  • the voice in the music is her own voice and she an amazing dancer.

  • I know a girl,who is my best friend, and she is built exactly like Ashley. She eats like a cow! Although, she's also a dancer.

    People need to realize dancers are very thin, and might be born with a fast metabolism. Cut it out guys.

  • When youre anorexic you have no energy or strength whatsoever. theres no way she would be able to do this with all of her strength and control if she was anorexic

  • if she was anerexic she couldn't dance like this... i don't believe she is. she's beautiful just like her dancing...

  • That was good i wish i could dance like that

  • Um, you guys do realize she was 12 in this video. When I was 12 my bones were all sticky-outy too, it's something that a lot of people go through during puberty. She looks pretty tall, so her weight probably just hadn't caught up with her height (and not to mention her assumed lightning-speed metabolism) yet. It's not up to you to decide if she's anorexic or not, because anorexia is a state of mind. It is a mental disease. watch the dancing.

  • @dancrchick1793 that includes dancers whose careers were destroyed by anorexia. Her ribcage, elbows, and knees are obvious signa of being unnaturally skinny. She's too talented to being this to herself. She's an amazing dancer and I hope she seeks help before she ruins her possibly brilliant career.

  • @undiscoveredrocker94 are you retarded? she is twelve. 

  • @dancrchick1793 so being a theater major, I was surrounded by actors and dancers. Plus my mom, and sisters did dance and theatre their whole lives. So as you can imagine I've seen quite a few anorexic performers.

  • @dancrchick1793 Shes amazingly talented. I never said she wasn't. And yes, I have a fat ass. I'll be the first to admit that I'm Fay and that even after ten years of dance, I sucked. But, I did go to an arts school. As a theatre major.

  • pretty pretty! :D You know if she was anorexic she wouldn't have the strength to do all of that. Just saying. 

  • what song is this

  • Anyone know the name of this song???

  • the song is really cool

  • i'm pretty sure every dancer looks like that at 12. she isn't too skinny, she's perfect the way she is

  • Well, to be thin in dancin is never a problem, but in this dancin art (not like ballet), it´s not bad to be  a little bit more bigger. But that´s a matter of taste.

    She´s a good dancer and that´s the most important!

  • @Bwwbe That makes no sense that its not like ballet. Wow.

  • this dancing is insane. like. good insane. just. wow.

  • I danced with ashley when we were younger, and shes been this skinny her whole life. i dont think people should judge her based on her weight, she is an AMAZING dancer, and thats that. she wins all the awards at every competition, and she always puts 100% in every dance. i think we should applaud this girl, not put her down for her body type.

  • guys, realize this; if she was anorexic, she wouldnt have the strenght to dance like this. shes 1 truley fantasic dancer.. leave it at that. :)

  • @rhillieandmillie a lot of really great dancers have been anorexic. she could easily have it. why would anorexia be such a big problem in the dance world if only sucky dancers had it?

  • most dancers are this skinny shes prob super healthy this is just how beat dancers are soo shutt upp she amazing 

  • If she was Anorexic, she wouldn't be able to dance and move because of energy, think before you say anything.

  • @sneath1000 she recorded this herself.

  • I think this young lady is amazing she is epicly awesome!

    but that dance seemed very old for her age almost to the point that I was creeped out, if she was a few years older I would be fine but shes only 12

    but it is great choregraphy

  • ok people...shes 12 and a lot of 12 year olds who work out like this are super skinny. Lets stop bashing her for her weight and appreciate her amazing dance skills

  • amazing dancer i love this piece

  • if its a high metabolism, then hey youre an amazing dancer, but i honestly am worried that there may be a deeper problem than that and i know i shouldnt judge but youre a little bit thinner than a healthey weight. if you eat right, then thats great! but if you have an eating dissorder, i wanna let you know that you would look healthier and still very very thin if you gained some weight(:

    im sorry and i mean that in the nicest and most helpful way possble.

    god bless and you rock

  • Is the camera man retarded ??? Hmm ???

  • who's singer/??

  • she recorded this "song" herself

  • what's this song????

