Contemporary Dancer - Nicole Knudson

[LilasRose1973]

Skinny yeah so what she is healthy and that's what matters not everyone has same body type. Judges are seeing a lot of emotion when she dances she's good.

[coolretro80s]

I hate it when skinny people try to defend someone who clearly has an eating disorder and then somehow make it about themselves. WELL guess what bitches IM HELLA SKINNY TOO. and this dancer doesn't look HEALTHY. she looks emaciated and her face is sunken in. I couldn't focus on her dancing cause of her abnormal skinny body. ARE PEOPLE BLIND ESPECIALLY THE ONES SAYING THEY ARE NATURALLY SKINNY B/C I AM AND THIS IS NOT WHAT I LOOK LIKE!!!

[Powerballet98]

Yes she's thin but she also has muscles, I'm naturally skinny as well and its not some sort of disease just bc your thinner.

[PaidPal]

Looks to me like their real purpose of dance is to win another crappy TV show, some of you see "passion", I see "showing off - gaga style".

[onelove0122]

okay everyone needs to disregard her body type, focus on the dancing, because it was magnificent.

[jojay1ful]

It was really beautiful but she was so skinny it kept on distracting me! D:

[dgdancebabie]

thats fucking passion.

[jamesaphine]

the vid is about dance not weight....some a yall shud keep your weight comments and focus on the purpose of the video...that will be all x

[alvenfairy]

She is so amazing I've watch this video so many times and I can't stop. Someone knows the name of the song she's dancing? thank you

[dancefreak1025]

haha Tyce's face at the end! she's fierce

[TheSHlRTS]

That's just strange how such a skinny girl can be such a beautiful dancer...

[SHAYisTHAshit]

i couldnt watch her...waaaaay to skinny...i feel bad but it grooses me out

[Dracontiar]

I guess this is what happens when you take a naturally slender girl, and then make sure all her body weight is converted in to whipcord muscle. *shrug* That's the assumption I'm going with. In any case, it makes her sharp and angular, which makes her interesting to watch because her dancing style fits that perfectly.

[soyuncatacol]

I have no problem with her weight, I just find her hairpiece(?) and the headphone things to be distracting.

[love2dance4ever10]

She's a great dancer, but looks so frail! She's very strong, though. Her thigh muscle definition is INSANE!

[shekinahlioness]

Yea she's skinny but that don't mean something wrong with her. I am naturally skinny. I eat a whooooole looot yet I don't gain weight so easily but I am very healthy and an extremely strong dancer. I guess it's just a high metabolism along with genes. Sometimes I wish and desperately try hard to gain weight but it doesn't happen so easily. So this is a comment for those of you who are inoocently wondering and also for those who are hatin.

[678hurt]

she is good but wayyyyyy tooooo skinny

[ajiemouse]

she is good.... but tooooo skinny.....

[JonnCakez]

does any one know the song?

[axelazaid]

@JonnCakez Portishead-The Rip....awesome song.

[Punkiiization]

Yea, uh... so does anyone know the name of this song??

[karentr75]

it's actually really upsetting to watch this; she looks like she has a serious eating disorder (and I mean that with kindness). Really looks serious here. Can't be a strong dancer like this. :( And she is definitely good. I wonder what happened to her?

[melinabanana]

@karentr75 indeed even though you said that "with kindness" it's not kind at all..

[karentr75]

@melinabanana : I understand where you are coming from Melinabanana, but my point is that I'm concerned for her. If she doesn't bulk up she risks seriously injuring herself as a dancer. I find it hard to believe that someone could be this skinny "naturally." I want to know what became of her and her health. Companies, unless told otherwise (i.e., that she does not have an eating disorder) would shy away from her.

[melinabanana]

@karentr75 I hope you didn't take that as an "attack" because it wasn't.

And I understand what you're saying and it's very very true.

I just meant that if you know someone with and eating disorder, telling that person " oooh..you're sooo super skinny/fat" or " you're great BUT do you have issues with your body?" will NOT help them. on the contrary !

[melinabanana]

@melinabanana

but again, I'm not blaming you or whatever cause you only said true things. I know people with fast metabolism and they do not look like this dancer. they look healthier. but we never know.. I really hope she's fine.

[orangesodify]

@karentr75 lots of ppl are naturally this skinny. it isnt right to automatically judge her and assume she's at risk for hurting herself. she's fine and anyone who dances is at risk for getting hurt no matter what their size,life of a dancer

[drew10wwe]

her hands are orange its wierd

[yummypenguin615]

she looks way to unhealthy skinny

[breekwhal]

Wow. She's such an inspiration. I'm naturally skinny and I always felt insecure about my size when i danced. But she looks beautiful.

[peacheslovesjesus]

They make it look sooooo easy. NOT. 99% gift from GOD, the rest blood, sweat and joyful tears. To GOD be the glory.

[CassSmiles]

she probably can't help that she's skinny. I know people skinnier than her who hate it and would kill to be like 135 pounds

[Tuneitupp]

how far did she make it

[drama917queen]

good dancing....she should still eat a cupcake. or lettuce at least.

[yummypenguin615]

@drama917queen more like a burger!

[DanceAddict11]

her turns are amazing, so much control!

