this is amazingg i love the fact thats its ur life story and all of it an wat u said is all about u :) wat did u get at ur competitions for this dncr??
@lovecheergirl i hope it does. any way that i can help people that have gone through things in life when they think there is nothing but darkness see/realize there is always light and to always have faith i will do.
@shawnforgold dont feel sorry. if i didnt go through everything i have i wouldnt be able to help people or have the outlook on life that i have. in a way i'm thankful that i had these experiences. does anyone wish things like this would happen no not exactly but God only gives you what you can handle.
This is amazing and showed me how you are an inspiration I was on a dance team and got bullied it made me fill like i did something wrong all the time and the bullying was over dance if i was better than her or not it seemed like nobody would help... finally when i got in the middle of my eighth grade year (this year) I realized God has blessed me all along i am no longer bullied anymore it has stopped.I am very blessed and very happy everyone dont let anyone try to crush your dreams!
@itsmkchun hi God has given you talent and please dont let anyone every discourage you from using that talent. Dancing is a gift and always embrace. also remember you are always stronger than the bullies. usually people that are bullies do not have any confidence or self esteem so they pick on someone who has what they wished they could have. i believe that everyone has ha heart and some people just have a really hard time trying to show it
@broadwaybabestar Thank you so much ! There is a video of my first solo from this year on youtube its called Look At Me K.A.R 2011(: its on my parents youtube account not mine .. hahaa i guess i should put it on mine ! Ide love for you to check it out ! Thank you so much for the advice (: We are all so thankful for our amazing God!
The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. Our walk by faith takes surrender, willingness and attentiveness by us knowing the Lord has the knowledge and skill to lead us down the correct path. When we give ourselves in complete surrender to His will, He will lead us into that intimate personal relationship we so desire.
May God Bless you. Thank you for sharing your story. You are sooo beautiful!! I hope God blesses you with a Good husband!. How are the rest of your sisters and brother doing? I hope all is well. I cried watching you dance! You are so graceful and angelic, with the most beautiful smile! May God make His face to shine upon you always!
@2006coca your are very welcome. also i pray every day for the kind of christian husband i want (haha). i know God will give me the perfect husband. as far as my sibling goes i can not keep in touch with them do to safety issues. every now and then i found stuff out about them from people that somewhat know them. i think it's funny how God placed people in my life that can keepmy updated about my siblings in a safe way. so as far as they go the only thing i can do for them is pray for them and
@dancerbaby1996 i'm trying to figure out a way for it to be heard by as many people as possible. my goal was for it to help people and bring comfort to let them know there is always light at the end of the tunnel you just have to keep going towards it
@broadwaybabestar You are so inspring. If it helps, I posted this on my facebook, and on my dance studios facebook. You are so right. Theres always a light at the end of the tunnel. Always something beautiful, in the end. As I can see, you're dancing, and by this, your personality are so beautiful. And also, you as a person.
@happirocker thank you and yes He definitely loves me and everyone else to. some people just have a hard time seeing/believing how much God truly loves them.
Wow!!! ..the Dance has great power & Strength.....it has grace! the story is good...but it is a sad & hopeful story...i need some of your facial expression...but its indeed well performed!!!
@shawnforgold aww well thank you. i often get asked about my past but i tell people i never regret going through the things i have gone through. i know the Lord is going to continue using it to help people. also if i didnt go through the things i did i dont think i would look at life/live life the way i do.
Is this true? It is amazing! I think it is true, but you never know:) This is the type of dance people want to see, not all the glitzy fake stuff, but the real things that actually bring out how harsh and cruel the world really is. You should be admired by many people for sharing that. Thank you.
@3notsoblondes yes this is all true. i agree with you about people seeing this kind of thing. people always have a reason why the dance they have a story to be told. people should tell their story more often.
you are truely inspirational! i am a dancer and to me you are amazing for what you have put together. i am sorry for what has happened in your past but you can tell you are very much blesed.
@29psalm i do this dance when asked at different churches for an out reach type of thing. i will never quit telling my story. the Lord had me go through it for a reason and i believe that answer is so i can help people.
