WTF You people saying 'bout this girl? What is youtube about? America's got talent or something? She made a beautiful composition and the fact that she wanted to express her feelings is more important than anything. If she didn't do this or that is what less matters. We shouldn't judge by just looking mistakes and stumblings. I love to dance, i'm not professional, i'm not a smarty and i don't care about DOING WELL. I care about doing something real to me. And if it's good for me then awesome! i found what i wanted. And she did, she feels happy and complete, she dance like she is.
The painter/worker in the background really tied up the loose ends of the story. We know he's probably suffering emotionally and he wants to join in the dance... but he's too afraid to be judged. Breathtaking.
For people saying she's not any good. Actually!! She's really good, She's not tryig to tell a story. It's passion and pain expressed through the art of dance. It's not a regular dnce routine. You can tell through her movement it's pain and passion.
Here I lay absolutely blown away and in tears after watching this beautiful mover express herself ever so deeply only to scroll down to see all the goofy little mind preferences typed up by viewers. I rarely comment on any you tube clip but def feel compelled this time. Lydia, thank you for bringing me so full in the moment and inspiring creative movement patterns. Perfect timing as Burning Man is just a week away!!!!!!
I've probably watched this 20 times!!! Omg this was absolutely amazing! I'm a dancer and Lydia inspires me to reach for the stars and become a better dancer! She's so talented!!!
kinda looked like lots of tricks with no connection between them...i won't deny that you have the capability to be a dancer, but the choreography let you down
I totally agree less tricks/flexibility more meaning ful choreography. You Seam to be a great dancer but all I saw in the dance was tricks no actual dancing :)
This is SO beautiful. Gosh I can't stop watching this. It makes me want to be a dancer now. Everything about this is beautiful. The dancing, the song and you! Good job! xx
Ballet is such a beautiful art form and method of expression! Too bad I wasn't exposed to more of it when I was growing up. Thank God for the modern day Internet!
DesiPanda674 Oh, okay. I'm not familiar enough with all the specific dance forms to know the difference, so I had to google both 'ballet' and 'contemporary dance'. As you surely already know, ballet is often defined as an artistic form of dance that uses precise and highly formalized steps and gestures, which may be characterized by light, graceful, fluid movements. Not surprisingly, there is apparently a lot of confusion as to what exactly contemporary dance is, but as I expected, it is largely influenced by ballet. However, one source explained that it "stresses versatility and improvisation, unlike the strict, structured nature of ballet." So I guess the main difference is it is not as restricted. Hopefully, I am forgiven by most (including you) for not knowing the subtle differences. Let me rephrase my original post by saying, "Dance in general is such a beautiful art form and method of expression!"
i love this video. the choreography is beautiful but what i really find amazing is how you can tell how passionate she is about dancing. The floor hasn't been put it yet, the workers were currently painting the walls yet she still is completely tuned into her dancing. Stuff like this never fails to remind me how fantastic dance really is.
Such a beauty, I am completely impressed. NEVER STOP DANCING YOU ARE TRULY TALENTED. You have inspired me not to stop dancing and keep doing my best at ballet, contemporary and lyrical. Thank-you so much :)
She's amazing, there's no doubt there and I wouldn't be able to do half of it.. On the other hand, i know music, and her choreography doesn't match the song. Great work though, i'm truly impressed.
That was stunning! Please make sure you keep dancing for as long as you possibly can you have a true gift!! + there were many breath taking moments in this but especially at 1.25.....wow.....
This dance is absolutely amazing! I've been looking through some contemporary dance videos for inspiration in one of my Wattpad books and this is by far the best! :D
you are absolutely amazing!!! i will be rooting for you when you're on So You Think You Can Dance!! i hope and pray to be as good as you someday! keep dancing! you were born for it!
I was looking for a different video but holy shit am I happy I watched this one. I love it. It's so beautiful. 9/10 though for the painter walking by and distracting me. I was like "Is he going to dance with her?" Lol.
