Tate Mcrae says hi

Tate, from Canada

Get in my van Tate is amazing but not as well rounded imo. She’s a fantastic story teller & her legs are to die for tho

+trinity Dowling I would love to have seen her dance in the Nutcracker with the Phoenix Ballet kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcyZeaqGrbbbYn0.html

on stage she is not a kid anymore

mmmmmm one of the best, a few people possibly might have her

Stream Line yeah she is a kid she's only 14

Charlotte Sellars nope

Jose Martinez I agree with u,Sophia is sooo amazing and doesn't need facials to make her dance great instead she uses her movement that brings the emotion

Exactly. Yet people are always bringing up facial expression when talking about sophia. A dancer should be able to express the emotion of a dance without having to make exaggerated facial expressions. Like you should be able to express sadness without looking like you're about to cry every 5 mins

I totally agree its good to have good facials but having super exageratted facials make it uncomfortable to watch the dance. Sophia does it perfectly

I agree, I think what sets Tate and Sophia from other dancers and dance moms girls is that that don't use their face to emote and tell a story they use their body, and that's shows such maturity in their dancing which can be very difficult.

and Titanium :D

Thanks for putting into words the feelings we share about Sophia. Most dancers will execute a series of moves or 8-counts, even put in facials at the right points, and it's obviously just that. I can enjoy a well-executed choreo. But sometimes a dancer reaches that level where the music, the choreo, the facials, the costume, even the stage, no longer seem separate or artificial, but all of one piece, and the audience forgets for just a few minutes, that a dance is an invented thing, and simply experiences it in the present. Sophia does that for me.

Perfect Dance Videos I agree. She truly is a gift to the world of dancing.

Here's a little background. Sophia holds the world record for most continuous pirouettes. Her dad runs an investment firm near San Diego. Her mom is a competitive bodybuilder. Sophia is about 20 now and teaches dance technique to children.

Just about the only comment mentioning Maddie is yours. Practice what you preach, eh?

@@ellystripes there's a lot more on other videos though. People seem too always do that, even though Sophia's on another level

@@carolinepowell3297 stop always victimizing maddie and people say horrible stuff about sophia in the maddie videos

@@parismahone7207 youre def confused...

👍 👍

Thiago Lima because people compare Maddie to everyone, they don't do thst with any of the other girls from the show! They shouldn't be comparing her to anyone because she is a prodigy fo,more than being a dancer ,it's all the other things she has done in her short life that has the industry calling her a prodigy! She even admits that she is not the best dancer so why don't all you you tubers leave her alone! Time magazine voted her one of 30 most influential teens 4 years running now! The industry really has respect for her ,she has done more than any dancer out there outside of dance ! She bowed out of a movie offer to go on a world tour with sia, she danced for an hour and a half straight that's stamina almost every night ! She danced at the grammys! She's been on most talk shows more than once and T.V. shows and commercials! She was on Saturday night live at 12 years old, she has her own clothing line and 3 best selling books ,her first book was written up in Time magazine as one of the most intriguing books on the best sellers list ! She did these things first ,then all of the sudden everyone is writing a book and doing something with clothing ! She won a people's choice award against very amazing A-LIST actors, I was shocked when she beat out the amazing women from Orange is the new black! She won teen choice 3 years running now! She was recently signed by 3 different modeling agencies! She was in leap with a lead role ,so many amazing actors have been in animated film and say it's actually very hard to do! She did an excellent job ,and she did a great job playing Christina in the Book of Henry! It's not quantity but quality of the performances, and she was very good ,I was in the same situation as a young girl and she nailed it! She just finishing finished the movie with Kate Hudson where she plays a lead role as a autistic girl coming to theaters soon! Some people don't think she can pull off such a hard and controversial role ,but I have faith that she will have,done it tastefully and very good ! ABBY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER GETTING THE SIA ROLE IN CHANDELIER, IN FACT SHE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE ABBY AT ALL ,AND IS PROBABLY THE REASON MADDIE HAS BACKED OFF FROM HER ! SHE WAS ON THE SHOW BUT SO WE'RE ALL THE OTHER GIRLS, SHE PICKED MADDIE BECAUSE SHE MADE HER CRY DOING SUCH COMMERCIALIZED DANCING! SHE SAID IF,SHE COULD DO THAT SHE KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL ABOUT HER ! SHE,WAS VERY RIGHT ,SHE WROTE THE FORWARD FOR MADDIES FIRST BOOK, AND IT SHOWS HOW MUCH SHE LOVES AND TRULY RESPECTS MADDIE AS AN PERSON AND AS AN ARTIST! SHE SAID SHE FINISHED THE DANCE IN ONE HOUR ,MADDIE SAID 3 ,BUT SHE HAS BEEN VERY HUMBLE IN HER OLD AGE HA HA ! SHE SAID THE ENTIRE CREW CRIED AFTER SHE FINISHED AND KNEW THEY HAD SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL, AND BOY WERE THEY EVER RIGHT ! THE INDUSTRY CALLED IT A WORK OF ART AND TO ALL OF YOU THAT MADE FUN OF MADDIES FACES, SCREW YOU ,THEY MADE HER FAMOUS ! SHE ALSO SAID SHE WANTS TO DO AS MUCH AS SHE CAN WITH MADDIE ,BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE ISN'T JUST A GOING TO FADE AWAY ,BUT BECOME A BIGGER STAR ! TIME MAGAZINE VOTED HER ONE OF 10 RICHEST TEENS AND NONE OF THE OTHER GIRLS WERE ON THE LIST ! SHE IS WORTH 9 MILLION AT JUST TURNING 16 YEARS OLD ! I LIKE HER BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T GO AROUND LETTING FAME GO TO HER HEAD AT ALL ,SHE TALKS ABOUT GETTING AN ALLOWANCE JUST LIKE A REGULAR KID GER OWN AGE ! I LOVE HER CLOTHING LINE BECAUSE IT FITS HER AGE GROUP AND IT'S VERY MODEST LIKE HER ! NOW MACKENZIE SHOULD LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT BEING MODEST BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BE MORE DIFFERENT, BUT THEY ARE LOVING SISTERS WHICH IS VERY COOL ! I KNOW I'M MISSING SOMETHINGS ,BUT YOU GET IT I HOPE ! Rachel Cole under my husbands screen name sorry!

