GORGEOUS dancer. she has so much technique and beautiful lines. however i didn't really like the song or dance, i felt like she could have had something with so much more. i was amazed at how good she is for twelve years old. amazing job! keep up the great work!
@roxydancer88 maybe her turns ARE supposed to have bent knees....who knows, only the dancer, the family and the dancer may know....her turns were incredible and it was impeccable out of 304 other solos and why are Derek no videos of you up if you are a real dancer????
Beautiful dancer - she has amazing technique and I love her flexibilty and pointed toes!!! She keeps getting better and if she is this great at 12 I bet she will be amazing to watch over the next few years!!! Great job!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Umm... Am I the only REAL dancer here?? She has nice legs and feet..... But her turns were VERY sloppy, her legs were not straight while she was turning and her technique is poor... I would give this dancer a 4/15
her turns were actually well controlled, and her technique is incredible especially for a 12 year old! she trains a lot in ballet and what not. Real dancer eh? then why are there no videos of you up?
@roxydancer88 wow...you're actually bagging her turns? they were incredibly well controlled; her technique is impeccable. it's alright to be critical...only if it's supported by evidence. and your criticism lacked it....greatly!
@MsDancers100 No, you misunderstood. I'm not talking about competition style "facials". I mean the expressions on her face that show what she's feeling during the dance. I think they could portray something more! I guess I should've been more clear :)
Everything was absolutely phenomenal, but I think that a little more expression on her face would really take this solo to the next level and make it even more jaw dropping! Sorry to be "that person" that makes a comment about the dancers expressions, but it's true! She's a lovely dancer, though. She's definitely going places!
@Gabstos96 lots of ppl wear jazz shoes instead of foot undeez or foot paws for lyrical bcuz its easier to turn and u wont get that many blisters and stuff and also the showstopper floor is EXTREMELY sticky so in lyrical shoes u usually will get TONS of blisters
@dancingdani99 Actually, yes to a lot of them - there are some forced-arch turns and turns where she is supposed to plie during the sequence that the chorographer put in the dance where her knees are supposed to be bent.
@Piherf Hi - this is Christina's mother and she was born in September of 1998 - absolutely 12 years old. Many competitions do require birth cetificates as proof of age. She has been competing since she was 4 and a lot of people have seen her grow up. She is 5'2" and wears make up on stage like they all do, and she has developped a certain poise when she dances from all the years of critiques from judges and strangers over the years.
That's what happens when a very talented person also works very hard. I've worked with her, she has a more mature look for age and she definitely dances way beyond her age. Maybe that's why some people think she was older.
@Piherf youth competitions often require a birth certificate to prove their age, know what your talking about before you accuse. ive met christina and seen her many times, she is 12.
Christina is a dedicated dancer and consistently is a top performer and has excellent technique. This dance is performed with precision, grace and feeling. Love it. She does not lie about her age.
She's a really good dancer, but her hair is kind of distracting...but it's really pretty:) idk how she can dance with her hair flying in her face!!! Lol. But she's so graceful and controlled
Christina - you did a beautiful job - I know how hard you work at your training and how much dance means to you. You are amazing and only 12! Thanks to all for the postive comments!
I LOVE HER! she was at my JUMP dance convention and she made the auditions obviously. she is amazing and beautiful. but she never puts her hair up! haha i lovee thiss
holy, so much controle. so talented
