[PointeDreams123]

[Riinasaurr]

Amazing job! So beautiful. -3

[FabDoll18]

Straighten up your legs on leaps... Very beautiful

[TwighlightRose]

wow

the hands and arms are fantastic in this piece

they really create beauty in the lines, especially at 1:04 - 1:08

[TwighlightRose]

wow

the hands and arms are fantastic in this piece

they really create beauty in the lines

[cottoncandyplease]

Beautiful sense of movement and fluidity in the upper body. Turnout needs work. Very nice dance!

[amberdiane18]

very good!! but one point to remember foutte's your suppose to open your knee to the side not the front otherwise it looks like a cancan dancer. but very good!!!!

[Romi0493]

amazing.!

[EmiahIzAwesome11]

OMG!i love this routine soooooo much u r a great dancer...Keep it up!

[magicpeacock97]

really good you just need to learn how to straighten your knees but other than that really good 

[SarahTheModernDancer]

beautiful fortes

[MaddiBoo11]

wow i love this song and she danced so well 2 it! bravo!!

[MissMusicxxx]

I think you have a really nice posture and leg linement and everything but i think your more of a ballerina than lyriacal becuaselyricals are more flowy dance with suspension and that but you did a great job :)

[shayna515]

good job well done :) you are a beautiful dancer just pointe your toes :)

[GrimBallerina]

It was good! But you do need to find some kind of connection between you and the music and that'll just top everything off. YOu were so fluid and that was good, but maybe if you were just a TAD bit graceful with your arms and you were a bit stiff in some parts. But you are a really good dancer. But if your going to dance, then Really DANCE.

[LuliLissy]

I totally loved watching this. it's the most beautiful lyrical solo I've seen on YouTube!

What a great body, what a great choreography,what a great YOU!=)

Keep going, you are a wonderful dancer!

Greets from Europe!

[Angelinflight99]

Great job! I know nothing about dancing so ya lol Beautiful!!

[emmajade25]

when you do your fautees point your toes. :)

but you're amazing.

put some more emotion toooo. connect with the music.

[lovecomesonce]

lol its spelt fouette

[emmajade25]

@lovecomesonce oops, haha, my bad. D: fouette. :)

[ohyeahjessalicious]

good choreography, but there wasn't a connection between you &the emotions behind the song. you have beautiful extensions, but your moves lacked confidence. you have to demand that stage. work on emotion &prescence, &you will go very far :]

[kisspetal]

i agree.

[brennnaaaa]

this is an awesome dance &your a great dancer, ! you should try putting more emotion into it, - drag every motion till the next move so its more flowy &lyrical,(:

but verrryyyy verrryyyyy good!

[Chipmunk914]

i thought it was really good. im no dancer but i agree with the fact that ur toes need to point a bit more and it needs more emotion. i meen i get that maybe u just dont feel connected to this song but its so much more.. interesting to watch someone dance who has real emotion towards the song. other than that tho it was great. ur an awsome dancer. and i luv this song

[chicadee133]

point those toes!!

[danzer1793]

i think it lacked emotion...

[icklebitty]

I second that.

[haveFaithxabbie]

ur an amazing dancer but u shud straighten ur knees better =D

[tessaisfreakingrad]

very nice technique :)

[DancingRangaKid]

i do agree with everyine else :D.... but i think you need to try to stretch your legs a bit more to get a lengthed line. and try to control your upper body and arms on your turns and jumps, and to show emotion throughout this peice...but apart from that it was beautiful choreography!

[lachiclette]

you're a great dancer :)

[cayjay09]

beautiful!! you are a very good dancer!

[bryllepua]

nice fouettes and grand jetes :)

[xodance88ox]

need to work on turnsss. make it more clean.

[staciemichelle12]

Beautiful choreography! you are such an ahmazing dancer. you've rlly inspired me as a dancer myself.

[Lilythesinger]

i agree with tinker. feel it girl!

[tinkerb14]

you seem a little stiff maybe you should feel the song more otherwise you were great

[lakette13]

i did the dance with my studio!.....you did amazing!

[songloverlolxx]

OMG SAMME v i did it for an audition and i got the main dance solo xD was tres good :) haha i did it for school cause its called Junior drama and it was really good :) xx <3

[ih8britni]

I had a solo to this dance to! im 13

[dance0ruby]

simply beautiful!!

[alladditud94]

You are a good dancer. Throughout your movements though you should try to work on your fluentsy. you are doing really good. Keep dancing.

[PaigeAleah22]

You're an amazing dancer. This left me speechless. Keep dancing and never stop. You have potential. You move so freely and flowing its very inspirational to see someone dance so well. Beautiful dance to a beautiful song!

[dancingforever07]

beautiful but try to keep your legs straighter.

[Hanila576]

wow i tried learning this dance, i found it seriously draining and i have been dancing for seven years. haha i think that means i dont have a good stamina lol

well anyway beautiful song choice and dancing. i dont have any criticsm it think its amazing.

[Tragicaldancer]

you rock,! i like your emotions... but from the middle of dance your emotions were disapearing! and try to do shorter pauses. :) but i like u.

[one2true4love]

ohmygosh, you are so talented! i`m jealous. really. this was beautiful.

