Darius got the best turnout, the straightest back, the best leaps, the best TECHNIQUE I am disgusted that he didn't win. DISGUSTED!
In all fairness they didn't really show the winner
@@brigiddoherty128 yes they did.... wtf? 😂
@@poblo1996 they didn't show his _dance..._ Unless you want to count those two seconds of hip movement
Opalescent artist THAT TOE TOUCH THO WAS AMAZING
Darius should've won!!
Why are we sleeping on "this feels like a season of Dance Moms"
Ilise Giersdorf I loved that he said that
I paused and replayed that part. Now we have no choice but to Stan. He’s officially a dancer.
when Darius did that split jump my jaw drOPPED. we have decided to stan forever
IKR my straddle leap isn’t even as good as his and I’ve been dancing for years.
Cassia McKamey hell ya
DARIUS WAS CHEATED OUT OF WINNING DID YOU SEE HIS DANCE!? AS A BALLET DANCER I AM APPALLED. THATBWAS A PRETTY GREAT PAS DE DEUX AND I AM VERY MUCH UPSET.
It's because he's danced for so long. Otherwise they wouldn't bother with a competition.
@@dothedo3667 bs
Do The Do that makes no sense. If that was the case then he wouldn’t even be in the competition.
@@1dogissky they're not going to say "hey you one dude, no competing in the competition, only you are excluded". They're not going to give a dancer first place when the entire point of it is to do this thing you don't normally do but can really help on the field and that people would normally be embarrassed about, but no one (except that guy) knows what they're doing so no one's going to be judging you or making fun of you, it's a team thing.
Do The Do still makes no sense. They just set him up for disappointment, it’s an unfair competition. They should at least let him judge or something.
Darius was ABSOLUTELY CHEATED. This was a dance competition and he looked like an actual dancer. Come on!
If Darius had started from a young age, he could have *FOR SURE* had a career in ballet.
frankly, he could currently have a ballet career most of those issues are fixable with training.
Miss O.P. That’s a great point. And he’s still relatively young, too (in ballet terms)
He still could.
darius got robbed wtf
Thank you all for your comments good bad snd indifferent. My son Darius danced from age 3-18. At that same time he also played football, basketball, soccer, baseball, wrestled snd ran track. He’s the baby of 5. He will be 21 next month. If someone wants to share this with Ellen I would not be mad! Smiles He enjoyed participating in this fundraiser for 2 years. He’s now a junior in college playing football as a starting varsity wide receiver studying exercise physiology and pre physical therapy to become our family’s first doctor. Again thank you for all the comments. Proud momma right here! And his father is looking down proud from the heavens. His father passed when he was 11 years old.
Any update on dancing Darius?
DARIUS DOES AN ARIAL AND HES RUNNER UP?
What is it with you people and thinking acrobatics is dancing?
Melissa Smith acrobatics is a genre of dance but okay
WAS ABOUT TO SAY, I’ve literally been training for 4 years straight and can’t even get close to doing an Ariel
Damn why they do my boy Darius like that 2 years in a row??? My dude too soft
because whoever was judging the audience clapping was deaf. smfh
How you going to tell Darius he’s the best dancer there and then compliment his ass off just to not let him win?😑😑
VeeNeks Jibelito i don’t know they didn’t really show anything from the winner but from what I saw he looked good too. His moves didn’t seem to be as difficult as Darius’, but he had a nice flow and good execution.
Umm so somebody tell me again why it wasn’t Darius???
Sco2b maybe the winner had lots of family in the audience. I think Darius should have won though.
Nadine Ledwozan but still , what’s the point of judging if the judges don’t decided the best winner
I agree.
Bc he has a background in dance? They wanted to give it to someone who just did football and were completely out of their element
Ac Owens but didn’t the same guy who won this time won the previous year as well? Because that wouldn’t make sense also if they weren’t going to even give him a fair chance at winning would did they even let him compete.
HE DID AN AERIAL WITH POINTED FEET AND AMAZING TURNOUT AND FORM. I CAN HARDLY EVEN DO THAT DARIUS SHOULDVE WON FOR SURE
Darius and his partner should’ve won hands-down did you see those lifts?? And his flexibility?! Runner-up who?!
Darius got robbed.
What’s the point of a competition if the best one is not going to win
Darius said he danced so he had to show out and yes ma’am he did
My neighbor's son danced from a young age as did his sisters. He danced all through high school along with playing football and went on to play for Navy while at the Naval Academy. One of his sister's won state titles at track and field and his other sister is a professional dancer. He was big enough that I don't think that too many people gave him a hard time and he credited dancing with helping his football skills.
3:02 I love him already
Here to fight for a recount! Darius killed that dance
Darius was cheated...they even said he was the best dancer there so wtf
At least they're trying and giving it a go. It would make them appreciate all the work and commitment that goes into ballet, good job for sticking it out guys 👍
Idk why I got so invested in this but my dude was cheated!
thank you for posting this video - I am using it on Monday to educate three 5th-grade boys who have been teasing a classmate all year for studying dance, calling him all kinds of names and disparaging the skill it requires.
