this dance is dedicaced to all gay, lesbian and transgendered people who are going through a difficult time. Remember that who you are is amazing and there don't need to be any explanations or justifications for you way of life. It in not something that you became... It is something that you always were and always will be ...

One of the most beautiful words ever tell the world ...

[princesswarrior98]

I think that weather ur gay or not nobody should be judged on who they like and everybody who judges people on that r also bullying others so what's this all about and boys can dance and still be straight so stop criticizing!!!

[Tammy4035]

it was ok

[ethelwalkerlives]

what a hot mess.

[FameGirl728]

I know I am going to get so much hate but I feel like I need to explain this. I believe in God. I also believe that God loves everybody and wants everyone to go to heaven. I also believe that Homosexual people cannot enter heaven. So if God created everyone, loves everyone and wants them to go to heaven, why would he create a homosexual baby. I strongly believe that people are not born gay.

[dianisi]

@FameGirl728

I'm agree with u.. actually in the Bible says... God loves the sinners but not the sin

so yeah... we as a christians dont need to judge we have to love but we also have to share the truth and thats the truth .. God make us .. girls with boys... and boys with girls.

[fhtwins1113]

@dianisi but if god loves you so much and wants you to be happy, why cant he just accept if someone is not straight? why would he "create" a gay person if it is such a crime? im not trying to be rude or seem mean but i would actually like to know how you view this!

[kimmi5247]

@FameGirl728 well they can be i beileve its quite possible

[NcOnUt]

@FameGirl728

honestly.. i want you to be my best friend right now

[Sshoorti]

the girl with the blue socks is an amazing dancer. She is amazing.

[KMOgymnast]

thats mean

[bbooboo]

I'm getting tired of having to bend over backwards to accommodate the gay community. It's getting old. It's all I ever hear about anymore. It's like being gay is the new straight.

[dazzlingdancer14]

tutorial PLEAAASEE!

[xxSDVdancer101xx]

WERKKK!!!:D

[mrastropiggy]

@11azr Pffttt!! And who are YOU to judge?

[ccs3117]

i go to broadway dance center in ny. cool i loved the leaps and the freestyle pirouettes

[Corissica]

THAT IS JUST SO GAY WHY YOU GUYS EVEN DOING THAT IF U AINT GAY THEN DONT DO IT IF YOU ARE THEN THAT IS JUST SO RETARDED SO SO GAY IT DISGUSTED ME

[WolvenDragon]

@Corissica Haven't you ever heard women love a man who can dance? And that some women take how well a man can dance as an implication of how good he is in bed ^_^? Last week I was at a bar with a male friend who's a great solo dancer and first thing after he finished dancing one song a girl came up and told him she had made a bet with her friends that she would dance with him before the end of the night.

Keep doing what you do and have fun. It looks awesome.

[missfizzyj]

1:08 look hoiw high that guy can jump

[lmdance2497]

girl in red socks is amazing!!



[lmdance2497]

girl in red shorts is amazing!!

[yaymidget]

Though in the old testiment God does have people executed for being gay or lesbian he abhors it, he also loves his children, they refused to repent with sacrifice of an animal or what not. After Jesus died everyone can be forgiven, He loved everybody, so anyone being rude about it because of their sexual orientation shame on you. If you are "religious" you were taught not to judge others, that is not your place and to love your neighbor.

[dmitrigarcia]

I read the posts but I think alot of people misunderstood what you were trying to share Derek. I think you you simply meant to share joy and a sense of good. Thanks.

[dmitrigarcia]

[WackyJakie]

i danced to this song, but i wish i had it on youtube. Our costumes were sooo amazing!!

[Amanduh42]

im a straight girl i think gay guys are fucking amazing but if im around a lesbian i feel weird i think thats normal but i have nothing against them,

but besides that great choreo

[jjaallyay]

@Amanduh42 I know what you mean, and I am gay! I do notice that when I am around lesbians I feel weird because I don't really know them so I don't know what to say ro how to act. But then I remember I'm gay and just because I am donesn't mean I will be like"hey gurl" or " thats fierce!!" It's all stereotypes and gays and lesbians like straight people come in all shapes and sizes so I just remember to treat them fore most as a person with out any preconceived I deas just get to know them as them

[valentine3397]

i loved it the guy in the shorts was really amazing xxxxx I would love to dance like that

[jentaylor05]

i shared this video with a friend and she asked if i was the girl in the blue shorts, I WISH! I absolutely love this, i can't stop watching it, thank you for sharing this <3

[KaylieRamone]

as a christian i defend those who have a different sexual orientation...they are my equals and it was how i was brought up....so religion taught me this

[crit67ical]

if the earth ever is to poppulated we will just all turn gay ;) 

[crit67ical]

and what woulda happened if adam and eav were gay ? hmm ? oh thts right no people .\

[crit67ical]

[overmyhead2007]

I LOVE ALLYOUR CHOREOGRAPHY! THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! I AM TOUCHED!! FORGET WHAT THE HATERS SAY! YOUR ARE TALENTED AND SO ARE THE DANCERS!

[christiedawsonencore]

amen Derek

[JuStDaNcEurheartout]

Awesome!!<3

[July2ish]

so cool!

