They do acrew muscle, and ONLY muscle, which makes moving a 70lb. skeleton very easy. And as I mentioned before I am part of a very large Theater arts and Dance community. And I know people with eating and metabolic disorders. It's treatable. I'm just saying if she dies... don't be shocked.

  • Comment removed

  • doubtfulguest88 you are very pretty!

    and knowlegable!

    I'm sure you can dance so much better!

  • I agree with tancerz1 you are very knowlegable...we should call you dr.doubtfulguest88 since you can tell whats wrong with a person by a video or you must know her personally thats why you know her exact weight and that she anorexia nervose addicted to excercise and is going to die..

  • Good god, If you could READ! You shouldn't let your brain run away on your key board like this

  • Are you fucking kidding me?

    What makes you think that you can talk that way.

    you dont know anything about her.

    You shouldnt even be commenting on her apearence, you should be commenting on her dancing, which is astounding. "If she dies.... Don't be shocked" That is very ignorant.

  • Wow, everyone kinda just jumped on this one, haha. I don't think doubtfulguest88 was accusing this person of being anorexic. Their original comment was just that weight can affect how someone views another persons choreography or dancing. It's very true. I mean, if this girl were clearly overweight but was still just as good it would affect the appearance of this dance. Her being rather skinny does affect the dance, it looks like bone hitting bone at 1:55. Not pleasant.

  • I danced with him for sugar plum and he is an amazing partner!

  • 1. She is not anorexic,she eats alot actually,surprisingly alot.

    2.I looked exactly like her when i was 13,trust me you hit your girl time and she will gain some wieght all of us do.

    3.She is and awesome dancer,and slawek is not ugly you jerks.

    4.This was an awesome piece,yes at first it was kinda awkward with the age difference,but you watch the rehersal and you get used to it and its not bad at all.

    bravo!!

  • Slawek is GORGEOUS.

  • EW! her legs are so skinny its creepy to watch! the boys ugly and she looks bald! :/

  • essence get a user name for goodness sakes!!!!!!!

  • Speaking from experience both of dancing and of anorexia (and I'm not saying she is anorexic), but it does start to get a little worrying when a young girl's knees start looking bigger than the rest of her legs. I hope it IS just her natural body type and that she is happy and healthy =) On a side note, the dance was absolutely beautiful - thankyou for posting!

  • CassandraIncognito I see that you have some issues and you probably should share your sandwiches or even give away your whole meals :) She is young and he is athletic and they are both something that you would want to be

  • this is beautiful!

  • PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it just looked a little sexual in some parts...and he needs a different outfit...no offense...

  • Comment removed

  • that was beautiful! im the same age as her and i can mostly do the things she was doing but shes amazing! and she is really skinny but thats how some dancers are we dance like theres no tomorrow and im like that but my doctor says im healthy so its just that we eat and since we dance so much it burns off.

  • Beautiful, but they both look like they could use a sandwich. I would gladly make them a sign.

    "Will dance for food"

    Considering the amount of calorie you burn dancing, and practicing for dance, they need lots of protein, and carbs for energy. Otherwise they aren' healthy, and they will decrease their life span. She will never have a child, and could suffer future bone problems. I'm not sure of the consequences for men.

  • OMG she is truely incredible

    one of the best ive seen on all this videos

    how can she only be 13?!

  • this is amazing!

    but she is so skinny

    is that even healthy?

  • aw i saw this in person in phoenix. awesome :D theyre amazing together

  • omg, so beautiful, they work so well together

  • That was a beautiful piece

  • She's 13..

    Her matabolism is probably real high at them moment.

    And she's a ballet dancer.

    I don't think she can help it.

    She'll probably have more meat on the bones once she gets older, that's how I was.

  • what's the name of this song and who performs it? i have been looking for it everywhere but i can't find it. please help. beautiful breathtaking dance btw.

  • I believe it is Enya, but I'm not sure which song exactly. You would probably like all of her stuff if you like this song.

  • It's The Memory of the Trees. :D

  • she is on the skinnier side but you have to remember she's only 13 so she might not gain as much weight as say a 15 or 16 year old. also she's taller so that definitely contributes to looking skinnier. but either way she's gorgeous and the dance was amazing!! loved it.

  • this is beautiful! <3

    but what song is this? i'm dying to know!

  • The Memory of Trees- Enya.

    :D

  • are you guys serious. here is an amazing piece and the only thing people can talk about is her body. whatever body type she has, she beautiful. and dont forget about the boy, Slawomir. he is just as amazing. :)

  • This was really pretty and well done however, it slightly bothers me that she's thirteen and is dancing that intimately with a nineteen year old.

  • haha I'd be more distracted then bothered. slawek is gorgeous

  • Way too much is made of the age issue. I feel that age is not relevant to the performance of acrobatics, dance or contortion. The intimacy expressed by their motions is perfectly appropriate. I am much older than the young girls that I train. We must remember, we are not living in the 1800's.  Ian

  • This was so so soooo beautiful. It took my breath away.

  • omg that was amazing!!

  • She has the ballerina body. She looks healthy to me!

  • exacttly. ballerinas are supposed to be skinny and tall.

  • thats a stereotype. Ballerinas are "supposed" to be skinny and tall. what an ass thing to say,

  • your an ass okay? i didnt mean that in a bad way. get over it.

  • i wasn't saying you were trying to mean it in a bad way.. you are just ignorant on the subject.

  • well they are definitely supposed to be skinny not necessarily tall anymore but it doesn't hurt.

  • there not skinny, THAT'S IS ALL MUSCLE.

  • Beautiful, really moving!

  • that was incredibly beautiful. you both are AMAZING dancers keep working it was gorgeous :)
