I love Eliana. She was one of my favorite girls from the auditions and thru Vegas week. I love her personality the most cause she can be silly and goofy at times but when the performance required maturity and seriousness she could bring that too. Amazing technique as well
Anyone who knows anything about the technical components of dance and ballet particularly, knows the highest compliment to be receive is not on their extensions or technique because those were perfected long ago with rigorous training but no matter the amount of effort you put into the "performance" and expression and "face" a technically perfect dancer may never evoke the emotion and connectedness to the song as Eliana Girard does. You may not write the music or create the choreography but neither of those can take you to a place beyond perfect to a place above the human spirit where humanity exists in pure beauty and you help us see the beauty amongst all the tragedy amongst the triumph. The Sweet songs are sometimes of the saddest thoughts. This applies to technically perfect dancing that only the most beautiful dancing can be an expression of sometimes the saddest thoughts. Through the perfect dancing you show in your body and face, a glimpse into humanity and of the good and the bad. The dichotomy in dance that is technical stunning but emotionally impossible is where the same great talent that regards Moozart, Michelangelo, and Monet as genius is the same talent that makes Elian a genious. Because she can take an idea many of us feel and translate into a physical form an person can look at and instantly relate to a literal translation of humanity and the good and the bad we all must take on in a lifetime, the remembrance of those who mostly had it bad in war, famine, and oppression. But the triumph of those who rose or attempted to rise above the injustice. Bravo, Eliana Girad! Bravo! Thank you for bringing me to a place above reality and make it real, if even only for a moment, every time you dance.
Laura Hoke, your writing skills, beautiful mind, and ability to express your thoughts are also very rare and very special. Keep writing Laura! It was simply beautiful too.
How can someone be so perfect at dance? It's not all about turns, leaps, and extensions. It's about the artistry and passion, and that's what I love watching. Not people doing 20 turns but people who love to dance.
Yay! I am so happy she made it to the top 20! I picked her as my favourite from the auditions but lost her during Vegas! Great job Eliana! I knew you could do it!
I knew she was gonna win from the beginning just like how I knew Melanie Moore was gonna win JUST from her audition...just the technique mixed with the raw emotions...Fabulous, amazin, spectacular..no words
wow. mad i missed last season and the past 4 seasons for that matter.(protesting Jeanine's win over Brandon and Kayla) But this madame just inspired me to watch again. Oh how I have missed my SYTYCD. Thank you Eliana u r AMAZEballs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mrmystic she's also a regular dancer for Taylor Swift on her tours and stuff. Her schedule may interfere with her being able to come back on the show. She's definitely one of my favorites from the entire run of the show so far.
I know right! I was shocked. I am releasing a pole dance video of her this week. We need to keep her on the show long enough to see her do a pole duet & a pas de deux.
Eliana is the hottest dancer to ever appear on SYTYCD. She has the best body and she is stunningly gorgeous. She has a most bright future. Congrats to the uber talented beauty named Eliana.
Calling it now. She's going to win. Haven't noticed anybody as good thus far. And I love how nonchalant she is about awkwardly squeaking all over the pole. Haha!
guitta Dabe Funny enough, Jennifer Beals didn’t do her own dancing in Flashdance, it was done by a dance double! I do agree with you though, my first thought was that she looked like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance!
It's interesting how Eliana reminds Jesse of Melanie, & Melanie is Chehon's inspiration. Kind of coincidental, as both dancers earned the winning titles like she did!
It’s 2024 and I still remember the year I watched this show . She’s amazing
The way this audition still hasn't been topped.
I love Eliana but Justine Lutz is still my favourite all time
I'm so glad she won. Awesome personality and dancing!
really she won? that's great news she's a really good dancer
I've never seen a more silent Audition crowd in the history of SYTYCD. Truly captivating and beautiful. When you silence a crowd you have struck gold!
I love Eliana. She was one of my favorite girls from the auditions and thru Vegas week. I love her personality the most cause she can be silly and goofy at times but when the performance required maturity and seriousness she could bring that too. Amazing technique as well
The minute her audition was over I said, "there's your winner, folks." And she was! Brilliant routine, performed to perfection.
I love how she incorporated ballet, jazz, contemporary and did it so effortlessly - truly an amazing dancer.
Ive heard about legs for days but honey shets got legs for decades
What‘s amazing is that she obviously trained BOTH SIDES!! To see a dancer or gymnasts etc. show both sides in splits is VERY rare!💗🤩
I'm late seeing this, but have watched it probably 100 times since. So beautiful. I could watch her dance for days.
Still the greatest SYTYCD audition ever

You better write 🙌🙌 thats all I know. You said what you said period 🙌. I literally could not have written this better 💯
I love to keep keep watching this audition she’s amazing and def deserved to win
My favourite dancer from SYTYCD ever!

