I don't think people realize how hard it is to dance with a music without a particular beat. She was amazing and her musicality was over the top, like always, hands down.
Yamarie Ortiz Yeah I know Tate Mcrae and she is really amazing, but I don't think that Sophia lacks emotion, she just shows her passion without animating her face too much in my opinion. But Tate's facial expressions are truly gorgeous.
She is no doubt one of the best dancers out there. Her technique, control, skill level, fluidity, artistry, flexibility and performance skills are out of this world!
I think they just mean that there is not a lot of entertainment value in the solo. And that’s exactly why competition dancers similar to Sophia, end up retiring or becoming teachers (or ballerinas with all that technique) whereas kids that are trained to entertain and tell a story, like some of the kids from dance moms, go on to entertain potentially millions for the rest of their lives.
wish everyone would try to see the artistry behind this choreography. you would realize it was brilliant if you weren't scrolled down typing up your hateful comment about how there aren't enough tricks
During some instrumental dance solos It bores the shit out of me but with Sophia I don't even care if there's no sound at all, I could watch her for hours:)
I think is ironic that people were always hating on her other solos because their were to many turns and tricks and now their hating on this for being to boring? Seriously
+Tria Lynn Not all dancers want to stick to one style, and why should they have to. Being diverse makes you more employable. Dancing is about passion, not just skill, practice and perfection. Also, she's still very young and has many years ahead of her to refine her talent in a multitude of styles. I think we can all agree her hard work is paying off.
+xBeautiful Dancers I for one love sophia lucia but in this dance she did do some tricks as well as dance but i think that one thing that made it boring was the song, there was no change or climax that made it exciting
Love it, totally captivating. Slow yes, but the speed emphasized completely all the flexibility and control Lucia has over every single one of her movements. The speed was perfect imo, and when there would be a fast move added in, it added that little something to make this dance breathtaking.
Personal taste is one thing, but people who think solos like these don't showcase Sophia's abilities should learn a thing or two about the technique, control, flexibility, and artistry required to make this look as stunning and effortless as she did... She's more than the pirouette girl (not that her turns are anything to scoff at).
Absolutely stunning. She has really matured as a dancer and this proves it. I would have killed for her technique,poise,fluidity and sheer talent. Just perfect
Can we take a moment to appreciate not just a certain moment of this solo, but the whole thing? This isn't boring at all. The people saying that clearly are not dancers. This solo was absolutely stunning and she was quite actually perfect. Her control, lines, technique, and fluidity here was absolutely breathtaking..
So many people are saying that this is a boring solo and that her other solos were more interesting when she was 10-11 I find this unfair on sophia. 1. It's not her fault if you don't like the choreography. 2. She dances this style so well with so much control and artistry. 3. She has grown out of her old style of dance and Grown into this beautiful contemporary that not many can execute with so much grace and fluidity. Yes this is the style of dance that seems like everybody is dancing but I personally think that sophia is by far the best at it. She is such an all round dancer and that's defiantly not a bad thing, so stop hating.
Sorry. But i think Kalani did better than Sophia this year. Sophia is lacking emotion. Just good lines and technic. No conection what so ever with the audience. Kalani has both. She is terrific.
Mesmerizing. People who have never danced often do not realize how much more difficult it is to perform slower, sustained movements compared to flashier, fast sequences. This whole performance was like one long, slow breath.
Did anyone else notice how at 0:48 Sophia kicked her leg up & stumbled but turned it Into a parda buree? I have watched this dance so many times but only just picked up on it! I'm not hating on Sophia, infact she is my number 1 dance idol & I think she did amazing in this but I just noticed it is all I'm saying! Amazing job Soph!!
I am a dancer so I know what it is like to be diverse. It is extremely important that dancers are diverse in all kinds of different styles of dance. Sticking to one style of dance is not going to help. What happens when you go to a workshop and they want you to do hip hop but you only do ballet? It is okay to focus on your style but it is also important to work with other styles as well. Sophia is getting older, so lyrical will not always cut for her. Contemporary is a very mature style of dance which is what she seems to be working on and what all pre teen, teen, and adult dancers should work on. I agree that Sophia is an amazing dancer for her age, along with Kalani, Tate, Brynn, so on and so forth, but no dancer is perfect. That is why all dancers have dance practice!
Jayde Anna-May I’m not a dancer at all but I’ve watched dancemoms since 2013. 🤣 but Sophia really has a gift. dancemom stans may say she shows no emotions compared to Maddie or kalani but they their dances differ so much. Sophia is able to dance even to this boring music but still leave me speechless. If it was a dancemom dancer they probably wouldn’t be able to dance to this type of music not because they aren’t great dancers but because they are different. But Sophia can pretty much dance to any music out there.
You guys do realise she's only 13 right? With that kind of physical facility and innate talent, can you imagine the lengths she's going to go as a 23, 33 year old! Breathtaking.
Amazing as always Sophie , but this solo to me was boring, her technique and control was amazing but I feel like everyone is doing this type of style, I know it not her fault and this style win but omg its becoming played out. But perfection as always Sophie.
+shania young I kind of agree. Not a fan of the style, but when you put it in context with the music and leopard leotard, it becomes so much better. It's like a story then. I don't know how to explain it.
I guess this is where competition contemporary is going. Much more substantial than jumps, turns and acro tricks. Tate was pretty much the same style when she won in NYC this July.
It's only boring to Non-dancers because all they care about is fancy tricks and something moving; this is gorgeous choreography, and judges/professional dancers would love it.
"fancy tricks and something moving" What does this even mean? This solo was not entertaining *to me*. If you liked it good for you but keep your pretentious remarks to yourself
She definitely has emotion! She shows emotion in her face, it's very suddle and not over done and she also emotes through her body and movements which is very hard to do.
Absolutely wonderful, and without a rhythm, or beat for timing !? I think brynn has better extension though . Brynn should be in ballet, and sophia modern !
THE LEG BONE IS CONECTED TO THE HIP BONE" HOW DO SHE DO IT ? Over and over again, as she dances, the head of Sophia's femur (thigh bone) moves in ways with her hip bone ( illium ) that almost seem impossible 1:48 Hours, and hours, and hours of stretching made it possible to move in those near superhuman ways. www.infinitelooper.com/?v=i0Qz3rD4rM0&p=n When Sophia told the members of the Dance Moms team that she was home schooled to provide extra hours that ( Discussion Continued At "READ MORE Below ) hours that she could use to stretch every day, they were stunned. As we meet Sophia's family, as she takes us on a tour of her home (Named The Hermitage) we realize the key to Sophia's success is not a personal, but rather, a family trait.

