Why Lyrical Dance

[MsJonaslover123]

@IndigoCat17 what kind of ballet are u doing??? Lol :)

[IndigoCat17]

How old is she,she is really good!!

[IndigoCat17]

Lyrical is so much like Ballet

why did they call it Lyrical

when it's ballet??

[joannasxxx]

@IndigoCat17 lyrical you put so much nmore feeling into it and you can brake some of the rules of ballet it is more free, ballet is a much more specific dance

[Moodyo0]

Did you create this dance yourself? Either way I am AMAZED! Could you give a few tips on dancing and how to make a dance flow :)

[vivianmari]

i was realy impressed and rather fascinated with your armmovements strong and elegant at the same time, something thats often lacking in a lot of videos. Its like they dance with their lower body only if ya get me.

I enjoyed watching this very much :) also loved when you put more acting into it and played of the lyrics (this stuff is really hard to explain so im sorry if its not coming across well).

[xxloverrxx44]

you are ahmazing(:

[leanne3698]

Right foot dominant. Too obvious.

[ChanShelly]

Very pretty :)

You might want to work on straightening your working leg in your fouettes, though.

[dancera94]

It was really quite good but maybe work on your choreography some. The fouettes, jumps, and pirouettes were all really great, but when you weren't doing a trick the dancing was kind of repetitive and boring. Try new transitions and try to conceal your preparations before the turns. Your dancing is really strong and you could be really great!

[dancelover0908]

do you have to be really flexable to do lyrical?

[funsizedbaybeexx3]

not necessarily, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt work on it.

[ollie0seirra]

no but it sort of helps

[dancelover0908]

how long have you been dancing your amazing

[ScientificoPiano]

That was so good! I wish I was that flexible! I can't even do the splits. And the turns! I can't even do a triple! The best turn I've ever done was at dress rehearsal (of course, instead of at recital =P) and it was a double turn, two fouettes, and a 3/4 turn with my leg extended out to the side.

You were phenomenal! Any tips on turning?! 5 stars & I'll subscribe.

[imondarize]

well i naturally have a strong core...

i would say hold your core/center tight, have each placement, such as arms, leg, shoulders in the correct place and make sure to spot...

spotting is probly the most important thing :]

[ScientificoPiano]

Hey, thanks!! I'll use that advice!

[imondarize]

anytime :]

hope all goes well :))

[tetebabiii]

OMG...where do I start....

that was just mind blowing and I am schocked that so much power can come out of someone so young......

keep up the good work "Ranbow"<--- lol thats a really cute name

[llaurenn301]

lovve the song. whats it called?

[DancingQueensForLife]

it's called why

i think

[ILoveSwimming77]

wow! that was amazing... i am a dancer and I know whats it is like being on stage and that it can be frightening and fun and hard! especially when dancing alone you did great. I bet you got high gold or platnom good job!

[nicktomato7]

I think you're a phenomenal dancer. There are a lot of times when you can see the emotion come through in your dancing. However, I think that when a dance is so filled with trashy, ugly tricks it ruins it. It's not your fault. But since you were given all those tricks, it's your job to make them as beautiful as the real dancing going on.

[Mocmocs]

Your amazing! and it looks like your focusing more on hitting your technique than feeling the music. If you can do both you will be perfect.

[Vaagen483]

Omg, she is so good, and so young! :D

[tiana985296]

this was beautiful, girl! i love seeing such great talent at such a young age. i can tell you are going to go so far. good luck with everything you do and keep up with the beautiful dancing!!

[ginilee]

You've got the talent, now you need to own that stage. Put a little more feeling into it and you'll be great!

[cityshoplove]

Beautiful Costume! What did you recieve for this number?