[theedancerr404]

@daisyrockhaley hahahaha

and you shouldn't write ignorant comments either ! but hey, that's what happens! male (ballet,lyrical jazz, etc) dancers are incredible to watch and they make look easy things that you probably can't do.

[Trinivalist]

first of all... sexual orientation cannot be abnormal, because you are born with it. It's like being born with a certain skin color/texture. I am totally hetero... and it took me a while to understand this. By the way, Derek I've admired your dance choreo for a while. I am a soca choreographer which is just a completely different kind of thing, but I love to see great choreography/art of all dance genres... keep up the good work. (Davin... the trinivalist)

[dondabro]

lov u derek

[TheEboniepalmer]

OMFGOSH I LOVE THE WAY YOU GUYS JUMP LOL NICE JUMPS

[011azr]

Honestly Im religious but at the same time I feel pity for someone who has "abnormal" sexual orientation.

[derekmitchellg]

@011azr

No religion teaches you to be discriminate, judgemental or to not love thy neighbor as thy self....you are not religious....you are ignorant

[thesurvivorguy3]

@derekmitchellg Badass

[getreelbereel88]

@derekmitchellg ahmen u r sooooooo right im a christian and my big bro is gay and me and my fam love him more than ever bcuz he is now true to himself!

[KaylieRamone]

@derekmitchellg no actually i am very sorry but religion does not teach to be judgemental in fact in my religion we are told to "Judge not less ye be Judged" i am very sorry that u have encountered these fake christians but....i love everyone yellow black white gay straight bi....who cares what color ur skin is or what orientation u are i don't if u are a good friend to me then i will love you always so don't go spreading lies about religion even if they are not your own beliefs k thanks

[VarsityCheer0810]

@derekmitchellg Couldn't have said it better love. :)

[dlayne10499]

@derekmitchellg you guys are amazing do yo have a site

[TheJoWo666]

@011azr Excuse me but my brother has what idiots like you would call an "abnormal" sexual orientation! And if thats the way you feel then you are indeed ignorant to the rest of the surrounding world.

You are intitled to your personal opinion but keep it to yourself otherwise you may get on the wrong side of people(like me)

And can I just point out I am only a 13year old girl!x

[Kimikikat]

@011azr

wow...please for the sake of sounding ignorant, think before you type on a comment board...

[MrPlague1000]

@011azr No sexual orientation's are "Abnormal" kthx

[AylinMari13]

@011azr ... "abnormal" sexual orientation ? they are normal people with feelings and dreams , its not like they're aliens because they're gays or lesbians and saying you feel pity for them shows that you may not be so religious as you say you are because god made us all equal and god teach us to love your neighbor as yourself not as somebody inferior ...

[sweetgoodies29]

@011azr & that is the problem right there..."abnormal" really? personally I am Catholic& I certainly don't appreciate another person calling someone, who may not be like you, "abnormal". Saying that is like your trying to say your better than them (from a religious stand point no person is better than the other). Why honestly would you say you pity them??? If your saying its sad how some people are not open enough &can judge another so harshly, I can get that but saying pity is so disrespectful

[ripshortypie1]

what the hell is " 'abnormal' sexual orientation?"

[NicoleMarie743]

@011azr

Being Gay isn't having "abnormal" sexual orientation and you shouldn't pity them, you should except them cause they are no less then any of us

[SawyerBranham]

@011azr .... you do realize that by saying that its "abnormal" sexual orientation that you sound like a moron... right?? i mean, why would you ever judge someone for who they love....? it makes no sense.... but neither do most ppl that feel the need to say (or type) that they are religious instead of just acting kind and excepting of all... no matter what!

[NaomiLawlietJr]

@011azr You're quite misinformed. Homosexuality is not "abnormal" and it is not a disease. 10% of people are LGBT, so you definitely know a gay person. And seriously, religion does not necessarily constitute prejudice; I know LGBT people who are devout Christians and Jews! But I can see where you are with your last statement. LGBT people face lots of prejudice and bullying, but they deserve to be taken seriously as people, not pitied like wounded animals.

[ustesmuyoloco]

@011azr

Gotta agree with @derekmitchellg! I consider myself "religious" but I would never judge someone for being a different color than me, having a different sexual orientation or being into something that I'm not as long as it's not harming themselves or others.

And what is this "abnormal" sexual orientation deal? I think you have an "abnormal" perception on the modern world. Live you life, but don't try to scrutinize or live someone else's life.

[CloverSunstarRC]

@011azr what does being religious have to do with anything?

[TheZoeeoz]

@011azr "abnormal" wuts that mean ? because every thing is normal to some one :)

[TheZoeeoz]

@011azr @011azr "abnormal" wuts that mean ? because every thing is normal to some one :)

[jjaallyay]

@011azr what's abnormal about two human beings loving each other!? and really religious!? shouldn't you know then that it is not right to judge others or even worse pitty them for something you know little if anything about? Shouldn't you be focusing your efforts into something more productive like world hunger or riding the world of violence? As a religious person my self, it saddens me to see some one like you puting such hate out there knowing that some one might be affected by what you say

[elvisbby03]

0:49 is just flawless!!! (:

[DRwdstk]
