  • Also, just because the music speeds up, doesn't mean the dancer has to as well.

  • But that just makes it too busy. Again with the lack of melodic timing. The dancer just comes off as slightly forced; trying to fit in as many moves as possible. It just doesn't work. If you isolate the dancer's steps then you can tell that she is a good dancer. But when you put them all together with that timing and that music it just doesn't come across for me.

  • It's good.... but it doesn't flow very well.

    After a while it's just like "I know you can jump and turn. What else can you do?!"

  • @huamingmiao , umm? pirouette,jette,arabesque,impu­lses,splits,backflips,braunies­,contractions,tell me what didn't you see that you thought was missing?

  • @ennael7 I  think @huamingmiao means that she exercises not dance, with that I agree...and for ballet dancer she is not very flexible. She is good and has potential...

  • It looks too choreographed. There was no personality

  • Great job! =)

  • Of course it was very good, but claiming it is the best ever cabaret jazz solo is going a bit far. It is simply not THE BEST if I'm being totally honest. Please don't take that as hate or even an insult, this is amazing.

    And, I guess the title did get me to click when I otherwise might not have, so it's done it's job.

    I have lost track of the reason for posting this comment... Well, I've written it now.

  • my solo to when ur good to mama from chicago is better... just saying

  • @douglasgn66 would love to see it. Please post it on your page . You have 68 clips but not 1 of them are of you dancing? I would be pleased to watch your clip of you dancing to " when your good to mama".

  • a very clean dance :) she didnt lose dynamics at all during the dance!

  • Great dance, but I think it could have used a stronger jazz influence, the ballet training is very apparent, and that song is such a strong jazz number...it needed that jazz attitude! regardless, a beautiful and very technically talented dancer=)

  • what's her name?

  • Thanx tatianamarina , but It is NOT a FAKE tan !!!

    This is her natural summer tan, thanks to her Scicillian father!

  • Thanx tatianamarina , but It is NOT a FAKE tan !!!

  • stop talking about her tan. she is amazing.

    if she was pale you would talk about that too.

    almost all competitive dancers go out and get spray tans before a competition.

  • I made it. Stretch brushed satin lycra. , flesh insert, glittered with JonesTones glue and Ice White hoolographic glitter, Then finished with Maria George Schwarzkofy Crystals and Lazer cut Silver Glitter. The skirt is just the lycra cut into 6mm strips and glittered.

  • do you remember where you got her costume i love it!

  • Too bad dancers aren't given a chance at the roles for dance and singing in the movies. Faces are in!

  • her timing is perfect

  • wow she is really good and she is not too tanned

  • wow she is really goood and she is not too tanned

  • uh, maybe she should buy some sunscreen? just saying :P

  • certainly a VERY good routine and dancer, she has a great smile and her routine was flawless. my only complaint is the title and the information given, and i might sound silly when i say this but i do not think that the routine was appropriate for that song. you see in the broadway/west end show and the film it is much more simpler steps that does not require that amount of skill, it is very much poses and jazz steps :)

  • one certainly can see the ballet background: softness, (don't know a correct word in English) 'preparation' for jumps, etc. Then there's yet another rather tyypical ballet dancer 'problem' - timing and accents: she was late more than once. But that's extremely common amongts ballet dancers doing show & jazz routines. All that said, quite a nice dance - no much complaints.

  • her costume is sooo exciting :)

  • i think shes very talented obviously... but the choreography was kind of boring and her attitude didnt have the emotion that the song carries....

  • This is definately NOT the best Cabaret Jazz Solo!... My friends, i think you need to watch more videos and competitions around the World. My ex-girlfriend is gradauted from Julliard, and trust me, i have seen a lot better Dancers than this girl. I am sorry if i am honest, but i don´t play with what i like and love living for... "Dancing is not my Job... it´s my life".

  • i cant do that

  • Thought solo's were only supposed to be 2:30 max. >_<

  • The choreography wasnt that great, however she has Awesome lines and flexibility.

