Amazing, gifted dancer.
More so moved aurally, but this young man captivated me with his movement.
Elevation and extention on jeté entrelacé at 1:15 is stunning.

It's been so many years and I still cannot get this performance out of my head. The moment this artist created will stick with me for the rest of my life. Talented is an understatement.

Ricky really impresses me. I mean, he's so in it. The control on his sprawling all over, the height of his jumps! And his face at :35, like, wow. That is emotion.

Besides being an amazing dancer I'm pretty sure he'd could be an amazing martial artist if he wanted to be. He has such excellent control over his whole body, even down to his toes. Plus he has that explosive power and incredible flexibility.

I've watched this soooooo many times before and I still feel the same level of awe and emotion and......... wow. That being said, ever noticed that this piece of choreography is awesome work in itself? Its horrible that the choreographer isn't getting as much big-up as the dancer is. But whoever choreographed this, hats off to you. GREAT work. lovely.

@GiaDiamond4 9 жыл бұрын

I imagine this solo is about someone who was paralyzed and finally regains the ability to move... getting used to his skin and bones. That's why the movements are almost ugly, because he doesn't know how to move yet. Then at the end he gets the hang of it celebrates his new body!

@kaseythompson4670 7 жыл бұрын

Japple, the wonderful thing about music is how we all interpret its meaning based on our life experience. I hear something differently; I hear the pain of loss and how it strips us of everything we know and love. As I near the one year anniversary of my sister's death, it harkens the loss of my father and mother (38 and 30 years prior). Sometimes, I still struggle to get my feet under me, the pain can be so deep. Again, that's the wonder. You see celebration, yet I see tragedy.

So mad Nigel stopped the music in the middle of it!

@toast418 9 жыл бұрын

Actually, Nigel didn't stop the music at all. It's the format of the show that an audition piece cannot exceed 90 sec. That rule still applies in the exhibition solos that start off call-backs, which was what this video was, (And if someone is asked to 'dance for their life.') Judges also give no feedback at that stage either. So, Nigel's hand gesture at the end was all the thanks he was officially allowed to give the performance. That being said- It IS in fact part of a longer piece. Videos of the full work are also available on youtube, but Ricky had to choose where to prune it to stay within the rules. Luckily it was already pretty top heavy (most difficult things first) in it's original form. Don't blame Nigel, blame the format if you must - but just be happy you got to see as much as you did.
