  • Almost 5 years later and this choreography is still touching. Amazing work, and great use and concept of the props. I really loved everything about this piece. I just had to comment on it (again) in case I already commented a long time ago. Once again, great job!!

  • Boss

  • I remember watching this routine with my team at state, and being absolutely amazed. I had never heard the song before, and was kind of entranced by how pretty it was. Clackamas has always had such beautiful, unique routines, along with beautiful dancers and choreography. Good job ladies, you definitely deserved first :) This routine still gives me chills 4 years later!

  • i like the dancing, but i find the set a little distracting...

  • This was designed by Kurt Jull, He has been involved with drum corps and guard his entire life. Madison Scouts design 94-2000, Every-Body Winterguard founder, Seattle Cascades, Yokohama Inspires, etc. 

  • Beautiful! But one question, how did you get the boards to move/swivel around??

  • I do not like this at all. I don't think this is quality dance, the props are distracting and it wasn't entertaining.

  • Ok, I know I just posted but I want to say. I'm a trumpet player, a music teacher, and a drum and bugle corps guy. I've never really been into this stuff. And I've watched this over and over. It makes me cry. Who designed and choreographed this? This is just amazing.

  • this is the best visual rendition I've seen of this tune on the web or anywhere for that matter. absolutely brilliant

  • eeh? the board changes color :O

  • I thought this was guard..... Guess not

  • This has to be my FAVORITE state routine. ever. Great Job!

  • beautiful ladies! ;)

  • This makes me nostalgia like a mother fucker.

  • i honestly thought this was a winterguard show at first, but then i re read the title, wow this team has some amazing dancers :) the ending was my favorite

  • Then end was genius

  • Ive watched this numerous time and always gets to me! This is one of my favorite dance shows ever! Great job girls!

  • Although, you used the props well in your dance, it didn't distract much from the actually dancing.

  • While what you have here is very nice, and while I don't have a problem with the sets if everyone else is using them, I like it better when it's simple. It's harder, for one, and people get so wrapped up in the flashiness that they forget to just dance. I guess I like the simple stuff.

  • Obviously, this is beautiful, but I can't help but feel that you won not only because of your talent. You have an enormous, interactive set, a large cast, and grandiose stage dimensions. Not to mention, you're dancing to one of the most well-loved and overused songs in the dance world. My school's dance team got into nationals with a six-person, student-choreographed dance to a metal song. So, great job, but if you're going to enter a similar dance in state again, consider a show choir comp.

  • @chidragon9 Well thank you, i guess. You should know though that the other teams we were competing against in our division had the same enourmous floor mats and big props, whatever went along with their theme. And this was State 2007, i don't know that Hide and Seek was overused at the time. And why would we enter a show choir competition if we're not singing....? Lol.

  • you guys portrayed the story so well!!!! I watch the video first and then read the discription and it fit what I was thinking just perfectly!!!!! Although I though this was a colorguard when I first started watching but I actually have never seen such a good dance team!!! CONGRATS!!!

  • I thought this was colorguard.. I'm disappointed now.

  • @exotically LOL For real

  • i seriously cried the whole video

  • That was really beautiful and in time! But am I the only one that noticed there was no equipment? What's a color guard with no equipment? A dance team?

  • @iheartguard09 haha thank you! and well, we are a dance team... lol

  • @timetodance25 Oops! I feel really stupid for not reading the description! I'm sorry, I thought this was a color guard because it was set up like one and in the related videos. But I guess that explains why I was confused haha :)

  • @iheartguard09 Haha! because of the floor and the props i thought it was a guard show to

  • wow! i actualy have goosebumps right now! that was sooo amazing bestest, cleanest, mos emotional team dance ive ever seen great job ladies and director! (:

  • AWESOME! AMAZING!! Love the ending!

  • this is absolutely amazing. one of the best lyrical dances iv ever seen

  • Love the ending. Really great performance, I loved the whole feel of the song and choreography!

  • Wowwwww that was soooo gooodd

  • i love the dance but i wish u would just let us watch it, rather than telling us whats about to happen.