I know it's been said a million times, but this is truly inspirational. I was sexually abused when I was very young by someone in my family. I took dance classes for about fifteen years, from ages 3 to 18. I didn't know it at the time, but it really did help me cope with the pain. Dance is amazing in that way, isn't it? It lets you get out everything that can be so hard to say.
I pray that you continue to heal from your experiences.
I was sexually abused when I was young too. We used to help him, he was a great family friend. Until that happened. He was only sentenced to a few years in jail, and has to register as a sex offender. Only a couple years for ruining a young girl's innocence. He wouldn't have been sent to jail if my parents didn't know what to tell the police to make him crack down and confess. I love to dance, it releases emotions.
But maybe not such a smile throught the whoooollllleee thing. show the emotion you must have felt wehn you were going thorugh this. this should bring tears to your eyes from having a terrible past, to a wonderful present.
this is my all time favorite dance on youtube you are so inspirational and brave to let people know about your past. you are an inspiration to all dancers And i love how you danced with the scarf it was very original and unique
wow this really happened to you? thats horrible but it looks like youre doing better dance is a great way to get things out and make things better great job with your number
this is an absolute ispiration.... the fact that you still no that God was there through it all and u never gave up on him... u are an amazing dancer and good job on gettin a platnium! the only thing tht really stood out to me badly was if ur scorpion fell or not i couldnt tell... but GREAT JOB!
o and for all you guys who wanted to know she got a platinum!!!!!!!!!!! that is i think the best you can get besides a diamond which is rare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is a beautiful dancer and it is a true story she teaches me dance and she is awesome and so are her her wonderfull parents that saved her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was beautiful. You should read a book called "Three Little Words" By Ashley Rhodes-Courter. She was also in fostercare. Keep sharing your story. The world needs to here it
This is completely genius, though I have to say your dancing needs a bit of work. I'm not saying that you are bad, far far from it. But it's a little....I think repetitive is the word, yes?
And for your story, I cannot relate to it entirely, but I can relate to abuse by parents. Oh, I can relate to that. I feel for you and you're in my prayers.
i know the dance in this video is repetitive. its because earlier that day during a dance i pulled my back muscle. so i was just improving and doing what i could with my back being out.
i can normally dance really good. i have won a lot of titles and 1st places nationally and internationally. thank you for all your comments :) i always like to see how this affects people
i would LOVE to know how your parents reacted when they first saw the finished product. i can only imagine the admiration, joy, and pride they feel when they see you dance, and how creative you have become.
@mournfulbliss wel when i created this the only person that saw it was my costume designer (who is also a judge at some competition), and the person who helped me record it. so the first time i did it i wasnt nervous to dance or perform i was just hoping it would have the kind of impact i wanted it to have on people. so i performed it at a competition and the whole audience was dead silent. everytime i perform it they are dead silent. as far as my parents they were definitely proud.
Wow... You are an inspiration for being able to survive all that, and you are a beautiful dancer. Bravo to you for being such a strong person AND a strong dancer. =D
if you get this in time you should out this as a nominee for the inspired dance contest from YourDanceChannel. this is very insipiring. i saw you perfrom this at access in orlando. very good job. try to get in to the contest
hi sorry it has taken me so long. here is what im saying.
My Name Is Crystal Marie Demetriades.Thru dance I share with you my life story.
When I was a baby I was abandoned, rejected, and abused.There were six of us| two boys and four girls.Social Services rescued my brothers and sisters and me.My oldest sisters went to an orphanage the rest of us went to a foster home but it was no home.there once again I was abandoned, rejected, and abused.
They held a lighter to my head and lit it. They threatened to set me on fire.I was three when the foster father kicked me down the stairs.|The foster mother was a witch. Always casting evil spells on me.|To help me escape.I had these wonderful dreams. I would sit on Gods lap, and He would say to me everything is alright. You are safe and Im watching you always. I love you.
when things were really bad I would see angels around me.I prayed for a new mommy and daddy. Nice, loving, and kind parents.By the time I was six my prayers were answered. We were rescued, my brother and me. By two people who must have been sent by God. My brother was a year older than me.He was suicidal. He threw knives hoping hed hit me. I was his target. My parents did everything they could to help him.
