I stretch every day day and night it takes 4 hours each day. I never stop dancing. Even when I’m hurt I find a way to keep up with out doing anything to hurt myself more. I always find new tricks to do. When people say that dance isn’t hard. I always tell them about my commitment. One year ago, I couldn’t do anything that I can know. If you want to be a contortionist you never get a brake. You have to love it. Sometimes people get mad at me because I am gifted with flexiblity. What they don’t understand is how hard it is to do everything. One person told me that I never try. I was gifted with flexiblity, but I couldn’t control it. I thought I was a righty because my sister was a righty and I was right handed. My leaps were awful and it looked like I had no potential. The only thing I had was porcefomence and improv. Those were the only things I was good at. My teachers just recognized that I was flexible in gymnastics class at my studio. I could do chest rolls and backbends like no one else. When I started watching dance moms I looked up to Brooke and Chloe. I wanted to have Brooks acro and Chloe’s technique. I started dancing for hours at a time. But then I was really hurt about what one of my classmates said. They told me I was the favorite and I didn’t try like some of us. She said that I was just flexible and that’s it. I am really tough so I just walked away that night I cried. No one recognized my hard work. Only three of my dance teachers did. I am very thankful for them.
As long as you know within yourself that you are doing your best, please be proud of yourself and forget what all the others are thinking. Your worth ethic and passion for dance is all that is important. The humble dancer always know they can improve and always works their hardest. As long as you know you are doing your best that you can in the moment, let all the other negative words go in one ear and out the other! Keep on Shining!
Love Originals DM that was really great and amazing keep up the good work and never give up on your dreams anything is possible if you just believe and try!!!!!
@@haleyhobbs3281 honey, Brooke was a loser back then and a loser now. She is not a dancer, does not have the body. Abby did crush her love for dance you are right about that though. Abby is too competitive only wanting her best dancer to dance all the time and that's Maddie. The world is cut throat. They were in competitions so I guess in the end Abigail was right to do what she did. I mean we don't put in Olympic wrestlers because we like them only b/c they are the best. Maddie had the whole package.
@@fuglygumsfugly1871 How old are you? 5. Why are you so rude? Ok you prefer and you are a fan of Maddie, but don't put everyone else down. The way Brooke is dancing is amazing. She is making everything look so easy. She has her own style and amazing flexibility. Something that Maddie doesn't have. Maddie has her own style and that is fine but also there are other people in this world who have talent and they are amazing dancers.
@@wowi93 so everyone is amazing? wow, okay, everyone is a great dancer? nope. Maddie is technically the best. What about the is so hateful to you? Nia is amazing too, right? Everyone on the planet is equality good to you. There should be no Olympic medals because its unfair because everyone is the same. sorry that's all bullshit. Maddie is the only good dancer of the bunch, the others are average and some are just poor. do you know the show didn't choose on the best dancers, you know that right? Do you know they cast the show based on mothers and drama. The producers didn't pick the best 5 dancers, they picked people who were interesting with family drama. the reality dearie is Maddie Ziegler is the most technical dancer with the best feet, best of it all. it is not fair to her to have to be brought down to the level of everyone else because you want everyone else to feel good. I sure hope the doctor who operates on you didn't come from a med school where everyone gets a degree no matter how well they do at their studies. lets think about that. Next time go to an average dentist because its not fair that you only go to the best ones. go to the worst restaurant in town and pay them double to make them feel good, and don't reward people who are naturally more gifted because its unfair.
Can you PLEASE check out my new video reacting to my favorite Sister, James Charles, and let me know what you think!?!? Thumbs up and leave a comment if you love James too! Stay Sparkly
The most amazing thing about Brooke is she made these really hard to do tricks look so effortless. She didn't look like she was trying to get the trick right it was just right.
@@JordanJSparks Wow, seriously Jordan, that's pretty nasty. because it added to the perception that she did not care, thanks for setting me straight. You're the only one I listen to. Love you
I always loved her legs some people will never have that beautiful line but she did even in her not best dances. You could just see her lack of passion in the show which was sad and often see she was in pain as she got older.
So weird coming across this video and to see how Brooke was portrayed on the show I never really watched Dance Moms but I go to the same college as Brooke and she's super nice!!
haha that's so cool. Brooke is awesome. Could you do me a huge favour and go give me new video a thumbs ups? It's me dancing to 'Happier'! Stay Sparkly!
