Some people are just born with it and 7-year-old dancer Skylar Blu is absolutely one of them. Skylar wowed Britain’s Got Talent with her contemporary dance routine to Leona Lewis’s “Footprints in the Sand.” The kid has got some serious talent and began her audition with a graceful ballet routine. When the song fired up, Skylar kicked into the next gear and really amazed the crowd with some athletic jumps, spins, and a series of elegant dance moves.
Skylar’s opening interview with Judge Alesha Dixon was just too adorable, but she definitely has a lot more than the aww factor. She just has that special connection with the music, and you can really tell that she lives and breathes dance. When someone really loves what they do, it makes their performances magical to watch, and needless to say, she has all the technical skills down pat too.
Skylar’s season 15 audition was quite the hit, and 14 million viewers tuned in on YouTube. Viewers showed their support for the young talent with comments such as “My kid goes to the same dance school as Skylar. She is insanely, jaw-droppingly talented, but so cute and humble with it. Lovely kid” and “I’ve seen many dance performances given by children but she stands out from the rest because you can see that she actually feels the music and isn’t just going through the steps.”
The judges had plenty of praise for Skylar’s audition, with Simon Cowell saying it was “Incredible, I mean really incredible. You have so much talent. The whole routine was absolutely immaculate.” Amanda Holden gave similar sentiments, saying “You were so graceful and so expressive. You did an amazing job.” Skylar’s second most popular video on YouTube shows a routine she performed at a dance school to Tom Grennan’s “Little Bit of Love.”
David Walliams commented next, saying, “If you’re this good at seven, my goodness me. Please don’t forget us when you’re world famous, OK?” Dixon continued this line of thought, saying, “It’s such a big deal at seven years old, performing on this huge stage. But you did so well, you’re so talented, and I just can’t wait to see what happens for you in the future.”
Skylar picked up four yes votes from the judges. The young dancer was also picked for Alesha Dixon’s golden moment. Despite her smash-hit audition, Skylar only made it as far as deliberation day and was cut before the semifinals. No doubt at her young age, she’ll have plenty more opportunities to wow audiences moving forward.