[love4makeup7]

work on ur placement and turns just a little helper hint :)

[imondarize]

thank you.  I will ;}

[XxparisexX]

[cuteannabanana]

[cuteannabanana]

[YouAreMyMusical]

You have excellent turns. I can see why there are so many in your dance, you are amazing at them. Just remember to milk every movement for all it's worth. Overall I loved this dance though. You are quite a good dancer. Keep it up. :)

[imondarize]

thanks

[artballettino]

very fantastic

[imondarize]

thanks

[imondarize]

Hi this is Alisha. Thank you so much for all of your comments. I love dance, and I am so happy to hear you like this dance. I know I need to improve and I think I have. I hope to have my latest dances on youtube soon. LOL ItzShorty =]

[jjdancers3]

this is soo awesome! =]

[imondarize]

thank you {}}--%--

[OhItsErika]

You need to remember to spot on your turns, but other than that you turns are very nice.

[jjdancers3]

she spots her turns! this is beautiful!

[imondarize]

Thanks =]

[imondarize]

thank you. i do lose my spot from time to time. I'm working on it.

[zyvoukuh]

beautiful!!!! keep dancing

[imondarize]

Thank you =]

[brendaxrawr]

alisha is amazing!!!

[imondarize]

Thank you. you're amazing too =]

[shanirideshorsesss]

it doesnt matter how long you take lessons its how hard you work. i haven't even taken for a year and i can do that.

[michellelaureen]

the song is called "Why" by Annie Lennox

[littledancergurl08]

Alisha is soo good!!

[imondarize]

Thank you =]

[AmberMade]

there are some beautiful moves in there.

check out AmberMade channel - about dance, and all things girls do best

[shanirideshorsesss]

how do you do :42?

[shanirideshorsesss]

OMG THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

[ChuckleBunny]

wonderful technique

[stareyes2]

how the hell did she do those spins to end up on the floor?

[stareyes2]

well done :)

[Sveedle]

Wonderful dance!

To comment on her having little to no facial expressions:

She is young and will develop more facial expressions and emotion into her dancing as she grows.

Keep up the good work, chic. :)

[epidemicfire07]

o...m...g... i wish i could turn like that!

[Cari666]

nice control coming out of the turns... but they were a little over done.

[XxDemiliciousxX]

I lovw watching this dance, she has so much potential and talent. Her turns are enviable.

[purpleklipse]

oh people stop being SO critical. First off, dance is an EXPRESSION. She did a lovely job. And, her turns and her center are better than many adult dancers. Better than anyone I ever danced with! Wonderful job, girlie!

[sarah20xoxo]

what i just noticed is that your body looked kind of stiffened and maybe if you loosened it up and let go then you would have had more power. maybe it was nerves? you have alot of potential

[sarah20xoxo]

wow. beautiful dancing.

maybe show some more connection with the music. let yourself go.

but wow. it was a very beautiful dance.

[sweetypie2856]

Oh my freaking gosh!! You are sooooooo amazing. Please try out for SYTYCD!!!!!

[ITzShorty15]

i might :) -shorty/imondarize

[eyefordance]

She's a good dancer but she doesn't have any facial expresssions.

[missjes96]

she kind of has sad facial expressions because thats what type of song that she is dancing too

[SUMM3R1OVIN]

what song it this?

[xaloy1234]

i think you are really great!!!

[UpperEastSideDancer]

your great, just make dure you lock your knees is extension, they sometimes look bent

[principessadance24]

great dance and emotion for your age.. just one comment i would make is to make sure that you really hit that 90 degree in your relevee and fouhette turns all the way around instead of just whipping it out... but otherwise ... GREAT DANCE!

[Aquanine]

well u do need some work on ur balance but you are young and i enjoyed this a lot better than many other dances b/cuz i could feel your passion when u dance and that's what it's really all about..great job.

[mpud14]

very good !

just work on the spotting of your head on your turns.

otherwise amazing.

[crzy4mulans]

dont listen to when people say "WORK ON YOUR FACIALS!!" cuz they know nothing about lyrical dance...lyrical dance is dancing from the inside out, so if somebody says WORK ON YOUR FACIALS for a lyrical dance...that means they know little about dance, its not just about cheezy smiling...especially not to this song, technique is great and you look like you mean it...as you grow you'll have more meaning in the movement you do...NEVER FAKE IT!!

