YANIS MARSHALL & DANIELLE POLANCO'S HEELS CHOREOGRAPHY. "IS IT A CRIME" SADE. ALVIN AILEY NYC

[@marcosreyes3873]

OMG that solo dance from that female dancer was like magic. She seemed so light. Second, to be so young and full of dreams and ambition and to actually live it must be like living your dream. I wish I had the courage at their age when I was young to be so fearless.

[@annamenako]

it is never too late to show courage and live out your potential

[@fruit4evr]

you can never be to old to be fearless

[@ZZ-mh2nv]

The girl's dance in grey tights belongs in an art museum to be preserved and celebrated forever.

[@mimimalone548]

She is probably with the company and is a professionally trained ballerina.

The most inspiring moment was when the girl at 4:37 does her turns and you Yanis basically encouraging her to finish. He really was instilling confidence other dancers. Phenomenal.

[@hypersonic2867]

It's so nice isn't it, I don't know about you but I'm a dancer and it really helps to have encouragement from your fellow students and your teacher. You can see his passion and love for dancing on his face when he watches his students! I love it!!❤️

[@SmittenKitten.]

+Ellie Trueman Totally agree. You can dance alone and the choreo looks subpar, but when you're in class, and everyone is screaming as you're killing it, makes you turn it up even more. It's an indescribable feeling.

[@artstarcollector]

Anyone know her name?

[@mathildeeide8550]

The female teacher moves to perfection, she’s pure art.

[@jeannettjames8737]

I've watched this several times and I must give major cuddos to Dani. Her subtle nuances are very natural and she connects her entire body (hair hips toes) to the soul of the beat and gives every ounce of it to genuine femininity

[@waylangrant23]

+Jeannett James She is serving us Ninja realness!

[@swiftset]

+Jeannett James I completely agree! The comments seem to be focusing on the girl in the grey tights, who has an epic body, is flexible, and executed her moves proficiently ... but dani's movements were so organic, feminine, and beautiful that I think she was definitely the star of this. I love to see a dancer moving so smoothly that you don't get the feeling that they're following a choreographed sequence, just flowing with the music. Speaking of subtle nuances, check out the butt jiggle at around 1:50 that's perfectly timed with the music. Love it!

[@cleopatraJones365]

I LOVE Yanis so when I heard he was coming to NYC I had to go even though I do not dance. As someone who was there to BARE witness the girl in the grey was by far on a whole 'nutha level. She gave you sultry, power, control and her freestyle was mesmerizing at the end. That was all her. She is an amazing dancer, truly gifted.

[@angelaramirez4144]

It's such a pleasure to watch Danielle dance.

Storm Angelus yes there is , with out hills

[@stormangelus6638]

Nicki James Everyone had their opinions, love. I still find it funny that heels were developed for men in the Victorian Era to help them stand taller and thus look more grand. Men were dancing in heels at social situations long before Yanis ever started the trend. Don't believe me? Go look it up.
