Oh my dear Sam, congratulations to you and Casey for making it to the finals of the hit disney show, Shake it UP!, Hope AMERICA will see how talented and great chemistry both of you have that they will VOTE...but no matter what you guys made it...great job!!!
Congratulations Sam! Hope to post all your latest routines, where you've been successfully capturing and inspiring judges and audience. Soon, you'll be on TV, so the whole world will enjoy watching you dance...You can be the next Melanie Moore...just keep working hard...
wow, still lovely to watch you...and tx for posting your ave maria solo this year...simply beautiful and breathtaking...but i heard its not the one that won at starpower nationals.! i wonder who would beat you...maybel an 18yr old...
hi so i noticed u said u did competition dance.. can u please explain it to me? ive been thinking about getting involved too, but im very nervous! ive danced since i was 3 and i love to preform, but i go to Boston ballet, a professional ballet school , so i have mostly training in ballet. to do a competition do u have to go to a special school? also, can u please explain competitions to me in general? thank you!
Guess I just don't get it. I'm no dancer, but I can see she has talent. I just find the routine and the music clash, and not in a good way. For me, dance needs to be connected to the music, not occur in spite of it. I particularly found the tribal-like dance parts annoying. If there's no connection, why have the music at all?
That said, she's clearly talented and I wish her luck. This performance just didn't move me, personally. But that's art, isn't it? It doesn't need to reach everyone.
you should watch her jazz/open piece broken dreams...and her 2010 modern contemporary piece called walk on by, Ms. Paula Abdul called her "exquisite feet!" Proud of Sam...
She did amazing! I am a dancer myself and she amazed me sooooooooo much w/ her talent!!! :) Great Job Samantha I hope I become as good as u one day! :)
the thing about dance is that you don't have to dance to the same tempo of the music and there's usually a reason for that. she was probably trying to express something, more lyrical, than focus on matching the tempo.
@loida7766 no, that is not me on my page. my page is set to show videos that i have in my favorites. that is alicia clifton, she is from OK, she attends applause studios in oklahoma city.
Oh my God she is an amazing dancer. IMO the song was totally wrong for her for performance. She's a fire dancer poise, rhythm and especially passion blended with control. I think the performance would be better with a different song that balanced more with this young athletic dancer's power. She is beyond incredible. I'm especially impressed with her control.
she needs to control her arms more. there are parts where her arms are flying around when they shouldn't be. nonetheless, she is still an amazing dancer
Very powerful, sharp movements...she's a good dancer but she needs to calm down a little bit. I thought she was jumping, tumbling, shaking around a bit too much.
hey samantha, i heard you won 1st overall on your new lyrical solo at starpowers. Was it same choreographer? Pls. post it or anyone pls...i want to see. You must have matured more in your dancing, hope you arent mouthing the lyrics anymore and i hope to see some sof lyrical from you...
i think everyone needs to chill out its just dance if u dont like it you dont like it..personally i loved it i feel the reason her technique might not look as sharp as it really is could be because she was sooo into the movement and her emotions were getting the best of her but she really is anamazing dancer
oh dear, you are indeed a force to be reckoned...You are sooo young! I wish there is SYTYCD for your age group. Hope you dont stop dancing...and YES I BELIEVE THAT YOU DID GET INTO ABT AND YES YOU CAN BE ACCEPTED 3X EVEN MORE BECAUSE YOU CAN AUDITION EVERYYEAR. AND CONGRATULATIONS TO JULLIARDS!!! WAY TO GO GIRL!!!
I liked it however, I feel like she needs a little more control. You can be emotional and still have control but still very good fro such a young girl.
The more I watch this the more I like it. I guess because it is different and so energetic/emotional in it's moves that you feel a little startled at first but if the more you watch it the more I see discover and the more it touches me. With most other dances I get just more bored watching many times.
Sam, awesome job, I'm looking forward working with you!
that was realy gud i love the chireography and the technice and the axle was great.that jump couldnt have been better he feet were pointed very great ur are a inspiration! keep it up you go gurl =]
i honestly love the way she dances, but the choreography could have flowed better. all of the skills like the calypso, the axle, the turning c-jump, the triple pirouette, etc, were all grouped together in one part and they came one after the other. the rest of the routine had a few other skills, but it was mainly pure emotion and thrashing. i still love the routine and style, though
WOW!! This video of Samantha has already reached over 20,00 hits!! That's great! Congrats to Sam, her family, her hard work n dedication to dance, and her studio! Keep it coming people! Pls continue to support this young and talented dancer! :)
yes, i think this is good, if its your style. i am personally not a fan of thrashing around like you have no idea what to do. if this is the dance you want, than change the song. when she actually does real dancing, it is spectacular. but most of the time she is going wild. it is very sloppy and not at all what i would call dance. it is not my intention at all to be rude, i am just giving my opinion.
i 'love' these kind of comments. A paragraph of condescending critique and saying how this isn't even dancing, and then at the end saying, 'oh I'm not rude, just my opinion'. Well you *are* rude and call it your opinion or whatever you want, it is still condescending and in this case borderline nasty. Just because it is your opinion doesn't make it OK to put her down.
If you don't understand it, if it doesn't fit in your mind, don't be so ignorant to criticize it and call it 'not dance'.
This girl is a force to be reckoned with. The beauty of her dance is that she through out her technique and DANCED! Many young people nowadays don't know how to do that or know what that even means.
