Hannah puts a rhythmic gymnastics spin on Latin | The Greatest Dancer

[@naturalbby1722]

Her flexibility and the way she moves her body is INSANE!! She’s such a great performer!!

[@destinyyt6675]

To say she only had a week to learn a style she's never done before I think she did amazingly

[@Atinychoice]

April Hurst agreed! Dancers are always challenged with new styles and even tho we feel uncomfortable we do our best to become a stronger dancer. Literally Can’t get over the people commenting such nasty things about someone so talented, people have no education on the matter and give out opinions, they look like idiots

[@keithzebrowski5169]

Hannah never disappoints. And for the haters who says she is just gymnast I think I saw some dancing.

[@keithzebrowski5169]

@@SpongeBobbyBrady your right posing is not dancing but she has had ballet training what's with the hate? I don't get it go have some ice cream and calm down

[@debraterry5406]

@@SpongeBobbyBrady I'll clear this up. Arabesques, attitudes, chasses, developpes, tours jetes, grand jetes, sautes, soutenus, to name a few, are ballet moves that Hannah exhibited in her performance. Extensions are also considered a dance move. Oh, and let's not forget her Latin dance moves. By saying that all Hannah does is gymnastics clearly shows your ignorance. She's had ballet training and it shows. By the way, the majority of the dance numbers I've seen on this show do some form of acrobatics or gymnastics. Are you saying the same about them or are you just targeting Hannah?

[@petraloanne7296]

@@debraterry5406 She went to ballet school after her retirement and has mainly been doing ballet and contemporary jobs for a while now. She's had principal roles in ballet companies, so unfair to see so many people dismissing her talent and only seeing her for her past career.

[@debraterry5406]

@@petraloanne7296 I know. I've seen her bio. She is amazing and I fell in love with her after seeing her audition. I've been following her ever since. Being a dancer for 15 yrs. and a dance teacher for 10 yrs. I know a thing or two about ballet. I only wish I had Hannah's flexibility when I was younger. lol It frustrates me reading some of these comments. To say all she does is gymnastics in her routines proves that the majority of these people don't have a clue when it comes to dance. To see a dancer be so diverse, like Hannah, is so exciting! I just hope that the hateful comments don't hurt her in the end. I see that Hannah didn't post her comments and thanks after her performance like she usually does.

[@Atinychoice]

SpongeBobbyBrady actually use of stillness and pauses is commonly used in contemporary dance so get some education in dance please. Also acro is a dance style which she did using Latin movements also, can’t believe there are people this dumb commenting such stupidity

[@itzryonhi7082]

Her challenge was the hardest and she is amazing in general

[@garynarborough]

This was such a great performance Hannah. I have absolutely no technical understanding of dance but every dance you did took my breathe away. I was very sad you didn't get into the final. I want you to believe in yourself and your star ability as a dancer and really hope you go onto greater things to blossom into the great dancer you are. All the best for your future. You rock in every sense of the word! Thank for the delightful performances and entertainment you've provided!

[@jgzaz]

In heels and all. Amazing job!

[@magdesieb]

oh ! you have to dance in dancing with the stars !! I'd love to see you in dwts

[@StrawberryPavlova1]

This was amazing!!

[@abdullahsweid562]

This is very creative I love Hannah

[@gemmak5562]

The hardest challenge imo

[@debraterry5406]

To the men who say Hannah got off easy with this dance routine, unless you can dance like Yanis Marshall, you have no reason to be critical or judgmental! Some of the comments here from men are absolutely ludicrous! In case you don't know who Yanis Marshall is, look him up.

Yanis is life itself. 💜💙❤️

[@angelikponya7382]

Those tow guys can dance too I like their movement

[@alexandrakelsey7406]

I like Hannah and think she's incredibly talented, but I'm sorry that routine had little to no Latin steps! She did 2 syncopated lock steps, a Cuban break, and a zig zag, plus a little Argentine Leg work, and that's it! Really disappointed as I think she could have done more :/ She nailed the attitude, just not enough Latin content...

