Attitude Performing Arts Studio Singapore

[@mara-er4ss]

she was probably nervous jeez guys stop all the mean comments... shes a perfect dancer she was probably just really nervous

[@triniroma4957]

She shouldn't be

[@chelseacrick1280]

+Trinity Corpuz why? I've been dancing for 11 years now and I still get nervous when I go on stage for a solo at a competition

[@m.h2247]

+Trinity Corpuz She shouldn't be? Lol. Try to dance in front of thousands of person when you're all alone on the stage. Remember that she is in the categoy 15 and under. She'll dance better than you'll ever be able too.

[@fernandodominguez8153]

+Mara Martinez yes, and she should be very nervious cuz i think it is an International competition

[@fernandodominguez8153]

+Trinity Corpuz if the girls from Dance Moms are nervious sometimes... idk, maybe ALL dancers get that way from time to time

[@m.h2247]

Megan Lau read this comment. You're an amazing dancer. I'm dancing too and they don't even imagine how HARD is it. Training, flexibility, be elegant, remind your moves and keep dancing with expressions and emotions, evene if you're nervous as hell, all those things you did brightly are showing how beautiful, talented and strong you are. You're 15 or under? well let me tell you that when you'll be like 20, you'll be above them all. I can't even understand how they can criticize you even if they're not dancing or dancing but not that talented. I love dancing, it is so beautiful. I almost had tears when I saw you. Continue like that, listen to your profesor and ignore all those ignorant haters.

[@chloeswanson9777]

Melody Headburn agreed. im a dancer as well. i thought she was beautiful,but one little mistake ans she was absouletly terrible!!🙄(note the sarcasm) she was amazing,,i get really nervous so i cant imagine having to do a piece that advanced.

[@avmhbeeer]

she's literally only thirteen and her skill level surpasses many her age. most of y'all probably can't do half of what she does so please feel free to sit tf down. she had one bad turn and one bad leap, the rest of you "dancers" commenting probably have bad dances. so, BYEEEE

[@triniroma4957]

Saying so, BYEEE at the end doesn't make you cool or anymore wrong. At her we she is suppose to know how to do those things. I have been dancing only a year at 13 and I dance way better than her.

[@avmhbeeer]

+Trinity Corpuz I'd respond... but reading your comment while trying to overlook your grammatical errors have knocked down my IQ a little bit, and I just can't anymore :/ So, all I'll say is if you can dance better than her then upload a video and walk the walk.

[@triniroma4957]

The only thing wrong with my comment besides the fact that I messed up the word age and put the word we instead. The fact that you couldn't understand that is bad on your part.... If your IQ went down more from my fairly simple to understand comment, then your IQ is probably more negative than it used to be. FYI you can just watch her and know that her turns were bad. The girls on dance moms can do better turn than her when they were half her age...

[@avmhbeeer]

+Trinity Corpuz "doesn't make you anyone wrong" I think you should rethink that lmao. And you might be wrong about my IQ, seeing as I get paid to go college and am a double major. But oh well, what can you do. Main point is, there's no need to comment on someone's dance video telling them they're doing bad or girls have their age can do better. If you are so good at dancing, stop watching dancer who are "worse" than you, or better yet comment about it, and upload a video of yourselves dancing if you all think you're so great. I'm sure if you were all brilliant dancers you'd be doing something better than what you're doing I this comment section. Lmao.

[@avmhbeeer]

+avmhbeeer half*

[@abbymayo7368]

Her choreography is great, and she's an amazing dancer with great lines!

[@kailalusk1661]

She is so pleasant to watch. Like she's effortless when it comes to the leg raises,turns and jumps.

[@brandymontgomery9170]

I've always loved watching dances to this song, and despite her few little errors here and there, she's beautiful. I just wish there was more choreography and a story, rather than all the extensions.

[@mariewilson4838]

Was anyone else expecting an aerial when she did her turns? Lol, maybe it's bc of Dance Moms😂

[@iiiCosmic]

OMG yes!

[@Mooniesaurus]

Saaame

[@Victoria-hi6ij]

[@emmakilgore3510]

Same

[@zoeydelia6108]

Marie Wilson Yess xD

[@Kuppycakes327]

This is absolutely beautiful. She may be depending too much on her leg lifts but they look spectacular.

[@eleenagomez3215]

all of these comments about how she did a "bad job" is so unnecessary... she's a dancer she's going to mess up.. a lot, and you know what there's nothing wrong with that! yes we all have our opinions, but that doesn't mean it's right to expect her to be perfect and not have any errors. I think she is a marvelous dancer especially for a 13 year old :)

[@cryssilynn2832]

this is the best dance I've seen to Breathe Me yet, so beautiful.

