Melanie Moore - Moonlight - DRAwn to Dance Performance

[JspTwerk]

She has such skill and spirit that goes into all of her dances when she performs. Any dance company that has her should be grateful to have such a legend on their team. She has inspired me to go extra hard in all of my pointe and ballet classes.

[Breezyday57]

[LifeAsWeDance]

[coolhannah14]

1:23 is amazing! just a simple flew and point of the toes but SO beautiful!

[Damnlass]

i think that some young girls (Autumn Miller, Mia Diaz, Denah Gregory) would dance it better.... but i like it

[Rumbledumblebable]

she can be so aquard and so graceful at the same time.. stunning!

[samkaywitt]

she is so beautiful

[boomslangchao]

my friend told me that the moves she did are all techniques but most people can already do it...so how do you tell if the dancer is good? someone help cuz im new

[InsaneKittyScarlett]

Melanie is so talented! She is definitely one of my role models in life. Keep up the amazing work, Melanie! 

[FionaMonaexoxo]

I love her modern dance

@MusicxXxLoverx contemperary

[laralovesmusic1]

[xchiaroscura]

This girl is unreal.

[lisa0240]

She makes it look so easy and flawless. Beautiful!

[bambigirl518]

what is this songg?!?!?

[nfl10032]

@bambigirl518 it says the song name under the video...its called "The Meadow" from the Twilight New Moon soundtrack

[xlovednevermorex]

omg audience stfu!!!

[viriotie]

She reminds me of Sylvie Guillem when she moves and dances. She's beautiful.

[babelfish567]

She moves so fluidly and she herself is like a piece of great music -- there's no extraneous movement!!

[mariuh1995]

this reminds me so much of Black Swan 

[ale2zee]

does anyone know the name of this song?

[s1ng4FOURu]

@ale2zee Bella's lullaby from the twilight soundtrack

[no1inparticular]

@ale2zee It's actually not Bella's Lullaby... The song is called The Meadow (from The Twilight Saga: New Moon) by Alexandre Desplat.

[ale2zee]

@no1inparticular Thanks! It's great song to listen to while studying LOL

[franzhale]

@ale2zee it's actually "the meadow" by t alexandre desplat from twilight saga new moon

[sweetchunks22]

She looks like a sprite. Beautiful. Magical. I'm in awe.

[kiwilaplaya]

love how the audience just shuts it when she flips over on her toes at 0:11 :D

[teecurp]

woowwww! this is my first time watching her dance! i knew she won the SYTYCD .. but gossshhh! so graceful! i never saw anyone like her!

[fashiondanceprincess]

work on feet

[caitlynlettuce]

This is one of the most amazing dances I have ever seen. Pure artistry

[Natacha12345]

what style dancing is this?

[evilazulan]

She's like a magic pixie swan dancer. Love how she didn't just wear like a tutu, do some fancy leaps or whatever and called herself a "swan", her movements were very birdlike yet elegant and oh so controlled.

I'm so jealous haha!

[sk8tergrl181]

@evilazulan yea well, those "tutus" and fancy leaps mean a whole carreer to me,and its called "CLASSICAL BALLET". that hurt my feelings,so you dont just go criticizing other types of dancing cause just u dont like it!its more than leaps and tutus,its calming and classical beauty,hip hop is a whole different type of dancing but i respect it,cause people like that dance and then theyll be upset.

[evilazulan]

@sk8tergrl181 a) Calm down and toughen up b) I acutally love ballet c) I meant that her quirky, interesting moves resemble birdlike (swanlike) movements more closely than if she had done, like that little shoulder shake move (according to me anyway) d) this is a public forum so I can say whatever the hell I want. Goodbye!

[eclipsedancer7]

she makes me never want to leave ballet class.

[GGCosmetics]

@eclipsedancer7 She makes me sorry I left my ballet class.... very sorry.

[StevennATN]

So that turn at :12.....on her toes.....what?

[yellowdot1100]

@StevennATN its called a toe rise

[StevennATN]

@yellowdot1100 no I know! haha I'm saying that it's pretty fuckin amazing. She's perfect.

[yellowdot1100]

@StevennATN oh ok and your right she is amaze

[lovefight1136]

@StevennATN Toe rise, i think

[QueenieQue]

@StevennATN I know! It's my favorite dance move. There's a famous Romanian gymnast named Daniela Silivas who always put toe/ankle rolls in her floor routines. You should check them out!

[KiraKiraChannel]

@StevennATN thats what they do on pointe but you cant see it w/ the ballet shoes and all-amazing right?

[zamusicza]

Grace. Caged and captured for two minutes and thirty three seconds.

[Karynamole]

She is sooooo amazing.

[SummersDyingFast]

Love the choreo!

[Hinamori591]

her dance resembles the dying swan from swan lake thats why she seems like a swan. took me a minute to figure that out haha. man, she is beautiful though. i love watching her dance, i could watch all day.

