this girl taught my ballet class tonight. and i didnt realize it was her until i got home and my friend told me and i felt so stupid because i was really off tonight.
wow!! she was just flowing true all her movements, and her turns were very nice and soft. Her balance was very good and she also had the little expressions on her face which were so real! nice.
she had amazing technique. i've seen alot of amazing technicaly dancers with not great emotion and flow of the arms, but she had both technique and performance. it was great.
Oh yeah, she can't dance at all... I mean, considering she was Miss Dance of Michigan, and went on to become Miss Dance of America and all, she didn't have to go through audition classes, in jazz, tap, ballet, and acro, or the interview, she didn't get 1st Place in Jazz and Tap... I mean, she's just horrible right?
Not so much. And she doesn't just do pirouettes and things to do with flexibility.
And I would agree with everyone other than myself who has already commented. SHE IS AMAZING.
Your a wonderful dancer, you have good control on your turns and good emotion through out. stunning girl you have talent and beautiful costume to suit it! lost for words
(This is the second part of my comment) She is very lovely, and this really opened my mind a little to the fact that there are actually competition dancers that have a quality level of artistry (It is my opinin that showmanship and artistry are two different things) She posseses both, and I'm very glad I saw this video.
I personally dislike the way that most compitition dancers place a huge emphasis largely on tricks. The tricks in this were certainly well executed, but what most took me aback is the ease and care she pays to transitions between the tricks.
That's my Ashley Shaw. Hell yes Miss Dance of American 2007 (and always my Miss Dance of Michigan 2006). You are amazing Ashley Shaw. For the record, I know this girl very well.
Awww, that was very beautiful. Your ballet really shines through and you have a wonderful stage presence. Good luck in all your future dance. You seem to love it and that makes such a difference.
oh my goodness! she is amazing! the dance didnt look pushed at all, it flowed prfectly all the way through! she was so light and delicate on her feet! absolutely amazing! kudos.
