damn, ariana debose is so talented

[@lianneburwell4763]

Had to believe that when she was on So You Think You Can Dance, she was the first girl eliminated from the top 20

[@litlblkhouse]

With the supposed newfound rejection of Jennifer Lopez, I wouldn't be surprised if Ariana DeBose becomes her heir apparent. Seriously, the talent is all there.

[@FigurineCharge]

Hi! What kind of music (genre) it is at the beginning with the sax please?

[@fabrisseterbrugghe8567]

It's Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train" which makes it Jazz.

[@eliunger16]

I know around 0:30 they are dancing to Benny Goodman’s sing, sing, sing

[@logansepigonesconsortium8434]

Shat kind of music is in the begining

[@cyndigoodlet3276]

A little disjointed and costumes were distracting; didn't go with the choreography.

[@gabshadow2687]

Yeah because of the strike I believe they weren’t going to do the Tony’s. I remember them saying their were no scripts bc of the strike and everything was short notice.

[@sherrykennedy7292]

She is talented. She got to be kidding. She only has a little bit of black in her the rest is white and Puerto Rican. That hair says otherwise.

[@RosileneMartins23]

Who cares about race?

[@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808]

She is Filipina. Was on SYTYCD years ago and danced contemporary. Look for "Falling Slowly"

[@artsyfartsy6286]

Incredible dancers. AWFUL choreography!
