im relieved that now she has a better sleep schedule then last time she was here 😅
but it’s julliard girl! u gotta thrive there so better get some sleep

[elenaedmiston]

i’m so genuinely happy you had her on again! i was so sad whenever i found out she didn’t have a youtube channel because her week long clog was so great! i understand though she has so much to do in just a day! <3

[Fandomonium]

Kayla is a STARRR 😭❤️. She won two national titles last summer at NYCDA and the dance awards with one of the best pieces I’ve ever seen

[summmerrjohnson]

Kayla is THAT girl 🤩🥺 herself discipline, commitment and TALENT inspires me hats off for the queen

[TheBeautyBabe]

She needs a YouTube channel. I still watch her first video it keeps me motivated when I’m training.

[wellzee]

I fr watched the video you posted on her 2 years ago about 10 times! Love this <3

EDIT: thank you for all the likes

[muhanyu]

I feel so happy for her that she lives in a healthier way now, I mean her sleep time, cause I was hooked by how little she slept in the earlier video when she is in high school. Anyway, feel so happy for her and love her so so much! Btw, I can't imagine sleeping 6 hours a day, I, personally, have to sleep 9 hours to stay sane. I was 14 though...

[clamy]

The fact that I watched the video posted 2 years ago probably 20 times, and even watched it again today, 6 hours ago... 😂😅


Man I'm so happy there's a new video about her 😂

[evangelyn]

she is literally my inspiration. PLEASE make her videos a series, i watched her last one like five times!

[michete]

Her reaching her dream is so inspiring she's so happy!!!! Such a beautiful and infectious smile

[kay-myfk]

glad I wasn't the only one who watched her last videos like 20 times. it really gave me a sudden burst of motivation each time <3

[matchai]

omg i remember watching the old video of her like 2 years ago, can’t put my mind around how much she has grown. such a well spoken and gorgeous woman

[graxe]

I watched the same thing 2 years ago- this is crazy- shes insane- her beauty never changed

[nvvyrk]

I was so eager to see what Kayla has been up to! I can't believe someone so talented can also be so humble and sweet. She's the best

[Coco-ibut]

I met Kayla at a convention and she is the best dancer I have ever seen. She brings so much energy to the room! So inspired

[dakotaskong]

Her describing learning the alternate techniques of dance as a “foreign language” is accurate and such a good way to describe it

[kassandra]

Love her! She’s such an amazing dancer and such an incredible person! I was so excited to see a new video about her!

[rita]

So happy to see her back!!! I watched the first video over and over again when it came out, she’s such a beautiful dancer and has an amazing personality

[DorothyOzmaLover]

Kayla is a true rising star that's getting very skilled and deserves to be in big performances.

[mugglepotato]

I’m glad she has a better sleep schedule now. Congrats on getting into Julliard, Kayla!!