[@LpsCrayon]

I aspire to be like this dancer. beautiful and a wonderful job!!

[@tomwohlfahrt3357]

Tbh I wanna see you all dancing. Probably nobody better. Dear lovely girl, I think you did a great job!

[@chloeswanson9777]

i get that you are trying to compliment her,,but there is no need to say stuff like that. she is absouletly amazing,but she isnt the best in the world.dont hold your breath guys

[@niastevens589]

This dance is beautiful. It inspires me so much and makes me so happy!

[@brigittegholar976]

YOU ARE A PHENOMENAL DANCER. I FELT EVERY WORD OF THE SONG'S LYRICS THROUGH YOUR DANCING. YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING PERFORMANCE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cyybur]

Her technique and lines are incredible, but she needs to work on her emotion and her turns. Her turns started to travel, but over all were great. She's an incredible dancer with incredible potential. Can't wait to see what she does in the future.

[@Ketclin]

OMG UR PROFILE PICTURE IS LIFEEEEE

[@cyybur]

Sara Jaffe HAMILTOONNN

[@leahvesz]

Jacøb G Audiø Swaps her emotions were perfect.

[@veronicachasteen1685]

This was gorgeous....last year I did lyrical and I didn't really want to do it this year but I'm now inspired to do it again😄

[@kaylaannmclean5304]

your movements all flow so smoothly. it's not choppy, great job.

[@finestmochii2112]

I love this song soooo much! And the dance is soooooo pretty too

[@hannahmckeehan7997]

Wow this girl is amazing this was outstanding, very very talented 👏🏽✨

[@alyssabrenner2652]

Dance isnt about being perfect during every performance or having perfect turns. It is about getting out of your head and finding some way to connect to each song's story. At such a young age, a song like this is hard to connect to. Due to that, this performance was actually quite good for the age range.

[@abrianawilliams2544]

She Is A Great Dancer. She Has Great Lines And Great Feet. She Really Showed Emotion On Stage And Actually Told A Story. I Think That She Has A Lot Of Talent And She's One Of The Flexible Dancers I Have Ever Seen. She Is One Of These Kids That Was Born With Great Flexibility And Great Turns. When She Was On Stage She Never Missed A Beat. She Listens To The Music And Hears It. She Is A Lyrical Dancer And I Hope She Does More Lyrical Dances. But She Can Turn Like Nobody's Business. I Thought That When She Started To Turn She Was Going To Do A Side Aerial Or A Front Aerial. But Her Legs Were Straight And The Feet Were Pointed. That's Why She Takes Class With A Good Teacher And Works Hard 24/7 And Her Dancing And Her Technique Is Getting So Much Better By The Day. She Is Good At Facial Expressions And She's Good At Turning. She's Going To Make It Into The Business Someday As Long As She Continues To Dance For The Rest Of Her Life. She's Really An Advanced Dancer At The Age Of 13. When You're 13 Or 14 Your Technique Gets Better And Better And She Is Good At This Stuff For Her Age. You Know As A Dancer You Wanna Be Good At The Turns And The Emotions And The Leaps. She Is The Best Dancer I Have Ever Seen. I Liked Her Solo, The Costume, And The Song. All Of It Was Perfect. She's Beautiful Absolutely Beautiful.

[@kait5268]

Is anyone going to mention how beautiful her costume is omg!

[@amandabok169]

The comments in this section just go to show you how harsh the dance world is. What a beautiful young dancer 👏👏👏🙌

[@kyrstencarlson8660]

Probably the most talented dancer I've seen on KZbin so far :), The outfit is gorgeous and so is the song and she was so graceful and flexible, I LOVED IT

[@avalee2863]

This gave me shivers down my spine, in a good way

[@xiomarabernard6809]

Stunning precision. There were moments that I could tell she got a little nervous in some movements, but overall, she had technique, grace and talent.

[@michele2132]

Omigosh she is so good, her expression of dance is clear.

[@uniquelyprecious9281]

People who haven't even dance will say shit because they think they know everything because they watch dance mom like okay they are they are good but they do have flaws , nobody perfect . Stop comparing dancers

[@lexieclements1653]

Not to mention the fact that the dance moms girls do their dances twice - once for the actual competition and then the second one to record. And usually if you get to do your dance twice, you've got it down by then.

[@darinachopko3454]

Yeah cause like I've danced before and I can't tell all the people how HARD it is to be out there on that stage and not mess up cause like when you don't get a good place it pushes you harder and it creates you a better dancer I've placed 6th last competition and then the next one I pushed myself and I got 2nd

[@cheese____24]

uniquelyprecious i dance myself and her technique was crap. sickled food right at the beginning.

