Many people may argue that, when it comes to talent, one needs lots of time and experience to perfect their craft. But the video below is here to prove that that really isn’t the case. How so? It shows two young children, Artyon and Paige, only ten years old, performing to the popular song, ‘Footloose’ by Kenny Loggins, and it is something that’ll leave you speechless.
The performance took place on “America’s Got Talent,” in 2017, and had the judges on their feet in approval, and a crowd bursting with cheer and beaming with smiles.
It begins with Paige standing on the table where the judges are seated. She’s wearing a beautiful pink dress that swirls around as she moves and displays her immense talent and energy. Then, she joins her friend, Artyon, on stage, where the pair goes ahead and dances like it’s the most effortless and fun activity ever. They’ve both got big smiles and tons of energy that is radiated throughout the entire venue.
Together, they do a combination of impressive dance moves, along with backflips, and an impressive number of turns—something usually only professional ballerinas are capable of! Then finally, Artyon lifts Paige into the air, and they both end by doing the splits!
The cherry on the cake, however? Even Simon, a judge notoriously known for being hard-to-please, can be seen bopping his head in enjoyment! So, it goes without saying that these two extremely talented and passionate dancers made it through to the next round, giving several other amazing performances in the shows that followed.
I want to take a moment to commend both Paige and Artyon’s families for helping them perfect their craft at such a young age. When children express interest in something it is a parent’s job to help them hone those skills and be the best version of themselves. I don’t think it would be possible for these two talented dancers to be dancing at this level, had mom and dad not taken them to dance practice, helped them practice discipline, and even bring them onto this show!