[theCarlsonFamily]

Thank you for all of your postive comments and critiques. This dance was from a couple years ago. There are more recent videos posted now too =]

[duckieluver22]

lyrical is such a beautiful and complex dance style and you made it look so effortless. i'm in lyrical, but i could never do this! you are an amazing dancer. :] i love this video.

[busytown65]

Great job! It's a shame there was so much talking in the background....peoples!!!!

[boyslikegirls4ever17]

wow!!!

[miss3goober]

finally

a lyrical dance performed by a girl wearing a costume that ISN'T skimpy. Beautiful job

[xxhannahbanana2]

good but you really need to work on your emotion. the body is great, face, not so much. but its really good and i know im a dancer. also, work on making it a little stronger at the climax or intense part of the song so the audience can feel the passion and strength in your movements and the music. not bad though.

[devoteddramaqueen]

I agree. It had very nice flow and good technique, but a little bit more emotion would be the icing on the cake. And when you have the jump sequence, i would go for a little bit more height. But overall, really nice performance that i seriously envy!

[alimackie]

Really good, and really pretty too!

Just work on your hands and keeping your arms nice and strong.

Maybe build up more passion when you come to the exiting pionts of the song!

But overall nicely done! :)

[lovelytania623]

really pretty<3

[littlenasty63]

nice arebeque, good foutess, and barrel jump

[gottalovetherain]

sorry *thumbs*!

[gottalovetherain]

I love only hope. Beautiful costume and good potential as a dancer but I would recommend taking more ballet lessons to work on the technique a bit because at times the hands were like all thumps and kind of claw like. Not pretty!

But good job!

[ballerinakt006]

wow u r really good!! the only complaint is that sometimes during the dance, the moves go a little too fast for the tempo of the music - but it is amazing and the choreography is amazing! good job and keep dancing ur heart out!!!! :)

[mixedgurl142]

i like this dance alott. good job =]

[affectivity]

The only thing that bothered me was the expressionlessness of her expression. She seemed to be sulking. But there is a lovely lightness to her jumps. I wish her well! Nice light jumps.

[foxportions92]

so stiff.

[kyliiekeen]

your beautiful and ur lines are great..

and ur body is truly one of a dancers

[lorikat16]

I love that dress. It's beautiful. Amazing dancing also.

[HoboJam007]

dang. this is really really good!

[icemom09]

Beautiful! I see that you wrote that she no longer dances with the studio. Did she quit or is she still dancing? Because this is her thing I hope she still dances!It is noce to see a DANCE!Not just tricks. Great job!

[theCarlsonFamily]

Thank you for the kind comments - yes, by the way she is still dancing. She's on dance company with her current performing arts school.

[icemom09]

Well she is so good1 i hope my daughter continues when she is older. She is so graceful~!

[Dancerr0]

ohh. i just thought that because she has really good posture and pointed toess.

[theCarlsonFamily]

oh, she has taken a lot of ballet over the years with different studios.

[Dancerr0]

is this studio mostly ballet?

[theCarlsonFamily]

No, not even close. She no longer dances with the studio, but they had a good mix of jazz, lyrical, ballet, tap, hip hop, and musical theater.

[jacobsondaly]

You are so pretty. I love your dance. from loni

[Southernpride1224]

This is very good:)

Work on facial emotions and pointing the toes then you will be pretty close to perfect

[rhggp]

awhh your bloodie amazing , im not a dancer or anything and i dont have any advice , but i coudn't critisize a single movement it was beautiful .

x x x

[chelle5858]

was really good but make sure you point your toes :)

[iheartbillkaulitz24]

This was okay, put more emotion because the whole time you have this stale, emotionless face...and work on your in-between footing..I noticed a ton of flat-footed steps and sickling. At 1:02, when you went into your attidude, your supporting leg's knee was bent. Otherwise, you did pretty good!

[balletchick8092]

shes a really gud dancer except to soft, need more emotion, an not careful on the supporting legs an pointing. like that turshate i cant spell it though. any way i dont think its entirly her fault i really didnt like the choreography. u did gud! ^-^

[xxDancingBabyxx]

hey that was really nice

[horsechick14]

Very poetic & beautiful!

I have to do a solo this year, and I want to use this song, but the Switchfoot version :)

[blastkohl]

Nice job Kyleigh...beautiful and appropriate. Keep up the good work!

[Marlyyyy93]

That was really beautiful

[Phillips917]

nice coustome and song

[sonicslush496]

She's amazing.

Lyrical can be hard to pay attention to but her movements are so graceful that I couldnt take my eyes off her!

She reminds me of another girl at my dance studio, because she kinda looks like her and dances like her.

[Emeraldrose26]

Your so gooddd. =DD Make sure you keep your leg turned out on the fouettes but awesome job. =D

[hallekaygee]

kyleigh did such a good job!

[Jennifer7272]

omg that was so beautiful *tear*

great job

[misstinkerbell83]

gorgeous job! How old is she?

[theCarlsonFamily]

She's 14 now...13 in the video.

[lakenessa]

i love it!!!!!awsome!!!!but you didnt point your toes on some moves..but i still loved it!

[rivercitydance]

Woo-Hoo! Great Job Kyleigh! -Madi

[becca146]