@@kennethcole8403 all that you named doesn't make you a better dancer but makes you a more famous dancer. If you think that because Maddie has a clothing line, she has appeared in many music videos, appeared in magazines, etc. It makes you a better dancer, you know absolutely nothing about dancing. Sophia has better technique and elasticity, her releve is much better, her legs are beautiful... Currently I have seen how Maddie is losing technique, I don't see fluidity in her movements and her jumps (which was what I liked most about her) are no longer the same. If you compare a photo of her jumps in her last solo and one current (that the most current I saw is in the Ziegler's tour in January of this year) and we can see an unfortunate difference. If both compete in a real competition the judges will not care how many magazines you have come out or how many music videos have appeared, they will look at the TECHNIQUE, THE ELASTICITY AND THE EMOTIONS. I can say that Maddie is a better performer than Sophia but Sophia is a better dancer than Maddie.

Because Abby said on the season 3 flashback Maddie and Sophia are both good but she didn't wanna say who was better

Yours, Thiago, is a purely subjective, rather than an objective, opinion without any basis of fact or substance to support it, and is therefore one with which one can neither agree nor disagree. *_R_*

@@akiraalamin2007 Abby’s opinion does matter after all. Sophia is on a whole different level and Abby knows that. She just doesn’t want to accept

i know right her turns are amazing

I'll never win the Tour de France, but that doesn't stop me from biking 🚴

Tate is still a queen, but Sophia is only doing self taught stuff now, and dancing in her own time. She's still AMAZING, and I love her, but she no longer intends on being professional.

Catch Sophia on Hallmark Channel this season doing "A Nutcracker Christmas" www.hallmarkchannel.com/a-nutcracker-christmas/cast/sophia-lucia

What

Why are we bringing up Maddie? This video has nothing to do with her.

Who's Maddie?

@@soseattle9742 Maddie Ziegler

Well, Sophia make me cry but Maddie never make me feel anything

can't really verify that because Jump screwed up their website so the results from some previous years don't display properly. jumptour.com/results.php?id=317

Replying to this was a great reason to come an watch it again. Great dancing by Sophia. I'm not sure what kind of dance could score higher than this besides someone really trained in ballet absolutely killing it with lots of jumps and such. She didn't do anything too difficult compared to her other dances but she's so flawless technically. I think she put up high score here and possibly one of her own highest scores. I don't know how maddie has put up perfect scores on dance moms when there's no way abby could send her out there expecting to beat this. Who cares what jumps website says. This dance says enough.

Claire Hambling same I think she gets such boring music, and I lose interest.

Claire Hambling Did you try watching My Faith

Claire Hambling So this is the only dance you’ve seen right?

+xBeautiful Dancers Sorry, I can't really improve on the video posted on the Sophia Lucia channel. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKqel5iIs9G5XaM.html) I wish I had a fresh copy of the video from Countdown. Then I would add in the stereo Charlotte Martin audio track to make a sweet upload.

i think she didnt compete

I think it was an exhibition dance at the closing show of the event.

that is my channel signature. It comes from Snow Patrol's "You Could Be Happy"

OH thank you .. cute video Greetings from Colombia...

Ah, one of my favorite places. Nothing like a refreshing Colombiana!

“Me And The Devil” - full details in the description box

Ugh, Maddie is know where near her skill level. Maddie has nothing special about her. The dance moms competitions are fake so they make the aldc dancers win.

She IS better than Maddie

+Sapphire Blue since age 2!

Perfect Dance Videos thanks! good job!

Mackenzie Daly she is a ballet dancer what do you expect

Your definition of what constitutes "dancing" seems too narrow. Do you not value contemporary style dances where you reside?
