Watching this makes me so happy and at the same time breaks my heart. You can just tell she was having the time of her life, and that passion was destroyed by Abby
I totally get why Abby loved her so much! If her passion hadn't died and she didnt sustain a major injury she would have been absolutely incredible. Such a good solo!
Honestly those injuries are all Abbys fault. She didn’t teach Brooke how to properly do her tricks which led to REALLY bad injuries. It really proves Abby is only good with minis, because minis won’t be judged as harshly as a teenager is on technique.
I can see what Abby meant by "You make it look easy"! She looked so happy here, and every trick she did looked like she did it with such ease and grace. Great job Brooke! I know this is a old video but still..
She looks so happy here, it's crazy. And her ballet steps were great. It's good to see brooke dancing before she lost her passion and also a little bit sad. She did amazing and her facials 😍😍
@@evelingmickelinggonzalez1860 We all get the dance is Acro but if you didn’t look closely she did a few ballet steps onto her feet she did fifth position & second position don’t second second guess someone who is right.
Watching this and never neverland makes me wonder where she’d be if Abby didn’t destroy her passion and actually conditioned her properly to avoid injuries like the issues she had in season 2. Her facials, tricks, etc. were probably the best we (as fans) have ever seen her perform!
I think she would have quit anyway. Very common for a whole bunch of kids to quit around that age when they discover new things and the activity becomes less fun and games and much more serious hard work
1:35 watching this particular sequence I can’t help but see so many similarities between younger Brooke and Maddie. It makes sense how Abby saw so much potential in Brooke and how she was her favorite for so long..
it's honestly sad that brooke and maddie got burnt out they both could've gone to dance professionally i'm still happy for them and their current careers but they had so much potential when they were young
She's built exactly like Paige here, and this reminds me so much of the types of solos Paige did! I have a feeling once Abby lost her love for Brooke, Paige (the second born) was her main priority. Until Maddie joined the competition team.
okay seeing this I can DEFINITELY see how the growth plate injury affected her! She was built JUST like Paige! You would have expected her to grow up to be tall lanky. Not a foot shorter than her sister!
its sad to me because brooke is insecure about her height and her body. This could have been prevented if brooke had done proper warm up and rest days.
Something about the way she smiles in this solo warms my heart. But as the show began you could really tell Abby’s attitude took a toll on her. She wanted to do cheer (which most highschool girls do), then she wanted to sing (not to mention she literally made a song called I hurt), and now she doesn’t dance. Most of the girls don’t dance anymore but that was because they were burned out at such a young age. I hope Brooke and the rest of the girls are recovering from all that trauma.
Oh how the look of love and passion burned in her eyes, the way she loved and enjoyed what she was doing and brought out the best in her- it breaks my heart she lost her passion for this, because of the traumas she was caused
Loved the costume, And the choreography. She’s an amazing dancer, I wish she never went to Abby’s studio.Her facials and everything is on pointe I loveee it ❤
@@Jk_hbngfvg yes and their point is she was obviously capable of doing doing the facials. Rehearsed or not, it’s very hard to keep facials through out a routine and Abby made it seem like she was never able to do that.
This is now one of my favorite solos from her. I love the costume! I don’t know why, but I can’t help to feel sad. She seemed so happy here. I can’t really blame her for losing a lot of the passion she had for dance though.
Brooke was and always will be my favorite girl from Dance Moms of all time. Every time I watch her solos from before the show, I feel this bitter sweet feeling because I’m so happy that she looked so confident and happy while performing but at the same time, it’s heartbreaking to know that the show sucked out all of her passion for dance. The bright side is that she is an adult now and doing much better in life. I follow her on social media and she seems really happy so go Brooke! #FanOfBrookeHylandForever ❤
You can tell she was not faking a smile and she was smiling because she was having fun. This is why she used to be Abbys fav, if she didn't loose passion I bet she would've still be the fav.
Omg I’ve never seen Brooke so little!! She’s so cute. While it makes me happy to see her have fun here and see her passion, I honestly think that Brooke would’ve quite dance anyway even without Dance Moms. You could see from the first episode that Brooke was already starting to lose her passion due to wanting to explore other things like cheerleading and then she was (semi) forced to dance every week making it even more of a chore for her. So, while I would’ve loved for Brooke to keep dancing because she had real talent for it, I’m glad that she’s doing what she loves now and is less stressed.
Brook was so good , this is one of the best solos ever done by the girls, according to me . Her face was everything and the passion in each move not to mention all the acrobatic skills
This solo was so good!! You could feel she genuinely was happy here, once dance moms started you could tell she wasn’t happy and whenever she was on stage her smile was fake. It makes me so sad :( I also feel like the fact that Brooke had to dance with girls many years younger than her made it so that she wasn’t really challenged enough and didn’t improve during the show.
I was so sad but happy watching this solo. Seeing Brooke so happy made me cry tears of joy. Abby took her passion. Simple as that. You can't say it any other way than that.
