1:39 kills me, it's only 3 pirouettes but it's downright the best turn sequence i've seen all over youtube, dance moms, sytycd, you name it. i wanna learn to do that!
i'm alright with the turns, but i just don't understand how dancers can stop their turns like that. like many great turners, they seem to be able to stop turning "on command".
This choreography was very before its time. I remember the first time I watched this, back in 2011, I wasn't a fan of the choreography because I didn't think it was very conventional. It was very different from what I had seen before, and I was not used to it. Contemporary and movements of the body that could be considered strange are much more normalized now. Watching this solo again, during 2017, I absolutely love it. Fantastic choreography. Her emotion is so raw and authentic.
Proof that you can show emotion throughout your body movements and not just your face. Her face stayed blank and consistent the entire time but performed with maturity the dance moms girls have not ever gotten near to reaching.
I remember watching this video regularly like 10 years ago over and over again, as it expressed so well the emotions I was struggling to express myself at the time, and it was just so beautiful. The movements stayed with me, but I forgot the words of the song, the title of the video, name of the dancer. I just found it again today almost ten years later, and it's just as amazing as I remember it ❤
I'll never understand how the judges didn't put her through to the top 20 after making it to the final week twice. Most beautiful dancer I've ever seen
Megan doesn't need SYTYCD anymore. She's a professional dancer who's making her own path. If anything, she'll be a choreographer on the show one day. Her ability to seek out new movement patterns and shapes is incredible. Y'all better have watched not just this video of her, but all the videos of her dancing and her choreography to truly appreciate how insanely talented this artist is.
all these comments about how the audience is so annoying are soooo annoying… this is a competition the audience is supposed to be cheering her on. It adds so much moral support and (in my experience) actually helps performance. Its weird if your teammates arnt cheering you on from the wings😂
exactly.I would agree with the rest IF the audience kept making fun of her. But in this case the audience did good to cheer her up.Once when I was dancing with my friends at ballet (we were performing La Bayadere) one of the audience kept making fun of us and how we danced..
+Nicole Knox I guess it depends on where you live because in France for example (where I live), you are nor allowed to talk or to clap your hands before, during and after the performance.
@@noemiecalot6678 In Spain clapping or screaming on a prestigious dance competition is prohibited too, even when every dancer finish his choreography. It is called "respect" for art. It's not supposed to be a hiphop competition or cheerleading.
@@allyssawalker6524 I think you meant Us dance competitions. Look videos about Europe competitions of ballet, contemporary or jazz. There is a lot of respect for every dancer and for this art. This is what the dance needs. An audience who admires and respect the art. This screams don't make any favor to ruled dance. This is ridiculous!!!!
@@davedivodu Canada as well. We will clap if they do an impressive trick and cheer at the end of the routine with occasional cheers during the dance if it's a big hip hop number but other than that it's complete silence from the audience.
She is the best interpretor of this song with her body motions. She makes me feel the song. I watched a bunch of other videos of people dancing to this song but never finish watching any other but this particular one. Such a beautiful piece of artwork here!
Honestly, dancing isn't about how many turns you can do, or how high your leaps are, it's about how much feeling you put into the dance you are doing. This right here, is a perfect example of beautiful dancing. Megan, you are a beautiful, amazing dancer. Keep performing your art and someday, you truely will become known. :)
именно такую красивую хореографию я и пыталась найти под этот музыкальный трек. всё просмотренное раннее мной, под этот трек, было ниже качеством и уровнем профессионализма. браво!!
nobody thinks Maddie's the only great dancer dude. First of all this girl is prob in her late teens or early 20's by now. She's had alot more experience than her sure but she didnt get the exposure like maddie. So oh well, deal with it. Let maddie have her moment, she earned it.
You're not doing a very good job of supporting this dancer. Do not compare her to M.Z! This girl is a beautiful dancer *on her own*. By comparing her to a paid professional dancer you're opening her up to criticisms about how she "isn't as good". She's amazing and probably has more heart than many of the girls on that show anyway.
to me it looks like the soul dancing along side the dancer. letting the soul be free to move and remember when it was once human. I think this so sweet.
sincerely hope she comes back to SYTYCD this year and shows them they have made a HUGE mistake the past 2 times...the show is in dire need of her fire!!!!
The many things you shouldn't be able to do and the many ways you should not be able to move your body....and she nailed all of them. This is truly a beautiful piece of work.