  • she recorded it herself

  • Comment removed

  • Her dancing is so beautiful, ive never seen such intent and determination on her face.

    The clapping bothered me tho, there wasnt enough.

    Beautiful tho :)

  • some people just have that kind of matabalism idiots.. so they just are skinny even if they eat a lot.. god thats why there dancers stupids because there body type is thin and long legged..

  • I love the choeography, it works really well with the music......and amazing dancing!!

    What is the music?

  • okay, i don't think people unserstand just because shes skinny doesnt mean she is sick, most dancers are really skinny!

  • This choreography is really interesting...and her dancing is awesome! :)

  • she is brilliant

  • haha she goes to my studio! she eats donuts, cookies, and a bunch of junk all the time! She eats like crazy shes just thin and trains very hard which makes her keep weight off. you guys are losers.

  • She goes to my studio too! haha we must go to the same studio.

  • hahaha! kate this is kristen!

  • haha oh hey!!! lol wonderful

  • No! Haha not this costume! i meant the SHATTERED costume! hah sorrry!

  • SHE'S PHENOMONAL. I think I spelled that wrong. Oh well, she's seriously amazing.

  • I wish that people would pay attention to her incredible dance skills, rather than the size of her body.

    Calling her annerexic is just as bad as commenting on someones weight when they are obese or over weight.

    I am a dancer and a lot of girls that dance are real skinny.

    It is because of the way we train.

    It is a lot easier to move when you are skinny.

  • anybody know what this song is?

  • maybe she hasnt hit puberty yet, hell i'm 21 and weigh 95 pounds, i can eat more than my brother(and keep it down), and i've had 2 babies... some people are just born thin... like how some are born well...normal, leave the poor girl alone remember that 70% of all dancers do not have a disorder

  • i dont think that she has an eating disorder but there is defiantly something going on.

  • where did you get your costume? Or how did you make it?

  • black sports bra and booty shorts

    you can get both at wallmart or target for at most $20 all together

  • haaha ik thats right

  • She might not have an eating disorder, but something is going on. I can't even watch this.

  • theres NO way she could be anorexic , dancing requires a lot of energy that food gives you and if she's this good then she obviously eats . its just the way her body is , i had a similar build when i was her age and ate tons . i filled out a little bit as i got older . plus , look at her friggen muscles

  • I don't think people should be talking about her because we don't know her life, but I will disagree with you on saying that there's no way a dancer could be anorexic -- there's a stat that says about 30% of professional dancers have anorexia and bulimia. Dance, running, gymnastics, skating and other sports all have high percentages of women suffering from eating disorders. It's very common. In our dance studio all but 2 of 15 girls in our senior class had eating disorders. Just saying.

  • um, yeah. my best friend is an amazing dancer and she knows a lot of anorexic people that dance. usually their instructors make them be this way.

  • all of you who are complaining about how skinny she are probably just jealous cuz your not :]

  • nope, she's annerexic or almost annerexic. I would never want to be that skinny

  • @dance235amf just shut up you dont know how many hours she trains a weeks!!

  • @meimeiWo3 I don't doubt she trains for many ours everyday and I don't have anywhere close to as much technique as she has, but I just think it's so sad how much pressure there is on dancers nowadays to be super skinny.

  • @PDCrocks95 Okay, she is an amazing dancer. But she is TOO thin. I know people who naturally are that skinny. The way you know its natural is by looking at their elbows and knees. When the elbows and knees look THAT fucked up - as in, they look like they're popping out, and when the person moves it looks like the joints are going to pop out of place- then you know that it ISN'T natural. SHE IS ANOREXIC, AND I'VE BEEN AROUND DANCE FOREVER, AND USE TO DANCE, TRUST ME I KNOW.

  • @undiscoveredrocker94 ok. she's not too thin. just because your thin built (unlike you probs.) doesnt mean your anorexic! just leave her alone! your ust jealous because you arent as good as her or as thin and in shape as her. lay off

  • this was really interesting! i loved the modern/contemporary style of this dance! i cant even begin to talk about my frustration with the weight comment. who are all of you to judge her like this cause i just dont think that it's fair to her to call her anorexic when you don't even know her.