[@guslee9548]

Saying she's never done Latin before and it was in heels and her coach(Mat thew) isn't known for Latin either..

[@cheznardi]

Agreed!!

[@Sunflower_vally]

She choreographed all her dances in the greatest dancer herself, she has never done Latin before and knows little about the style as does her coach ofc their wouldn't be a professional Latin dance!

[@Katie-tz6xh]

First off shes flexible as hell. Secondly I think she did a good job plus shes not even the one who comes up with the routines probably so... point fingers at someone else. Especially if you cant dance yourself.

[@Sunflower_vally]

She choreographs all of her routines, i think she didn't know enough Latin moves to add them in

[@eddiebaby22]

She should have won

[@madison8568]

I feel like her dance could have been with the tempo of the music more. It all feels very one trick pony to me....

[@cheznardi]

I agree! More exact dance moves are needed. Very flexible but more dancing required.

[@madison8568]

cheznardi exactly! I said something similar I saw on the last video of her too! I said it seems like they are using the same moves in different variations. It is the same constant tricks (that is literally what all of those flexibility moves and contortion moves are referred to in dance; some people like them, some don’t) with maybe a sprinkle of some technical moves like the turns and very little dancing. Her technique is good in some areas but then lacks in others (she falls out of turns or lack power in leaps). It is clear she is a rhythmic gymnast who is trying to be a dancer. It is also very clear she needed to find herself who she is post rhythmic gymnastics as a dancer and not as gymnast. She definitely should have invested more beforehand in dance classes in the various styles to really develop that musicality and style. Then also to an extent those are things that just naturally come to a person with a time and being allowed to just explore freely. In rhythmic gymnastics routines are choreographed down to the hand position with very little room for artistic creatively. I also think whoever is choreographing this isn’t doing a good job. They lack in musicality.

[@SincereCharity]

Her dance was overwhelming awesome! While the song was underwhelmingly lame in comparison. Too slow for the dance in my opinion

[@kklovesx]

As far as I’m concerned...... she is just a gymnast doing gymnastics to a beat of a song.... sorry🤷🏾‍♀️

[@kimberleyharris8300]

Then you know nothing about dance there was literally one rhythmic move in this whole dance,so that accounts for maybe 5 seconds. The rest was dance.

[@kklovesx]

Kimberley Harris ONE!!! come on...... no disrespect but there was definitely more than one

[@kimberleyharris8300]

@@kklovesxwhich ones?

[@indiabenjamin403]

Keturah Lewin Knight completely agree, the performance was based around her gymnastics, not about her dance and it was disjointed

[@kimberleyharris8300]

@@SpongeBobbyBrady yeah a person who can do fouettes, penches, attitude turns and jetes.. definitely not a dancer.

[@katherineborchard9924]

Didn’t like it, I prefer her with the ball like her audition. She looked more comfortable, they making her something she isn’t!

[@Atinychoice]

katherine borchard the whole point is to challenge a dancer to help them get stronger, yes she’s a rhythmic gymnast and it’s nice she’s getting her sport the attention it deserves but it’s a dance completion to find the best dancer and the best dancers out there tend to be good at several styles so it’s nice to see this. She also did amazing, Latin is super hard!

[@debraterry5406]

Dancers have to be diverse. Meaning that they need to be able to perform different styles of dance. Being out of her comfort zone, Hannah did quite well. Her stage presence and confidence is amazing.

[@Teishuniverse]

This was cringy

[@KaysScatteredThoughts]

matteisha young HOW?? She had the hardest challenge!

[@Teishuniverse]

Kayode Awonaike I said that because I could tell this wasn’t what she is use to, to mee her legs looks uncomfortable doing ballroom dancing

[@KaysScatteredThoughts]

Very true it was evident! She can camouflaged well with her technique

[@Atinychoice]

I think she did amazing trying a new style and we should encourage dancers to do this to get stronger, not write mean comments cos we’re jealous

[@roberthrehson2060]

Kayode Awonaike harder than learning ballroom and tap in a week come on now. This was one of the easier one
