Brooke Hyland - Never Neverland - FULL SOLO

[@brookburk5810]

I recently watched Brooke reacting to her solos and she mentioned how this one of her favs because she loved Tinkerbell when she was younger. You definitely can see her passion in this dance.

[@_wtr_1127]

Yes same! I immediately thought about that when reading the title lol

[@brooklynwukelich7757]

Yes same

[@nawaalganief3100]

Yes and swingin on a star

[@kristianblake]

Comparing the genuine smile as she dances in this solo at 11 compared to a fake smile in a season 2 or 3 solo when she's 14-15, you can tell she used to love to dance. In season 1 when she was 13, you could tell she was beginning to lose her passion for dance but at the same time still enjoyed. I believe if she wasn't on dance moms, she would've continue to take classes at the studio because she would've been advance up to the senior level and would be learning harder choreography and maybe even be doing things other than acro. Sadly, I think Dance Moms and Abby, and dancing with kids years younger than her, ruined her love for dance.

[@repent.]

She said she'd already lost passion by the time the show started. She said that she only stayed at the studio bc of the show.

[@ZoeMiilk]

I also think she was in pain most of the time

[@fungyinyuk1802]

I think it is was because she had back pain and she is growing up so she wants to play with her friends more but she was at dance most of the time

[@robuxqueen611]

abby was it really yelling at brooke it was just for the show

[@Nora-cz1iv]

she was so talented why did abby have to crush her spirit :(

[@strawberrylemonade00]

Hii nora

[@ohrenata]

She was prob mad Brooke wasnt a little little kid that adimired her blindly and followed her every word. You know kids grow up and they start to have opinions and wants and hers may not have aligned with what Abby wanted all the time. Abby wanted a winner obcessed with danco but Brooke wanted others things too and maybe with how sharp Abby is Brooke started to get annoyed by her obcession with and showed it. She did this to Maddie, she made Maddie crys asking why she did that with when the moms stayed at the parking lot and she, a fckn adult, gaslighted Maddie till the girl was miserable crying and feeling guilty of something she might not even have understand then. Different from Brooke Maddie really was into only dance, and with Abby all the time telling her she is her fav, she is her winner etc etc Maddie didnt want to let Abby down so she complied to everything.

[@Raegan_Marie]

@@ohrenataThat actually makes a lot of sense!

[@Re_c6]

@@ohrenata especially because of Maddie’s upbringing too. You can tell Melissa was very complacent and obedient and went with whatever Abby said, meanwhile Kelly was very opinionated allowing Brooke to come up with her own conclusions and opinions of things and people. Maddie however was a product of her upbringing and too did whatever Abby wanted and asked of her because that was all she knew.

The fluidity in her tricks is beautiful to watch. In later seasons on the show, you can see her connections become more fluid too. It’s sad that her expressions lessened later on. She is definitely one of my favourite dancers

[@Kg8802-f9l]

WOW I actually think Brooke was better than Maddie! She was the total package: acro, tumbling, legs, feet, leaps, turns. Stunning! This solo makes me both sad and happy to watch.

YOU'RE THE BEST OMG 😭😭😭 out of all the og aldc girls, I'm most curious about Brooke's before-show solos because I feel like she was at her best before dance moms, considering that she was an acrobat and was 13 when the show started, plus she seemed to start losing her passion by that time (she had great moments on dm of course, as she developed more control, but the way Abby talked about her felt like she was better as a kid)

[@destinyfreshour9198]

Abby said in one episode Brooke used to be her best dancer, goes to show how harsh words can break passion.

[@Reality_TV_Queen]

This is why she is my favorite Dance Moms dancer of all time! I mean, look at her!!! She is so talented and she had so much potential to literally be the best dancer of the show. Keep in mind that Brooke was the “Maddie” before Maddie was the “Maddie.” Unfortunately as she got older, instead of being there to help and support her, Abby just decided to give up on her and move on to Maddie because Brooke wasn’t the newest item in the store anymore to Abby. It’s awful the way she got treated but luckily she is done with Abby and never has to deal with her again if she doesn’t want to. ❤

She is amazing.. flawless.. and god given ability !!! And i know why abby and kelly don t want brooke quit her dance…

I gotta to admit that when it was dance moms before, I mean where I was, MADDIE, BROOKE, PAIGE and the other girls, Brooke was my favorite cause her solos were never lacking in acrobatic tricks, I was even very fascinated when she did acrobatic solos but unfortunately she left Before the real season ended but I mean that Brooke was a good acrobat although many did not like tricks she used to contort her body in different ways that you said, this girl was born without bones but Brooke was really a goddess of acrobatic dance on stage, on the show and in competition, I am a super fan of her

Lyrics!!!! She'd tell me about Captain Hook and all of his men Who followed Peter with a hook replaced as his hand In those tales bad guys seldom did win So the captain was eaten, and Wendy had twins Well, that's the story as I recall Though I may have made up the end Don't remember much, at three feet tall Except for when I'd say, "Mom! Let me go to Never Neverland, let me fly for one day! Throw that fairy dust in my hair! So I can pretend I'm flying away!" I'm flying away! Well, to my surprise, I grew up too fast And that easy life of Tinkerbell, it never did last So I'd silently dream myself far, far away Where I could be immortalized like Peter one day Well that's my childhood as I recall Though, in some ways it never did end Now I'm standing, well, a little bit taller Except for when I'd say, "Mom! Let me go to Never Neverland, let me fly for one day! And throw that fairy dust in my hair! So I can pretend I'm flying away!" I'm flying away! And it's second to the left, and straight on till morning Or was it, second to the right, and straight on till morning? Never Neverland.. In my Never Neverland.....

These “before the show” solos of Brooke are just incredible. I never could get into Brooke’s dancing on dance moms, she looked so miserable and burned out and it wasn’t fun to watch her. With this footage you could tell she once used to love it. But Abby Lees studio never gave her a break from this style of dancing and it harmed her and exhausted her. Acro should never be the only style a child performs. Very VERY few grown adults can actually make a professional career out of acro. With this type of thing you need to stop eventually and do other styles, but Instead of pushing her as a dancer, they gave up on her altogether when she couldn’t do it anymore. Pathetic. So much potential they didn’t tap into.

I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it's safe. Esp cause she's still growing. I think it's because she makes it look easy, so that isn't what comes to people's minds. I can't remember if Brooke broke her growth plate from when she was run over by a golf cart or from all that acrobatics though.
