  • Why is this the only thing she has posted on Youtube?

  • This is beautiful!

    Reminds me why I'm training so hard (:

  • I thought she was a beautiful dancer till we attended the HOF Chicago nationals a year later, where I learned that she's the queen bitch of her studio.

    I was with Dance Explosion and during the final awards to determine the champion out of the top 5, she was a nasty hateful piece of work while standing there waiting for the results. So sad because she is a gorgeous dancer.

  • This is such a pretty routine. Her technique is very smooth. I absolutely LOVE the turns in this routine, too.

  • flawless.....

  • ohhh, this makes me miss when i used to make her dance for me in her kitchen!!

  • beautiful

  • beautiful

  • i miss these pretty lyricals. it's soo much about contemporary these days (which i love also) but pretty lyricals have always been my fave.

  • I agree wholeheartedly - I've got nothing against contemporary etc., but I've always loved this style of lyrical especially.

    And when they are performed as beautifully as this it makes it even better.

  • oh gosh what emotion i felt watching her. Amazing.

  • Who choreographed this solo?

  • never get tired of watching this one :D

    my favorite dance ever

  • amazing dancer & beautiful technique (:

  • amazing dancer and great technique (:

  • these turns are phenomenal, esp the fouette into and attitude at 1:38

  • The dancer is absolutely gorgeous!! Amazing lines and great feet!! I would say however, that the choreographer is a little less than desirable. Seemed very repetitive and predictable. Kudos to Amanda though!

  • absoloutly gorgeous dancing.

    very beautiful.

  • Truly graceful!

  • that was beautiful

  • GOOSEBUMPS !!!!

  • beautiful dancer

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • I agree, beautiful turns and overall great! I didn't quite get the thing with the shirt, though. And perhaps it was lyrical, but I think that's just her style. And I like it :)

  • theres different styles of lyrical.

    this new kind of modern lyrical at competetions isnt just lyrical.

  • amazing turns and center, but i need and extra feeling... but is good thu... but not breath taking!

  • AMAZING! beautiful turns and leaps

  • ....that WAS lyrical.. she's just had ballet training...

  • beautifulboredom: Obviously you dont know what dance is..lol..That was a LYRICAL number..she had flexed feet at some points (not in ballet!!!) and her jettes (not that I expext you to know what that is..) were amazing. Learn your shit..

  • It looked like a professional ballet minus the pointe shoes. I'm sorry, but the only thing truly lyrical about this were her shoes and the T-shirts. Do not get me wrong, she's AMAZING.

  • There are several kinds of Lyrical and one of them happens to be ballet lyrical. There is a modern style of lyrical (very abstract movements), a contemporary lyrical (sharp movements with lots of contractions), a jazz lyrical just to name a few.

  • it was definitely lyrical she just has good technique

  • bravo

  • Man this is such a beautifull dance!! Her expression with her body is just magnificent! You can see the emotion so very well...

    Bravo

  • You´re good,really good, but until the end it look more like show dance,not lyrical solo ...

    but good job!

    btw. Im a dancer from Croatia

  • shyes great

    i mean, those amvelopes look really hard

    i wish i could dance as good as her

    shes looks as light as a feather

  • i didnt reall get the little blanket thingg

    but this dance was awesome x]

  • i think she's dancing for someone she's missing and the blanket belonged to that person

  • It's a shirt that belonged to a man that cheated on her. The shirt represents her memory of him.

  • wow your an amazing dancerrr

  • very graceful! your lines are becoming really great. keep working hard :)

  • SOOOOOOO  So Beautiful!

  • i wanna learn how to lyrical dance its so pretty and emotional i love it. :)

  • it's absolutely wonderful! i like the dance, i like the music und i like the dress: where is it from? it's amazing!!!! =)

    Congratulations to this wonderful performance!!!

  • That was beautiful <3

  • beautiful, great job. I also hope my first lyrical solo this year is as amazing!

  • simply beautiful

  • what a beautiful body

  • wow.

    that was amazing.

    i wish i could be half as good

  • truly amazing job u did. i'm beyond impressed.