One of the most beautiful dancers I've seen. I'm so glad she won!
Wow! Sublime, brought tears to my eyes, girl is stunningly beautiful.
A truly outstanding audition on this show and she definitely is one of the best winners of So You Think You Can Dance!
What an incredible performance! Eliana is truly stunning and such a beautiful performer!
That was so beautiful... True art.

The female winner of the season!
she is probably one of if not the strongest female contestant the show has ever had.

Yay! I am so happy she made it to the top 20! I picked her as my favourite from the auditions but lost her during Vegas! Great job Eliana! I knew you could do it!
God the way she moves is just breathtaking.
I knew she was gonna win from the beginning just like how I knew Melanie Moore was gonna win JUST from her audition...just the technique mixed with the raw emotions...Fabulous, amazin, spectacular..no words
she is clearly the best and i knew the moment i saw her i knew she would make it very far
She made that look effortless. You could seriously hear a freaking pin-drop when she was dancing!
wow. mad i missed last season and the past 4 seasons for that matter.(protesting Jeanine's win over Brandon and Kayla) But this madame just inspired me to watch again. Oh how I have missed my SYTYCD. Thank you Eliana u r AMAZEballs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
magical and very incredible!
I can't even believe Eliana was in the bottom 3 this week. PEOPLE, VOTE! Eliana should never be in the bottom again, EVER!
winner right there!!
She was awesome my favourite
Just amazing!!!
It`s a crying shame she didn`t came back as an allstar! She didn`t come back even for a performance... Why?
She was in Australia & couldn't get back in time. Rumor has it she'll be on next year for sure! We all want her back on the show!
mrmystic she's also a regular dancer for Taylor Swift on her tours and stuff. Her schedule may interfere with her being able to come back on the show. She's definitely one of my favorites from the entire run of the show so far.
mrmystic She was Suppose to come back for the current season But she just broke her ankle. So SAD!
:( Well, i love her and hope to see her again.
+Amanda Qualls How did she break her ankle? Ouch. She is so exquisite! One of the best ever!!
she is amazing!!! wow!!!
Pure art right there ❤❤❤
I watched this while in labor, and named my daughter Elliana (different sp:)
she did. twice. and got amazing review. eliana and alex wong did "bang bang" and "without you" check it out there amazing
Love her!
She is just such a kick ass beautiful goof
Good God, what can't this girl do?! Wow!... Impressive to say the least...
If it was a singular winner season, she would've solely taken that crown hands down.
I think I like girls now
She was my dance teacher's student and I will get to see her when Taylor Swift's tour is over :-)
eliana's randomness always makes me laugh 1:28
she is similar to melanie but obviously her own star. this girl is fantastic.
I know right! I was shocked. I am releasing a pole dance video of her this week. We need to keep her on the show long enough to see her do a pole duet & a pas de deux.
She completely deserved her win
She is good!!
Bravo!
*Blowing kisses* I love Eliana! She is the best dancer I've ever watched
Eliana is the hottest dancer to ever appear on SYTYCD. She has the best body and she is stunningly gorgeous. She has a most bright future. Congrats to the uber talented beauty named Eliana.

She looks like Jennifer Beals
Calling it now. She's going to win. Haven't noticed anybody as good thus far.
And I love how nonchalant she is about awkwardly squeaking all over the pole. Haha!
She did win.
I was just thinking that!
She did win
She could easily have doubled for the girl in the Flashdance movie, with her face and her hair the way they are!
guitta Dabe Funny enough, Jennifer Beals didn’t do her own dancing in Flashdance, it was done by a dance double! I do agree with you though, my first thought was that she looked like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance!
Where is that girl now ? She's absolutely amazing !
❤beutifull .. perfect😍😻 love you
Aw she has a cute smile.

It's interesting how Eliana reminds Jesse of Melanie, & Melanie is Chehon's inspiration. Kind of coincidental, as both dancers earned the winning titles like she did!