  • then don't watch it!

  • Some of you act as though you've never seen a skinny person before. If she is eating properly there's nothing to worry about.

  • who sings this and whats the name of it  :)

  • im a dancer and im very skinny that doesnt mean i am anorexic... does it?

    NOPEE :)

  • she's a dancer. dancers burn TONS of calories while dancing, and if you look closely at her torso and legs during her dances, you can see MUSCLE, not just bones.

  • she isn't anorexic! shes a gorgeous amazing dancer! yes she's skinny, but dancers do need to be fit in order to dance well. And guess what she dances amazingly so her bodies fine just shut up cuz imagine if u were her and came on here and u had to read these hurful comments.

  • Comment removed

  • can anyone tell me who this song is by?? Im just curious.

  • she is really skinny... but she's only 12 so she probably hasn't hit puberty yet. i'll check back when she's 18 and if she still looks like that, then i'll be concerned about her weight

  • haha so she´s not skinny, then?

    of course she is, maybe it´s the way her body is, and that´s alright... but she is skinny

  • okay people we all know she is skinny.

    but she is absolutely amazing at dancing.

    so just leave her alone. she cant help the way her body was built. GREAT JOB!

  • she's going to be incredible

  • the ong scares me a lil lol but good job!

  • with her age and how much she prob. trains a week.. its no wonder how skinny she is!!

  • she really is skinny, but in a way it's quite beautiful. like she is a fairy of some sort.

  • just leave her alone about bieng skinny

    its not like thats a bad thing and how does it affect you if shes skinny or nott

    usually on these things your susposed to comment on her dancing not her appearance

  • Yes she is skinny! But she is deff healhy cause you can see her muscles from so far away!

    She is an amazing dancer!

  • too skinny

  • what dance studio do you take at? your amazing!

  • If your calling her average, then me who thought i was average, now i think im a hippo if you think that is average! she is skinnny as beep!!! hahaha.

  • does anyone know what this song is called?

  • well donee. but i think you need to try and work on keeping your knees/legs parallel when you plea they tend to turn in. but other than that you are a well trained dancer for your age. : )

  • i must say i disagree. i don't think she's too skinny, but i definitely don't think she is average size for a dancer. maybe a ballerina, but at my studio, none of the girls are this skinny.

  • i don't think she's too skinny, though. i just said that. she's a gorgeous dancer.

  • this is a creepy song! hahahah =) but who cares because you are an awsome dancer!

  • brava davvero! ma fa paura..è magrissima ò.ò

  • btw, i really hate it when people comment on this giving her technical "adive" and whatnot.

    SHE DOESNT NEED IT FROM YOU.

    she obviously has a pretty good teacher, and shes obviously working on it.

    before you correct her, i want to see that YOU can do what she does.

  • Well said!!!

  • i don't think people are trying to correct her but just give her constructive critisism. If i was as good as her I would love to here what other people say about my dance and hope they correct me, i would want to excell as much as possible

  • i dont think you understand. a lot of these people act like they know what they are talking about, when they actually dont, and cannot dance nearly as well as she can. and there is also no reason for her to have people on here criticizing her when she is adready working on (and aware of) the minor things that everyone is saying.

  • yeah, shes skinny...

    but shes also 12...

  • the music is actually her reciting a poem. she told me.

  • the music is actually her reciting a poem. she told me.

  • long legs don't always necessarily make u a better dancer...

    but she's still amazing.

  • she is WAY too skinny...

    she is an incredible dancer but I just can't see where she comes up with all that strenght, she's all bones!

  • amazing!!!!! i wish i had her legs i mean there so long it just makes her a better dancer :)

  • who sings this song? please?

  • gos she's only 12 u guys plus she is tall..i was the same way..u can be skinny & healthy

  • Great solo.

  • she's great! every move is so clean. perfect dancer's body. i'm really feeling this dance. good job girl!

  • Ricky is on staff at WCDE

  • maybe like email the guy?

    haha idkk

  • dont ask me... i want it too haha

  • if you go to page 4 in the comments it says the song was make personally for her by ricky marcilino

  • i agree!

