Billy, this performance reaches into my very soul and tugs at those places buried deep within. You are truly gifted. I miss watching you dance weekly. Of all the dancers on SYTYCD, you were the one who allowed me to move through them. I am in a wheelchair and, though I can walk a bit, I cannot dance. Thank you, my dear boy, for giving my worn out body wings to fly. Blessings to you.  Sally

Bless this truth. Bless it.

Wow, I'm a bogan (redneck) from Oz who stumbled upon this video. Have never before been close to understanding dance as art. Never got it. That has changed me.

[NonMagicFolk]

I'm a sobbing mess every time he dances. no dancer has ever made me cry so much.

[kendellite]

I know I would get amazing choreography out from working with him! hands down.

[bunnehead]

Amazing. I felt every movement deep in my heart - it is an honor to watch you dance, Billy :)

[MrGAMEFREAK561]

Billy bell went to my school and choreographs woohoo!!! he is amazing

[soleluna404]

@soleluna404 I meant 30th of september............

[soleluna404]

Billy Bell you are a genius....my dream right now is being able to watch you on 30th of december in New York but unfortunately for an albanian girl living in Italy that's quite impossible..... Please come to Italy with your Lunge Dance Company....pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e

[PMEngles]

@tweeterpie1 I think Billy is amazing, but his weakness was partnering. Actually, I should specify partnering with girls. He was amazing with Ade. I think he is genius, but SYTYCD was not the platform for him.

[somad4dance]

one word to describe this dance and dancer -insane- who ever doesn't like this video must have been watching something completely different as this is completely insane in the best way possible...wow <3

[kmarisms41]

[raelika]

This made me tear up, and I hardly EVER tear up

[joshck]

What a talent! It 's just beautiful to watch. He's brilliant.

[tweeterpie1]

Billy Bell is an extraordinary dancer and I loved him on SYTYCD but felt some of the chorographers let him down by not utilizing his abilites enough. Some did, but a couple of other ones really blew a great opportunity in working with him.

[JackieNicoleSings]

there are times when i can't tell his arms from his legs.

[JackieNicoleSings]

there are times where i can't tell his hands from his feet.

[icychickify]

[msb41345]

[TheFirmMaybes]

WOW!!!!!!! :O you are amazingly talented i enjoyed watching this video!

[ashmariex3dance]

ahhhhhhhhhh! BRILLIANT!

@ThePilowcase I think this is solely and genuinely art of Billy Bell's.

He performed this piece before he worked with Mia Michaels.

It proves that he is very much inspirational for choreographers, too.

God sent him to us.

[evangelineadam]

i dont understand what is it about. sumwan pls tell me.

[ThePilowcase]

I see some little signs of Mia's choreography. Wonderful how people influence one another when they get together.

[SirGeoffreyJones]

I've watched this about 5 times now, It is so powerful.