I totally agree! She has so much passion in dancing. Check on her other youtube videos, just type Samantha Cantoria and you'll her other solos and latest group dances performed at Pulse on Tour in front of Mia Michaels, Brian Friedman, Wade Robson and others. Certainly got recognition and invitation to perform again in the Pulse future showcase...GREAT STUFF!!!
First of all, whoever's shouting in this video needs to shut up.
That said, her arms don't like to cooperate with the rest of her body, and her feet don't like to pointe correctly. I'm kinda suprised she got the high scorings that she did. Not trying to be rude, just saying....
so what ? if the judges have found her perfomance wonderful, they have given her what she deserved!
what you say wont change anything so please don't talk like that . i would see you do half what she does! i think YOU need to shut up.i don't want to be rude neither ^^
I've been dancing since I was six, I do tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, irish, ballroom, and belly dancing. I'm currently on pointe, and have had solos in my company's Nutcracker performance for the past three years. I am a pre-profesional ballerina, and have been placed into advanced lyrical, jazz, and tap classes. Don't tell me I can't do this.
everyone can tell they can do this. i can tell it. even though i know i CAN'T! i've been dancing since a long time to. and i've done the same things as you. but i'm not as talented as Samantha Cantoria!!! this girl is born for dancing!!!! don't you see her style ?? You could have been dancing since your birth, technique isn't worth beauty, emotion. stop pride yourself on being a pre-porfessional. no one matters !
I have a pulled hamstring, and no webcam. I'm sorry but those things are expensive! Even if you have beauty and emotion, it's not a substitute for technique. Besides, without proper technique you can get hurt.
Wait, what do you mean nobody matters? That statement is completely irrelevent.
just wanted to ask who are you to say her feet arent all the way pointed and her movement was mostly flailing. u r only a freshmen nowhere near to be critisizing on technique and such. sam has gotten accepted to ABT 3 times and scholarship to julliard so i think she is more advanced then u are. pre-profesional ballerina honey where do u train because i have never seen or heard of u before and i have heard about samantha from a lot of places. if u dont have anything nice to say just keep it shut.
Let's start with that Freshman comment. I'm a Sophmore. Now that we've got that cleared up, please try using better grammar next time you post something because I don't fully comprehend the so-called "chat speak". I don't claim to be a great dancer, I'm just a ballerina. Now I have some questions for you.
1- Why would somebody be accepted somewhere thrice?
2- Were you paying attention to her technique?
3- Why don't you like "hatters"? Without hatters you would have no hats!
@xXsnazzyjazzyXx that doesnt mean you can show the raw emotion she can. i agree with you, she sometimes has to watch her arms and feet, but there is always room for improvement! shes fabulouS
Well, first of all, you are probably jealous of her because she is amazing and is only 13. 2nd of all, her feet are beautiful, and 3rd, have you heard of style? i am sorry this is the 21st century, not the 70's.
dont be rude when you see something tha you arent. Not being rude either!!
No I'm not jealous, I never said her feet were ugly, flailing of the limbs isn't style, and what in the world does the century have to do with anything? To my knowledge I didn't say anythig about the year and I fail to see fow it's a valid comment.
do you know what ? Real artists are always despised by those who are jealous or those who don't like. if you don't like, don't comment. unless your comment is contructive
I'm sorry, but all I was saying is that it could have been better! I'm not jealous whatsoever, and if somebody doesn't like their performance of course they will be critisized! It was constructive if you read the comment as I intended it to be read.
i agree wih xxsnazzyjazzyxx ... samantha does not have that good of technique and she doesnt pointe her feet all the way through most of the time when she dances. sure shes flexible but flexibility means nothing if you dont have the strength and technique to support it. i think this could have been a lot better also....
@xXsnazzyjazzyXx listen this girl is just trying to say that this kind of dance isnt her cup of tea. i didnt like it that much either but it was beautiful in its own way. just let it go. and what does the seventies have to do with anyway?
its the style and the emotion she's emitting. This put tears in my eyes SO MUCH EMOTION and so young. this is quite phenomenal. Contemporary style is free moving and there are really now rules apart from flawless technique! :D Anything goes after that, she is an acceptional artist, technician, and dancer...She's going places. 5 STARS. A new fan. Congratulations!
really good technique but there's no quality in her movements. it's like she's just going form one step to another. i don't know if that's because of the choreography but what happened to fluidity? instead of a whole sentence, i just got a bunch of words
i dont wanna be mean but her moves barely go to the music because the songs to slow and shes to fast shes a good dancer but she needs to dance to the beat of the song thats playing
REALLY! Well it doesnt matter, she won everywhere in this dance, so the judges actually loved the choreography...sooooo different and simply not boring!
Well I'm a teacher and a choreographer. Her movements are syncopated, she is dancing on the down and up beats of the piano. It would have been boring if she just danced to the slowness of the words.
oh yah she did win the danceworld contest. she desrves it. This piece is special and she danced it with so much passion. Hope she has more dance videos...love watching her, simply amazing!
Yah! Blessed indeed! But she works really hard...Pls watch youtube of her and her friends on PulseTour videos under CHOREOGRAPHER's Pick-Heartless. Mr. Brian Friedman was amazed of them and gave them great critiques.
that was the most amazing performance out of just plain dancin i've ever seen. (if she's not with jpd sorry for my mistake, i just assumed she was cuz it says jpd in the search tags) but that was absolutely incredible. she has such raw emotion and the choreography was FANTASTIC!
awesome