  • omg !

    you were sooo good you made it all flow like together

    great great job

  • that was gogeous. you have stunning talent.

  • You have incredible feet and wonderful lines. Very graceful. You can tell you've had a lot of ballet training.

  • that's amazing!!! i'm doing my first lyric solo this year, i hope i do half that good!

  • that was amazing you have beautiful feet and grace

    i love it!

  • beautiful feet, but i don't think smiling isn't what you should be doing with your face in this dance? it's talking about a guy that's cheated on her isn't it? but you are an amazing dancer

  • you are really good... just it kinda looks like your forcing it, like your heart is not in it... but you are an amazing dancer... keep dancing, just develop a passion and a love for the talent that you have

  • Wow, amazing grace.

  • im speechless O.o

  • Beautiful dress

  • yeahh some girl where i live copied that dance..but she wasn't as good as you at ALL!

  • I know, right! I don't know anyone who copied this dance but I hate it when people do and don't credit the original dancers.

  • one of the most beautiful dances i've ever seen. simply beautiful.

    <3

  • her releve is like soooooo high.

    she is a technical masterpeice!!!!!

  • OMG. she is SOOO good. i can't imagine how hard it must've been to get that good

  • She's was sooooo into the music and thts what pulled it out for me! she was in touch with the motions of the song. BEAUTIFUL

  • Shes lovely. such beautiful turns.

  • that was amazing, your one of teh BEST dancers i have ever seen. your turns are beautiful. and i love your costume!

    great job!

  • goose bumps....

  • i..uh...i...uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh­hhhhhh.....

    *speachless*

  • i do lyrical to and i think that you are way better than anyone at my dance school! well done

  • Beautiful dancer!!! The choreography & speed didn't feel right for the music. The tricks were gorgeous, but I would have liked to see her more in tune with the song & the emotion.

  • gorgeous dancer!!!

  • That was a wonderful dance! Great job!

  • I don't think the dance could be any more beautifully executed, but the song is so tragic and sad and the smile threw me off quite a bit. Such grace, though.

  • ALOT of people wear tan jazz shoes with lyrical dances...

  • true

  • i really love this dance and her turns are beautiful but she doesnt had enough emotion.

  • Very different for a lyrical costume. Use emotions more! Just a question why are you wearing jazz shoes??

    other then that good job!

    :)

  • Absolutely gorgeous. Not a single mistake. Everything about your style is perfect.

  • AMAZING turns, and your lines are gorgeous. I'm just not a fan of the shirt as a prop. You don't really do much with it, other than throw it around, which is distracting.

    And yes, unlike some other comments below, I could tell you're grimacing/crying NOT smiling. Still, I think you went just a BIT overboard with the facial expression. You can look sad/devastated, without the silent crying face.

    STILL an amazing piece, though.

  • it's a shirt?

    haha I always thought it looked more like a wedding veil that is supposed to remind her of her marriage and the unfaithful spouse.

  • her turns are some of the best i have ever seen!

  • i have danced with amanda and saw this performance live, and seriously people... she IS NOT SMILING!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ok so that was gorgeous

    and you people who told her not to smile, usally your instructor tells you to smile.

    also if your not a dancer you probably dont know how hard it is to concentrate on your facial expressions when you are putting all of your energy and efort into the dance.

    and besides that wasnt a crying song, you didnt hear the girl singing bawling her eyes out, she should be smiling becase she should be happy shes doing so well

  • good foutes!

  • you guys are dense. if you pay attention she's not smiling her mouth is open because she's making a crying face... like she's on the verge of tears. if you interpret that as a smile look closer.

  • sorry to say this but stop smiling! it is supposed to be sad not happy! and i no its bad but too many turns ur supposed to be crying and sad and express with through ur dance not by leaping up through the air and turning around, otherwise ur really good!

  • i agree.

  • so...i am not gonna lie...I am not a dancer by any means but I am a singer. In music, anybody can sing their guts out and do the showstopper broadway belt but it takes amazing control and precision to sing the classical and operatic music. Just because this girl didn't do absolutly jawdropping material in her number doesn't mean that she doesn't deserve the respect alloted to the fact that she gave a flawless, FLAWLESS performance.