[horsechica465]

wow you are definatly going to go far!

[kalizZzle]

Movement is beautiful.

But you have no facials.

[danceee27]

wow, you're good.

you look like, 10 years old.

just work on your face a little bittt.

you're a great dancer though.

=]

[lipingvong]

you dance very maturely for your age.

keep up the great work!

[Katielikessprinkles]

Your an amazing dancer!

Like... seriously... AMAZING!

Just put a little more emotion into it and you'll be famous one day =)

[figuresk8ter8]

your turns are increadible!

[ferlicius]

is it just about turning in most of your dance [which I've seen in youtube]?

[dirtypoon99]

so beautiful!

[jackerzsnackerz]

absoulutly beautiful turning!

unbelievably amazing!

great job!!

[maraj021]

Your technique and turns are developing well,just try to feel the mood of the lyrics and express that emotion through your dance,and let your moves flow continously so it feels more flowing from your soul as you perform the choreography rather than just doing certain moves on a phrase of music. you're going to be a good dancer if you keep it up!

[ModernSlyDancer]

you are a good dancer and your control on your turns are amazing. but can you try to dance more? i mean with putting in more dance moves then just turns and let it come from the heart. then your dancing will be truly amazing. i mean you are amazing now but it will top it

[ajustine8907]

BEAUTIFUL dance!

[caitlyncharteris]

you have great potential, keep it up nice attitude, remember to enjoy yourselff!!

[xXxp0zedbutter]

GREAT dancer..WOW..GREAT..seriously.­

[Anadance]

[swingforthefence]

[untrazeable]

[apcomc]

[dAncerrrr101]

your technique is really good

and your dancing is good

but you do look very bored

[xOdaNcer96]

ur amazing...

[Addicted2Dance315]

she looks bored as heck

[claymate15]

lyrical is just like ballet come on why do they call it that if it's axactally like ballet

[xOdaNcer96]

actually........Lyrical is a mix of Ballet AND JAZZ!!! just think about it.....

[claymate15]

lyrical is just like ballet come on why do they call it that if it's axactally like ballet

[Abrfitch1892]

two different styles buddy.....

[xOdaNcer96]

u are so right.....what was that girl talkin about .lol..

[xkobie]

im in love.

[Brennenk111]

You were dancing the choreography instead of performing the movement. You should also apply the usage of breath throughout all movement. Very good emotion for such a young age. Congrats!!!

[christanuss88]

she was holding back

[nerdyballerina10]

good technique at a young age. just need some more time for the rest to come.

[miblacktea]

your technique is very good. just need to dance with more emotion and you'll be outstanding :)

[pashion4dance]

omfg. i was here!!!!!! when you danced thiss!!! crazyyyy shiit!

[xxkuriousrenxx]

i loved this :)

[shaylamarie23]

For some reason i didnt really like it? I dont know it was probably just the song.. cause your not a bad dancer AT ALL. I just found myself with a hand on my cheek watching it.. Ah dont listen to me you are a great dancer ahahah.

[charmeddancer211]

This girl is insane! Her pirouettes are amazing! What was that like 12 at the beginning and then like 20 at the end. Her leaps are stellar too! Although I have to say, the choreography is amazing and she executes it phenomenally, but there's not very much life in her movement. Like not alot of spark, spirit, zest... I'm not sure what word I'm looking for.

[kwd630]

beautiful turns, but you're lacking emotion

[dancinmegs39]

work on not bringing up ur shoulder on ur turns

[kileyx0]

work on really dancing fromt the heart. you have really good performance but you lose it sometimes. also in your fouettes make sure you really hit that turned-out retirre position. other than that nice job!

[theblackballerina]

wooww!!!

amazing girl, amazing dance!

[ecrdancer]

you have really good technique.

work on your transition from one move to another though.

[BLGLOVERR]

shes amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[hawilicious7]

wow that was beautiful youre amazing

[DLTcutie24]