Your so lucky! Brooke is my favorite and has always seemed to be sweet on the show. She is so Beautiful and Smart. Im glad she got off the show though because it put lots of stress on the girls. Wish her good luck in college and good luck to you too!!
Brooke gives me CHILLS whenever I watch her dance. Her and Paige were gifted and talented dancers. I feel like Brooke naturally faded out of dance when the show started as she wanted to do 'normal teenage things' and it surely didn't help that Abby was so awful to her. She was simply talented and gifted.
At the beginning of the video you could see that Brooke would smile and looked happy but at the end her faces were always sad and it looked like she was in pain, you could just tell that she was doing it for everyone else and not for herself

I know Brooke really wanted to be a Cirque acrobat, not a dancer necessarily. But after breaking her growth plate and I believe she had an undisclosed injury that prevented her from continuing an acro career. In a youtube video with her and Paige, Paige herself says Brooke would have wanted to be a Cirque de Sol performer, but for her back. Its Paige who gave up dance after the show.
Sometimes I wonder if Brooke has undiagnosed, 'Ehlers Danlos Syndrome'. She definitely has hyper flexibility; but she constantly complained about pain especially in her back. Her joints would come out sometimes. This goes undiagnosed so often especially in the dance and gymnastics world. When I hear her song, 'Hurt', to me that sounds like the story of a dancer with, 'Ehlers Danlos Syndrome'. I can relate to that story being that I was a dancer and I also have 'Ehlers Danlos Syndrome' as well as 'Lupus', 'Chronic Lyme Disease', and a few other tic born and autoimmune disorders. The pain involved with 'Ehlers Danlos Syndrome' as a dancer can definitely make someone not want to dance anymore. So can the emotional abuse she suffered while on the show.
I don’t know if Brooke does, but I have thought that possibly Sarah has Ehlers Danlos! She has the signature eyes and ears that lots of kids with Ehlers Danlos have. That could explain why Brooke was always in pain though
I definitely agree with that. Not everyone has the eye and ear thing, I don't. Sarah is very flexible and her hands are pretty classic for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome also.
Sarah Hunt. She has been on a few episodes. Her mom was named Christy; but they called her Christ-ty. Abby loved Sarah; but hated her mom. Sarah was also a long time student at ALDC.
Brooke was always my favourite. She kind of was the one who inspired me to take dancer seriously, I wanted to be just like her. I started stretching and learning acro tricks at about age 9 and danced for years. I've quit now and do cheerleading but I much prefer it to dance as I get to learn tumbling more and work on my flexibility and keep performing
I am actually one of those people that danced as a kid and is just picking up dance again. I started ballet class this year at 28 after not dancing for 15 years!
Now she’s triple majoring in college and will graduate early. She said she’s not into dance anymore but is grateful for her past and experiences. Brooke has done well for herself.
Brooke has so much talent I think she will be successful in whatever she decides to do in her life. I danced until I was 15 but a down hill skiing accident took me out.
I’m a advanced contortionist! I did dance when I was 3 and 4 and then I quit because I was intrigued by the sight of gymnastics. I did it for 5 years and quit because of many reasons. We would climb the ropes and I’d get deep cuts on my inner thighs. The teachers were very rude. One teacher told me that I should just give up and do dancing. I cried at the gym many times. I decided to quit and start getting back into dancing. For the first year I only did ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contortion, and tumbling. This year I’m doing ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, contortion, and tumbling. I’m very advanced at my studio and really enjoy dancing. At my house I have a studio and I dance in it for hours on end. I’m proud of my many accomplishments and skills I have learned.
@@sydneytucker6998 That's so cool! My friend Julija that I went to Musical Theatre school with just started doing Silks after we graduated and she is already really good!! You should check out her instagram if you have instagram!! Her name is flyingnerdgirl . If you check out her page tell her Jordan Sparks sent you there and it will make her day I'm sure lol.
Please do one for little Sarah. I really wanted them to let her be a regular. I understand that maybe she needed to break out of her shell and be independent; but I wish Abby would learn how to celebrate these kids as individuals and celebrate the things that make them each different and special. I think those things are what first makes someone amazing and special. If she really was a good teacher she would show what is specifically special about each person / child. Yes, teach the other stuff too. People become employed dancers for more than one reason.
There’s an episode on dance moms I feel brook was so much happier dancing with the seniors and she wasn’t as happy when she went back to dancing with the others
Brooke actually danced full time with the teen and senior company. She filmed with the juniors because they wanted all different styles for the cast (remember, the “ALDC elite team was only a team assembled by the producers for the show) and she was the only one who had the extreme acrobatics so they cast her and then cast Paige because they needed another girl and it was easy to have sets of sisters since Kelly and Brooke would always be there (because the parents had to be there while filming was going on).
