We Are 11-Year-Old Latin Dance Partners, Not Boyfriend-Girlfriend! Tiny & Talented | On The Red Dot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- You might think Latin dance is a physical and intimate art form reserved for romantic couples. But there is an entire vibrant competitive Latin dance scene just for children under 12. Chiang Loong has been the odd boy out in dance studios since he was 6. He embraces Latin dance as a fun weekly hobby; competitions aren’t even on his radar. Mathilda Cook has dreamt of being a professional competitive dancer since she was 6 years old. She draws the attention of the crowd as a competitive solo dancer, but to go big, she needs a partner.
Can the two young dancers come together and learn to move as one - both on and off the dance floor? Will they conquer the international dance scene, including the prestigious Blackpool Junior Dance Festival? Can their friendship hold up under pressure?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

"My friends think he's hot"
"... don't put that in" 😂 rip bro
The level of education in SG is really showing with their youth. They speak so well and surprisingly matured. Hearing them speak their minds makes me smile. Rooting for your future success.
The beauty of being young and innocent. Great kids. Chiang Loong is a very matured and considerate young man. Tilly is honest and driven. Hope whatever the future holds for them, that they remain as good friends. Both have wonderful supportive moms/families and they both seem so well adjusted. Good job to the coach!
what a lovely family to support the boys dancing. the reaction from the brothe rwas immediate protection mode and no joking around cuz he supports waht his brothers passion is!
Tilly is indeed "the boss", so diplomatically correcting Chiang Loong's grammer. Chiang Loong's is such a gentleman. Beautiful dancing couple.
Both of them are so adorable. Hope they can dance and grow up together.
I love how they are both so genuine, mature and ambitious! It's so wonderful to see how much they have accomplished together as well as individually. And, they look so beautiful and accomplished on the dance floor!
17:15 extrovert and introvert dance partners so cuteee 😭 THE SHIRTS. I hope I see them still dancing together as they got older and become really good friends
as a good friend of mathilda’s, I was really shocked when I saw her pop up on my youtube page! (on cna somemore AHAHA) I’m really proud of her and i’m always amazed by her dancing skills, even during the small dance assignments and performances in school. go tilly
Wow! Your friend is such a good dancer. She's defined going places someday.
They're so sweet and honest together. I love seeing people be themselves like that.
Mathilda is definitely a Go-Getter! Hopefully she achieves everything that she sets out to do! Chiang Loong seems to be contended with whatever he has on his plate. Nothing wrong with that attitude. I'm sure he has set himself some targets, but he needs to be more confident in himself!!
Whatever the outcome of their partnership, I wish them both all the best, enjoyment in their dancing, and not forgetting to enjoy their childhood as well!
Chiang and Tilly are both adorable, talented, and very smart. You can really feel their love for dancing. Hope they can go far in the dance world! Good luck!
“I learnt to handle someone’s emotions” - training for husband material!!!
thats really toxic though. imagine if she had to deal with his tantrums. they should communicate not just take it.
They're kids , they'll learn
they are kids…
Haha I love how their mothers are best friends 😆
Mathilda is a magnetic dancer, she really draws the eye. Chiang is very good too. I wish them the best but I am not sure the partnership will last. The boy looks like he is going to be very tall and the girls looks like she won’t so the future height difference might be an obstacle
true
Both such graceful and accomplished dancers, they catch your eye at once, and how special that they are also such lovely, kind, mature people too!
Love this segment. Adorable kids and their interview crack me up. 😅 Both are very talented dancers and hereby wish them all the best.
Fantastic dancers! Could not stop watching! Your accomplishments and improvements are so visible. I had no idea the length of time and energy required for each dance section. You are both true athletes with dance as your sport. Having to put in 16 hours just to compete. Big 👏👏 for the Teacher & Mothers. Extremely time consuming , not to mention very expensive$.
i hope nobody will bully him at school, if they do they just jealous because they cant dance. hope for both the best in future and keep doing what u love, dont put yourself in pressure.
They are so talented. I believe I’ve seen them dance together before…they’re amazing. Yes 👍🏽 they are adolescents, please support their innocence. Their future as DANCERS will definitely be BRIGHT.
I love their personalities. They are both adorable 🥰 and mature in their solo movements.
I love these 2 kids, so cute, so loveable. I kept rewatching this video. Hope they enjoy their dancing journey and competitions. They certainly have great mothers. Not all kids have the privilege of learning dancing.
They're cute and funny haha! Hope their careers as dancers goes well!
I want to see more of Chiang Loong and Tilly dancing! Thank you for this documentary.
Just innocent, child like, hard working and honest. So precious.
Love how they talk about their relationship!
Ballroom dancing is so amazing at teaching life lessons. The lesson where the Man leads and the Woman follows is so opposite of society today. To learn to remain connected and engaged during the process of relationship is foundational. Also learning that leadership and roles can change based on circumstances. (Tilly bossy off stage😅) A Huge lesson: how to support the partner if one fails. Instead of blame, how do you respond to support your partner to succeed. (Coach, you will need to respond quicker).
All children should learn ballroom dancing. Especially if they come from broken homes. The "innocent partnering relationship" in the context of beautiful dance moves (focused on style & roles vs sensuality)is priceless.
Pray their friendship and respect & care for each other remains priority over competition.
By far, the best dance partnership has got to go to Tessa Virtue and Scott Moire. They dance on ice but when they dance, the chemistry is fire. I think they are fantastic role models for partnership dancers. I personally also enjoy watching their chemistry off the ice. It's a sentimental feeling to watch them love and care for each other so much that it overflows into their dance. That's truly a pinnacle 💯 All the very best, Tilly and Chiang Loong! ❌⭕
They are cute. When they interact with each other , they are like a husband & wife. Lolll. Too cute. I cannot. 😊
This was lovely to view, took me back to my own junior competitive dancing days at Blackpool.
The system hasn’t changed much over the years, it is still exhausting, that’s why it is called Dancesport
It’s not all glitz and glamour, it’s a lot of hard work, plus money invested by the parents.
They look good together, he definitely has the physique for dancing.
Yes you get teased especially being a boy. Come 16-18 and you know how to dance, the world will be your oyster. It is like riding a bike, you never forget how. 😊
I lived in Blackpool the Empress Ballroom was my practice floor, we didn’t know back then how lucky we were.
honestly they looked good together and the chemistry haha
Matilda is such a magnetic dancer!
All the best in your dance journey guys, I hope you both stay dance partners for very long and accomplish many dance goals and competitions together. Most importantly, have fun and never lose the love and passion for dance!
their forms r no joke coming from a dancer. i hope u guys good future!!!!
郑龙，哇，你太棒啦！ 你跳得真好！也高兴看到你的大哥郑义哦。老师想念你们啦！🥰🥰