nielle 22 why is it wrong for people to like Maddie better than Sophia. In the comments alone I can tell you don’t appreciate how hard she works. Sure, we know that there ARE better dancers who are just exquisite and lovely to watch, but that doesn’t mean Maddie isn’t great. She’s making certain things her own and that alone at a young age should be applauded. You can appreciate one dancer without bringing down another 🙃
Yamarie Ortiz this wasn’t supposed to be a “woo” solo like what the younger girls would dance too. but a piece that made people speechless and lost for words. it’s a piece of art a senior would do.
+jeanne kikolo I'd agree to that Sophia is still the best IMHO but Tate is Perfection. Brynn is a significant step behind these two but makes up for lack of experience with spellbinding grace. Kalani is a very fine dancer but I wouldn't put her in the category with these three - she is a good bit older and should be compared to others in her age.
+Rea Koukaki I would take this over both wistfull and enter one and I love enter one. Sophia is two years younger and even now is a far better dancer than Kalani IMO. Kalani is a great dancer but Sophia is freakishly exceptional. I've seen many dancers like Kalani all top of their game - I've never seen anyone like Sophia - she is literally a rarity.
i love her dancing i love her style! its not that sweet lovable that contemporary dancers use. Sophia dances are usely eerie and a mystery and a little dark and i love it!
I don't think people realize how hard it is to dance with a music without a particular beat. She was amazing and her musicality was over the top, like always, hands down.
Yet, she lacks emotion. It came out plane. Watch for Tate. That is truly great!
Yamarie Ortiz Yeah I know Tate Mcrae and she is really amazing, but I don't think that Sophia lacks emotion, she just shows her passion without animating her face too much in my opinion. But Tate's facial expressions are truly gorgeous.
@ Yamarie Ortiz: *plain. And you want emotion? She definitely has it. Watch her duet called "The Path".
She is no doubt one of the best dancers out there. Her technique, control, skill level, fluidity, artistry, flexibility and performance skills are out of this world!
Her movements were so fluid, it really puts you in a trance.
to everyone who is saying this is boring, that's because your dance education is dance moms.
I think they just mean that there is not a lot of entertainment value in the solo. And that’s exactly why competition dancers similar to Sophia, end up retiring or becoming teachers (or ballerinas with all that technique) whereas kids that are trained to entertain and tell a story, like some of the kids from dance moms, go on to entertain potentially millions for the rest of their lives.
@@jessicajoerndt428 like who? They are only actresses at this point and Sophia was as well..