I’m not too surprised about Brooke going into fashion because I’ve noticed on her instagram story, she’s been recommending this Accessory store. Btw I love Brooke too, and like you, she was my favorite since the first episode.
I feel like brooke really only did dance for hobby and just didn’t really care about winning like the others because she cared more about herself than impressing abby
I wish she had stayed w it, but she had a lot of back paine. She seems to be succeeding in other areas of life though instead. She seems happier, I think Abby broke her heart quite a bit awhile back.
yeah. It was the GET THOSE TRICKS AT ANY COST mentality. It causes extreme swayback, shortens the hamstrings, locks up the lower back and disengages the entire abdominals when you train this way.
I'm not sure what the training was ACTUALLY like at the ALDC, but by the looks of it, they saw TALENT in Brooke and pushed her to the brink of paralyzation. With Acrobatic and Contortion training, it can't be PUSHED on someone, they NEED to do like 4 hours of training and stretching EVERY . DAY. OF. THE. WEEK. And if they aren't, you can't get angry at them, you just can't expect them to do those tricks! or else they will injur themselves. This happens with sooo many young dancers these days unfortunately, because so much emphasis is put on hypermobility and these flexibility and contortion tricks in the Competition circuit, that they incur injuries by 12. When in reality, these tricks don't really book you any jobs! Unless you go work for Cirque Du Soleil lol. If you want to learn Tricks that will book you a Dance Job, learn a roundoff back handspring back tuck, or any of these new parkour style tricks, that's what they are putting in Musicals, TV and Music Videos these days.
Always love watching your videos, Jordan! I really enjoy listening to your commentaries. I'm not a dancer but I love watching dance and the constructive criticism and critiques you give the dancers are so interesting because I learn new things. I also have enjoyed learning about the dance moves too! Thank you for being a great dancer, choreographer, and TH-camr!
Your comment about auditions reminded me of a DVD commentary I saw. The actress was talking about the first movie role she got. During the audition she was paying a babysitter. As soon as the audition ended she rushed home. She got the role. Years later she asked the director why he cast her. He said when she went to leave she didn’t just turn, she literally did a “jump turn”. That stuck with him. That was the energy he wanted. She was just trying to get home so she didn’t have to pay the babysitter more. So she said she got her first movie role because she didn’t want to pay the babysitter for another hour. You never know what the other person sees.
same! Can you PLEASE check out my new video reacting to my favorite Sister, James Charles, and let me know what you think!?!? Thumbs up and leave a comment if you love James too! Stay Sparkly
i love brooke and i thought she was amazing, but i feel like her solo choreography was so repetitive every single time with the same moves and the same tricks
Firstly, you are so nice answering the comments, I feel so special 😂😂😂 Brook was my favourite while on the show, but I understand why she left the show... I've seen a lot of people in my musical theatre course getting special parts cause they knew some tricks. The best I can do is a cartwheel 😂
Right!?! When I was in Musical Theatre school this girl Maddy always got the special parts because she could do a roundoff back handspring back tuck... IN HEELS lol.
1. YES THIS IS THE CONTENT I KNEW YOU COULD DO YOU GET IT! 2. Brooke was has such a God given talent and I wish Abby didn’t squander it by the relationship she had with her mother. 3. I do think that Abby’s studio should have better technique because technique is still part of acro no one wants to see a chest stand with sickled feet or a needle with a bent leg I never considered Abby and acro teacher or the Aldc an acro studio I see he more focused on lyrical but hen dye does have flexible students she utilizes it. When I think of a studio that’s acro heavy I think of Club Dance ( I love club dance) Club dance is the type of studio where most girls can do a scorpion or a chest stand or something even watching club dances practices are mesmerizing. 4 again I love this content from you !!!!!
I made "les petits rats: in Pari's opera... but like Brooke it took me a long time to speak or to dance.. It reminds me so much hard time with my teacher.. Today I'm 32 years and i decided to take dance's lessons with a ballet teacher... And today i love to dance thanks to my teacher... But i lost my flexibility....
Brooke was my favorite. It hurt me to watch her have to do kiddy group dances. Her solos where so amazing and I felt so bad for her because as she said she loved to dance but Abby made her passion go away. She is obviously much happier now but I wish her and her sister went to a different studio and maybe she could have followed her dream of being in Circus Solie.