She looks so much happier when she was younger and not on dance moms and had great facial expressions. Also it’s so weird that she did so much acro and I think that’s why she was hurt in dance moms.
Brooke was like, a glaze in the wind. Honestly Brooke was a amazing dancer, abby had the right to make her the favorite for a while. Shes absolutely incredible on what she does.
Honestly, kenzie and lilly just really remind me of brooke - like we can tell that abby really did miss her former favourite student. But I feel like Brooke regressed during her time on dance moms, well maybe because she didn't want to dance with the minis. She was 13 dancing with 6-10 year olds like I'd be miserable too! Anyways I'm just looking at her solos before the show too see how good she was, and she looked really happy in solos like Swinging on a Star and Never Neverland - they were truly memorable. Lilly's press handstands and the fact the she was also a contortionist reminds me of Brooke, Kenzie's tumbling reminded me of Brooke too but I really want to see if she could do an aerial step-out (if that's the name) where brooke would land on one leg. She looked like she was having the time of her life doing this solo, that really makes me miss her old solos - she wouldn't force a smile or have the same moves repeated in all her 18 solos on dance moms, maybe I'd she had solos like Kalani's she would have improved and if she didn't keep doing contortion and acro she wouldn't have quit since the reason she probably stopped dancing was because she had so many injuries. Well, Brooke is growing up. She's moving to greater things, she's 24, she's already been pass this. She would've improved in the Senior Company or in another studio. - Dance moms fan.
The smile on her face through the whole dance, you can tell it wasn’t acting, she looked like she was having so much fun instead of dancing with all cameras everywhere!
so sad. she was so good here. She was always good, but this looks like a genuine smile with other great facials, and on the show it was ALWAYS a forced unnatural looking smile, and she always looked like she was struggling and in pain. I can't even watch her solos from the show because they're so boring and painful looking, and I've watched this like 3 times now, and it is so cute and entertaining. Maybe this type of dancing just isn't for older kids. I don't know, but It's sad to see how happy she was here and how miserable she looked on the show always.
I can understand Kelly's flashes of anger in the show that seemed misplaced/over the top now. Being stuck in that contract and the rigor the ALDC required prevented brooke from having a good HS/dance life balance and destroyed her passion
@@JordanJSparks doesn’t Brooke have those types of legs where they never fully straighten or is she actually not stretching her knees? I noticed she doesn’t it in a la second turn sequences in group dances as well.
ETA: whoops. I meant for this to go with a more lyrical solo I just watched. I’ll post it there, too, just don’t’ want y’all to wonder if I’m entirely crazy. Brooke was so much more than a mere contortionist or acrobat. The lightness with which she dances here, her fluidity, the way she dances with her entire body, and how, when she does aerials, step outs, leaps, etc., her gorgeous lines, turnout, toe/foot point, make it appear as if her legs are a mile long. If she needed time to heal an injury, and if in that time she lost some of the flexibility that the vast majority of dancers lose by, say, age 10, if they ever had it at all, who cares? Take out the acro tricks and there was STILL SO MUCH JOY AND BEAUTY IN HER DANCING. Here it’s 2023, I have absolutely no connection to the Hyland family or any of the people associated with Dance Moms, and seeing Brooke dance like this, and knowing what happened later, makes my heart ache.
You can see as she’s got deeper into Abby’s life how the passion in her eyes died.But Brook did amazing in all of her dances.it just shows how just one person can ruin the passion and want to learn.
Interesting that one of Abby’s lines on the show was “you can’t give her anything new, you just have to recycle the same crap she’s been doing since she was 8”.. definitely boxed Brooke in as an acro dancer and never knew how to develop her further
This gave me chills. She was so happy. She looked so free and joyful as she danced. Just goes to show how being bullied can extinguish the passion in a child and rob them of what could've been an amazing career. At least Brooke is happy and successful now, despite how traumatized she was by Abby. It's incredible to me how all the OGs have made such wonderful lives for themselves, despite all the pain and trauma they endured for so long. 💙
Lyrics from the song!! Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a mule? A mule is an animal with long, funny ears He kicks up at anything he hears His back is brawny and his brain is weak He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak And by the way, If you hate to go to school Sh! You may grow up to be a mule! Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are! Or would you like to be a fish? A fish is an animal who swims in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish Or would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are? And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Everyday you see quite a few So you see, it's all up to you You could be better than you are! You could be swingin' on a star You could be swingin' on a star! You could be swingin' on a star You could be swingin' on a star You could be swingin' on a star! You could be swingin' on a star You could be swingin' on a star You could be swingin' on a star Let's take it home! You could be swingin' on a star!
Watching this makes me so happy and at the same time breaks my heart. You can just tell she was having the time of her life, and that passion was destroyed by Abby

