Mini Female Best Dancer Dance Off - The Dance Awards Las Vegas 2022

[@DancingBarefoot]

finley was definitely my favorite! her musicality was great and she adapted so well to the music it looked like choreography!! i liked how she also did a lot of dancing instead of tricks.

[@ruthannetalley4891]

I agree!

[@youonlyLYVonce]

Agree

[@Dancemoms_edits196]

Finally for sure she wasn’t just doing tricks she was doing actually moves and she was so supportive to!

[@mikeables]

People commented the song was bad. I think some of the girls dance moves could have been to any song. But Finley's dance seemed to be perfectly timed with the song. Even her face expressions were timed to perfection.

[@iquitttttt46255]

Yea and instead of only tumbling,tricks,etc, she actually danced and did some moves

[@MsJubjubbird]

I think for the kids on the younger end of the spectrum a lot of the teachers give them a routine and then just say to do it in time with the music. It's in some of the junior kids too. Or just they tell them to throw all their hard skills that they do well in their solos. This is old school bop and the four count is really obvious so it's easy to dance to; but it doesn't lend itself to slow movements like tilts, legholds and handstands; no matter how good you make them look.

[@chloefrank7236]

i didn’t think they’d use it again at orlando but i guess they did!

[@pennalderman]

it’s kind of weird ngl. but they all slayed

[@abbythings]

i loved this song whats wrong with it lol

[@Yagurllani2010]

❤️ Finley bought all the sass and energy and I also this she has amazing musicality. LOVE IT ❤️

[@ellaajm]

my favourites were finley and Roxie! their musicality was great and I loved how both of them did a lot of dancing and not just tricks.

[@rancidllillies]

At SIX, Sylvie Win’s musicality and talent is exceptional. Future mini best dancer for sure 💕💘

[@dreamydancers]

She was so cute too!!

[@averyfarris311]

6?!????

[@rancidllillies]

Ellary Day and Finley absolutely slay!! Congratulations to both!💕

[@lilianharris5072]

I loved Finley and Lilly. But props to Sylvie making it in top 10 at 6 years old with her older sister!

[@Kchance1220]

Are Lilly and Harper sisters? I noticed they have the same last name but don’t look anything alike lol

[@idk-tm3zx]

@@Kchance1220 nooo, they aren't sisters

[@pennalderman]

yesss

[@thedancefactor3815]

yes!! sylvie also had seemed to have a long time and also have such a hard part of music bc it like ended LOL

[@meredithfeagley]

ROXIE AND FINLEY SLAYED THE HOUSE DOWN

[@april.29]

all of them did amazing! especially proud of sylvie for making top 10!! ❤️

[@GoldenTV2023]

Oliva, Finley, Aria, and Lily were gold! props to sylivie for being SIX and being rated as a best dancer

[@daisyschaal3290]

I liked Roxies outfit and dance and I liked Finley because her dance was smooth

[@missraredoesstuff]

Finley is a musical genius!!

[@melaniedavis6673]

i love how supportive they were of each other, especially finnley!

[@teganrossdance]

Yay! Ellary Day is in the top 3 let's goooo!!

[@danceatak5835]

Exceptional! So much time money talent and a whole lot of heart has gone into each and every one of these dancers training. You can see how much they all love to dance. Congratulations ladies! You were all spectacular and so fun to watch.

[@strangifys]

finley and harper were definitely my top two! they are all so amazing!

[@thalia7007]

finley and lily killed that

[@dakotaskong759]

Finley was the only one who’s dancing actually matched the music and wasn’t just a show off of tricks which is super talented for the age group

[@justangel2714]

Finley’s musicality ate.

[@nevaehjoriee]

finley ate this DOWN.

[@sarahacosta9518]

finley was amazing!

[@elizabethhagerty6836]

Yessss she wasssss

[@jessicalim3008]

Every one of these girls are amazing. So beautiful. Only personal opinion but I've noticed in all comps there is sooo much acro and tricks and so little dancing. I saw some firebird and 2 sets of turns but that was all the actual DANCE steps. Again all amazing and beautiful 😍

[@TheyLoveKallie]

Yeah def

[@Thunderpaws111]

Yes!! It’s extreme acro , gymnastics and tricks - all performing the same moves with very little actual dancing. But the music was a poor choice, very uninspiring.

[@justangel2714]

In minis is very common for them to trick around the stage. The older girls do more dancing than acro.