  • @shelberoosky Try turning off the annotations. :)

  • this is the most amazing performance i think i've ever seen. i dont think i took a breath at all during this

  • id love to learn this dance

  • Usually when there are so many dancers they are off sync and mess up a lot. But these girls performed proving they knew exactly what they were doing. And even though there are so many you noticed they all danced their hardest. They didn't slack just because no one would notice. The unity is amazing... and in groups like these there is no fame to one dancer. It's the message and the unity that makes it so different and wonderful. It's the art.

    Amazing job, one of my favorites.

  • congradulations to your design team! very reminisent of the best ideas the '80 with enough new ideas to make it truly modern!

    Oh,

    And the girls danced their butts off too!!! LOL

    really good show!

    and i thought it was going to be a gaurd too!

  • love it. man there are SO many dance and color guard routines to this song..

  • wowowowow i have seen so many dances done to this song and this is definately the coolest one yet!!!!!!! I love love love it!!!!

  • that was amazing!

  • Never seen a dance team routine like this! It is amazing, I thought it was going to be a winter guard show

  • wow this is just amazing!

  • Okay, that was amazing! At first I thought it was an indoor guard show but wow!

  • I cry every time i watch this video...i love it!

  • awesomee!!! i lovee it ((:

  • that was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. it gave me an idea for winterguard..lol wow how in the world does the color change

  • Absolutely incredible. The choreographer must be a very special person and I would love to work with them. J Leet

  • that was soooooooooo amazing!

  • pretty awesome.

  • how did the props rotate with out falling?

  • there's probably a platform attached with a rod in the middle (if that makes any sense). I know that's how our props for our one indoor colorguard is.

  • Absolutely amazing,i <3,it their ripples were together and i really like the song. Thats exactly how much girls we have on our dance team really hope we are able to do something like that...soon

  • could somebody explain the picture ripping to me?

  • divorce? isn't the first picture like a newly wed couple? and at the end they're seperate. and the silhouette pictures could be representing troubles in the relationship. just a thought

  • This is absolutely beautiful and creative! I am quite impressed, what were those doors or what were you using as your props?

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this so much...

  • Gorgeous!

  • i would have been on that team....but i had to move :(

  • RIP KAYLA

  • That was one of the best dances i've ever seen!

  • that was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

  • wow that is the first guard ive seen that hasent used eny flags of riffles or sabors ect. and still do an amazing job luved it=D

  • dance team

  • This is a dance team.

  • i thought it was a guard at first too because we use the pannels a lot

  • That is THE coolest thing I have ever seen.

  • OMG!!! i've never seen anything like this! there is so much underlying sybolism to this dance. it is soooooo beautiful. i wish i could dance like that. nice song choice btw...

  • Yeah, Imogen Heap is one of the most talented artists I've heard.

  • that was amazing, hope this years can be just as good=]

  • Chilling and beautiful!!

  • FAVORITE ROUTINE. NEVER GETS OLD.

  • amazingggg!

  • OMG I got chills watching this :) especially at the end!

    I miss my team :(

  • i know feck all about dance, but that was AMAZING :D

  • amazing choreo. and a wonderful concept 5 stars for sure

  • i know wow i cant believe that was a high school amazing

  • The choreography is beautiful. Congrats!

  • Amazing. Period.

  • HIGH SCHOOL???

  • its not a c jump l0l its called a titanic

  • omg i have never seen something so amazing from a high school none the less i wish i was on that team outstanding i loved it so much

  • Great job, I love watching this... I'm excited that I switched from Washington dance to Oregon So I get to see you guys:))) Yeahh those boards mann, I had fun painting them and carrying them :P

  • ok so through the entire thing i was like omg amazing! and then i got to the end and the anouncer said blah blah blah HIGH SCHOOL.... OMFG THAT WAS A HIGH SCHOOL!?!?! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! :O

  • breath taking.

  • impressve dance routine, i love it, i lova also the song, great choice!!!

    who was the coreographer?

    what is the relation with the picture at the end of the routine with the routine itself?

    so mny questions......

    last one, is there a better video take of this routine?

