Australian Teen Max Ostler Travels To America By Himself to Pursue His Big Dream! Will It Happen?

He doesn't only dance beautiful he is a beautiful soul. How refreshing to see such a humble and kind kid

Dances beautifully, not beautiful. You modify verbs with adverbs, to explain more fully HOW something is done. Adverbs end in “ly”. Remember this.

Hi, I’ve been doing dance for 10 years, competitive for 6. The control in this dance was beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Lyrical is very ballet based, which makes it harder when it comes to technique. His technique was great, I didn’t see a moment where his feet were sickled (slang for turned in feet), and I liked how he also incorporated breakdancing/acrobatics into his routine. He’s definitely taken some sort of gymnastics class, considering he was able to easily flow from the front tuck into a back walkover. The best thing about this dance, is that he makes it look easy. It’s hard to nail a routine, it’s harder to make it look easy, like you’ve been doing this routine since you’ve been able to walk. Great job to you, Max! Definitely going places!

[@krispiccone]

Awesome to hear a dancers point of view. I have two left feet so I’ve always envied those who can stay on beat but this is a whole other level! Truly magical!

Actually, he was insane both technical as emotional. He is strong and told a story. Love this kid. This is why I am on KZbin, to enjoy incredible talent!

[@wholeshebang1]

@Rvve Duio - This was "lyrical" dance, which combines ballet, contemporary and other dance styles. He had breakdancing and even gymnastics in his piece. Dance is a physical expression of emotions, just as music is the auditory expression and interpretation of one's emotions. Combined, they can be transformational.

He's complete definition of true and pure talent

[@winsboy]

Absolutely in love with everything about this kid! His carriage, his personality, his boy-next-door innocence, his love for his parents, and of course, his love for and pride in his art. He managed to make his entire performance appear as effortless and as natural as a walk in the park. With all the different techniques (acrobatics, break-dancing, ballet, etc, he put together so seamlessly, I was mesmerized especially by his beautiful, beautiful inventive leaps; high, graceful, yet manly, and...once again...effortless! The late, great Gene Kelly would have loved to dance with this boy. The world will love and honor Max Ostler for many years to come! Congratulations to the Ostler family and Australia for producing such a beautiful and talented young man!

The fact that Max came all the way from Australia (Great country that I’ve been to) by himself as an 18-year-old man to come here to Los Angeles, so he can compete on AGT. No matter how long he will stay in this competition, I get a feeling that he’s gonna becoming a dancing superstar someday. Those moves, acrobatics, the way he dances with heart and emotion is amazing. Congratulations Max and good luck on your journey on AGT.

" In Australia, "The Gold Standard" would be attaining success and achievement in the Grand Old USA. (BTW Mark: did you catch Another Aussie raise the roof on "Americas Got Talent" in one of the most creative, phenomenal "Pole Dancing Performances and Production, I ever had the good fortune to witness.

I will be tuning in to the Australian TV Broadcasting Network their (ABC) to monitor Max's "Coronation" LOL. Cheers Mate.

[@dennisfleurant7251]

RA JO: I agree 😥. Thank God for Max's Parents. One has to develop a Thick Skin and a quiet but determined self confidence, particularly as a performer when journeying outside the realms of what is "expected" and the limits society often places on those who want to break the mold and Express Their Limitless Possibilities. He journeyed from Sydney to the USA alone and on his own at such a tendor age in seeking his Dream. He forthrightly and Boldly announce on "America's Got Talent" his quest "to become the "Best World Acclaimed Dancer." Max is a Humble, Brilliant young man. His mentorship as example, is pure inspiration of creation for others to follow. This dispite any judgement in his favor or not. The Reality and Priceless lesson to be learned, may sound more like a well worn cliche, but the TRUTH IS "It Takes the Losses to Appreciate the Wins." And as Max and our own aging lives and experiences advance, we all come to realize a more indelible Truth: "What Doesn't Kill You, Makes You Stronger".

I also wish the director would keep the camera on *dancers' **_brief_** performances* instead of cutaways to the bug-eyed looks and exclamations of the judges or audience members, because we viewers (many times more than the studio audience) miss some of the performance.

Wow, just wow. From the moment he started to move you could see just how much talent he has, he made a very hard routine look so easy, the way he changed from one move to the next, so fluidly, takes so much control, and he made it seem like a walk in the park, there is nothing about this routine, that I didn't like. My dream when I was younger, was to be a dancer and a singer, but boys just didn't dance in the 80s, it just wasn't masculine enough, a medical condition also saw to it, that I'd never dance. If he was my son, I would be so proud of him, well done mate, I look forward to seeing you up on the world stage, doing what you clearly love.
