Open Solo Age 16 Northland School of Dance Top Score Senior Solo Choreograped by Corrie Rolf-Dunn, Teresa Rolf & Tim Olson Disclaimer: This video was uploaded with permission.
I was at one of the same competitions as she was and right before she went on stage I wished her good luck and I had no clue how AMAZING she was!! She is like my idol and I want to be just like her one day! She is absolutley amazing and perfect!!!
You're incredible! Never stop dancing! I can't stop watching this video! I hate how you can just effortlessly carry your leg to your ear with basically no momentum...how???? Brilliant!
I met her at a convention 2 weeks ago, she dances like this for everything, not just performances, she is a star and I only hope that I could one day be like that!
Great job lysss!!! i can not tell you how many times i have watched this and even when you are practicing in the studio it is breath taking.. love ya girl!!
I just wanted to tell you that after I saw this solo once, I watched it again 7 times. It's just perfection and your extension is just amazing. I really look up to you as a young dancer.
She's a gorgeous dancer! Her lines are beautiful and she made the dance look effortless. And to whoever said she was anorexic, she clearly isn't. You can from she just spends a lot of time training but she still has some meat on her bones.
Yes, I am 17 but my birthday is in March so I have competed as age 16 the whole year! And yes I am going to the dance awards this summer as well as nycda nationals! :)
Thank you so much for all of the sweet comments! I really appreciate it! :) I have a sticker design on the right side of my body! My dance is about the battle between good and evil so the sticker side is my evil side! And hahaha no, I am nowhere near anorexic to clear things up! lol
I would say just keep doing what you are doing! As long as you are working hard, I am sure you will improve! I also go to a performing arts high school along with my studio (still an hour away from home--I live in a small area too) which helps a lot because I receive free dance classes there! But it sounds like you are on the right track! :)
I just thought you should know you've been popping up a ton on tumblr with anyone who is subscribed to "dance" I think you're very talented and your fan base is really growing. I really hope you try out for so you think you can dance. I think you could win.
I'm really glad more people are choreographing to Olafur's music. He deserves the recognition. This was really good choreography and I love it, though I do wish they could have played more on musicality. I didn't feel like the choreographers stuck to the music much when I was watching this. It's amazing, but it's not beautiful, when the latter of the adjectives apply to Olafur's music.
Musicality is amazing. She is the drums. She is the violin. She is the music. TRUE dancing
I was at one of the same competitions as she was and right before she went on stage I wished her good luck and I had no clue how AMAZING she was!! She is like my idol and I want to be just like her one day! She is absolutley amazing and perfect!!!
Couldnt look away, She was amazing!
Definitely my favorite of Lyss' solos next to A Long Walk. Great job Lyss !
It was such an amazing honor to be taught a beautiful lyrical combo by her.🙃Miss her a lot.
Every move she does has such conviction!!
You're incredible! Never stop dancing! I can't stop watching this video! I hate how you can just effortlessly carry your leg to your ear with basically no momentum...how???? Brilliant!
I am now 17, and I have already been to some of those ballet intensives for the summer! I have been to SAB, ABT, and Joffrey NY! Thank you so much!
OMG. THIS IS DANCING!! Bravo!! Just simply excellent!
Great, Great......GREAT!!!!! Your movement, the emotion, Your costume/make-up-Perfect, the music, etc....etc....and the Oscar goes to.....

I met her at a convention 2 weeks ago, she dances like this for everything, not just performances, she is a star and I only hope that I could one day be like that!

I don't know why but the whole time i felt like if Lady Gaga was a dancer this is how she would dance. She's amazing.
Thank you again everybody for your sweet comments! I really appreciate it! :):):)
Love it she was very fierce

Mia Diaz danced to this!!! but she is 100% AMAZING!!
this is so awsome
She's a beast.
This is so cool.
She did not enter the title competition at Starquest this year. It was an extra fee, but she did win 1st Overall High Score Senior Solo.
I would say just keep doing what you are doing! As long as you are working hard, I am sure you will improve! I also go to a performing arts high school along with my studio (still an hour away from home--I live in a small area too) which helps a lot because I receive free dance classes there!

I'm pretty sure the song is called "brotsjor" can't remember the artist.
Alyssa u r amazing!!!
her legs and her look remind me so much of Kayla Radomski! Beautiful dancer!!!
Those legs..her extensions are BEAUTIFUL. Such a strong demi pointe and releve. All around beautiful dancer.
I'm really glad more people are choreographing to Olafur's music. He deserves the recognition.
This was really good choreography and I love it, though I do wish they could have played more on musicality. I didn't feel like the choreographers stuck to the music much when I was watching this. It's amazing, but it's not beautiful, when the latter of the adjectives apply to Olafur's music.
omg, she's perfect.
