#59 Your critics are fans!!!
by juicy_girl at 10:56PM on August 14, 2008

Looks like NOOBINATER1 and Born2dance23 keep coming back to comment. They're watching to see if their comments will get to you..LOSERS! Haha that's funny. Thats were all the veiws came from - haters.. Since Born2dance can't spell, I'm guessing it's a jealous 12 yr.old.. NOOBINATER1 must be some crazy stage mom who's kid is awful and needs to take her anger out on your talented daughter.. PATHETIC!! Great job Kelsie and crew :) Keep it up!

Why are you on here bashing EVERYONES dances? These are some of the best young dancers around! You are soooo jealous... Get a life. Your comments are a joke!

#54 hmm..
by born2dance23 at 05:55PM on August 11, 2008

i did not like it she could be a good dancer but the choreagraphy was lacking!

by rachelnguest at 02:01AM on August 5, 2008

very cute :)

#52 what are you thinking xXpowapuffXx
by dancepro1234 at 10:41AM on August 4, 2008

I totally agree with dance_429 comments and xXpowapuffXx i really dont know what your thinking. This girl looks like shes 10 and shes doing these slutty moves. It is so terrible that kids this age are displaying such innapropriate moves like this. I also have to agree with noobinator1. I really think this girl should take more classes or something but her hip isnt even down when she throws up her leg. i can get a monkey to do that. no hard feelings

#51 Amazing!!!
by Tiana2010 at 07:05PM on August 2, 2008

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kelsie amazes me everytime I see her!! I still like it better in person,but it's awesome on here too!!

#50 to Dance_429
by xXpowapuffXx at 01:15PM on August 2, 2008

Her moves weren't innapropriate! she's 13, which means she is a TEEN not a CHILD as you say. AND HER CHOREOGRAPHY WAS NOT RAUNCHY. she's amazing, and so is this performance!

#49 Um
by Dance_429 at 01:54PM on August 1, 2008

I think the movement in this video is completely inappropriate for this CHILD'S age. This is why legit dancers think that competition dancers are beneath them. She has talent but the outfit and raunchy choreography take away from it. I can't believe the viewers voted for it!

#48 Great job!
by danceislife1 at 08:29PM on July 25, 2008

Your lines are beautiful and your technique is fantastic! Your performance was good, but you could tone down the facials a smidge. Overall, really nice!

wow you have to be crazy to give that girl a correction she didnt do any thing wrong shes amazing

#46 good
by mistynicole at 11:33PM on July 23, 2008

this is really good i liked it a lot but if your looking to improve just point your toes. that distracted me a lot from your amazing technique and flexibility

#45 you should
by idance5678 at 12:55AM on July 22, 2008

totally try out for the 2009 cover girl search omg they could use strength and extenstions and jumps like you totally

#44 wow!!
by idance5678 at 05:47PM on July 21, 2008

wow!! your really good! you have great extenstions and amazing leaps! keep dancing! i loved this routine :-) where do you dance? cause this was awesome! muah! ♥

Hi. Sorry so long to respond, I was at Showstopper Nationals. Kelsie takes lots of ballet and has since she was 4. You should check out my youtube account under sharesaz and check out all of her other videos. Her strength is lyrical and ballet. Anyway, thanks for all of your advice and yeah she is only 12. Good luck to you in your dance career.:)

#42 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 06:05PM on July 18, 2008

To be specific about her technique it's just her turn out and releve in turns and etc, but since she is only 12 she's great! Also she needs to relax her shoulders when she dances that way she can be more grounded in her turns. Tell her to imagine that there is a pole running from the top of her head to the floor. That helped me.

#41 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 06:01PM on July 18, 2008

Ok found your comment about how old your daughter is. Im 15 years old and my main genre of dance is ballet. I don't have flawless technique and i doubt anyone does. I thought your daughter was 15 or 16 haha im sorry. Since she is still young the bone in her hips haven't finished harding yet so she can do stretches to increase her turnout. I went to Europe for ballet and found out the Russians did intense stretches for kids at 10 years old so they could have darn near perfect turnout....scary.

#40 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 05:51PM on July 18, 2008

A dance teacher who will rip her apart only to reveal that she has had the confidence. I watched her videos and i could not even tell she lacked confidence. But i do agree with CaitlynDAT too. She is not an adult like you said so when she is older she may realize that she has progressed a TON when she looks back on this. And you have to think about this...im competitions i have noticed most girls (not your daughter) focus on tricks and have horible technique. Does your daughter take ballet?

#39 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 05:43PM on July 18, 2008

I read the comment that you said to CaitlynDAT. Since your daughter does not hear good job often she needs to use that to fuel her dancing so she can get a good job and wow and great EVERYTIME she dances. I think personally every dancer goes through a period of time where they lack confidence. I know i still do. But since your daughter has the heart, the confidence shouldn't matter when she is on stage dancing or in a dance class. It will come with time. I think she needs a STRICT dance teacher.

#38 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 03:31PM on July 17, 2008

How old is your daughter?

#37 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 03:26PM on July 17, 2008

I apoligize if i was harsh. Basically i want it to come from the heart more.

#36 BJTDancer
by sharesaz at 01:21AM on July 16, 2008

I do see what you are saying, but her teachers work with her on fixing those things, she must have done a pretty good job, because she got 1st overall. Kelsie's specialty is lyrical. Maybe you should check out her lyrical video entitled Father God, hopefully there you can see her amazing technique and ability to move and dance. She is not really a "trickster". This routine was for FUN! Everyone attacking her dancing is not going to make it fun anymore.