HOW DID HE NOT WIN
These guys are so tight in the muscles. Would it be better for them to take a mandatory 2x a week yoga class instead?
Ife Uchime half of dance class is stretching. Once week you often do a whole class of just stretching.
It makes sense though. Many of the Dancing With The Stars contestants and winners were NFL wideouts. Technique and precision. Mad respect for football players and ballet dancers.
Darius should’ve won for sure
“I’m givin all 10s” lol
Darius really decided to wear the unitard. Dude commits and I respect that.
Awe!!! My son is taking tap/ballet classes and he wants to be a football player!! I just love this!!! ❤️
Those kids are awesome. I love seeing the two worlds collide.
This feels like a season of dance moms 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Disliked just because Darius clearly won and then was cheated twice in the row!!
I have a friend who auditioned performed in the nutcracker, who now does football. I don’t know how they’re doing there, but I have a feeling they’ve got the strength and the skill to do really really well now.
This is what I support!!!! We need more of this.
Darius, we love you!
My brother plays Football but he used to do ballet with me when we were younger cause I didn’t like doing things alone and all so he followed me, picked it up, went on to Grade 10 and went into Football. They had something like this recently and he pretended like he never did it b4 but when they taught him to do some moves he did it flawlessly and everyone thought that he was a genius or something
I’ve been dancing for 16 years & still don’t think I could compete with Darius 😂 he’s just insane!
this is so awesome!
this is such an amazing idea!! more appreciation for ballet!
He did sum dirty dancing type moves and didn’t even win damnnnnn
They're such good sports❤
this is amazing haha
Does anyone else remeber the movie "Game Plan" this reminds me of that
Darius definitely won
Darius! Hands down the best! Unbelievable he didn't win! But he will in the future! Keep dancing Darius!!!
yo he did that aerial like it was nothing
Them 2 just need to get together on weekends and do dancing warm ups and run plays.
This feel like a season of Dance Moms lol I died
A great story and I'm glad the boys see the benefit of dance training. However, Darius not winning? No offense to the other boys but still...I hope Darius keeps at dance because he is good.
Darius KILLED IT
Darrius side aerial shook me👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love that jaguars 1 hand
why does the building 0:01 remind me of a orange juicer.
0:45, been there dude
Darius needs to go on Ellen. He should have won. Period.
4:28 LMFAOOOOO
its so weird seeing a video about where i live omg
Must of been inspired by the movie “The Game Plan”😂😂
Darius seriously should have won!! His flexibility, the pas de deux, his jumps and his strength...? Seriously he was good! HE REALLY SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!! The judges even said he was the best male dancer here, and people were saying he was really good just to have him be the runner up in the end?? This is.... -_-
I wish the guys at our school did this
This would be a good romantic comedy concept for a movie or book lol
ballet really has a good disipline for the body that needs it.
nice :)
Hit 500k
That purple outfit tho!!!
You can always walk out, you have free will.
#justicefordarius
I should’ve gone to that school lol
DARIUS HIT THAT SPLIT JUMP AND MY JAW FELL TO THE FLOOR edit: darius deserved to win. he was cheated.
In the thumbnail I saw a Massillon tigers shirt and I was thinking to my self wtf and I saw perry and glenoak
Robbed, but I’m sure the players don’t mind meeting some fit cuties
Darius got jipped
I was hoping and waiting for someone to go up to Darius and offer him a dance scholarship 😭
I came here because I am a ballet dancer and some foot ball player was trying to argue with me about how ballet isn’t a hard sport and football is harder. 😀
Wow
Minerva lions is LITERALLY the exact same Detroit lion logo but red
I dance with the girl Darius danced with😚🤞
Darius lowkey fine tho..
BRUHH how did Darius not win?
Darius GOT ROBBED 😮
lol they didnt even interview the winners? odd
FluffyAndTriesTheirBest cuz they know the crowd was paid
Would of been good to see male ballet dancers in class not just the girls
Darrius won. Point blank period 😂😂
Darius was obviously the best dancer. My ONLY guess as to the results is that they took his prior dancing experience into account. Maybe they saw him as more of a professional, and it might defeat the point if they gave it to a dancer rather than a complete novice. I don’t agree with it! But that’s my theory..
That leotard though...
D A R I U S
i.e. the lesser-known Bettis in the world of pro football.
darius deserved better u cannot tell he did not deserve to win
Darius was cheated.......PERIODT!!!
glee vibes!! anyone?😂
Glee already did this
I know you did not just cheat Darius like that.
Anyone else getting "The Playbook" with Dwayne Johnson vibes, or is that just me?
I live right by canton
What was the point of having this dance if Darius doesn't win? 😒
JUSTICE FOR DARIUS
0:39
I was liking the video until Darius got cheated 🤦🏾♀️ Edit: But I'm proud of all boys