When he said about the triple fold in her back and I got really confused cause I did gymnastics since I was 3 and I could barely do a bridge 😂 but now I started dance when I was 12 and now I'm nearly 16 but I didn't know I could triple fold my back until about two years ago because I've never been flexible in my back. And I'm just really confused because now I'm becoming a contortionist and I was never bendy when I was younger
You probably just weren't as focused on your flexibility as a kid. I am the same way. I was never flexible as a kid and now I can do front and back limbers and I'm almost 30. But I didn't start really stretching my back until I was 19 other than doing a simple bridge when I Was a kid.
It all boils down to consistency! you are probably constantly using your flexibility all the time now! I think a big belief we hold our entire lives is that it is sooo hard to get flexible. But if we get rid of that belief, we will start to actively stretch and take it more seriously. Wishing you the best on your contortion journey!
Jordan Sparks my sister used to do acro and she can get in and out of a fold up chair so cool also point,tap,contemporary,and musical theater so awesome and I also did some dancing if I do say myself!!!
Hi Love!! Could you do me a huge favor and check out my new Music Video, and let me know what you think!?! Please don't be afraid to give it a thumbs up to show your support!! Love you so much! Stay Sparkly
I just stumbled across this video & I’m glad I did :) I like you. & also how your personality comes across ☺️ ... & yes I feel the same way as you about Shane (Shane we miss you!) 😂 #subscribed
Can you react to some allstar cheerleading please Some good teams are Cheer Athletics: Panthers Cheer Extreme Allstars: Senior Elite Top Gun Allstars: TGLC Prodigy Allstars: Midnight Top Gun Allstars: OO5 Rockstar Cheer: Beatles Unity Allstars: Ruby Cheersport: Great White Sharks Cheer Athletics: Cheetahs
You may be a dance coach but you're not a dance coach reacting to videos of Brook's dance evolution. There's no comments about her performance, technique or how she developed over time. Just some general comments and simple facts you can find online. Not sure if it got better towards the end but honestly got bored and only watched the first half.
Jordan Sparks Most reaction videos will pause the video as they critique rather than talking over it, because I agree, it’s annoying. I understand why you did that now, but then watching you watch the video becomes bit pointless. Maybe create your script around the videos. After you make a point, use the video to back it up.
Do Kelsey spencer next please she isn’t on TH-cam but she is on Facebook just type dance explosions port Augusta and she wears a lot of pink and Nike shorts she is really good she has blond ish orange ish hair and it’s long
I’m from Ohio I wasn’t aware Brooke goes to one of the biggest party schools in my state OU I considered going there but she’s expensive and not really good for what I wanted to major in. The fact that I have a chance of meeting her is so cool
ahah, yes! Luke Perry. I don't normally get that here on youtube, but i hear that EVERY SINGLE TIME IM ON SET. We actually work together on Riverdale frequently, he plays Archie's Father!
I stretch every day day and night it takes 4 hours each day. I never stop dancing. Even when I’m hurt I find a way to keep up with out doing anything to hurt myself more. I always find new tricks to do. When people say that dance isn’t hard. I always tell them about my commitment. One year ago, I couldn’t do anything that I can know. If you want to be a contortionist you never get a brake. You have to love it. Sometimes people get mad at me because I am gifted with flexiblity. What they don’t understand is how hard it is to do everything. One person told me that I never try. I was gifted with flexiblity, but I couldn’t control it. I thought I was a righty because my sister was a righty and I was right handed. My leaps were awful and it looked like I had no potential. The only thing I had was porcefomence and improv. Those were the only things I was good at. My teachers just recognized that I was flexible in gymnastics class at my studio. I could do chest rolls and backbends like no one else. When I started watching dance moms I looked up to Brooke and Chloe. I wanted to have Brooks acro and Chloe’s technique. I started dancing for hours at a time. But then I was really hurt about what one of my classmates said. They told me I was the favorite and I didn’t try like some of us. She said that I was just flexible and that’s it. I am really tough so I just walked away that night I cried. No one recognized my hard work. Only three of my dance teachers did. I am very thankful for them.
As long as you know within yourself that you are doing your best, please be proud of yourself and forget what all the others are thinking. Your worth ethic and passion for dance is all that is important. The humble dancer always know they can improve and always works their hardest. As long as you know you are doing your best that you can in the moment, let all the other negative words go in one ear and out the other! Keep on Shining!