  • AWSOME I LOVE IT DID U WIN A TROPHIE

  • It is brilliant, theres no need for people to get jelous!

  • ive danced for years and i thought this was amazing

    i didnt like the floor movement i think she could have made that a bit more intense

    but she was amazing and beautiful and i think you could really tell that she loves to dance.

    and seriousley fuk what these people say and i think its great that your standing by your daughter she is one amazing dancer

  • yea, i'd do her.

  • sorry...... it wasnt as good as I thought it was gonna be. Her forte turns were not so good.

  • i like the part were she kicked her leg up

    wow she is cool!!

  • i wuz looking at jazz videos like this on youtube and wuz losing faith in the world of dance until i saw this one. shes incredible!

  • the best cabaret dance solo?

    not quite

  • loved it

  • well that's clrearly a ballet dancer but jazz is more about attitude and acting for good sake! besides she really didn't catch the speed of the music, didn't respect its moments and emotions. The dancing tecniques were fine but absolutely mechanical

  • She is very good but her turns are very messy, but if i was her parent I would be very proud also

  • your fake tan sucks and thats the voice from the movie...face it youre the meg of broadway as in meg griffin

  • Malina is fantastic! I have always loved her dancing. Well done!

  • I love this dance! BTW @ennael7 You are Roxie Chicago by the look of the comments

  • @Pinkarooty no sorry I'm not ,But I am her mum.

  • @ennael7 how old is she

  • @2100aero she was 2 mths off 25.

  • @ennael7 how old is she at the time ?

  • I love this

  • but I think I'll take the judgement of The Royal Academy of Dance examiners who have never given less than an Honors with Distinction for technical ability in Advanced stream exams, in an International Exam format.

    Keep commenting good and bad, I love reading them. I'm her mum and I think she's wonderful.She's no longer dancing as she is now a married mum and approuching 30. But some of her students are enjoying the same technical respect in the wider dance community.

  • It was a Caberet /Show style dance, not an acrobatic dance.If she were performing an acrobatic dance then her high kicks would have achieved past vertical but this was a dance with control in the technique. The ability to do a routine full of high kicks and nothing else does not make the dancer a "good" dancer, just a person who can kick high!!

    As for comments about her technique, everyone to their own opinion and all comments are welcome,

  • I have watched numerous videos on here and there seems to be an opinion that if a person can "kick high" then they are a good dancer? High Kicks where a vertical split is achieved is a Rythmic Gymnastics movement not a dance technique. It is not a thing you will see performed by the great dancers of the Russian Ballet companies or The Royal Ballet, performing the classics.

  • hmmm weird, if you say she's a ballerina/amazing dancer, then how come her high kicks are so low? i mean, i do dancing, never been to a competition and yet my high kicks are to my shoulder-i aint even a prof. ballerina! bad training?

  • It was good!! Work on fouettes but good extension! I would say your ballet training hurt you a bit though, because you were a bit too light on your feet in some of the foot work for fosse. Liked the tumbling. Make sure that you don't just smile through all the sexy stuff though

  • I liked it!!!

  • She's great, but ballet and jazz dance styles are miles away... I mean, I like it and everything but I don't get the "best jazz" part. Maybe best ballet interpretation of a jazz song? lol I'm sure her scores are good, she's great, it's just the title I think people are confused about.

  • she definitely needs more ballet training. her fouttes are horrible for a ballerina and so is her technique. It wasn't too bad though

  • Wow i love the use of the prop!!!!!(chair)

  • I was taught to never have my back to the audience adn her back was i dont get that im going to show this video to my instructor so maybe she will get off my back

  • shes good but her kick and leaps are a bit stiff looking

  • shes fabulous! I wish i could dance like her :)

  • I don't think she deserved to win...I've seen way better...

  • this is not cabaret, is more like a ballet dancer or acrobat trying to do jazz music,

    honey, stick to ballet!!

    dont quit your day job!

