Amanda Ocampo - I've Got Rhythm

[@minisaz101]

Ok, so that is the best tap solo ever by a SEVEN year old!! She is just amazing, so relaxed and she looks like she's having so much fun, it's great!!! lOVE HER!! XX

[@lilsis567]

Wow!!! She is the best 7 year old tap dancer I have ever seen! I have been dancing for eight years and I am not even as good as she is. I like your costume too. You got talent!

[@BreeBehave]

Oh my word. This girl is amazing. And I thought I was good at tap dancing and I'm 17. Natural talent right here. fantastic.

[@dancinH25]

This is the best tap solo I've ever seen someone as young as 7 do. And I've been to many competitions!

[@amandaleighlupacchino]

I can't believe what I just saw! I have been taking dance for 13 years and I am nowhere near that!! she is soo AHMAZING!! A 7 year old is my idol..wow lol

[@VanessaOcampo]

Many of the girls are very well rounded. Amanda was just very driven at a very early age. ;) Thanks.

[@chelseychavez]

coming from someone who has danced w/amanda and known her for her lifetime...amanda loves dancing with all her heart. there are times when our parents push us harder than we want but I konw for a fact amanda's mom & dad would NEVER force their daughter to do anything she didn't want to do. AMANDA wants it all, she works really hard to be the best. her parents support her all the way. i don't think its appropriate for those who don't know a person personally to comment about what they don't know

[@shanongrace]

this little star has done the best job for someone her age. she's so talented!

[@dgkwill]

This child is unbelievable! Wonderful.

[@danseandsing]

Woah............AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I'm a dancer myself.....I wish I could have danced like that at a young age....She's got a great future ahead of her.

[@bplescia]

I think I was dancing like this when I was about 16, after 13 years of studying tap. Impressive, chica. Dance your little heart out.

[@lynntofu]

WOW! I wish I could tap like this. She is fantastic!!

[@hairyeahyeah]

wonderful. This is her forte for sure. Such a strong core for her age and a highly gifted student

[@simplejess22]

vanessa yur amazing keep doing what yur doing and you'll go far in life.

[@DanceYourHeartOut8]

i love how she just bounces around the stage! its so cute! the tap steps she does make her look like she is just bouncing and i ttly love it!

[@camilaborrero]

amanda you actualy are a super star!

[@danceismylife79]

that was entertaining! a phenomenal tapper with great expression... :D

[@wierdbutloveable]

hey vanessa, its melissa again. aww this is one of my favorite dances from amanda! i miss dancing with her, she is always a lot of fun and makes the studio very lively!

[@mirandagilbert]

wat cant this girl do! i LOVE her! shes AMAZING!

[@pollydances]

She is very talented!! And she lights up the stage. As a professional choreographer I certainly hope she is also doing ballet/lyric classes. The will give her increasing body control in the more fluid movements. Her tap though... amazing!!!

[@dancefreak1324]

holy crap!!!!!!!!!!! ur an amzing tapper!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive watched all of ur numbers in you tube and im simply jealous of ur talented self!!!!! :) love you girly!!!!!!!

[@starbdg]

I just can say WOW I can't believe it WOW its a wonderful dancer girl WOW!!

[@kiwirinso]

Amanda is sooo amazing

[@FatLane]

I think her costume is just fine. One thing I've always appreciated about TOC is that they tend to use more conservative costumes. It helps the judges concentrate more on the technique and less on the packaging. TOC is tops in San Diego for technique.

[@setapartgabi]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! She is freaky amazing!!!!

[@Powerballet98]

She's good. I look forward to examining what else she has to offer in dance. Very confident.

[@dancermumble5]

oh my gosh she is AMAZING if she is around 7 then i wonder what she will be in like 10 years wow i am very impressed I love tap and that was amazing just wowowowowowwo

[@dtdancer123]

[@taryndancer29]

holy omg! she is incredible! keep on dancin gurl cause one day your gonna be famous!

[@jolandamusic]

Wow what style, what perfection already in this early age!

[@peppystephie54]

That's good! The mini's at my studio had a jazz costume like this except there was no zipper and it wasnt a turtleneck. They had to step into it and it was hard to get on. Thanks! = )

[@VanessaOcampo]

Thank you so much for the advice ;) Amanda took at Broadway Dance for a week last yr and they allowed her in the adult ballet w/Madame Dervash (sp?) Anyway, she loves "Mad Science" at school and she loves swimming w/her friends too ;)

[@evilkate21]

[@redcarpetprincess16]

DUDE!!! you are so tiny and you move amazing it took me years to learn how to dance like that and now i can...maybe we could do a duet some day...and 4 those of you who leave rude comments....tap dancing is really hard...you try doing that....