And her mom
And her mom
@@ginax8307 how? Her mom didn’t do anything
No her passion was ”destroyed” by her being a teenager. And i think she was dancing with abby in this one
I totally get why Abby loved her so much! If her passion hadn't died and she didnt sustain a major injury she would have been absolutely incredible. Such a good solo!
Honestly those injuries are all Abbys fault. She didn’t teach Brooke how to properly do her tricks which led to REALLY bad injuries. It really proves Abby is only good with minis, because minis won’t be judged as harshly as a teenager is on technique.
@@trip7002 I don’t think it’s all abbeys fault because Brooke could’ve just injured herself while doing tricks

Is this what Brooke was thinking back to when she said “I’m not really the same person I was when I was 9” lol
She was 11 here, but I still agree!
Yet she still fits in a costume from when shes 9 😂
Most likely tbh

Frrr
I know right! :(

@@avatealey Even before the show Brooke was loosing her passion
@@avatealey from the first episode it seemed like she already hated dance
she wasn't just all because of her losing her passion. she grew up and was overpressured, so Abby moved onto someone else.

While watching this all I could think was how abby did them real dity
Wasnt she dancing with abby in this one :D
@@xddlollmao5176 yeah but she was probably with another teacher. Christi once said that most days before the show Abby didn’t even come to the studio
Her facials were extremely rehearsed. It’s good that a lot of people feel they’re believable. That’s the point.
@@Jk_hbngfvg yes and their point is she was obviously capable of doing doing the facials. Rehearsed or not, it’s very hard to keep facials through out a routine and Abby made it seem like she was never able to do that.

one of my favorite solos from brooke. it’s so sad to see how she transformed over the years in terms of passion

This is some of the best choreography she’s ever had. It really shows her full range of talent and expression. Love seeing how happy she was ❤️
Excellent singer and excellent dancer always Brooke Hyland
Watching these I can see why Abbie loved her as a dancer, there is real joy in this there never was in her dance moms days
You can see her emotions and talent in here. When the show started abby was different.
she's got very pretty technique and she made all those steps look easy
THIS SOLO IS AMAZING

i know for Paige it was to help hide her bent legs brooke didn't have that problem though so im not sure
@@aldccrazy1773 it may have been so she didn’t slip on a trick she was doing or something

Brooke was so much more than a mere contortionist or acrobat.

One of her beat solos! Look at her cute facials 🥺
You can see as she’s got deeper into Abby’s life how the passion in her eyes died.But Brook did amazing in all of her dances.it just shows how just one person can ruin the passion and want to learn.
she would have quit anyway. She said she was losing interest as she approached adolescence. It is very normal for teenagers to do that
brookes flexibility when she was little is so amazing!!
I absolutely love it
Unpopular opinion: This has got to be my fav brooke solo
Interesting that one of Abby’s lines on the show was “you can’t give her anything new, you just have to recycle the same crap she’s been doing since she was 8”.. definitely boxed Brooke in as an acro dancer and never knew how to develop her further
The fact that maddies solo is called 'To be a star' and brookes is 'Swingin' on a star' she has always been under maddies success🥺
It didn’t show it on Dance Moms but she actually got the best acrobatic award of 2011 at the Abby Lee Dance Company showcase
1:13 her facial expressions are so cute 😊❤
This gave me chills. She was so happy. She looked so free and joyful as she danced.

It's incredible to me how all the OGs have made such wonderful lives for themselves, despite all the pain and trauma they endured for so long. 💙
Out of all the DM solos, this is the absolute best.
Just now after watching this it just became my fav Brooke solo! This reminds me am of mackenzie

Lyrics from the song!!
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long, funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way,
If you hate to go to school
Sh!
You may grow up to be a mule!
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are!
Or would you like to be a fish?
A fish is an animal who swims in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are?
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Everyday you see quite a few
So you see, it's all up to you
You could be better than you are!
You could be swingin' on a star
You could be swingin' on a star!
You could be swingin' on a star
You could be swingin' on a star
You could be swingin' on a star!
You could be swingin' on a star
You could be swingin' on a star
You could be swingin' on a star
Let's take it home!
You could be swingin' on a star!
