Melanie MCINTIRE, 304 - Prix de Lausanne 2024 - Contemporary

[@eve837]

I watch Melanie on a few other channels & this is the first I've seen of her contemporary dancing. Wowza! 🌞 Very lovely.

[@redfrag9607]

Her transitions from classical ballet steps to popular dance moves were seamless and looked perfectly natural - just what Wheeldon imaged IMO. This was a joy to watch over and over. Congratulations!

[@rottenrose7634]

It’s so refreshing to see Melanie in a lively and faster performance. Sometimes with how graceful she dance I forgot that she is just a teenage girl

[@lynnepichotta9492]

She is so beautiful and graceful.....thank you for sharing your talents!

[@fuletiopia]

It's incredible how calm and relaxed she looked before starting: she knew exactly what she was going to do and she wasn't worried about results and judgement, just the pure joy of dancing

[@wwjdkaren]

Been watching Melanie on KZbin for a long time, she is top notch and has the best twirls than anyone. ❤

[@user-mp1hv2ng4z]

A delight. Natural, precise, clean, clear, aerial, a stage acrobat. Agility, liveliness, charisma, precision. Wow! Breathtaking. And all this so naturally. How I love your feat or performance on this song: you delight me. Sincere compliments and under the total charm of an immense dancer

[@caracook2829]

I love the choice of a folk tune and I saw so much of Melanie’s personality in that piece. It was beautiful.

[@pattyliedel6485]

That was as fresh and light and joyful as the song. Mel makes it look so natural, but she’s so graceful the simplest moves are elevated to elegant communication.

[@elizabethpirie5050]

Watching dancers like her with so much talent makes my soul sing

[@viktoria93133]

Wow 😍 Such a unique performance. She is just incredible 💛

[@ehpope]

I watched Melanie on Master Academy KZbin. I believe their posts are a great thing…being able to see inside a professional school!! Please continue…wish other schools would do this. Especially good is the sense of fun and joy at this school with dancers cheering each other on!!

[@lisachayra01]

Melanie is truly a lovely ballerina and I will keep following her!

[@timothyheath577]

To have that amount of technique and talent at 17 is a wonder indeed. She’s pure, rare and classy!

[@kristen6207]

Wow I don't normally enjoy watching contemporary ballet but this was such a joy to watch Melanie! I loved your playful smile through out. You seemed so light and happy! Incredible performance.

[@user-we6kr9pl3mt]

Great song choice and amazing job Mel!!! I ❤ the pirouette queen!

[@sistahsunshine]

Love to see this side of your dancing!

[@isabellethoma2876]

Waw, sublime ! Léger, raffiné, subtil, plaisant, et une technique parfaite. Bravo Mélanie, c'est un bonheur de te voir danser ! Du grand art ! Je te souhaite une longue et merveilleuse carrière ❤

[@HeidiSue60]

Very nice! Best matching choreography to music that I've seen in a while...I heard she took first in contemporary....well done

[@MarigoldThyme]

Melanie great and graceful as always!👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖

[@alicec4970]

Melanie is such a mood, cant help but smile seeing her dance!

[@hilareeek]

I'm a sucker for Joni and you did this song such justice, Melanie! Thank you for sharing your dance with the world

[@bluestarr2009]

Oh, Melanie, that was beautiful! It so fit your personality!

[@belajadevotchka2]

Melanie is so stunningly beautiful! She positively floats!

[@essiefowler9775]

Melanie so lithe and elegant , she’s superb

[@Anna_65]

She's classical through and through, and I love it!

[@Ennaskyee]

Melanie has come a long way we are all so proud of f her

[@a.phillips6892]

[@delphe7182]

Brillante !!!!👏👏👏

[@margewilson7048]

Beautiful!!

[@lillianli3008]

Beautiful as always

[@andressalorenzutti5808]

o primeiro contemporâneo na ponta nunca vi algo parecido parabens melanie❤❤

[@cellomommy]

This girl is amazing! She’s going to be a BIG star in the dance world!

[@timothyheath577]

Wow, I’m so impressed. She knows all she has to do is one of her 18, 19, 20 pirouettes and she’d easily win people over. But no. She danced instead - and it was gorgeous. So 70s. V brave. There were some beautiful dynamics on show there. Magic!

[@patriciahandy2234]

Beautiful Melanie❤those extensions!!! ⭐🩰

[@diggermd1]

OMG. I TOTALLY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!

[@Discerning_Viewer]

OMG ... This is STUNNING! Adult, elegant, silky, real ... love love love en pointe. Love that flat back crossed-foot pose. Love your interpretation - you're softer, smoother, more playful, absolutely approachable .. you "didn't try" - you just danced. (What a change from getting un-rolled out of a rug!) You just gave Steven McRae's 007 tap a run for his first place money. (Has Wheeldon seen you dance this?)