[bagwa5]

oh wow. Perfection in motion

[TheGemini610]

SHE'S LIKE A SWAN, BEAUTIFUL && PURE. HER AWKWARD MOVEMENTS COUPLED WITH HER TECHNIQUE IS FLAWLESS, SHE IS A TREMENDOUS DANCER && DESERVED TO BE RECOGNIZED... I LOVE THIS PIECE.

[BAMitsNatalie]

werk hair clip

[dancingaubrey]

[halloweengal96]

[MsPria88]

[yellowdot1100]

@MsPria88 the meadow

[staphon123]

[Leashcan32]

[dancedancingbiatch1]

[YoItsJourdan]

Took my breath away, I need my inhaler.

[YoItsJourdan]

Took my breath away, I need my inhaler.

[ballet818]

1:07  :O

[MrBeastnigger]

increadible. i love you melanie more!! you've made me look at dance in a completely new way!

[ForteIIV]

This is why I love dance. It can show just what a magnificent piece of work the human body is. This is a great example that shows the limits we can push our bodies to. And we are the only living creatures on this earth who can express this art, and appreciate it. WOW

P.S. Wish I could dance like that!

[MrsHoek]

That was so, so gorgeous. She's so wonderful.

[TheAAA64]

She is GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAT

[babyvan18]

so beautiful...

[xjustinxlover]

People love to hate.

Like it's ridiculous.

Just like any other dancer on the show, she pulled a certain dance out of a hat, & thats what it was. Some people are just naturally able to dance anything. I mean.. she had to do hiphop & ballroom & shit, in vegas. Melanie is a phenomenal dancer, & she deserved to win. Nough' said.

[BuziLaucas]

"So you think you can dance" is lucky to have you! and so do we!

[BuziLaucas]

hey, you are in Brazil too! and we loooove your dance!!! GRAND!

[mdooms76]

WOW!! Melanie is so amazing and well deserving of the SYTYCD title. Each and every body movement down to her fingertips is pure artistic expression! Her body says it all without words or lyrics to the song...pure genius!

[snakebitphotography]

Song: New Moon (The Meadow) - Alexandre Desplat

[littlemissme260]

what song song is this masterpeice to

[MoandSnoopy242]

This is very close to her sytycd audition!

[iop1898]

@MoandSnoopy242  its the same routine she just shortened it same music and everything

[sportsmusic114]

I do believe the first part of this was her audition for sytycd. Who knew she would end up being one of the best dancers they ever had, and Win?! haha congrats mel!

[Lillyvon]

This girl is possibly the best dancers I've seen on SYTYCD - easily. It's a gift she has - and she is amazing!

[msdancer4]

My most favorite dancer ever.

[wikct2]

She is like the Alex Wong but for the female part. She is not just great dancer but a nice person too. She is my favor.

[SirLibran]

Think I died at 0:53.

[kulturowo]

i think for her impossible is nothing.

[imsillyareyou]

this is brilliant

[tinymavy]

she looked like a mermaid. just divine

[KojakChronicles]

wonderful. what's the song title?

[ronnievirk]

She's like the dancing version of Tinkerbell :P <3

[dewey44]

This woman has "Star" written all over her.

[kiscool11]

Art coming alive. Melanie you are amazing!!!!!

[Powerballet98]

Wow. I was lost for inspiration in dance and worried my years of dancing might be coming to a close until I saw this. It's given me a drive to do well again!

[HarryXlovesXDraco22]

This was also the dance to her solo! :D

[theDsomething]

i hate it when people scream in the middle of the performance, they totally mess up my concentration

[kingbolbo1]

the choreography is amazing... i am the most in love with melanie moore anyone could ever be. if she choreographed this, my heart will explode

[slapmedia]

MELANIE M0:00RE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[rickritt12221968]

omg she won!!!!

[ilovebieber1436]

some give me the ability to dance like that!

[4everdancelover]

Oh my jesus. She is purely amazing!!

[Angelinangel86]

So.... Best dancer ever, right?

[angelbaby233]

whats the song that comes on at the end??!? its like a violen?

[yellowdot1100]

@angelbaby233 its gonna be a long walk is the song

[slapmedia]

CONGRATULATIONS MELANIE!!! WAY TO WIN SYTYCD!!! AMAZING DANCING!!! :)

[mkenyag]

Love this, this is like a deconstructed black swan solo, amazing!

[dqDST1913]

Natalie Portman is SO lucky "Black Swan" came out well before this season...she would never have stood a chance OR gotten that Oscar.....

[caitlynlettuce]

Her dancing is exquisite! This is so beautiful & angelic

[lucky14829]

And she did win! She is exquisite! And she had some pretty tough competition this year.

Keep on dancing Melanie!

[hollysdad]

incredible incredible incredible.

[mcasdancer9613]

Amazing. Those legs are all muscle.

[xmiggs93x]

without the music this looks so stupid

[Zaxxon2008]

@xmiggs93x without a brain you sound retarded

but thanks for playing! now back in your box

[dccarlos15]

She used pieces of this for her top 6 solo on SYTYCD8!!!! OMG O___O

[Rumbledumblebable]

She won!

