This choreography was very before its time. I remember the first time I watched this, back in 2011, I wasn't a fan of the choreography because I didn't think it was very conventional. It was very different from what I had seen before, and I was not used to it. Contemporary and movements of the body that could be considered strange are much more normalized now. Watching this solo again, during 2017, I absolutely love it. Fantastic choreography. Her emotion is so raw and authentic.

This girl is not only a dancer, but an artist.

1:39 kills me, it's only 3 pirouettes but it's downright the best turn sequence i've seen all over youtube, dance moms, sytycd, you name it. i wanna learn to do that!

to do it that well you need to practice spotting and you need to come up fast but turn gracefully.

I remember watching this video regularly like 10 years ago over and over again, as it expressed so well the emotions I was struggling to express myself at the time, and it was just so beautiful. The movements stayed with me, but I forgot the words of the song, the title of the video, name of the dancer. I just found it again today almost ten years later, and it's just as amazing as I remember it ❤

Proof that you can show emotion throughout your body movements and not just your face. Her face stayed blank and consistent the entire time but performed with maturity the dance moms girls have not ever gotten near to reaching.

I'll never understand how the judges didn't put her through to the top 20 after making it to the final week twice. Most beautiful dancer I've ever seen

Megan doesn't need SYTYCD anymore. She's a professional dancer who's making her own path. If anything, she'll be a choreographer on the show one day. Her ability to seek out new movement patterns and shapes is incredible. Y'all better have watched not just this video of her, but all the videos of her dancing and her choreography to truly appreciate how insanely talented this artist is.

She is the best interpretor of this song with her body motions. She makes me feel the song. I watched a bunch of other videos of people dancing to this song but never finish watching any other but this particular one. Such a beautiful piece of artwork here!

My heart burns for this girl's passion. I aspire to have her amazing technique and dream to one day to reach this dancer's amazing abilities. Wow

Every time I'm on KZread I have to watch this dance. I absolutely adore it! Keep dancing.

Waoh I felt chills watching this. That’s never happened before when I watch these type of dances. She did so god with showing emotion.

Honestly, dancing isn't about how many turns you can do, or how high your leaps are, it's about how much feeling you put into the dance you are doing. This right here, is a perfect example of beautiful dancing. Megan, you are a beautiful, amazing dancer. Keep performing your art and someday, you truely will become known. :)

Im lost in her dancing O.O just woah

all these comments about how the audience is so annoying are soooo annoying… this is a competition the audience is supposed to be cheering her on. It adds so much moral support and (in my experience) actually helps performance. Its weird if your teammates arnt cheering you on from the wings😂

Mesmerizing pointe. Beautiful technique. Overall perfection.

Beautiful. You can really see the emotion and story of this dance. Well done. Bravo!

именно такую красивую хореографию я и пыталась найти под этот музыкальный трек. всё просмотренное раннее мной, под этот трек, было ниже качеством и уровнем профессионализма. браво!!

I wish I could dance like that! That was pure amazing!!

You're not doing a very good job of supporting this dancer. Do not compare her to M.Z! This girl is a beautiful dancer *on her own*. By comparing her to a paid professional dancer you're opening her up to criticisms about how she "isn't as good". She's amazing and probably has more heart than many of the girls on that show anyway.

1.40 is a pure golden moment

at 1:42 tho omg ugggg i am dying now bye

By far my favorite dancer on youtube. every movement she does is so real. That's what defines a great dancer.

I've probably seen and commented on this far too many times but its just SO GOOD. I literally smile ear to ear and don't even realize it until its over EVERY TIME I watch this. It's perfection. She is perfection. I wish I had an iota of her talent. KEEP KICKING @SS GIRL!

I have competed in front of plenty silent crowds, and if you're as skilled as she is, it was most likely more distracting than anything. That's my take on it, but don't take it from me, I've been dancing and teaching dance for over 15 years...

really beautiful! but I hate that the people start to scream when she didn't finish!

You moved me to tears - amazing performance!

So amazing and inspiring! I can't stop watching this.

Stupid people shouting while she dances. It anulates what she's trying to express! It is not acrobatics!!

I can't stand this piece. She is a phenomenal dancer but the choreography doesn't go with the music. She has a dance to "Hunter" by Bjork and I think that piece is fantastic, the moves go with the song and it just fits, but here some of the movements are just too bizarre for the song and it has no flow.

Absolutely beautiful.

its scary and beautiful at the same time. I just love it ♥

The audience obviously doesn't know theatre etiquette. So annoying

The fact that this is improvised never ceases to amaze me. Whenever people talk about the choreography I always feel the need to mention that this all came from her head. In the spur of the moment. Flawless.

to me it looks like the soul dancing along side the dancer. letting the soul be free to move and remember when it was once human. I think this so sweet.

my god this was such beautiful choreography as well as an amazing dancer who performed this so well I saw such passion in her every move I just fell in love with this 😍

What a beautiful dance. And to do that pirouette you have to have so much control!! Love this

That was exquisite. Not only is that an artist, but a genius as well. Dance does not do justice to what that girl just did. Well done!

Totally Extraordinary!!! I was just captivated watching this performance! God keep on blessing you because you are an amazing expressive dancer! Thank you~

Out of all the choreography I have seen, this is the only piece that has pushed me into staying in the dance world.

It was very superb, her lines were beautiful unbelievably great. Chica

i love the sort of awkward grace with which she starts the dance. truly beautiful piece

The many things you shouldn't be able to do and the many ways you should not be able to move your body....and she nailed all of them. This is truly a beautiful piece of work.

I never get tired of watching her. amazing

this is the most amazing dance i have ever seen in my whole life! :O

Perfection,beautiful,flawless,amazing!

I LOVE IT!!!! Absolutely amazing!

this girl is honestly unreal ! Not even humanly possible to be this perfect. She's honestly pure perfection. Stunning.

TRUE talent & art! She is amazing & so is this choreography! AMAZING.

This blows my mind! Fantastic dancer and choreo!!

Hands down best choreographer award in my book!

This is perfection. The lines that she make and she just flows so effortlessly, the only thing that brings down the video is the cheering and yelling that disturbs the beauty of it, but i know they're doing so to encourage her. This is beautiful.

I can watch it over and over and over again!... beautttyyyyyy

Absolutely beautiful

Watching this makes me feel so emotional for some reason. There's a rawness to it, a vulnerability.

I love that walk on the front of her toes, it's so beautiful. She's amazing

This is the definition of passion

I cannot stop watching this dance, it's that perfect!

WOW! I couldn't take my eyes off you, you are amazing

this is honestly one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen

Absolute perfection!!! So beautiful :)

I love her, I can't stop watching it...Inspiring.