  • The picture at the end, along with the "oily marks" (missing pictures) on the boards and the posing as furniture for the crop circles part (marks left after furniture is moved), all have to do with the song itself. It's a song about dealing with being in a relationship and then abandoned. The singer remarks that it's hard for her to believe that someone can make so many years of memories and love disappear... or.. go hide and seek.

  • Thank you for the great explanation.

  • this is the second show that I have seen you guys do...yall are awesome!!!

  • honestly that was fkn good

    and i never say anything is good

  • Oh:)) I loved this dance! I think that my team bought those boards from you for our Production :D Geeze tose were heavyy!

  • This dance is amazing! You guys so deserved 1st place!

  • that was cool

  • i thought this was colorguard for a min i was like waiting for the flags lol

  • i thought the same thing!! but it was still really cool!

  • Wow! I'm not surprised you guys got first place! That was seriously amazing!

  • You guys should get a reunion and do this show again haha jk!

    it's so good that even the president would go nuts!

  • omg that was amazing....omg i love you guys.

    what state is this in?

  • oregon. read the info. loser :P

  • how did they change the colors?

  • that had to have been a pain in the ass to coreograph. but it's dazzling. love it!

  • Phenomenal. It's cool that you picked one thing that the song meant to you and used it as the general concept. some people get so carried away by the million and one things that this song could mean that the choreography ends up looking super messy. nice job. :)

  • wow...that was truly beautiful! :]

  • THIS IS AMAZING!

  • Woah the most AMAZING video ever! so beautiful!!!!!!!

  • wow, that was amazing ! but i just have a question...why did you guys rip the guy off of the picture? did they get divorced or something? lol but seriously.. tht was amazing !!!!

  • wow. clever staging. and you did great for such a large group of dancers.

  • woww your choreografy is really, really good, And I want to invite you to visit ALMITAFRESH VIDEOS. bye see you soon.

  • THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!!!!

  • wow, such creative choreography and a unique approach to the song. Gorgeous

  • That was beautiful, though I was kinda half wishing for some rifles/flags/sabers to randomly bust out lol, it reminds me of winter guard. Still great though. :)

  • Yeah a lot of good guards have done this song in the last few years.... i think even Apex has , maybe last year? or the year before that.

  • omg i remember that. it was sooo good =]

  • I watch this video nearly every day.

  • I too have seen it many times over and over again. Fab performance.

  • This honestly makes me cry.

    In the good way of course.

    Amazing...

  • This is the only dance routine for this song that I have seen so far that actually does this song justice. The meaning is pervasive in the choreography, and exocuted so beautifully. There were definately some truly great minds behind this one, and I am just utterly blown away.

  • OMG. That's the biggest thing I can say about that. That and I literally shed a few tears at the end! That was amazing:) ABSOLUTELY amazing. A thunderous round of applause to the choreographers and designers of that routine.

  • I love the random boxes that popped up occasionally and the guy at 2:17... in the silent part he screams really weird like. amazing job, these people did..truly creative.

  • in all my years dancing i think this is the best use of props i've ever seen, besides the fact that the dancers did awesome

    i can only imagine how much thought and work went into this

    i thought it was amazing

  • simply beautiful :)

  • amazing !

    there was great synchronization :P

  • this was the coolest show i have ever seen. I loved the changing of the colors. Brilliant idea. How do you do it. Way to go!!

  • OMFG!!!!!!! this was ahhmazing. who ever had the idea should get an award. i fell in love with this dance and haters need a life!!! this is by far the best dance i have ever seen...EVER!!!!

  • awesome, can anybody tell me what was on the first row of rotating panels? I think it kinda looked like random pieces of artwork it was cool though

  • It was pictures of plesure moments hanging. Later the second row had oily marks where pleasure moments hung before.

  • that was amazing.

    my academy did a dance to this song, and let me tell you ours sucks compaired to this.

    i am blown away.

    great job.

I like the part at 3 18 and then when the song is all bouncy after that... okay and every part around 3 43 too... dang you know what, this is ALL just AMAZING! ... wow...