[Twilightsagachix97]

beautiful. buttttt all skin and bone.

[Takilla2]

oh the hair... why!?

[igohardinthekitchen]

Song is "the rip" by portishead for those asking :)

[Astrathiul]

I don't mind her being so skinny, some people are just naturally like that, but her HAIR...now that thing just scared me... :S

[highoffwaffles]

"Dancers come in all shapes in sizes"

You know, that doesn't only apply to heavier dancers :/ Everybody's a critic...

[tumblegurl259]

i think i should take her to mc donalds and dairy queen.

[jboy4493]

Well I think it's great. 

[erictheactorlynch]

jeez. her body is so gross and disturbingly skinny, its distracting to the dance. seriously, start eating some cheeseburgers or something.

[Broadwaydancer666]

Look at her dancing and quit focusing on her weight. If she weighed 160 #'s everyone would be saying how great she is...

[mariLUVSdance]

Hey Guys, I just wanted to say that i am a dancer, I am 5'5 and 105 pounds. It's always been hard on me accepting myself as a dancer this skinny, because GUESS WHAT, being this skinny isnt as awesome as people want to think it is. In the dance world people are super concious of your weight, and personally i think the best dancers have more mass on them. But despite my awkwardness... i am healthy. and i dont appreciate people saying she cant be because i know some people are just born thin.

[Takilla2]

@mariLUVSdance No ones actually saying she can't dance because she's so skinny... They are saying it is distracting, because it is. It's just hard to appreciate the lines in her dancing, and she is obviously talented. Also I don't know why you have said 'being this skinny isn't as awesome as people think it is' as everyone's comments have been about how she would look better with more weight...

[MakeupTeen94]

she cant be healthy when shes that skinny.

[flaubertfan82]

She looks unhealthily skinny.

[WingDing94]

song name?

[kaymack01]

she's an amazing dancer, and when you focus on her dancing you can see the strength and technique there.

but i have to agree with the majority, kinda. she is very skinny, but skinny does not always mean she's starving herself or whatever. but this just doesn't look skinny, its borderline unhealthy :s

[americanreject42]

eat.

[bearof10]

She is very thin.

But you dont get good muscle tone like she has by starving yourself.

It is her body type.

and, I think she is amazing

[GLOSSIPGIRLS154]

anyone know the song?

[sammiemyboo]

i literally cry everytime i watch this.....beautiful. thanks to whoever uploaded this.

[tjferni]

She needs to eat.

[fleshtheworld]

Nice nice. Shes not that skinny, just tone.

[IllAlwaysDance]

contemporary dancers shift better through the space with a tiny bit of weight on them, She'd make a perfect ballerina though

[alphacanis]

Love her style.

[sweetcoolfunny671]

get dome meat on those bonse your ahir

[narutofan913]

What's this song name?

[OMGitsSydneeNicole]

holy skinny !

[f7rouge]

I loved her movement and I think it worked great for her. I think she's extraordinary.

[SDABdance]

does the camera rlly add 10lbs?!?!

[SixLuckyDays]

she's just too skinny i couldn't focus on the dancing

[TheDestinyCard]

Dude.. you think her being that skinny would bother you..... but in a way it add's to her dance. it's like she is three different dancers that are in one body switching back and forth.... pretty great..

[lLoveGreen]

I feel like her skinniness adds to the performance in a positive manner

[godisno11]

I can't focus on her dancing...she's just too skinny

[tycheng]

@godisno11 then you need too... Because what she is giving is way more then a lot of people on that show

[missdarcy1202]

@godisno11 I agree. Though she has a great technic, she doesn't look healthy at all.

[STFUcareface]

@godisno11 its because of her metabolism that she's so skinny. when you train as hard as a dancer.... your metabolism is incredible.

[yellowdot1100]

@godisno11 and pale

[cherylsteller]

@yellowdot1100 So what, it's her natural color. Would you rather have her risk skin cancer to make herself more appealing to people she does'nt know?

[yellowdot1100]

@cherylsteller ok i said she was pale i didn't say it was a bad thing so check yourself before you yell at some body and that dosent make her any less amazing now dos it so shut up

[cherylsteller]

@yellowdot Check myself? Please. If you didn't mean to be negative about it maybe you should have said so in the first place. I never said a thing about her not being amazing and I certainly didn't yell. Also, shut up? Are you in junior high?

[yellowdot1100]

@cherylsteller everybody says shut up its 2011 and i dnt have to say i wsnt being negative you take it how you take it im DONE coversation is OVER

[MiekyXangelface]

@godisno11 I agree... I immediately thought of her being a model, not only because she's skinny, but also the way she looks at the camera makes me think so, Not that it's a problem though, what do you think?

[phoenix1237spoken]

@godisno11 Saying someone is to skinny is just as rude as saying someone is fat, we all have different body types and while there is a health concern that is her responsibility and not your place to judge. I hope she is healthy but its not my place to comment either. I respect your opinion but in the future you should try to focus on the dancing and not the weight of the person performing

[criscnk1]

@godisno11 it's true..

[DrinkingRainbows4eva]

She looks like the roadrunner. But I love it!!

[Parawhore34]

does anyone kno this song??

[f7rouge]

@Parawhore34 The Rip by Portishead

[michiko11525]