[@divisdivis6491]

It's not what she doing its how she do it. This girl is special ❤

[@reagangorkow8344]

this song is so extremely emotional and i really wish she would’ve showed a story through her face and her dancing. it was all just movements and tricks. but she’s a great dancer overall

[@linaiamira]

that was so beautiful ! i wish i could dance like you

[@GraceFaithGFDance]

This dance was both impressive and beautiful. Megan has great technique as well as flexibility and height in her kicks and leaps : )

[@cynthiajose7787]

Wow! You should be a star

[@LissaKaye22]

You are such a beautiful dancer.

[@melaniebrown6245]

This was wow. Beautiful

[@arionbriyel4324]

Its okay girl, i some days I turn some days I don't. lovely job

[@aluel3721]

I'm a great dancer but I always forget to point my feet!!!! "Good thing Abby lee Miller isn't my coach! 😂😂😂

[@madhatter9335]

Brianna's ROBLOX same😂😂

[@mrsjunghoseok4811]

xNicoleLove's Msp If you were a great dancer you wouldn't forget to point your feet 😂

[@aluel3721]

MrsJung Hoseok No ones perfect now stop scrolling down the comments and start commenting hate commments.

[@mrsjunghoseok4811]

xNicoleLove's Msp I'm not hating, but it's logical. Don't go around parading the idea that you're a great dancer when you can't point your feet, sweet heart.

[@aluel3721]

MrsJung Hoseok :o do you realize I'm not asking for your opinion anyways

[@Thelpsgeekgal124]

her lines are perfection

[@heyitsnys6144]

Beautiful! Keep up the great work! :)

[@cooperjohnson8066]

this is perfect the emotion is in this is a tear jearker

[@journeeavalon]

your solos are amazing! You should post more self choreo!!😍😍👏👏

[@flyboy1393]

That was an amazing dance, I wish I had thatuch flexibility. Great job!

[@saramusic9560]

This was amazing❤❤

[@classicroyaltyyt785]

her solo is in perfect rhythm with the song Believe by Mumford and Sons!!!! :DDDDD

[@MELVINBIGSMOKE]

soo graceful...

[@brookeheartsdance1128]

This was very inspirational for me 😘😘

[@nataliaramos1265]

i really love this doing and you did a really good job dancing to this song

[@kenziediette780]

Omg! Your so good!!!

[@wasabaddog]

Beautiful...Keep dancing!

[@anthonypine7357]

Superb!

[@uriellyamazing5702]

She was beautiful. I wish I could dance like that. :)

[@eogbonna33]

It was like whenever she did something that requires flexibility, she did it like it was natural, pretty much flowing

[@prolife76]

Beautiful!

[@xiomarapeach]

yr a beautiful dancer

[@vaffanculo9669]

this is amazing omfg

[@itsme-uw9vd]

very beautiful and graceful

[@abelmartinez7418]

she was awesome

[@ashleycollins5767]

Very beautiful dance. I am not a dancer, but she looks really flexible, but I wish I could have seen more emotion in her face during her dance instead of at the end of her dance. Seems like she was really focused on her technique. But a step up would be emotion in her face. She would look even more fluid.

[@NicholeCarterMusic]

Magnificent!

[@chandraschwarzbach9227]

Beautiful leg extensions. :)

[@ellacross8884]

This is amazing

[@jia822]

Wow you have such beautiful extensions 🤩

[@navidelrey1344]

amazing i loved it

[@park._.phoebe7304]

beautiful

[@simonet3386]

you are an amazing dancer! the only thing you could work on is your arms but it was so good

[@holoyoloslimes1597]

She's amazing but I did see her fall out of her turns and some technical issues. But she's amazing!❤️

[@alliesurfindago2258]

this is just my opinion but i think she should use more emotion when she dances but overall she did beautifully! ;)

[@cecels6385]

She kind of inspired of working on types of dance routines

[@seaofag9752]

Wow awesome

[@FufuberriForeva]

Do you know where I can buy that dress? I love it! :)

[@keannarainie2891]

No need to point out any flaws, guys. I personally found nothing wrong with the dance... I thought it was beautiful.

[@amayawilliams1002]

Im at level 3 out of 5 in my dance department and i think she did great!!!

[@elisew1783]

3 must be easy at your studio then

[@FreeAsMyHair328]

she is very flexible and has great technique but a lack of control and balance. Some moves were rather rushed and sloppy and she fell out of her turns quite often. But overall she is a pretty good dancer and just needs to work on those few things.