His Movement Is Good. Dancing Provide Grace. When I Was A Teenager During 1960s. We Teenagers Used To Learn ChaCha. Rumba, Waltz, Foxtrox, etc.

It is still normal today to learn "standart dances" at that age.
Thank you Talking Points, always learned something from your shows.

Tall and handsome boy.. no wonder the girl likes him.. the girl is so shy
Yes I am one of Chiang Loong's classmates. He is 12 this year and he attracts girls attenion in my class. 1 of them is called Elizabeth

whwat school is he in@@Necro.AlphaPro01
Well done. So cute❤️
Wow!! Very nice
Ahh that’s my girl🔥🔥❤️❤️
Muy bien
The only thing that would make them not be dance partners in the future is probably if the growth spurt makes their height unsuitable... But the innocence and childhood of the two of them is really nice. Man my childhood was about finishing homework.
dance and love it. do your passion.
Go Tilly!!!
Did I hear go 87? Yaay! I just loved him. And yes, that final time in pink, he aced it better than Tilly even though they were partnering.

Somehow I feel they will be husband and wife in the future if they keep working together
21:08 OKAYYY 🫢 they ATE. WOW.
They are both adorable and really talented. I wish them a successful future.
They are hilarious with their matching shits. 😁😂 Emotions at that age are all over the place. Cue the film Inside Out. 🎬
Love Latin music..
🔥🔥🔥
6:30 QUEEEEEN! Cmon LSF reprentation !
Both of them were really sweet and kind, but this is out of the blue, how come I recognise Mathilda? For some reason I remember her in my school in my grade but she left… idk lah
6:28 OFCOURSE she’s a K-pop fan, bless she’s so cute
hope they get along well in life too and perhaps get married they are both so cute and amazing.
Keep collab dancing you guys! 😂👏👏👏👏👏👍
BABIESSS
That's a couple shirt! Hahahaha so innocent,
love the moms lego flowers lol
Okaaaayyyy they got a Tesla
Slay
what dance is not for boys sia. its ironic how guys think dance is sissy and gay but dance has so many girls that it would make sense for straight guys to flock to dance or choir
TILLY YAY
這兩少怎麼會有老夫老妻的感覺？ 😂
TILLY OMGG UR SO CUTEEE 💓💓
HI BETH
❤❤❤
One day you will understand why your mum did that. Latin dance will help you get more dates than lightsabers!
My poookie is up there . I LOVE U TILLY 🥰🥰
Even martial arts legend Bruce Lee was a chacha and ballroom dancer. Wondering if these 2 are interested in Martial arts
" I thought it was going to be a lightsaber class" "my mom lied to me" HEHEHEHEHEHE
Yyyaaaassss kpop
Lovely children learning a beautiful art. I'm a ballroom dancer too and shocked how many adults are ignorant about it, think it's like boozing it up in bar. However if I were their mothers I would not allow such sexy looking adult styles on the girls. It isn't necessary for kids.
Not lightsaber class 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“My mum lied to me” he sounded so betrayed-
😊😊👍👍🙏🙏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