[@KateCarew]

Beautiful! So different, I really love seeing Melanie express herself this way :) Sort of reminds me of catching someone dancing when they don’t know they’re being seen 🙏🏻 I love this more than her ballet ❤️

[@SevenRavens007]

Very beautifully done!!

[@MadelinCruz-ym5ge]

Muy bonita coreografia, felicidades Melanie, Dios te cuide y sigas aprovechando tu talento. Bonitos días 😃

[@3primenumber]

[@kimweidner7351]

Bravo!!!!🎉

[@parcorhardcor]

Melanie, this was beautiful! 💛

[@roxadiskide]

Maravillosa bailarina!👏👏👏

[@slohivid]

Lovely. So different.

[@dotcassilles1488]

Really enjoyed the playfulness shown here... I like how Mel looks at the audience, acknowledging that we are watching... Reminded me of the old black and white movies with the cheeky characters like Charlie Chaplin and old musical movies like Oklahoma, seven brides.... Really entertaining. Blessings, Dot

[@ktirepmats5625]

Merci Mélanie 🙏🇨🇵🙏🇨🇵

[@lara_Penzel]

Love it! Nothing like I have ever seen 😊

[@petite_misspetit_chat9795]

Bravo !!

[@annakey9651]

Stunning

[@samiamisme]

Gorgeous as usual. She always looks like she hasn't a car in the world while doing turn after turn. She gives the ability of simplicity but does some intricate moves. Loved it! Great song choice.

[@김이주-d7q]

omg!!!Her movements are soooo artistic!!!

[@rachelplummer4579]

I love how light and airy she appears in this piece. Lovely work. Would love to know who choreographed it.

[@mnmom723]

Great job Mel!!! ❤

[@claranoelledances]

Period!!! This was so good.

[@autymdymarczyk5914]

Such a talented storyteller. Her artistry is incredible. Such a joy to watch.

[@veroniquenavarro5759]

Bravo Mélanie.

[@smilin_kpop]

Go melanie!!!! ❤❤❤

[@crystalmeier6579]

So wonderful!

[@meinsternlein]

Magie!!!🎉

[@SaraMKay]

I‘m a huge fan, I wish I’ve been there to see her live ❤️

[@OceanLifeMoorea]

Melanie !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chez-Monica]

❤❤ merveilleuse 🎉🎉

[@bil-v6h]

paloma livellera vidart won one of the contemporary awards for this exact choreo. Melanie is a wonderful dancer but it is clear as day why paloma won doing the same thing and it is because paloma had charisma and amusing and exciting facial expressions. Mel, while i do appreciate her needs to train somewhere where they can work on her acting in particular. I wish both of them the best.

[@Victory_to_Ukr]

She as amazing in classics!

[@l214laus]

Well done Melanie , a very tough competition.

[@jenlouise1831]

It’s a beautiful execution of the steps but I wish it felt like there was life in the performance as opposed to it feeling simply a linear set of movements that have to be done in a certain order. It may be on the back of seeing Paloma’s beautiful performance which felt more lively and engaging to watch, still a great demonstration of technique and grace.

[@MaryCircus]

lovely

[@crystaliclake]

Love this song . Is it just me or does this not feel contemporary enough ?

[@darquequeen]

🥰💃🏼 🎶

[@bernadettecollas852]

Magnifique danseuse

[@kneal9203]

💛❤💛

[@flappyhands]

So good, wondering why she wasn’t a finalist. Love her work x

[@ludmilaabalakov6403]

[@beatrizsplicio9426]

owwwww!

[@cesrelawrence-towner9453]

❤

[@bssbss1752]

🎉❤

[@chinchenping]

as someone with no tempo and no coordiation, this is absolutely captivating

[@sophiakuyt5824]

Great job !!! I preferred this dance than La Esmeralda.

[@josejuanenrique]

What star do you come from, Melanie?

[@autumn_nights392]

Hahah, you can definitely tell she’s a ballet girlie. She did very well tho!❤

[@virginiamig6316]

FOI UM ABSURDO MELANIE NÃO ESTAR NA FINAL: ESPETACULAR!

[@HombreDeLaNorte]

I don’t dig contemporary dance, but I dig anything Melanie does!😆

[@XVMatthew]

Paloma was so much better i know you guys are fans of melanie but let's be real here

[@sakura44553]

I see many good aspects in this young dancer, but she lacks on artistic, touching elements of a personality, she hopefully develops with reading good books or so.

[@dianestangelo5184]

What in the world is this song? Idk. Odd choice. 🤷‍♀️