  • you can tell she's a ballet dancer by her turnout.

  • far too delicate, I agree with those who said jazz is not her style. Roxie is greedy for attention, she's not afraid to play it very dirty, she's ready to do anything if it brings her fame and I didn't feel any of that in her performance. It felt like seeing a prepubescent girl hopping around gracefully... definitely not Roxie...

  • good dancing

  • she sucks. cool she can do an arial. her leaps and turns are terrible. she is not good this is deffinitley not the best routine

  • Awesome!!!!

  • Brillant

  • she sucks. wtf is this.

  • lol... someone is very proud to label this as the best... I mean she is good but Idk....

  • The Best Cabaret Jazz Dance Solo? don't think so lol

  • you know, for something said to be the 'best routine to Roxie Hart' , I didn't find it that great. Sure, her ballet technique is great, but there wasn't enough Jazz to it. Everything was fluffy and not sharp. Just my opinion, I'd rather see her do a ballet solo.

  • When you post a video to youtube, you are opening it up to discussion. And it doesn't all have to be good. Youtube has never stated that criticism is prohibited and I don't remember you doing so either.

    Sorry :/

  • @madfil2012 Please don't reply to me about anything that do not involve me personally... I would rather not have any dealings with your kind... you clearly are an internet bully you seem bored with nothing else to do with your time, except sit at your computer all day and comment on things you don't like... here's a tip!! Why don't you watch something that appeals to you so that you can have a more positive response.

  • @madfil2012 I THOUGHT I TOLD YOUR YOUNG ASS ONCE BEFORE I REALLY DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!! I DON'T DANCE ANY DAMN WAYS! STOP FUCKING SENDING ME MESSAGES!!

  • @madfil2012 Thanks! I guess we all get in rare form at times! Have a good day!

  • mmmm girrrl that fake tan is ridikulous! lol

  • Note to everyone!

    HER TAN IS NOT FAKE!

    It is 100% natural, courtesy of the Australian sunshine.

    She gets the same tan every year and has done so since she was little.

  • Nyehh. Her fouettes aren't very good yet. I wouldn't do them in a dance until they were at least close to perfect.

  • evidently you have far more technical ballet knowledge than many Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examiners.

    This dancer has NEVER recieved a mark less than Honors for her exams. In fact her last exam ( the 1 before Solo Seal) she recieved an Honors with Distinction! So according to you these examiners don't know what their talking about??? heh!!

  • Add to that she is a 6 times winner of The Borovanski Medal, awarded to the Ballet examination candidate with the highest technical mark in Australasia!! maybe these examiners don't know as much as you either???

    Really though, it's a good idea to know what your talking about before you shoot your mouth off again.

    This video was posted for entertainment value , not to be technically critiqued by people who ARE NOT qualified Ballet examiners!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry that I have obviously offended you so much. However, you probably shouldn't let youtube viewers' OPINIONS(I NEVER said that I was correct, I only said what I saw). I am sure that she is a wonderful dancer. You need to take a step back and think before you start attacking viewers.

  • Comment removed

  • @ennael7 proficiency in techniques does not mean her dancing translates well into the jazz arena, style and delivery wise.

  • Why does this look like ballet to jazz. Talented dancer but clearly looks like she should be doing ballet .

  • Amazing!

  • i really like that :) it was good choreography and she had a lot of control

  • Are you kidding, this is all steps with no show.

  • don't know what you call "DANCING" but I always thought it was doing LOTS of STEPS in sequence???????

    are you dumb or what!!!!!!!!

  • First, as far as a good dancer, she is sweet but as far as the choreography it is all steps and no story to the music. Obviously, you know nothing about dance if you have to call me names.

  • @bethdancer - Agree It looks off! like alot of cool dance steps being shown

  • you're right. it's mostly fake smile. no show

  • really nice all around.

    the tilt at the ending needed some work.