[@jessicalim3008]

Thanks for explaining. I would never be able to do any of the acro they do. I've been a dance instructor for 30years and our team just started competing. And the one thing we don't do is acro. I always feel like personally it's so hard to compete with dancers that can do acro. They are so amazing and then there is us amazing dancers but can't hold a candle to a front Ariel into a front limber. Lol

[@emily9695]

Acro is short for acro dance which is a style of dance

[@mattnobrega6621]

Brave and talented young ladies. Congratulations to all that participated

[@juliannamagnanti3290]

finley, lilly, and roxie were my favs!! also, i cannot believe sylvie is 6, she looks so grown up

[@johnjp5883]

All really great but Lilly stood out!💫

[@harperoleary9433]

finley and harper were def my favs

[@pennalderman]

ROXIE FINLEY AND SYLVIE WIN SLAYED THAT

[@pivkina]

It’s crazy that sylvie is 6!!

[@kimberlyk3928]

I loved Finley!

[@lLillysLuvsOfficial2354]

they killed it!!❤❤

[@sarahequestrian628]

Lilly Anderson did so good she was my favorite (in my opinion)

[@sheldonh.2294]

Are you nuts?? all these girls are soo cute and talented! impossible to pick who is better!

[@fiveh3340]

Finley did so well! Roxie, Aria and Lily too! But shoutout to little Sylvie Win you wouldn't even know she was 6 years old if people didn't point it out

[@JenFiegel]

I think most of them did way to many legs holds for how fast the song was

[@princesseleler5515]

I’m convinced that sylvie win is actually 16* not 6! No 6 year old should be this good! She’s making history.

[@teganrossdance]

Omg I literally commented that on her solo...that Ellary Day choreographed!!

[@justangel2714]

@@teganrossdance is Ellary day her sister? I thought Ellary was a child?😧

[@kaitie5ihop]

@@justangel2714 she is…she’s 9 and choreographed her 6 year olds sisters solo and it won 1st overall PeeWee at TDA…they are the definition of talent those teo

[@teganrossdance]

@@justangel2714 yes she's her sister and she is a child. A very impressive one!

[@sandyliang5232]

I dont get it. I thought the mini cateogry was 8-10 years old. How did Sylvie compete here?

[@OMGF1N]

everyone saying finley is their favorite makes me happy bc my name is finley and i like to pretend everyone’s talking about me😂

[@marysaunders1770]

Sucker for a dancer that can turn...kudos to the dancers that turned 👏 👌

[@dpguinee]

My top picks were Finley, aria, Lilly, and Harper! Awful song choice but they did the best with what they had!!

[@dpguinee]

@itzzrysa the point of the improv is to dance, not do a million tricks. Either way, it’s a terrible song, not even just in the context of dancing

[@rileyywhited]

Agree they chose a song from the movie Sing if I’m not mistake

[@jameslee8461]

@@dpguinee The point of improv is to show off what you can do. It doesn’t matter if you do a million tricks. As long as you have good technique and you be confident anything can be improv.

[@soph_saysHIII]

My favorite was aria or lily❤❤❤

[@DustyJones1997BGCL]

These girls are absolutely amazing 🥰😍❤️

[@footballhouse820]

Lilly Finley and aria were my top 3

[@rachelcooper2170]

I'd hate to be a judge...they are all great dancers! So hard to pick a winner 🏆. Does anyone know who won?

[@iheartrorygilmore]

finley

[@gl3009]

Lilly, Sylvie and ellery were my favs

[@sertol8874]

WAYUUU GOOD'S

[@KS-xm7cf]

I feel bad. Some kids had much better cuts in the music. I also feel so, so bad for the kids who clearly don’t have huge studios in the audience cheering for them. It seems so unfair. But they all did so amazing. They are so young. I think it’s odd that the people who wrote comments seemed to like one skill this year. Years past it’s been the tricks. I want the best DANCER. I want to see talented dancing. Technique, tricks, musicality, lines, turns, performance quality, etc.-- they are ALL important. The kids who could really dance were clear to me. Some of those lines, leaps, balances, etc. were incredible. Sure some were cuter and decided to give more performance and straight little dancing bits…but I want to be wowed by what I know that dancer can do every single day as a dancer. It will be interesting to see if any of these young ones go on to do professional dancing. One or two look like they could actually join a major company one day. Congrats to them all! (And was one really 6?!? No, no way!!!)