He was eleven and sent away to an institution. He left and half my heart is empty. I will always feel this way.I act, I sing, I dance. I have wonderful parents, friends, and teachers. I feel blessed by God. Thank you
like, when i saw u do it live. ; ) anywayyyy... tht rely was amazing. nd ur dancing is so awesome. if something like tht happened to me id be to shy to tel any1. i thnk its awesome what ur trying to tell ppl! keep dancing! ; )
WOW! That was really beautiful. This should be an inspiration to anyone with hurt or pain~proof that those emotions can be turned into beautifully creative things. Keep smiling sister!
well the foster mom did takes us to church it was called first baptist. my parents that i have know where the ones that got me and my brother out of there. its cool tho how see my mom cant have any kids but one day this Lady who didnt know me or my brother handed her two diff paintings she did. one was of my brother and God and the other one was of me and God.
in my painting i am kneeling down praying and God His standing there with has hand over me and He is looking at me and has the light just shining.then the bible verse Jeremiah31:3 is on it which is The lord hath appeared of old to unto me,saying,Yea,I have Loved thee with an everlasting Love:therefore with Loving Kindness have i drawn thee.
i never really understood tht verse till this past year because that verse has so been my life. its amazing. at the bottom of the painting she wrote my name. Now this Lady didnt know me or my brother and God gave her what to paint and the painting looks exactly like me. she gave it to my mom and said you are to adopted these two kids. then not much longer we got adopted.
yes she is. she does spells and chants and all tht crap. its horrible. nd the whol e fire thing i will xpalin. berry was the oldest sone of the foster mom and i just happened to b there when he was have a fight with gwendelin his siter and he said tht if she didint do something he was gonna set me on fire so he grab me and light up he match nd held it to the top of my head. nd i was 4 or 5. n the people tht were fighting were like 19 somehwere around there
well my birth name is Crystal Marie Kelly. then once i was adopted my dad is half greek and half italian. so my name became Crystal Marie Demetriades (which i like better than Kelly). umm my youngest brother and sis wasnt allowed to have contact with me cuz u see b4 i was adopted my youngest brother and sis and me and my oldest brother all lived in the same foster home. my youngest sister and brother got adopted by those foster parents ( the lady tht i talk about is a witch) she is the mom
so i feel bad for those two and m oldest sisters i have kept somewhat contact in until the past few months. i dont talk with them right now cuz of thing tht r goin on. its to dangerous
Beautiful! This is really inspiring! You're right, things can turn out okey, even if they look bad. God loves us all, we just believe!

hi sorry it has taken me so long. here is what im saying.
My Name Is Crystal Marie Demetriades.Thru dance I share with you my life story.
When I was a baby I was abandoned, rejected, and abused.There were six of us| two boys and four girls.Social Services rescued my brothers and sisters and me.My oldest sisters went to an orphanage the rest of us went to a foster home but it was no home.there once again I was abandoned, rejected, and abused.
broadwaybabestar 3 years ago
They held a lighter to my head and lit it. They threatened to set me on fire.I was three when the foster father kicked me down the stairs.|The foster mother was a witch. Always casting evil spells on me.|To help me escape.I had these wonderful dreams. I would sit on Gods lap, and He would say to me everything is alright. You are safe and Im watching you always. I love you.
broadwaybabestar 3 years ago
when things were really bad I would see angels around me.I prayed for a new mommy and daddy. Nice, loving, and kind parents.By the time I was six my prayers were answered. We were rescued, my brother and me. By two people who must have been sent by God. My brother was a year older than me.He was suicidal. He threw knives hoping hed hit me. I was his target. My parents did everything they could to help him.
broadwaybabestar 3 years ago
He was eleven and sent away to an institution. He left and half my heart is empty. I will always feel this way.I act, I sing, I dance. I have wonderful parents, friends, and teachers. I feel blessed by God. Thank you