Owlcitylove2001 Booboo500 thank you ❤️
I’ve always thought it’s not Brooke’s technique that really impressed me- it’s the fact that she made it look easy
yes! she makes the hand walks look so easy and all the acro tricks
I feel like Abby crushed her love for dance
She was an average dancer, thats the reality of it.
Maddie was actually good.
Sacramento Bee Maddie was good but the faces she made when she was younger were cringy and Brooke was a really good dancer

The most amazing thing about Brooke is she made these really hard to do tricks look so effortless. She didn't look like she was trying to get the trick right it was just right.
yes!!! she was so graceful
I blame the show's editing for people's mixed opinions on Brooke. I think it often made her seem uninterested, bratty, ungrateful and spoiled.
yeah and I heard she never even wanted to do cheerleading or anything, the show made her say that for the storyline
Why not blame Brooke? She quit to be a cheerleader. Brooke did all these things.
Sacramento Bee Brooke never actually quit to become a cheerleader . The show made that part up to create a storyline apparently

yeah. It was the GET THOSE TRICKS AT ANY COST mentality. It causes extreme swayback, shortens the hamstrings, locks up the lower back and disengages the entire abdominals when you train this way.
I'm not sure what the training was ACTUALLY like at the ALDC, but by the looks of it, they saw TALENT in Brooke and pushed her to the brink of paralyzation. With Acrobatic and Contortion training, it can't be PUSHED on someone, they NEED to do like 4 hours of training and stretching EVERY . DAY. OF. THE. WEEK. And if they aren't, you can't get angry at them, you just can't expect them to do those tricks! or else they will injur themselves. This happens with sooo many young dancers these days unfortunately, because so much emphasis is put on hypermobility and these flexibility and contortion tricks in the Competition circuit, that they incur injuries by 12. When in reality, these tricks don't really book you any jobs! Unless you go work for Cirque Du Soleil lol. If you want to learn Tricks that will book you a Dance Job, learn a roundoff back handspring back tuck, or any of these new parkour style tricks, that's what they are putting in Musicals, TV and Music Videos these days.
@@JordanJSparks thank you so much for sharing your knowledge w all of us!
Always love watching your videos, Jordan! I really enjoy listening to your commentaries. I'm not a dancer but I love watching dance and the constructive criticism and critiques you give the dancers are so interesting because I learn new things. I also have enjoyed learning about the dance moves too! Thank you for being a great dancer, choreographer, and TH-camr!
Dance moms inspired me so much to dance I’ve Danced since end of season 5 and I will continue to love it. Dance moms is my favorite show still!
Oooooh, how did you find out Abby Lee is an acro teacher and ALDC is an acro studio? 😯
She says it herself on the show
_+Jordan Sparks_ Ohhh okay, lol thanks didn’t pick up on that lol. 🙈
Thank you for your positivity. You are a ray of sunshine on TH-cam with its abundance of very negative dance related videos.
awe you're so sweet. thank you so much
Your comment about auditions reminded me of a DVD commentary I saw. The actress was talking about the first movie role she got. During the audition she was paying a babysitter. As soon as the audition ended she rushed home. She got the role. Years later she asked the director why he cast her. He said when she went to leave she didn’t just turn, she literally did a “jump turn”. That stuck with him. That was the energy he wanted. She was just trying to get home so she didn’t have to pay the babysitter more. So she said she got her first movie role because she didn’t want to pay the babysitter for another hour. You never know what the other person sees.
that's a cool story!
Brooke was always my favorite also! She truly was amazing!
same!
Can you PLEASE check out my new video reacting to my favorite Sister, James Charles, and let me know what you think!?!? Thumbs up and leave a comment if you love James too! Stay Sparkly
Her solo for THE ANIMALS KNOW is moving and beautiful
one of my favorites of all time .
She does keep up with stretching and she is still really flexible, she put a video up on her TikTok about it
yes I saw that yesterday!! I was happy to see that.
Love her!
I always thought Brook and Kalani have the most beautiful toe points.
yes!
I guess let’s call it acro lee dance company? 🤷♀️
i love brooke and i thought she was amazing, but i feel like her solo choreography was so repetitive every single time with the same moves and the same tricks
izzy adderley xó thanks to Abbey
Firstly, you are so nice answering the comments, I feel so special 😂😂😂
Brook was my favourite while on the show, but I understand why she left the show...