  • extension wasn't that great. she should work on stamina. she looked tired at the end or something. workd on her shoulder rolls too. it's like half shoulder rolls

  • pfft, it depends on who she was going against to be "the best"

  • wow this is really nice, i really enjoyed watching it, i love her ponche 2:50.

    such amazing technique and ALOT of character. where are these comps? country,state etc.

    congratulations you are a beautiful dancer. I'm 21 and have only been dancing for 3 years, my technique is improving but i would love to be able to pull off some of the stuff from this routine!!!

    well done missy!!!

  • Thanks to everyone for your lovely comments.

    She has now retired awaiting the birth of her 2nd child and these nice comments are so welcomed.

    have a smile and watch my other video of her little daughter.

  • love the attitude! I really felt the character, and it was a lot of fun to watch :) Were she wearing fake tan though?

  • Thnx. and no that is not a fake tan. It's 100% natural. That comp was held in the middle of our summer.

  • was*

    Ooh, awesome - must've been tiring, practising in the heat and all that then! Looks great :)

  • fun to watch! she's great :)

  • omg yawn... nice technique though

  • Yeh, get what you mean.

  • The perfect combination of flawless dancing and charactarazation. Pure bliss to watch. Kudos. :)

  • umm...

  • keep your shoulders down, i believe there needs to be more ballet training because the enthusaism and the charaacter was highley efficent. more technique and smoother transistions would be an asset to the piece

  • 6 times ACID Borovansky medal winner.

    Royal Academy of Dance Advanced major grade( the 1 before Solo Seal) ,honors with distinction. How much more technique do you require.

  • good job i really liked it x

  • I really enjoyed this. Im a dancer myself now, for 11 years and i think you used great technique, employed great character and varied the movements greatly. I think you did really well , good job.

    PS. to those of you with negative comments just dont post them.

  • i thought it was amazing! ur really good!

  • I love this! She looked like she was having fun which is great!! Great job!

  • I love this! She's such a good dancer, needs a little more flair and attitude, but this is really neat! I particularly love this song, I'm currently going through an obsession with Chicago!

  • This was almost flawless in my opinion :)

  • Thank you,

  • she needs to stay in the ballet area.

    jazz need to be sharp, and attitudey.

    i didn't see any of that. i just saw walking around, singing, with occasional leaps and splits. :)

  • Silly comments like this should be ignored! OR did you inadvertantly post this comment to the wrong video?

    What there IS NOT, is walking around. It is sharp,has technique, a large variety of movements and masses of sassy atitude.

  • Comment removed

  • This performance has it all! Thank you for all your hard work. Beautiful! :)

  • LOVE IT!!!!! I just put my 13yo in Jazz Dance classes but i am not happy with what i saw on there competiton tapes, i want her to excel but it's very costly! This young lady is great!!!

  • Good teachers should not be costly ,because they should be teaching for their love of dance. Rather than taking your daughter to a highly recognized dance school where they charge by their reputation, take her to a Ballet school.

    All ballerina's are able to dance jazz but no jazz dancer ,no matter how good at jazz ,can put on a pair of pointe shoes and dance repetoire enpointe! Thats why they are not expected to perform enpointe on shows like SYTYCD.

  • Thanks!!! I will look into that!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @madfil2012 ...? what are you talking about and why are you replying to me?

  • @TheMakeupMistress Sorry, I wasn't replying to you. It was to the poster because she replied to one of my comments very rudely. I didn't even mean for my original comment to sound rude. It was only a comment. And I'm not usually like that. I was just being really rude that week. I'm sorry to anyone I offended

  • Yeahhh i know thart (:

    But is there any chance i could know her name .. just to put it in my coursework as evidence that i didnt choreograph it?

    Thankyou x

  • I will ask her if she would like to pass on her details to you ok.

  • really good performance.. i loved it =)

  • good dance

  • Hey.

    (: i have to pick a piece of repetoire to perform for an A level dance, and i chose to do this (: its an amazing dance.. do you know the choreographers name by any chance? if so could i know it for my coursework it would be a big big help (: and did she have an inspirations for the dance?

