Hip Hop Dance Clips -
The Rehearsals
The next phase in the production of hip hop dance clips are the rehearsals - The position and infusion of the perfect energy...
At this point the dancers have been chosen. From the hundred that came we're now left with a select group of dancers that will participate in the hip hop dance clips. (Each time the group is different- sometimes there are 20 , sometimes 5, it depends on how many are needed.) Now we are at the hard part of the rehearsals.
The choreographer teaches the whole dance, positions the dancers in various structures, teaches them transitions from one to the other, entrances on to or exits off of the stage. This is a long and diverse process. The choreographer might place a segment in a certain way, see it and then change his mind even a thousand times.... It's natural, when he sees something in his mind and then it's performed in front of him looking different form what he had imagined. He might like it and he might not, this is also what rehearsals are for.
A professional dancer needs to know how to work in many layers, and with many different people. He/she needs to be prepared for the fact that there will be changes to absorb.
In a unison section a dancer has to know how to work within a group, feel the other dancers and keep the same beat and movement. And all of this on top of keeping in line with the group and specific and exact structures. All this time smiling.
my 2 cents...
The work of a dancer is difficult, but the work is done from the heart, from the soul and the love of dancing.....That's what turns hardships into challenges and what makes the experience.
