and since I was, like, four I would watch her in recitals

with her tutus, and I would put on her tutus

and start running around the house.

And I haven't stopped.

I am so proud of Diana being here.

She's so brave.

Did you ever think you would be at this level

of competition?

No, this is a dream come true.

- This is it. - Okay.

Go do the best job ever.

It's your turn to shine.

Love.

This competition could change my life forever.

And I'm just, like, whoa.

Look at this little munchkin.

[cheers and applause]

Man.

- Diana... - Whoo-hoo-hoo.

Where are you from?

Miami, Florida.

Miami, Florida. What's your background?

Well, my parents are from Colombia.

Yes, you've got that live fire.

I can see it in you. - Thank you.

When you took your foot and looked at me backwards

and wiped your forehead with your foot...

And looked like your face was going to cry, I...

She--she's--she's pumped.

I--no, it wasn't just all the flexibility you had.

It wasn't all the strength you had.

It was the passion that you put into every move.

[cheers and applause]

Thank you.

It was incredible. I mean, I'm looking at

the scoreboard right here, and it says "performance,

technique, choreography, creativity, presentation,"

I mean, you... - Thank you.

You check all those boxes. Just fantastic.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

For me, it's never so much about the five and six

and seven and eight of it.

It's always about how it feels and the passion.

You are all passion,

which is a very, very good thing.

[cheers and applause]

I almost--I--I almost got-- you almost got me.

You almost got me. - [laughs]

- Quality work. - Thank you so much.

Quality.

Miss JLo, I just want to say that you are my idol.

Oh, don't make me cry.

You inspire people, and you inspire me as well.

- Oh, my God, baby. - Thank you so much.