+xBeautiful Dancers I for one love sophia lucia but in this dance she did do some tricks as well as dance but i think that one thing that made it boring was the song, there was no change or climax that made it exciting
+xBeautiful Dancers no offense but this dance is kinda boring BUT her moves and technique are exquisite
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate 0:31
Yes she can and she is better than Chloe
+Alessandra Moncada most dancers are..
What do you mean
Sophia is better than kalani
Sophia is so much better in tecnique and better in ballet at least Sophia can do turn in pointe shoes
yasss! Woah, she didn't even turn!!
Love it, totally captivating. Slow yes, but the speed emphasized completely all the flexibility and control Lucia has over every single one of her movements. The speed was perfect imo, and when there would be a fast move added in, it added that little something to make this dance breathtaking.
Beautiful such raw talent
so controlled. stunning.
Personal taste is one thing, but people who think solos like these don't showcase Sophia's abilities should learn a thing or two about the technique, control, flexibility, and artistry required to make this look as stunning and effortless as she did... She's more than the pirouette girl (not that her turns are anything to scoff at).
This is stunning, your dancing is so spectacular that you don't need a big soundtrack only your dancing.
when they say maddie has the best technique and sophia proves them wrong
No one in the dance industry says that 😂
But deluded Maddie fans preach it like a sermon.
I like Maddie but no one says that lmao
@@rsuda2499 all the Maddie's fandom is saying that... I'm in the comments of a same video for hours showing them evidence that they are wrong
Some dancer's complete move's and then you have some that push the boundaries of control and grace. Absolutely beautiful.
i love the creativity on creating shapes and interesting lines
Absolutely stunning. She has really matured as a dancer and this proves it. I would have killed for her technique,poise,fluidity and sheer talent. Just perfect

Her control is amazing!!❤️
she dancing so mature ,this feels like a senior level

the strength, technique, control, and skill that she puts into her craft to make look effortless, fluid and beautiful. i just can't
sophia just has this special talent where you can't let your eyes off of her her dancing drags your attention
This is where Kalani could've been had she not joined the ALDC. That studio sucks up all of the kid's talent and smashes it all onto Maddie.
same
+Jennifer Huang Thats not entirely true. Kalani still can do this but she also wasn't progressing at clubdance.
Sorry. But i think Kalani did better than Sophia this year. Sophia is lacking emotion. Just good lines and technic. No conection what so ever with the audience. Kalani has both. She is terrific.
This "studio" makes stars and more and more dancers are joining the aldc ( dance Moms ) so shut up
Funny you say that. Kalani has been a part of beat squad and a guest of this for a number of years including this one
It's absolutely ridiculous how she's this good.
Her technique is absolutely flawless!
She is so strong. Beautiful.
Mesmerizing. People who have never danced often do not realize how much more difficult it is to perform slower, sustained movements compared to flashier, fast sequences. This whole performance was like one long, slow breath.
she just chills on one tippy toe for like an hour im just so impressed
Did anyone else notice how at 0:48 Sophia kicked her leg up & stumbled but turned it Into a parda buree? I have watched this dance so many times but only just picked up on it! I'm not hating on Sophia, infact she is my number 1 dance idol & I think she did amazing in this but I just noticed it is all I'm saying! Amazing job Soph!!
Beautiful, this is why you should continue your dance training even after you become popular in the public eye.