I've seen a lot of people in my musical theatre course getting special parts cause they knew some tricks. The best I can do is a cartwheel 😂
Right!?! When I was in Musical Theatre school this girl Maddy always got the special parts because she could do a roundoff back handspring back tuck... IN HEELS lol.
Do Asia money ray dance evolution
*Monet
Brooke looked outstanding season 3 the pin up girl dance
1. YES THIS IS THE CONTENT I KNEW YOU COULD DO YOU GET IT!
2. Brooke was has such a God given talent and I wish Abby didn’t squander it by the relationship she had with her mother.
3. I do think that Abby’s studio should have better technique because technique is still part of acro no one wants to see a chest stand with sickled feet or a needle with a bent leg
I never considered Abby and acro teacher or the Aldc an acro studio I see he more focused on lyrical but hen dye does have flexible students she utilizes it. When I think of a studio that’s acro heavy I think of Club Dance ( I love club dance) Club dance is the type of studio where most girls can do a scorpion or a chest stand or something even watching club dances practices are mesmerizing.
4 again I love this content from you !!!!!
I made "les petits rats: in Pari's opera... but like Brooke it took me a long time to speak or to dance.. It reminds me so much hard time with my teacher.. Today I'm 32 years and i decided to take dance's lessons with a ballet teacher... And today i love to dance thanks to my teacher... But i lost my flexibility....
Brooke was my favorite. It hurt me to watch her have to do kiddy group dances. Her solos where so amazing and I felt so bad for her because as she said she loved to dance but Abby made her passion go away. She is obviously much happier now but I wish her and her sister went to a different studio and maybe she could have followed her dream of being in Circus Solie.
Actually when Brooke was on dance moms she was one of my favorites!
Jordan is such a MOOD
hahah best comment
You should react to a video of the irreplaceable dances! I’d be interested so see what a dance teacher thinks since there is so much hate around it!
My back is really flexible and legs to and I like to stretch every Day
always look forward to your videos! you are so underrated! Omg that was me last night watching ghost videos and not sleeping
i wish we had seen more lyrical or contemporary solos for brooke :/
Love her,how is she overrated,she's wonderful
When he said about the triple fold in her back and I got really confused cause I did gymnastics since I was 3 and I could barely do a bridge 😂 but now I started dance when I was 12 and now I'm nearly 16 but I didn't know I could triple fold my back until about two years ago because I've never been flexible in my back. And I'm just really confused because now I'm becoming a contortionist and I was never bendy when I was younger
You probably just weren't as focused on your flexibility as a kid. I am the same way. I was never flexible as a kid and now I can do front and back limbers and I'm almost 30. But I didn't start really stretching my back until I was 19 other than doing a simple bridge when I Was a kid.
@@JordanJSparks that makes sense, I just didnt get how I found it so much harder then than how I do now
It all boils down to consistency! you are probably constantly using your flexibility all the time now! I think a big belief we hold our entire lives is that it is sooo hard to get flexible. But if we get rid of that belief, we will start to actively stretch and take it more seriously. Wishing you the best on your contortion journey!
BROOKE will forever be my favourite and what show were you watching on Netflix because I need a new show to watch
I don't even remember lol

React to Asia Monet Ray dance evolution
You may be a dance coach but you're not a dance coach reacting to videos of Brook's dance evolution. There's no comments about her performance, technique or how she developed over time. Just some general comments and simple facts you can find online. Not sure if it got better towards the end but honestly got bored and only watched the first half.
lol it's cause everyone was hating on my other videos for actually reacting while the video was playing so I saved the critiques for the end
Jordan Sparks Most reaction videos will pause the video as they critique rather than talking over it, because I agree, it’s annoying. I understand why you did that now, but then watching you watch the video becomes bit pointless. Maybe create your script around the videos. After you make a point, use the video to back it up.
I LOVE DANCE MOMS
You should react to sofie dossi
Do Kelsey spencer next please she isn’t on TH-cam but she is on Facebook just type dance explosions port Augusta and she wears a lot of pink and Nike shorts she is really good she has blond ish orange ish hair and it’s long

First View and comment!
Love your vids!
I’m from Ohio I wasn’t aware Brooke goes to one of the biggest party schools in my state OU I considered going there but she’s expensive and not really good for what I wanted to major in. The fact that I have a chance of meeting her is so cool
.50 you look just like the heartthrob on Beverly Hills 90210
ahah, yes! Luke Perry. I don't normally get that here on youtube, but i hear that EVERY SINGLE TIME IM ON SET. We actually work together on Riverdale frequently, he plays Archie's Father!