  • amanda is crazy talented.

  • absolutely beautiful

  • 2. She has emotion, amazing technique n shes a BEAUTIFUL dancer. This dance is incredible. Very emotional. 3. Appreciate her talent....i guess you obviously cant see the judge who gave her a standing ovation. She was Hall Of Fame overall solo winner. I'm pretty sure she earned that.

    BRILLIANT!!!

  • 1. When I saw this video, I thought that there wasnt a single reason that anyone could talk badly about this performance, or this girl....and then you pathetic people did, and it honestly has to be because you are jealous, or really bug dumbass'. so shut up. if you dont like it dont comment.

  • ahh so pretty. tht was great. SO BEAUTIFUL. lol =]] thts about all i can think of 2 say!

  • very touching.

  • all you do is turn and run around and kicked your leg up in the air. and your costume is... UGLY.

  • AGHH! I am so tired of this! BORING! Show me some creativity! BIG DEAL----who can't do a la seconds?! This is what you get when you're strictly studio...predictability! Don't get me wrong...she has fine technique but i've watched 1000's of other girls do the same thing! OH...and don't just do a chaine turn because you can't think of another move...it's quite annoying...

  • did many of you ever consider that maybe she's not smiling, maybe she's just breathing through her mouth? it is possible to look upset and have your mouth slightly open at the same time. your face doesn't have to do all the expressing, you know. i believe her dancing alone gets the point across. she's an extremely expressive dancer even if you didn't look at her face. to even criticize her facials and emotions is pointless.

  • i agree! i think its a wonderful dance but im not going to take back what i said just because shes smiling! dont judge a dance just because she smiles, it's so annoying when people do that

  • this is AMAZING. one of the most touching performances i've seen.

  • You are amazing! you gave me the chills it was beautiful . I can only hope to be that good .. thanks for the inspiration

  • amazing

  • wow

  • it is unbelievable. the girl is so beautiful and she is so good in ballet. im overjoyed

  • Great

  • i've been watching alot of ppl do lyrical solo, this is the best i'e seen so far

  • the dress works in the turns

  • awesome I wish i was as good as you

  • beautiful!!!!

  • AMAZING! speachless. great control on pirouettes!

  • one of the best dancers i have ever seen in my life. absolutely amazing. almost perfect.

  • graceful...touching. beautiful

  • that was a beautiful performance - but it looks like she's smiling the whole time which totally doesn't go with the song.

  • agreed, it was a very well done performance. and although she has the emotion in her eyes the smiling at some parts in a way throws off what her eyes are trying to portray

  • your technique is amazing! beautiful turns, leaps, and arabesques.

  • that was beautiful! i think i forgot to breath during your proformance. that was just awesome

  • that was amazing!!! the turns were incredible!! so were the jumps!!

  • very elegant and very beautifully executed. i loved it...

  • this song is definitely called Broken Vow.... but ur turn outs are AWESOME and its a very beautiful dance!

  • beautiful. who sings the song? i luv it.

  • her knees look pretty straight to me lol

  • i´m crying beutiful choreography,...excelent job

  • Very beautiful.You have lovely turns I wont mention the knees since its already been stated :p. I would however like to see more air in your movements. Perhaps hold some of the positions longer especialy the penche in the begining. Also se if you can stay in the air just a tad longer. Beautiful choreography. Also a very powerful peice. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you. :)

  • make sure to exacute your moves to the fullest, straight knees full hands.

    and be carefull of your facial expressions.

    but other than that, this is a beautiful routine.

    Keep up the good work.

  • WOW that was so good. I don't really know what to say. GREAT!

  • great job.... just breath taking!

  • nice technique. Very pretty. GET IT

  • .....oh my gosh. AMAZING. You should pursue this as a career. Your dancing is absolutely breathtaking. I was totally speechless after seeing this. Awesome technique, beautiful dance, love it. :]

    Good luck with whatever you do.

  • you are aaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaazing! i watch this video 5 times a day!:P<3<3<3