I love this dance. Everytime it comes up on my suggested videos to watch I have to watch it! If I could like it more than once I totally would. Very remarkable.
Ottima personalizzazione in questo balletto che assume altresì una Valenza psicologica ed attuato secondo un ritmo anche interiore.Buona la cifra acrobatica ed ottima l'impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte della ballerina .OLTREMODO BRAVA.Bighin GIULIO RENZO
Yes, however, the teacher may not have wanted the dance to be named in this shirt and called it I am lost because that also works with the lyrics in the song and the emotion of the routine. But thank you anyways!
Is it crazy that I teared to this. Beautiful is not even the word to describe this. This is perfection. With every step, with every move, I can feel her emotion. Love love love.
I've probably seen and commented on this far too many times but its just SO GOOD. I literally smile ear to ear and don't even realize it until its over EVERY TIME I watch this. It's perfection. She is perfection. I wish I had an iota of her talent. KEEP KICKING @SS GIRL!
Absolutely appalled by the audience. Not only distracting to the dancer herself but to the rest of the audience as well as the judges. Quite annoying and unprofessional. Despite the audience shouting, she did stupendous.
Dance competitions are treated as a showcase. And if you've been to a showcase, you'd know that performing for a silent crowd is horrifying. There's nothing wrong with the audience cheering for the dancers when they're on stage.
I have competed in front of plenty silent crowds, and if you're as skilled as she is, it was most likely more distracting than anything. That's my take on it, but don't take it from me, I've been dancing and teaching dance for over 15 years...
I can't stand this piece. She is a phenomenal dancer but the choreography doesn't go with the music. She has a dance to "Hunter" by Bjork and I think that piece is fantastic, the moves go with the song and it just fits, but here some of the movements are just too bizarre for the song and it has no flow.
The fact that this is improvised never ceases to amaze me. Whenever people talk about the choreography I always feel the need to mention that this all came from her head. In the spur of the moment. Flawless.
I find it hard to believe that your nephew and niece can do even the slightest bit, of what this artist did, let alone yourself. I'm a dancer myself and I'm not embaressed to say this girl would out shine me in a heart beat. Megan you are an incredible artist, keep it up.
Totally Extraordinary!!! I was just captivated watching this performance! God keep on blessing you because you are an amazing expressive dancer! Thank you~
I love how she is actually DANCING!!!!!! It's beautiful! It's perfect! Shes a beast!!!! I love that turn she does where she falls, so much control! ^•^
my god this was such beautiful choreography as well as an amazing dancer who performed this so well I saw such passion in her every move I just fell in love with this 😍
1:39 kills me, it's only 3 pirouettes but it's downright the best turn sequence i've seen all over youtube, dance moms, sytycd, you name it. i wanna learn to do that!
to do it that well you need to practice spotting and you need to come up fast but turn gracefully.
i'm alright with the turns, but i just don't understand how dancers can stop their turns like that. like many great turners, they seem to be able to stop turning "on command".
+Joanne L You just have to let your legs do the work, and "go with the flow". ;)
+Joanne L I agree. Her control is just so incredible.
This choreography was very before its time. I remember the first time I watched this, back in 2011, I wasn't a fan of the choreography because I didn't think it was very conventional.

Watching this solo again, during 2017, I absolutely love it. Fantastic choreography. Her emotion is so raw and authentic.
This girl is not only a dancer, but an artist.
That turn at 1:38 BREAKS MY HEART, it is perfection. The style reminds me of Melanie Moore from SYTYCD. Beautiful and strange and deadly painful.
I 'm agree with you. Megan Branch and Mélanie Moore are wonderful dangers.
Just took her class today.. SHE IS FLAWLESS
I know it’s 6 years later but how is it now
Ashley Shepard sane lmao
So like...-
Does she still hold classes ?
One word. Passion. Pure passion. Can I get an amen?!
Amen
YASSS!
AMEN!
This dance was incredibly choreographed and even more incredibly performed.
When I watched this it brought me to tears you can see she danced with everything she has such a burning and inspiring passion and amazing technique
d ft tissue xds f h
same
Proof that you can show emotion throughout your body movements and not just your face. Her face stayed blank and consistent the entire time but performed with maturity the dance moms girls have not ever gotten near to reaching.