    Anyways AMAZING dance (: I Love performing it.

    Thankyou thankyou lots x

  • The dancer , choreographed this piece herself.

  • Amazing dancer, but it needs to be roughened up a bit as at the moment it is too balletic. Jazz needs a bit of attitude.

  • agreed....too much ballet, but I agree, also with the poster, that ballet is like piano is to music, ballet is a necessary foundation for most forms of dance.

  • she's very good but i do agree she's to stiff for Jazz loosen up just a bit

  • this is so good!

  • loved it!

  • she's not the best dancer but he tecniqe is extremly good but her kicks could be higher and she needs to extend her leaps more.

  • i wouldn't say its the best dance i've ever seen

  • it is obvious that she is ballet-trained because her movements are too stiff for jazz...she's good though

  • Wow, you did a wonderful job on this!

    It really blew me away.

    You were right on que and I loved your moves.

    Incredible. :3

  • I love her facial expressions.

  • Very pretty! I love all of the ballet inspired moves, it really made the cabaret look great!

  • love the song speeded up! very nice. congrats

  • good dance..a little stiff..but thats just the ballet. but in my oppionion great dance =]

  • umm it didnt love it but it was good! you deff suprised me in some of your tricks.. i kind of didnt really see it coming.. great job tho! keep dancing :)

  • you can tell you are ballet trained by your choreography.. your technique is flawless but i think a jazz routine needs to be unpredictable, and that wasnt. it was amazing though!  jazz moves also dont always need to be perfect, try throwing in a flexed foot or two to make it interesting and more original :)

  • where did you get your costume?

  • Made with much love by mum

  • well it's beautiful!!

  • Well, im the dancer in this vid! My proud mum posted it- id prefer her to remove it but hey? who cares? just ppls opinions... all read, absorbed & thanked! its nice ppl comment- be it good or bad-im a big girl & have heard lots a advice/criticism/praise throughout my life all of which helped me to be who i am today! 3 qualified judges scored 97.6-again 3 opinions- i love to dance & perform-thats what matters! were not all perfect all the time! P.S tan so so REAL- PERTH sunshine mate! cheers x

  • She's a good dancer no doubt... but the chore (for me) was all wrong.. its just seemed to be trick after trick after trick.. there is no flow...and no real storyline though her movement....the routine reminds me more of an acro performance rather than a jazz number...with a bit of cheesy miming thrown in :(

    lovely control and tecnique in her tricks though :)

  • I think its awesome that you are trying other styles and i know that its hard to lose that really stiff ballet look :P 

    GOOD for YOU! =)

  • Whatever! She's showing her technique in a competition. Not acting in the show! Maybe she is a little stiff, but she will loosen up as she grows. You go, Girl! You are off to a great start! <3

  • I loveee it!!

  • I'm sure some people like this and she undoubtedly has talent but for me it was cheesy in the extreme and the ruination of what is a perfectly good routine in the show, infact in the show it is a better routine. This reminded me of a miming drag act and they are meant to be funny which makes it hard to take this seriously.

  • okay barcyorky lets see you do that

  • Hey, you have your opinion I have mine, the difference is I guess I can handle people not agreeing with me. By the way, I'm right up there, after you Ginger!

  • there are soo manyy haters on youtube sometimes.....allll her moves had greatt finishing and everything flowed wonderfully...with great jazz choreography thrown in with a lil gymnastics for tricks...nice !

  • i thought that was really good and you deserved to win!!!

    xxx

  • technique is all you have ..

  • i liked it.

  • messed up on the fouettes.. and really stiff

  • no feeling

  • she was fantastic !! i dont care what anyone says that girls got talent and shes flawless !!

  • eww you suck,your tan is bad i agree,and you look old and your too stiff this is just horriblee!

  • old, I'm 50 and I'm not old. as for your comment on the tan- it's natural - and normal if you live in W.A.