your technique is amazing and the tricks and moves you do in this dance is certainly advanced and very unique. you will grow into an even more beautiful dancer than you already are! keep posting videos because i'm looking forward to seeing you grow and improve
Could Not Keep my eyes off you. I thought it was quite amazing. You dance well and have nice strong moves. Would have loved to learn a thing or two from you to put a choreography as a surprised for my mommy's Born Day this summer.
Your movements are pure beauty. Your dancing inspired me so much and I almost cried while watching you dance. It was so emotionally and breathtaking... *-*
That was so incredibly beautiful. You have so much power and I just feel this immense sense of strength when I watch this. Please, please audition for So You Think You Can Dance or something like that! That was great. Keep dancing!
wow. that was perfection!! you are crazy talented! your beautiful and so inspiring, my first video of yours, and i subscribed right away!!! NEVER STOP DANCING! :)
you are CRAZY good! as a dancer myself, i can only imagine how exhausted you were haha but wow.. amazing job!!! i definitely look up to you now! keep it up
Oh the things I would do to dance like that...wow I'm so amazed right now It's really hard to type!! I'm a dancer and have been since I was little but you..you are astonishing!! Keep up the great work and feel free to make more video's ya know say like tips/advice on dancing, choreography to this dance step-by-step, and or other songs, pleaseee :) You are by far the best dancer I've ever seen!! #America'sGotTalentBound or #SYTYCD!
THIS WAS THE MOST AMAZING DANCE I HAVE SEEN TO THIS SONG! lol I love it soo much, you're so talented and beautiful and I really hope you discovered and get a contract and be successful and happy! loll
Thank you! I only started when I was 9 and it's never to late to start if you work hard!(: I started with Lyrical but I kind of made a mistake I should of started with Ballet because it really helps with your technique.. so try to do both(: I can say though contemporary is my favorite too!
This was beautiful. I was draw to this video because of its association with Ed Sheeran. He's an amazing musician and I have seen dances choreographed and hated them. I felt that they didn't do his song any justice. This is an emotional song. Especially the bridge. I'd like to say you are amazing. I'd love to learn this myself and put as much passion into my dance as you do. Good luck. You are amazing.
Thank you sooooo much I'm 16 but when i'm 18 I defunetlly want to try out for So You Think You Can Dance... and well what I did was grab my leg and then let go and tried to hold it up there. It will not be that high at first but if you keep on doing that it will get higher and higher... Also I lay on my back and slowly let my legs come down in a split and then back up for 8 counts then 4 counts then 2 and then I do a beet with my feet and open into the splits really fast then back up it helps!(:
OH MY FREAKING GOSH! that was so beautiful and i love that song and you just made the song come to life you are an amazing dancer and i hope that someday I'll be able to dance like you :)
Absolutely awesome! I felt the heart !I witness the athleticism! your training is amazing !and I just love watching you dance! Truly artistic and wishing you all the very best :-)
Wow please compete this! this is an amazing dance!!!!! i love it! your so strong, flexible and its just amazing! how you would run and do a jump and continue spinning or something! i just love it! teach me please!
Beautiful dancer with great technique and passion! Choreography is inventive and amazing for this long of a dance, and this is coming from a fellow choreographer! Don't listen to ugly comments here because half of them cannot even touch their toes much less be qualified to criticize you. Keep dancing!
This is absolutely amazing! I've also danced to this song many times and made up my own choreography for this song and yours is so much better. I admire you and your work. =) Keep it up!
omg this was AMAZING. You are a true inspiration when it comes to contemporary dance. I love this video. You should definitely audition for So you think you can dance. xx

The control she has on her turns and extensions is sooooooooo on point! Excellent job *round of applause*

i LOVE this dance so much!! it inspires me to become a professional dancer - man i wish the olympics had that ;) lol :)

I was very happy to see a dancer who not only emotes with her face but with her body as well. very well done.
Awesome!!! Fantastic choreo and great technique. Especially love the jump at 2:08

She's amazing, there's no doubt there and I wouldn't be able to do half of it.. On the other hand, i know music, and her choreography doesn't match the song. Great work though, i'm truly impressed.
