Chloe Lukasiak - Variation from La Fille Mal Gardee (Full Solo)

Here's the full dance of Chloe Lukasiak's classical variation from "La Fille Mal Gardee" at the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) Semi-Finals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Friday, January 14th, 2011. She didn't place in the Pre-Competitive Age Division.
She represented the Abby Lee Dance Company.
Coached by: Peter Merz

[@TwistedApple]

just imagine if abby didn’t destroy her confidence and passion

[@LoomerE]

She had so much potential if Abby had treated her right...

[@4u_30_manraojasminetang4]

I'm sure she would have developed 10 times better if she was in a ballet academy instead of the aldc.

[@ChloeRaeRichmond]

Y’all know the show is scripted right- they were all acting..

[@TwistedApple]

@@ChloeRaeRichmond it wasn't scripted, they just heavily edited a lot of the scenes, and in later seasons they also encouraged certain cast members to talk about certain topics to create drama, but they definitely weren't acting

[@katymvt]

@@chanslaptop0 She also said in an interview that she hated Christy, but wasn't allowed to throw them out of the studio and they weren't allowed to quit, so she was purposely mean to Chloe. OK, she didn't mention Chloe or Christy's name, but it was obvious who she was talking about. And even if she was talkinga bout someone else, that doesn't make her sound like a nice person.

[@KeKe4Christ]

CHLOE WENT TO YAGP?!?! How have I never known this?! She could’ve been an elite ballerina tbh Chloe has/had all the beauty and grace of an amazing ballerina and it’s too bad Abby’s jealousy and bitterness broke this sweet girl’s spirit

[@olgasolyar4443]

This!! She naturally has amazing lines and good enough feet. Imagine if she trained pre-pro instead of competition. She would have def gotten a company contract. It's such a shame that Abby literally neglected her and what she was good at which is ballet.

[@KeKe4Christ]

@@olgasolyar4443 Chloe definitely does have a natural ballerina body! It’s sad because while I love competitive dancing myself, I don’t have natural lines and work hard for my ballet body/training but have no dreams of pro ballet, I just love dance but Chloe was born for it and Abby truly broke that girl’s spirit

[@candygirl1759]

Chloe’s smile was INFECTIOUS! It made me smile! She truly enjoyed dancing!! My heart literally melted at the sight of her dancing 🥺🥺

[@leonorapaust6369]

You can tell that she had potential. The issues she had in the variation (from my point of view as a girl who at least knows the basics) were in her form. Meaning the way she positioned her arms when she held her tutu for example or the way she ended her turns. Those are super specific and can be quite different from other styles. And considering that her studio at the time didn't focus that much on her classic ballet training, it would make sense that she was unsure of how to properly hold her arms with the tulll between her fingers. But hey, I danced as well as she did... when I was 14 lol. I wasn't good even that good at 14, who am I kidding XDDD

[@User-vhi9ox]

[@anonymousanon9941]

FINALLY, I've been looking everywhere for this solo, it's pretty much the only one she does that I know of that is purely classical ballet. No contemporary, no random jazz, no Lifetime screwing up the genre. Completely classical ballet. Beautiful. Could I ask where you happened to find it? I couldn't find anything anywhere, just photos.

[@LoomerE]

It's on the top left, but I had to purchase it. It was very expensive because of shipping.

[@iamsevenm]

Just thought about how Chloe’s dance career would’ve been completely different if she would’ve went directly in Ballet school instead of the ALDC

[@areanaangel8964]

She's currently recovered from an eating disorder. Being in the cut throat world of ballet would have been really hard mentally and physically. She would have been great up to a certain level where some teachers were still supportive. Once you go pro, or even pre-pro, Teachers call you fat and shame you. That's what happened to Sophia Lucia and she is recovered from an eating disorder now and is a dance teacher for children. I think Chloe would make a wonderful dance teacher for kids. She's so sweet.

[@olgasolyar4443]

She had so much potential in ballet it's a shame she wasn't allowed to train pre-pro

LoomerE so far we have boys boys boys from jump, so I guess we would just need the other 3 dances from before then?

[@LoomerE]

Ah, I wish! I don't think we would have her "Little Jazz Bird" solo since Fire & Ice didn't film dances I believe unless she performed it at the showcase. Same with the rest of her solos. "Poison Apple" can't be found unless Lifetime still has the footage of it.

She is so graceful, Abby should be ashamed of herself for verbally and emotionally bashing Chloe. To have put up with everything she did, she is strong beyond belief, most adults couldn’t endure that type of assault day after day.