#35 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 02:41PM on July 15, 2008

Dancing is more about the movement than tricks. Enjoy the movement and the tricks will seem more amazing.

#34 To Sharesaz
by BJTDancer at 02:38PM on July 15, 2008

I do think that this was alittle repetitive. Also her technique could be better. For example, her releves when she turns could be higher, that way she can do more. Also when she goes to do like a calypso it helps to plie more in your chaines. I have been dancing for 13 years now and anytime i see competitions like these i feel like the girls are just "showing off" a ton of tricks and she kinda did that. When she prepared to do turns and etc you knew she was preparing for that.

hey girl you are absolutly AMAZING!!! I'm not joking, you will DEFINITLY be famous one day. And I agree, her teqchnique is FANAMINAL and some of you people out there need to keep your negative comments to yourself because trust me when she becomes older one day and is famous (wich she will be) you are really gonna regret what yall are saying.

#32 Wow!!!
by rftsdancer at 05:45PM on July 12, 2008

wow that was amazing! great faces and turns and technique! love the costume! Your extensions are really good too! Great Job!!

#31 To CaitlinDAT
by sharesaz at 02:43PM on July 11, 2008

O.k., I am trying to stay calm, but I am not succeeding. The point I have been trying to make is that she doesn't always hear "good job"! She has had some very hard lessons as a dancer already. She is not an adult and therefore still very impressionable. She is not a super confident kid anyway and to see people like you attack her technique really hurts. She has won numerous technique awards. Do you have children? If you do, then you should be able to see where I am coming from. Thank you.

#30 Needs Work
by CaitlinDAT at 02:54PM on July 10, 2008

I'm going to have to agree with DanceDiva04 and Tapper 2 - the choreography is not that impressive, and neither is Kelsie's technique. HOWEVER (calm down Mom, I'm only giving constructive criticism); she did perform it well and stayed in character. Kelsie seems to be extremely flexible - but strength-training will help her control her pirouettes more fluidly. Regardless of what people say - they have the right to say it. She can't hear "Good Job" every time or she has nothing to work for.

#29 To Sharesaz
by dancediva04 at 07:59PM on July 9, 2008

I see where your coming from. I appreciate your love for your daughter. she is better than most of the dancers on here already and she is soo young! THere is no need for her to feel insecure. she has amazing stage presents. Good job hon! keep up the good work!

#28 from anastasia.

amazing extension. great fouettes. love the costume and the song. =)

#27 To dancediva04
by sharesaz at 03:36PM on July 8, 2008

Of course I am into this dancer, she is my daughter and I get a little defensive when it comes to people just being plain rude. I welcome helpful comments, I don't expect everyone to be blown away by her, but she gets enough feedback from judges to improve her dancing and technique. Kelsie still has insecurities as a dancer and it can be very hurtful for her to read mean and negative things. If goes back to the whole "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all". Thank you.

#26 To Sharesaz
by dancediva04 at 11:33AM on July 8, 2008

You are obviously really into this dancer and i agree she did very well. i don't agree that you think people can only say really great things. If people only say good things then the dancer gets cocky or doesn't think she has to try harder. a little pointer sometimes can give them something to work on that they might not have noticed themselves. just thought i should mention it so you will stop saying everything under a WOW is an attack. and of course her technique will get better and better.

#25 WOW!!!!!!!
by hairpin1227 at 02:08PM on July 2, 2008

If you are going to put bad comments up then you are just jelaus cuz she is amazing!!!!!

by OhItsErika at 10:23AM on June 28, 2008

I absolutely cannot stand musical theatre, its sooo annoying. But this routine was awesome. I couldn't stop watching. Kelsie is a great dancer.

#19 I LOVE U
by dancerchika1 at 04:52PM on June 23, 2008

Kelsie you are my favorite dancer ever!!!!! i wish i could vote for u am million times!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#18 Very Nice
by wikkawicky at 03:35PM on June 17, 2008

I loved this routine! I think that your technique was outstanding and your lines are so beautiful!! The only critique I would give is that on the parts that were less jazzy and a little more hip hop, you could be sharper but other than that I have nothing bad to say! :)

#17 To Noobinator1
by sharesaz at 12:56AM on June 12, 2008

Are you seriously attacking a 12 year old girl on her technique?!! Classy. Kelsie is an amazing dancer and has excellent technique. I would love for you to upload your own videos so I can comment on your flawless technique. Hope it made your day to bring down a little girl.

#16 YIYKES
by noobinator1 at 11:37PM on June 11, 2008

just keep kicking your leg to your head to score big... try dancing sometime it is much harder then you would think... it involves technique

#15 she certainly showed off
by mmsisme4ever at 01:04PM on June 8, 2008

lol. very cute, i think it was a very appropriate song for her. I would have liked to see more expressions on her face, but maybe its just cuz its a little blurry. congrats and good job! =D

#14 To tapper2
by sharesaz at 11:34PM on June 3, 2008

You really need to keep the negative comments to yourself. I can't stand when people are rude like you. This routine is not the same moves over and over and it has done really well at all comps so it must be pretty well liked. Brandy Stiles is a very well known and respected choreographer. I don't know if you noticed, but all of the other comments on here are positive. I hope it made you feel better to attack another dancer.

#13 ?
by Tapper2 at 07:52PM on June 3, 2008

I found this in "Video of the month" - won't make that. Your doing the same moves over and over - and they are alot of the same moves you did in another video you posted, but different coreographers... dance style must run in the studio..... so so, your Father God was way better.