  • she needs to eat something

  • Ya know normally when people leave those comments, they are being mean. Bu I hve to agree with you. She is the thinnest dancer i have ever seen. A very great dancer, but scary skinny.I really hope she is just built that way, but i don't know.

  • this song gives me chills....it scares me but its definitely an amazing storyline for a dance :]

  • So good. I love it :)Anyone know what this song is?

  • she is amazin :)

    but she is too skinny x

  • By the way its a Wonderful dance.

    I think she is good no matter what other people say.

    I wish i was super skinny though. :O

  • What is this Song, Or story type thing Called? D:

    Its driving me insane to know!

  • her hands bug me... they seem awkward. but she's really good.

  • wonderful technique, yes.. but i feel like she doesn't put any soul into her movement. its just like blah. she goes through them, but there is not heart to it.

  • how old is she here?

  • she reminds me of kourtni lind.

  • what city is this from? and what did she place?

  • nice legs...super long and strong. ur great!

  • She didnt copy denay's costume. this costume is usually worn in dances where they want you to pay more attention to the dance moves, the lyricals and the soul. many dramatic inspirational dances use this costume.

  • um how do you copy black bra and booty shorts? it's not orignal. hello.

  • She is an amazing talented dancer. I love watching her. The music was a little weirdish, but other than that it was good.

  • I think your riiiiiiiiight.

    haha

  • how could she have copied someones costume its just a plain half top and shorts a lot of ppl were it dramatic dances

  • yourdancechannel please tell me the name of the song! or if she recorded it like Bailey did in Baileys Dance. thank you!

  • ashley! that was so good! she's so talented and super sweet!

  • who is this song by???? i cant find it!!!!

  • this song was created for ashley by ricky marcilino

  • do u kno if there any way to get it? i would really like to use it for a drama for my church. its perfect.

  • U can contact ricky himself

  • thats awesome! did she get it personally made for her?

  • YAYY ASHLEY!!!

    she's got great things ahead of her. keep it up girl! =]

  • that feeling

  • she's amazing

  • shes amazing

    this dance kind of reminds me of erica bernardi's thought proccess solo

  • Good dancer, but just really skinny, ew.

  • great control

  • I love ballerinas... xoxo

  • Some dancers are THIN, but that doesn't mean they are not HEALTHY.

  • hey dance channel!!

    i did my solo at starpower and i got a platinum and a 1at place trophy in m category but in the top ten dancers i got 5th place.. am i still allowed to send my video in??

    please answer back :)

  • Of course you can send us your video! But first you should send us a private message for more details.

  • Yay thanks!!

    Will do! :)

    I will send you a message this week!

    thanks :)

  • I know her personally and she's naturally skinny... And a very sweet girl!

  • I will try to find some videos of Ashley at other competitions soon.

  • u can also find Ashley on kar web nov. 2007 phx az summetime interm group

  • i did not mean any harm, its just a sad thing when dancers are told to loose weight, i had it happen to me and it is not a pleasant feeling.

  • she is very very good but i hope they dont promote weight loss where she dances bc she is very skinny

  • thats just the way dancers usually are..im sure they dont

  • im sorry,

    but there are LOTS of dancers who are really skinny. AND ITS NORMAL!

    dancers work alot and they burn alot.

    some people just have bodies like that

  • i keep coming back to watch this... she's REALLY REALLY AMAZING!!! especially for only being 12 :)

  • I think she is going to be very tall two years from now...her feet are huge. Just like her potential! :-)

  • i lovee ashley! she is so nice and amazingg!

  • That studio does do other types of competition dance besides ballet, but they have an excellent ballet program and that is what most dancers take.

  • Actually, they aren't really. Maybe you think that because she has thin legs.

  • she doesnt look 12 but she is grrrreat!!!

  • its kinda like thought process by erica bernardi

    but shes still really good

  • haha i was thinking thee exact same thing

  • really good, gorgeous girl and dancer. the song kept me very interested in the dance! I like it

  • wow shes amazing!!!

  • did she arrive 1st?

  • Yes, 1st Overall Junior solos :)

  • i`m not a fan of the song, but she is amzing!

  • wow she is good!