i guess most of the people watching this aren't dancers and thats why they find this boring 😂
I'm not a dancer and i think watching disney shows are boring compared to this lmao
+Jayde Anna-May Beyond true; and majority of them probably watch Dance moms. -______-
snowfall221 true asf

Love how she is maturing.
Perfection.
She's so good omg
Brooke Milazzo a
ah yes I was obsessed then and I'm obsessed now😂
Amazing as always Sophie , but this solo to me was boring, her technique and control was amazing but I feel like everyone is doing this type of style, I know it not her fault and this style win but omg its becoming played out. But perfection as always Sophie.
+shania young I kind of agree. Not a fan of the style, but when you put it in context with the music and leopard leotard, it becomes so much better. It's like a story then. I don't know how to explain it.
wonderful!!!!
the song is cool!!!
Can i get a kalani and sophia duet pleaseee
I guess this is where competition contemporary is going. Much more substantial than jumps, turns and acro tricks. Tate was pretty much the same style when she won in NYC this July.
Hypnotic
I wonder if Sophia would've stayed on Dance moms, would she be this good?
Perfect :D
What does it mean by Dancer Palooza Beat Squad performance?
Omg I didn’t expect her to not do any turns
Hey balance is so good! I thought she was going to fall at 00:31
Shes better than Maddie Ziegler
How am i putting her down and sophia has better technique than her idc if u dont like it or not u dumbass
+I luv Maddie i love maddie but im telling the truth and she not gonna read it anyways
+I luv Maddie everyone is titled to there opinion so if i think that then I do
👍
the comment section is wayy more interesting than the solo...almost put me to sleep
+cice0143 Well then you're no dancer.
snowfall221 So? from a non-dancer's POV, this solo was boring; i was not entertained at all
It's only boring to Non-dancers because all they care about is fancy tricks and something moving; this is gorgeous choreography, and judges/professional dancers would love it.
cice0143 I am a non dancer and this solo was very entertaining. It is like moving poetry!
"fancy tricks and something moving" What does this even mean? This solo was not entertaining *to me*. If you liked it good for you but keep your pretentious remarks to yourself
I miss the style of her old solos.
She's getting older, so she has to do more mature styles
I don't get how a thousand leg holds are less repetitive than her old solos
She looks so grown up. She's starting to fill out a bit and be less skinny.
Song?
And Brynn please!!
Nice lines, nice moves, great control... where's the feelings, emotions (choreography ? transitions ? )
She definitely has emotion! She shows emotion in her face, it's very suddle and not over done and she also emotes through her body and movements which is very hard to do.
She looks stunning but wouldn't u say this is more Kalani hillker
Absolutely wonderful, and without a rhythm, or beat for timing !? I think brynn has better extension though . Brynn should be in ballet, and sophia modern !
Is there a name for this solo?
Emilie Hunt Florid
Can you get jojo! And Taylor
I wish I could do the move at 1:08
1:11😮

No doubt about it she us at least top 5 amazing kid dancers but this solo wasn't what I've seen her do...😞😒💁
+Jailahcee She's becoming a mature dancer, therefore needs to mature in Choreography.
Sorry... just mop. Since she has become a classic ballet dancer.... she is kind of lacking that it factor that makes her woo! The audience. Just mop
I really think it is just this solo. Watch her other recent solos or duets with a Jack Beckham. I suggest "The Path"
The solo wasn't suppose to be "woo!" It was suppose to show her control and technique.

well...technically she is not as good as Brynn or Kalani....
