Way to go! The Indigenous people from Alberta are the best. I had the chance to work with many of them in the Samson and Ermineskin area. The people and their culture are incredible and you, young man, did yourself proud with your hoop dance.

[@HFXmermaid]

I could get on board with a hoop dancing super hero

[@abbykoop5363]

Fantastic! I wish the camera people would keep the focus on the presenter instead of showing the judges and audience. This one wasn't too bad, but they seem to cut away at the best parts. We would like to see the whole performance please.

[@sunrae7680]

I'm screaming at my screen, everytime the camera went away from him. Disrespectful !! This dance was mesmerizing.

[@j.h.moncrieffauthor]

I agree! That was so frustrating!

[@missmosvegankitchen8238]

Who hired these camera folks?! Sheesh. I would have loved to see that performance. I love hoop dancers

[@sterling8298]

Regardless with the judges thought of it I like it because He was keeping true to his heritage. Because why be anything else but your self.

[@Emera1d2724]

Hoop dancing is my favorite!!

[@Psychomech5]

Hell YES, a hoop dancing superhero!

[@keitheepoo7253]

Talent!!!!🌹🌹🥀🥀🥀

[@xxRexyResurrectionxx]

I love that he performed this to Breather by Tanya Tagaq!

[@mrsmca2125]

I hate the way the video cuts away from the performers. Viewers miss some of the dancers best moves. Very annoying.

[@XxMellyxX722]

Good job

[@cathylavender6992]

My people are showing up And showing out. A'Ho

[@johnellis4687]

So amazing!!!! But what's the story?

[@GMZohar14]

Interesting way to tell the story of the Rebels destroying the Death Star

[@Dieselsdog3]

You Inspired me!

[@stephanieyee9784]

I love hoop dancers. I loved this young man's performance and wish the clip was longer and gave the judges verdicts. The camera should have stayed on Him not the audience or judges. I watch a lot of Patrick Willie's videos and really appreciate the work and love that goes into every aspect of the dance. Hoop dancers usually make their own hoops so it's a process. PS: Patrick is a Navajo.

[@karentucker2161]

He is from my grandpas area! Hey!!!

[@mrsmca2125]

Great hoop dance. TERRIBLE camera work that kept cutting away from his performance so viewers missed some of the most difficult moves. The editing and camera work on this series is uniformly awful, constantly cutting sway to the judges snd audience instead of showing a complete performance.

[@daffidaizy]

agreeeeeeeee!!! I absolutely hate that. I don't care about people's reactions LOL I'm missing part of the performance!!

[@SeaBee1223]

I noticed that too. Bad angle goo

[@KardiBeTVroyalty]

Is it just me 🤔or #kardibetv didn't get the story like Howie. 1:26 story in my performance 1:34 before the performance? 3:12 🤔 what was the story again? Someone please explain the story to me😉

[@ndnthunder8]

terrible camera work. Didn't do his performance any justice at all

[@maddenfootballtalk6544]

Awesome job Arik 🤙🤙🤙👍👍

[@lynns7262]

Canadians are very nice.

[@lewisjohnston7077]

They are known to be freindly and polite.

[@icyblueeyes11]

We're not always. Shhhhhhh don't tell anyone lol

[@lupinashton8913]

If I'm not mistaken the music is throat singing. Can't remember whom does it I do know some tribes in a place do it. 🤔 I can't remember their name. A mother and daughter started doing it and recording it. She wanted to learn to be closer to her mum and carry on the tradition.

[@annettebaker4357]

Mongolia

[@icyblueeyes11]

Inuit people do it as well

[@Bennettboi89]

Whats the song he used

[@terilderoche551]

Yoooo

[@AlexaXander-q2m]

I can't believe..... you dont know any of those many stories portrayed! Goodness! 😂... wow! That courageous and gracefulness you don't see even when they fly and soar high don't you ever see the balance and how they approach to all circles of life... ? 😢 sad.... he performed ratios, arithmetic, geometry and physics dude.. ohh common!

[@billbyrne1136]

Get a new director

[@JacksonJDoyel]

Dude no one wants to see the audience when the whole act is visual.

[@eclecticraeen]

He did amazing but a dancer is never going to win any of these talent shows. They need to have only dancing competitions and obly singing competitions

[@John-fr6wo]

For God so loved the world that He gave His one & only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. (John 3:16-17)✝️

[@wilco8729]

I gif a thumbs down for the show. Not the performer. He is great and i love him and his dancing. But the show itself..... come one guys... why putting that camera away from the performer. I game to see the performer and not the judges. I have seen them for years now. I want the performer. Very annoying. No wonder you dont get to many likes

[@kendrixkhio828]

terrible camera movements!

[@ThatRandomChannelTRC]

Boooooorrriiiiinnnnnggggggg
