This is what I think I look like pretending to dance with no prior experience. You are fabulous

[@skylarmcmahon5139]

Spoiler- it’s not what I look like haha

[@aldcapplause847]

My name is Skyler too it’s just spelt different

[@ChristinaChrisR]

Exactly this.

[@rileymcfadden1644]

And this is what I love about self choreographed dances! Incredible

[@kimgibbs3287]

Her movments are so clean and smooth she will go somehwere in life

[@spiritandtruthworshippers]

this is absolutely flawlessly beautiful. the way you transition...on transition... on tran.... it is like one smooth motion. wow wow wow. beautiful! thank you.

[@melissatoni8633]

This is such a beautiful dance, and I have to say, this song makes me remember that beautiful “openness” feeling that begins with an existential sadness that Amoda Maa talks about in her book “Falling Open in a World Falling Apart” and when it is allowed and truly felt, there’s no going back from knowing the power of that sort of awe that emerges from within. Absolutely beautiful. I’m going to watch this twice xoxox Keep dancing and being powerfully inspiring

[@merccadoosis8847]

I am in absolute awe over this incredibly artistic performance. Great choreography and expressive dance. GENUINE art.

[@MCMNasty2]

Your choreo was great and the piece was beautifully performed.

[@rhondacox3519]

Yes you danced so beautiful and so much meaning, Amazing

[@JillyBear101]

I want a solo like this… it’s amazing! I always do improvs and make up my own dances for fun, even tried this song before, but they’re definitely never this good!

[@elizabethhh2460]

I've thought about using this song for my senior solo. You were amazing!!!

[@nataliepeerson2679]

That's my sister!!! You SLAYED queen 💖

[@naleah_peerson]

❤️❤️ love you!

[@rosaliebolling2546]

I love that you support your sister! 😊

[@STACEYXRENEE]

I’m glad you have a variety of moves in your solo and very technical and you told the story beautifully ❤

[@waexplorer885]

Absolutely stunning Naleah!!! So privileged to have watched you grow with this piece, it never ceases to take my breath away!

[@_ellianna_shields_]

Utterly breathtaking

[@thatonegayvampire]

your arm and leg lines are beautiful!
edit: this is like my 50th time watching this-

[@savannahmarshall3271]

work it Naleah!!!!!!

[@soranamamadariei906]

I am about to forward this to my daughter hoping it will encourage her to start dancing again. She is 14 now and has been self-choreographing her routines since she was 10. Nothing as complex and flawless as this but still earned an originality award at one of the competitions she attended. She was supposed to resume her training in September 2022 but has been up and down (illness, sickness, various injuries) ever since.

[@siwill09]

this is so amazingly flawless

[@cynthianichole2732]

Very elegant.

[@nikki-iris]

Beautiful performance!

[@Tigerheiress]

Amazing choreography

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Il ritmo della melodia sembra seguire perfettamente quello dell'interiorita ' in questa capacissima ballerina.Molto brava e convincente. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

[@SinclairPondBushell]

I dont know much about dance but I have to assume that their right angled feet in held poses were purposeful until the last pose where they stretched them out and that is what pushed it from a 9.5 to a 10/10 for me

[@nothinbutcute]

fabulous omg

[@actor_reece2326]

Work it Naleah!!

[@paolacardozo3785]

Que hermoso su técnica es espectacular.

[@mstiff321]

Beautiful ❤

[@fnd111]

Nicely done!

[@darrelllickliter6606]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰😍🥰💕

[@moneppeli]

You’re so good! I’m just curious what did you place?

[@naleah_peerson]

Thanks so much! I placed 1st overall at this competition 😊

[@thehan.mitchell]

hey i loved this so much! no pressure at all, but i was wondering if you would mind if i performed this choreography? absolutely no pressure, i would totally understand you not wanting your hardwork to just be taken! lots of love

[@naleah_peerson]

Hi Hannah! Thank you so much for your kind words. This solo was a very personal piece for me and was created for my use only, so it is not available for replication. But thank you for your interest in my choreography, and for respecting my work ❤

[@thehan.mitchell]

hey ofc no problem! thank you for taking the time to respond to me! watching this video actually inspired me to start trying to choreograph my own solo and i am enjoying it so much! hope u are well x

[@nicolecleveland7184]