so what ? if the judges have found her perfomance wonderful, they have given her what she deserved!
what you say wont change anything so please don't talk like that . i would see you do half what she does! i think YOU need to shut up.i don't want to be rude neither ^^
sorry for bad english

I've been dancing since I was six, I do tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, irish, ballroom, and belly dancing. I'm currently on pointe, and have had solos in my company's Nutcracker performance for the past three years. I am a pre-profesional ballerina, and have been placed into advanced lyrical, jazz, and tap classes. Don't tell me I can't do this.
xXsnazzyjazzyXx 2 years ago
show me a video then :)
everyone can tell they can do this. i can tell it. even though i know i CAN'T! i've been dancing since a long time to. and i've done the same things as you. but i'm not as talented as Samantha Cantoria!!! this girl is born for dancing!!!! don't you see her style ?? You could have been dancing since your birth, technique isn't worth beauty, emotion. stop pride yourself on being a pre-porfessional. no one matters !
meimeiWo3 2 years ago
I have a pulled hamstring, and no webcam. I'm sorry but those things are expensive! Even if you have beauty and emotion, it's not a substitute for technique. Besides, without proper technique you can get hurt.
Wait, what do you mean nobody matters? That statement is completely irrelevent.
xXsnazzyjazzyXx 2 years ago
@xXsnazzyjazzyXx you think toooooo highly of yourself, if you expect to see pelvis movement in every dance then you wont . this is style.
LeeperProductions 2 years ago
What? What does pelvic movement have to do with anything?
xXsnazzyjazzyXx 2 years ago
just wanted to ask who are you to say her feet arent all the way pointed and her movement was mostly flailing. u r only a freshmen nowhere near to be critisizing on technique and such. sam has gotten accepted to ABT 3 times and scholarship to julliard so i think she is more advanced then u are. pre-profesional ballerina honey where do u train because i have never seen or heard of u before and i have heard about samantha from a lot of places. if u dont have anything nice to say just keep it shut.

