A Letter to the Playground Bully by Andrea Gibson choreographed by Kourtni Lind

This solo has been by far, one of the most close and dearest to my heart. It hits close to home and even more so at the moment I performed it. I have grown since I performed this solo, but till this day I want to perform it again, again and again. I loved the choreography and the poetry by Andrea Gibson is amazing!!!

[@googalove]

Love how she just came out in a t-shirt and killed it. No costume or make up needed!! Awesome awesome👌🏽👌🏽

[@laurylatreille7421]

[@NatalySantiago19]

Thank you! I lived these words when I did this solo. It's been years but I feel it in my heart each time I watch it. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Ava or just twerking and useless moves that talk about nothing more than disgusting things

Wow. Absolutely breathtaking. I wish I was this good.

[@fayewild2734]

I keep coming back to this, and no matter how many other videos I watch this will most likely forever be one of the best. The emotion and body control is absolutely AMAZING, it complements the poem so, so well. I love this with all I have. It's absolutely stunning.

[@NatalySantiago19]

Jackson does Dumb Things thank you so much! This means so much. I am a technical dancer but this solo was meant to be a bit of everything. I only do solo's that have meaning to me and my life. At the time this was what I was living. So it means a lot to hear feedback like yours. I thank you!

Wow this dance has so much meaning and the way the movement corresponds with the words is truly amazing. You have an incredible sense of dynamic movement and your emotion shown on your face just adds that little bit more to it to make it even more awesome. Really good use of space and the balance between your smaller movements and larger movements is perfect to make it very eye-catching. Stunning xx