[@triniroma4957]

I totally agree with you!

[@gentlejello]

I agree. But she has many years ahead of her to train... I wasn't even as half as good as her when I was her age...

[@cherrybueaty5135]

Jess noyb she is nervous! I would be it but fast and sloppy also and you too sit down geez

[@goeticfolklore]

[ directed towards: Cherry Bueaty ] This individual is simply giving constructive criticism in a respectful manner.

[@neorenjie]

So cool

[@Kuppycakes327]

Awestruck.

[@katarynamccormick6958]

she was very good at each individual movement, but she did not do a very good job of flowing them with each other. Still very beautiful though!

[@jadahpinky2262]

she is amazing just when she fell out her turn but it was good

[@imbandsexualmom8261]

Amazing! Work on softening and connecting your movements, and holding your poses (like an extension or ponche etc) as long as you can and stretching them for the whole count assigned to them. Your a la seconde turns do need some touching up, but overall great job!

[@eller3794]

The way her skirt moves omg

[@giannamodica9457]

her technique was really nice and she stayed in rythm but she lost her balance quite often and needs to spot her turns

[@sabrinaaarose]

My sister did a dance to this song in her lyrical dance and she got lifted up xD

[@annamarie4483]

2:40 what kind of leap is that

[@jasminetyler2617]

A firebird leap

[@flowerfawn]

glittergirls47 2:42 is a firebird leap, 2:40 isn't lol

[@jordeahgrosko]

+glittergirls47 that was not a firebird

[@jessicakelly844]

+Anna Marie a stag leap, it wasn't a great choice on the choreographer's part, but she did the rest of the piece very nicely

[@chloeswanson9777]

Sig your musically bio says "here to spread positivity" but youre over here saying stuff like that. thats just fake and shallow.

[@meggielovania]

I know this is stupid but could someone tell me the differences between contemporary and Lyrical?

[@elizabethsayers4035]

contemporary has less ballet in it and lyrical is more ballet based normally

[@meggielovania]

ok Thank you

[@lindat9801]

She did an amazing job and she's a very talented dancer, but I don't know if I would call this lyrical, probably contemporary. The dance was composed of one trick after another, and lyrical is supposed to be more about the performance quality and emotion. I'm not saying that she's a bad dancer, I just think this dance shouldn't be counted as a lyrical one.

[@camilaparenti491]

What song did she use?

[@notusing7948]

Were those turns backwards?

[@serenity6067]

ok people need to stop saying HER turnouts are bad bc I can't even spin a 2 times in a row without falling down and my friends think I'm a good dancer bc I'm good and one thing won't bring me down bc I'm nervous

[@serenity6067]

***** Oh plz grammar police much btw if you gonna be a Grammer police start your sentence with a capital T

[@chloeswanson9777]

haruhi fujioka haha.if you cant do (the word is double;)),, then you are not a good dancer.(just sayin) your friends are idiotic.that just makes you look bad on your part.(lmbo)😂 you said "even I" like youre sooooo good,but you aint. if you say i am wrong,, post a vid to prove it. if not, thats exactly what i thought. shut up and get a life. you suck:)

[@etherealkay6517]

can someone answer me do u really need to wear makeup in hiphop and jazz?i dont like makeup

[@laurenandlily378]

Just stage makeup

[@cehart123]

Beautiful technique! But I couldn't see her motive for dancing. I couldn't read the story off of her face like a book. That's what I want to see when watching a dancer.

[@anaik6073]

It looked like she lost her balance sometimes, but other than that I liked it.

[@xavymendez51]

hi

[@gretasadler5144]

What did she place

[@darinachopko3454]

16tg

[@jeweliedelgado6729]

😘

[@b0bea989]

0:55 1:03

[@kassieRoze]

she's a beautiful Dancer, I didn't feel the emotion though.

[@shania3324]

when the Dancer was killing it but the Singer voice was aggy...

[@miapekez2060]

beautiful dance, just looked like she lost control on some parts though,...idk

[@joshlewis1794]

Very good flexibility however very little control she needs to spot her pirouettes and this was down to the choreography add emotion the songs lyrics are very dark and the dancer portrayed none of this in the dance however an excellent dance lots of potential

[@monicahutton8871]

Her flexibility is good and she has beautiful lines, however throughout the dance it was clear that she does not have good foot work. Which is why she stumbled and fell out of her turns and why she landed awkwardly from her leaps. Despite this the routine was fluid and had good movement.

[@dawnhone3536]

kepp the bad 2 cents to ur self plz