[MsOpeA]

shes magical.



[TheRobertFitz]

This Southern Belle won yeehaw

[Iris054]

Mesmerizing and utterly endearing. Her dancing is magnificent, stunning. This little charmer has an extremely bright future. I'm so glad she won on SYTYCD. She richly deserved it. I can't wait to see more of her. I hope she gets to do the new 'Dirty Dancing' movie. All of America will fall in love with her.

[greengem418]

She is so theatrical - I love it!

[DstyrThrtn]

What's the name of this song

[livelovedream014]

@DstyrThrtn name of the song is new moon(the meadow) from the twilight saga new moon soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat

[VeronicaAlsina]

So glad I got to see this entire piece! She's incredible! From the audition on SYTYCD you knew she'd win. She deserved it -- she's amazing!!! Does anyone know the name of the music being used in this dance? It's wonderful.

[crazyfire100]

so graceful.

[heyyninaa]

She's THE best dancer I have ever seen in my ENTIRE life.

I love her.

[jjjjjj3790]

i look up to her as a dancer... she is my inspiration . i WILL TRY TO BECOME AS GOOD AS A DANCER AS HER OR EVEN BETTER (if thts even possible ) i want to meet her in person!!!

[juliabuffam]

I'm mesmerized by her, i literally cant stop watching. She's the best dancer I've ever seen by far. She's got sytycd in the bag

[mich6875]

I can't stop watching...

[supermanraph8807]

She dances from her heart and you truly gotta love that! Everything about her from her sweet personality to her striking and graceful moves leave everyone breathless. She surely is going to win SYTYCD <3

[marvalooloo]

wats the song?

[MoiraElizabeth1997]

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SONG?!

[mitzi4rhys]

I'm really glad to say this... She was even better than this in SYTYCD audition of the same piece!

[musicmama888]

OMG I have so happy this is on here. I cannot even express to you how INFURIATED I was when they kept cutting to her mom and the judges when she did this. I wanted to see it all, and now I FINALLY can!!!!!

[lovelylavenderbell]

Melanie is so graceful, so beautiful.  I was moved to tears by this piece. I can honestly say I have never seen a dancer that evoked so much emotion and heart. Breathtaking.

[tickytoky123]

No offense but she's not that good

[snowgirl1728]

@tickytoky123 you should keep ur negative comments to yourself and learn how to watch sytycd

[LadySingBlues10]

@tickytoky123 seriously? i'm pretty sure FLAWLESS commitment, extenions, techinque, and dynamic is enough to qualify someone as good. let's see you try that routine and then we'll see who the "good" one is.

[kittysuperhero]

this is...almost exactly like her audition O-o

nonetheless x], I love it~

[TRITISHA]

most beautiful thing i ever did see!

[1129belle]

People keep saying that she hasnt been vhallenge on sytycd but she did hiphop and ballroom thats pretty challenging and they just dont understand that she is good in everything!!!! She even said she was trained in a little bit of everything!! So just b quiet u haters

[Broadway1408]

This piece is everything to me!

[zz878]

I don't care what everyone keeps saying about her not being challenged on SYTYCD There is not another girl on the show who could dance this routine. To stop mid spin like she does at 106 requires tremendous strength. She is a power house, beautiful, elegant and dances with a maturity and beauty I have never seen from somone so young, I could watch her all day.

[danielarian]

@zz878 absolutely agree - she will win. She has everyone's heart and mind. A STAR just being discovered.

[Completesatori]

@zz878 Agreed, though some of us said it during the show, hindsight says that she was head and shoulders above even the best female competitors. Strength, technique, maturity and her ability to connect with the piece and the audience without even having to make eye contact all make watching her a wonderful experience.

[Cake6595]

She Deserves to Win. Not only is she humble but she's the best dancer i've ever seen.

[swtmichelle]

Does anyone know what the title of this song is and the composer?.... its so beautiful and her dance so elegant :)

[zz878]

@swtmichelle The Meadow by Alexander Desplat

[swtmichelle]

@zz878 Thank you!!! :)

[danielayk]

She will :)

[marathongirlllll]

wow

[thepolymathwriter]

So stunning. Melanie Moore, you inspire me to dance. You embody the passion, the heart, and the essence of dance itself. Thankyou for going on SYTYCD and sharing it with the world. Every time I see you dance, I get chills. Stunning, amazing, and deserving of winning the title and shaping the world of modern dance. Thankyou for inspiring so many young dancers out there.

[valenise]

She's flawless and she makes every move look so light and easy.

[ecl411]

She feels it from her hair follicles to her toenails. The girl is one with music, the moments between the music, and the movements. She's seriously a star.

[tang0ang3l]

What a wonderful dancer. I am amazed! Greetings from Argentina

[bubbles124682]

i am not a dancer and i pretty much know nothing about it. but she is just amazing. on the show when she did this dance she said she hadn't been a good dancer but she put her mind to it. you are going to win SYTYCD melanie !!!!!!!!!!!