Janice Anne she moved to fast to even see her face most of the time though
Stop comparing little girls just stop

the only downside to this gorgeous performance was the crowd's ridiculous shouting
Welcome to dance competitions:)
Yea I feel yah being a dancer all the noise in the audience is blocked out for me but I can see where your coming from

as a dancer i personally find the cheering really motivating while i’m performing
but i can see why it would be annoying to others
She is the best interpretor of this song with her body motions. She makes me feel the song. I watched a bunch of other videos of people dancing to this song but never finish watching any other but this particular one. Such a beautiful piece of artwork here!
Waoh I felt chills watching this. That’s never happened before when I watch these type of dances. She did so god with showing emotion.
It's called "In this Shirt" by The Irrepressibles ;)
You're welcome!

Im lost in her dancing O.O just woah
Wow I love this kind of dance because you get to see the emotion through the dance and it's just beautiful
That pirouette into the ground... Just amazing
Love the way when she spins and then drops. Absolutely beautiful
perfect song, perfect choreography, perfect dancer. goosebumps.
whoa. all I can say is... whoa. talk about talent and dedication
Beautiful. You can really see the emotion and story of this dance. Well done. Bravo!
By far my favorite dancer on youtube. every movement she does is so real. That's what defines a great dancer.
Mesmerizing pointe. Beautiful technique. Overall perfection.
my foot ;_; it hurts
именно такую красивую хореографию я и пыталась найти под этот музыкальный трек. всё просмотренное раннее мной, под этот трек, было ниже качеством и уровнем профессионализма. браво!!
I wish I could dance like that! That was pure amazing!!
you made me cry..
wonderful!
PEOPLE MADDIE ZIEGLER IS NOT THE ONLY GREAT DANCER AND HERE IS THE PROOF
nobody thinks Maddie's the only great dancer dude. First of all this girl is prob in her late teens or early 20's by now. She's had alot more experience than her sure but she didnt get the exposure like maddie. So oh well, deal with it. Let maddie have her moment, she earned it.

Yes,the girl of the video is amazing!!!!!
tbh. maddie doesn't even make it in the top 5 best dancers! she is only famous because she was Abby's favorite.
Rose Beach If only those top 5 were worth over 2 million dollars... XD
This is the first dance video i've ever cried for! So beautiful!!!!!!!!
to me it looks like the soul dancing along side the dancer. letting the soul be free to move and remember when it was once human. I think this so sweet.
I absolutely love the pirouette at 1:38! Love!
sincerely hope she comes back to SYTYCD this year and shows them they have made a HUGE mistake the past 2 times...the show is in dire need of her fire!!!!
The many things you shouldn't be able to do and the many ways you should not be able to move your body....and she nailed all of them. This is truly a beautiful piece of work.
Out of all the choreography I have seen, this is the only piece that has pushed me into staying in the dance world.
wow 0:40 looks really REALLY painful :D
that literally gave me mad chills 😂 .
0:40 that foot walk lmao!!!!!!!
haha yassss
😂😂😂
I love this dance. Everytime it comes up on my suggested videos to watch I have to watch it! If I could like it more than once I totally would. Very remarkable.
2020 and I finally gound this video again
1.40 is a pure golden moment
at 1:42 tho omg ugggg i am dying now bye
Absolutely beautiful.
I've watched this video over and over I can't get enough, she moves so beautifully and uniquely I love it! I love this song she definitely owned it!
Some of y'all have never been to a competition 😂 they are supposed to be yelling like that!
2:17 gives me chills. Beautifully done.
Absolutely amazing! It was almost as if she was dancing in slow motion! I love it!!

The song is "In This Shirt" no i am lost...
thank you! I've been looking for this song!
dokuritssu it might be the name of the dance
Yes, however, the teacher may not have wanted the dance to be named in this shirt and called it I am lost because that also works with the lyrics in the song and the emotion of the routine. But thank you anyways!
OMG HER TOES AND ARCHES!!!
Is it crazy that I teared to this. Beautiful is not even the word to describe this. This is perfection. With every step, with every move, I can feel her emotion. Love love love.
It was very superb, her lines were beautiful unbelievably great. Chica
I want to know the judges notes so bad.
who sings this song
The irrepressibles
That was exquisite. Not only is that an artist, but a genius as well. Dance does not do justice to what that girl just did. Well done!
