Yeah. Flexed feet! Pretzel body. And that was a choice.

The initial choreography get to the prone is quite nice and then…the equivalent of a swatika’ed layout step. There is no accounting for taste - or the lack there of.

 

[Rich]

what is the D value for that

 

[onodian]

It’s an N. For NO, GIRL

 

[Denn]

I am surprised people aren’t complimenting the change in choreography. I love it.

 

[makam]

Eh, it was very modern dance move to me. It’s fine…or at least different. A person does get tired of basic finger flickin’ choreography.

 

[lovegymnasts]

She looks awkward to me. I like the part that everyone else seems to dislike.

 

[Denn]

It’s thematic and expresses a point of view. That can’t be said about very many beam exercises since 1990something

 

[Denn]

Boooooo!!!

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

the choreo from 0:50 to 1:04 is very slow, which is totally fine but she looks unsteady with it. Yurchenko was notoriously slow, but you could see her counting the choreography and every moment was deliberate

 

[RAFIKI]

Great to see something different and parts of it I like very much. I completely lack the vocabulary required to describe dance and dance styles. Looking forward to seeing this when she gets more comfortable with it.

 

[JaJa]

Very unique. I liked it a lot

 

[KristyJ]

It feels awkward to me, and it does seem slow. I appreciate that she’s trying to be out of the box, but I am missing a variety of tempo here more than I do for most routines. It almost feels like “I can’t do quicker choreography” and the movements that are there do not seem natural. Perhaps it has a point of view, but I am having trouble finding a “why” behind any of the movements.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I think I need to see it when it’s been competed a bit more.

 

[rlayt]

It might not have been ready to show and it was a mistake. Hopefully she can make it look better through the next year. Or make changes.

 

[JaJa]

It might not have been ready to show

Probably not. I still liked it.

Looks like Baby has her own Instagram handle.

 

[blake]

Massive props to her for not giving it a funky spelling. Sharlet Jäne would’ve been pretty funny tho.

 

[Sasha]

Not a fan of the baby having an instagram.
