"On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Safi Thomas from the Blade Academy here in New York City. These are my dancers from the Blade Academy and Hop Dance Conservatory, and we're here to today to teach you about hip hop dance audition techniques. Now again, while through the clarity stage, you want to pay attention to the elements that that particular choreographer is using. Are they incorporating real hip hop foundations like popping or are they including another foundation like breaking or something like that? Pay attention to the element and dynamic of the dance. The dynamic or the energy that the choreographer puts into each movement section. Moving on the next segment. 5, 6, 7, and. Now remember, if you pay attention to things like the feet and the arms. When you came up on that foot you came up all the way on the toe. It's not on the ball of you foot, it's on the toe. Watch it carefully. All the way up on the toe, not the ball of your foot."