[@brookeeeey95]

[@wannaknowit291]

[@JazTrumpett]

WOW! Most of the Diamonds (Seniors) at my studio can't do any of that! She is amazing!!!

[@piaa1]

thats just incredible.

[@hotthang56]

this girl does it all!

[@sandyy.6822]

Fantastic!!!!

[@porterhouse1974]

That girl is just too much....My neice competes against her a various competitions throughout the year. We love to see her dance.

[@VanessaOcampo]

All of her costumes along w/all the other kids at Touch of Class, Element, Project Dance, Oceanside Dance Academy and various school show choirs etc are all made by Rowena Bell at Showtime Creations. ;)

[@danceu4ia]

THIS GIRL IS AMAZING!

[@wannaknowit291]

maybe she is a robot...what a lovely one...plus i have never seen any dancer on stage with such huuuuuge smile!!!!!damn adorable)))))

[@lmtrione]

good god she is good. see when i competed at age 7 my studio still went for the cutsie factor i.e. tons of girls and patten leather shoes. didnt learn to do half of that stuff until i was prolly about 11.

[@livelovedance1080]

this is amazing and sooo cute!!!!!

[@Dancing4life4494]

you are soooo amazing.

[@lilcherubs]

she is amazing! what dance school does she dance with?

[@nchllltmr]

shes so good. are you going to post any of her videos from this past dance season?

[@VanessaOcampo]

We will see you at HOF - do you know what time you might be dancing? Thanks!

[@torisill]

she looks like she is having a lot of fun in this one :P since the music is so fast and she is able to keep up ... it looks like she is on fast forward ... great job amanda

[@VanessaOcampo]

Probably the same as she was only 6 and had just turned 7 a few months prior to this finals. I think she just really loved the music and it showed ;)

[@pippylunalove]

@sydw56 no what i meant was why is it so fast that she looks like this video is being fast forward. Im impressed that she can dance that quickly but is the music supposed to test their speed of dancing or is there another reason?

[@konczterez]

7 years ... can'be possible... how does she live? How much childhood she had?

[@Daxer03]

shes too adorable1

[@VanessaOcampo]

Thanks to all for comments, we now know that not every comment is always positive but hopefully people realize the age of the dancer. We love Amanda and we love her costumes....wouldn't change her or them for the world. FYI - she was barely even 7 in this ;) Take care and God Bless.

[@mjscarousal]

wow gurl is mad talented and she's just 7!!!! when she get older she's going to be a bad ass dancer she already is now.

[@HaileyStar]

AMAZING!!! Good Job!

[@queenbeeoe1314]

that girl is incredibly blessed. shes so adorable! she looks like she came out the woom tapping lol

[@alcalec]

she's amazing.......... she does everything !!! I can't believe it. How old is she???

[@VanessaOcampo]

Were you all at the HOF in Ontario? What studio are you from? There was so many good dancers there, I was so proud of amanda for her placement. She is proving she can "hang" with the big girls :) Take Care.

[@ladycalpernia]

absolutely incredible. How old was she when she started to learn? must have been almost embryonic!!!!

[@funfest24]

her posture is amazing...some kids i have seen tapping are hunched over because they are trying too hard...not you amanda...bravo, you have some amazing teachers

[@DanielGonzalezMexDF]

[@VanessaOcampo]

Per week she practices maybe 1 hour. She dances at the studio 11-12 hours per week - Monday - Friday only.

[@DancingHippo13]

She's SO cute! Where does she dance...????

[@eleanorruth13]

sorry about this, I keep asking questions! My friend would like to know where she trains.

[@ChemicalLiar]

Actually, I've found if you don't get the sound out in a tap group, it's more noticeable.

[@AJMurnane09]

who sings this version of the song can someone tell me what it is called and who sings it i need it urgently!

[@xsturrx]

omg shes soo good

[@nchllltmr]

did amanda change studios to the element performing arts center?

[@AllieHutchins]

This was b4 the jan 1 rule came around on solos. then last year she got to dance as 7 again. so i've got rhythm was in 2005. Roses was 2006. :)