I've probably seen and commented on this far too many times but its just SO GOOD. I literally smile ear to ear and don't even realize it until its over EVERY TIME I watch this. It's perfection. She is perfection. I wish I had an iota of her talent. KEEP KICKING @SS GIRL!
Absolutely appalled by the audience. Not only distracting to the dancer herself but to the rest of the audience as well as the judges. Quite annoying and unprofessional. Despite the audience shouting, she did stupendous.
It was probably her teammates but I agree when people do that it's incredibly distracting to the dancer
Dancing in front of a silent crowd is the worst thing ever!!
Dance competitions are treated as a showcase. And if you've been to a showcase, you'd know that performing for a silent crowd is horrifying. There's nothing wrong with the audience cheering for the dancers when they're on stage.
^amen
I have competed in front of plenty silent crowds, and if you're as skilled as she is, it was most likely more distracting than anything. That's my take on it, but don't take it from me, I've been dancing and teaching dance for over 15 years...
really beautiful! but I hate that the people start to scream when she didn't finish!
I never get tired of watching her. amazing
Omg my eyes expanded . Such dedication .
Stupid people shouting while she dances. It anulates what she's trying to express! It is not acrobatics!!
I can't stand this piece. She is a phenomenal dancer but the choreography doesn't go with the music. She has a dance to "Hunter" by Bjork and I think that piece is fantastic, the moves go with the song and it just fits, but here some of the movements are just too bizarre for the song and it has no flow.
the most interesting dancer I've ever seen and SUCH a gorgeous, talented performer. Love this dance.
its scary and beautiful at the same time. I just love it ♥
The audience obviously doesn't know theatre etiquette. So annoying
La perfection... L'accord entre la musique, la choregraphie et la danseuse; j'en est chialé !
The fact that this is improvised never ceases to amaze me. Whenever people talk about the choreography I always feel the need to mention that this all came from her head. In the spur of the moment. Flawless.
this girl is honestly unreal !
Not even humanly possible to be this perfect. She's honestly pure perfection. Stunning.
Absolutely stunning! I totally felt the emotion
keep on going megan never stop dancing. Your talent shouldn't be put to waste.
TRUE talent & art!
She is amazing & so is this choreography!
AMAZING.
Hands down best choreographer award in my book!
So amazing and inspiring! I can't stop watching this.
I find it hard to believe that your nephew and niece can do even the slightest bit, of what this artist did, let alone yourself. I'm a dancer myself and I'm not embaressed to say this girl would out shine me in a heart beat.
Megan you are an incredible artist, keep it up.
this is so insanely amazing, i cant even. She has so much control in her movements I can’t even imagine how strong her core is. just WOW🤩
This is the definition of passion
I wish I didn't stop dancing because of the amount of school work... She is absolutely amazing and you can really feel that she loves it!
Ive watched this so many times
the way I literally keep watching this through the years since high school,, I’m about to graduate college aksjsks
Totally Extraordinary!!! I was just captivated watching this performance! God keep on blessing you because you are an amazing expressive dancer! Thank you~
I cannot stop watching this dance, it's that perfect!
The isolations are perfect. People saying this was short of amazing aren't educated in real dance as an art. This is amazing amazing amazing
Ohhh man I remember seeing her do this.... So amazing.
I love how she is actually DANCING!!!!!! It's beautiful! It's perfect! Shes a beast!!!! I love that turn she does where she falls, so much control! ^•^
Its like jazz, ballet, lyrical and poppin' and lockin' fused together! amazing she is going far..truly unique
i love the sort of awkward grace with which she starts the dance. truly beautiful piece
She was amazing on sytycd, & I am in love with this song!
I've watched this video so many times, I just love everything about it. She's amazing
Watching this makes me feel so emotional for some reason. There's a rawness to it, a vulnerability.
I love that walk on the front of her toes, it's so beautiful. She's amazing
You moved me to tears - amazing performance!
Watching the videos of this dancer inspires me to work hard to be a better dancer myself.
my god this was such beautiful choreography as well as an amazing dancer who performed this so well I saw such passion in her every move I just fell in love with this 😍
She makes in look like a dream, it doesn't look real when she dances, it's like it's supernatural and I can't look away...i'm at lost for words
I wish I could dance like that :o with so much fluidity, control, and emotion oh em gee. I'm so envious.
Watch my dance also like that😊
This blows my mind! Fantastic dancer and choreo!!