Calm thy self!
Let's start with that Freshman comment. I'm a Sophmore. Now that we've got that cleared up, please try using better grammar next time you post something because I don't fully comprehend the so-called "chat speak". I don't claim to be a great dancer, I'm just a ballerina. Now I have some questions for you.
1- Why would somebody be accepted somewhere thrice?
2- Were you paying attention to her technique?
3- Why don't you like "hatters"? Without hatters you would have no hats!
xXsnazzyjazzyXx 1 year ago 2
@xXsnazzyjazzyXx that doesnt mean you can show the raw emotion she can. i agree with you, she sometimes has to watch her arms and feet, but there is always room for improvement! shes fabulouS
missbbdadancerx15 1 year ago
Well, first of all, you are probably jealous of her because she is amazing and is only 13. 2nd of all, her feet are beautiful, and 3rd, have you heard of style? i am sorry this is the 21st century, not the 70's.
dont be rude when you see something tha you arent. Not being rude either!!
LeeperProductions 2 years ago
No I'm not jealous, I never said her feet were ugly, flailing of the limbs isn't style, and what in the world does the century have to do with anything? To my knowledge I didn't say anythig about the year and I fail to see fow it's a valid comment.
xXsnazzyjazzyXx 2 years ago
do you know what ? Real artists are always despised by those who are jealous or those who don't like. if you don't like, don't comment. unless your comment is contructive
meimeiWo3 2 years ago
I'm sorry, but all I was saying is that it could have been better! I'm not jealous whatsoever, and if somebody doesn't like their performance of course they will be critisized! It was constructive if you read the comment as I intended it to be read.
xXsnazzyjazzyXx 2 years ago
i agree wih xxsnazzyjazzyxx ... samantha does not have that good of technique and she doesnt pointe her feet all the way through most of the time when she dances. sure shes flexible but flexibility means nothing if you dont have the strength and technique to support it. i think this could have been a lot better also....
TheDancer2813 2 years ago
@xXsnazzyjazzyXx listen this girl is just trying to say that this kind of dance isnt her cup of tea. i didnt like it that much either but it was beautiful in its own way. just let it go. and what does the seventies have to do with anyway?

Who choreographed this? Some of it is very similar to Shannon Mather's material like the falls and such, but I'm pretty sure it's not her.lol

definitely a unique choreography and very well performed. She stands out in a good way.
videodaddy99 2 years ago 2
its the style and the emotion she's emitting. This put tears in my eyes SO MUCH EMOTION and so young. this is quite phenomenal. Contemporary style is free moving and there are really now rules apart from flawless technique! :D Anything goes after that, she is an acceptional artist, technician, and dancer...She's going places. 5 STARS. A new fan. Congratulations!

I TOTALLY AGREE!
wcoastdiva 2 years ago
really good technique but there's no quality in her movements. it's like she's just going form one step to another. i don't know if that's because of the choreography but what happened to fluidity? instead of a whole sentence, i just got a bunch of words
ssNICkerss1210 2 years ago
this dance is so captivating! Wish she has more dances on you tube to watch. What studio does she go to? hope to see her in good comps this year
wcoastdiva 2 years ago
i dont wanna be mean but her moves barely go to the music because the songs to slow and shes to fast shes a good dancer but she needs to dance to the beat of the song thats playing
florosie8 2 years ago
REALLY! Well it doesnt matter, she won everywhere in this dance, so the judges actually loved the choreography...sooooo different and simply not boring!
jpdlexi22 2 years ago
wow you must have no rhythm because she clearly in time with the music.

yea well imma dancer and those moves dont go with the song her moves are good but they have to go with the music ok
florosie8 2 years ago 3
and if you think they go then watch it again maybe some parts are but most arent
florosie8 2 years ago 2
Well I'm a teacher and a choreographer. Her movements are syncopated, she is dancing on the down and up beats of the piano. It would have been boring if she just danced to the slowness of the words.
kdh81 2 years ago 4
oh yah she did win the danceworld contest. she desrves it. This piece is special and she danced it with so much passion. Hope she has more dance videos...love watching her, simply amazing!

Yah! Blessed indeed! But she works really hard...Pls watch youtube of her and her friends on PulseTour videos under CHOREOGRAPHER's Pick-Heartless. Mr. Brian Friedman was amazed of them and gave them great critiques.

that was the most amazing performance out of just plain dancin i've ever seen. (if she's not with jpd sorry for my mistake, i just assumed she was cuz it says jpd in the search tags) but that was absolutely incredible. she has such raw emotion and the choreography was FANTASTIC!
