Just don't underestimate how cute and talented Savannah Manzel was on 'World of Dance' Season 4 premiere. She may have been the youngest performer amongst the contestants in the premiere episode, but her skills, talent and confidence can give many adults a run for their money. Prior to her performance, the nine-year-old dancer revealed that her mother put her in a dance class at the tender age of two since she had very high energy levels. She also revealed that when she isn't dancing, she enjoys making friendship bracelets. While she was waiting for her turn, Savannah went around the room and began handing out her cute, handmade friendship bracelets to people in the room. 

When it was her turn to meet the judges and perform for them, she wasn't even one bit dazed upon seeing Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo. She immediately began her spectacular performance to Celine Dion's 'River Deep, Mountain High'. After watching her brilliant performance J Lo immediately remarked that it looked like Savannah practiced for 15 years for her perfect performance. She then proceeded to ask Savannah how long she had been dancing. Savannah coyly replied that she had been dancing since she was two. The judges then praised her athleticism, her flexibility and her stunning looks. Derek even joked that he would be reaching out to his nieces and asking them to 'step up' after seeing Savannah. 



 

So, it came as a no surprise when all the judges unanimously decided to give their yes for the young dancer to proceed to the next round. Fans were happy with the judges' decision and couldn't get enough of just how cute and charming Savannah was. A fan tweeted, "Savannah was amazing omg i’m still speechless! Can’t wait for what’s to come #WorldOfDanceAgain  #WorldOfDance." Another fan shared, "WOOOOWWW, this little girl name Savannah is 9 years old&KILLED IT!
