Step 1: Learn the below choreography.

You may watch the video by streaming here or you can download the videos from this site.

We will judge your performance based upon:

  • Accurate performance of the choreography from directions to details
  • Strength of turns (spotting and arms)
  • Hip Technique
  • Placement of arms, the energy of hands
  • Pointed feet
  • Last but not least: Performance expression

Step 2: Download music files

Step 3: Film yourself performing the choreography

Video Tips:

  • Video Quality. We know that sometimes you will not be able to get a good camera, but try and think about the video quality. 
  • If you are using an iPhone or smartphone, please make sure to film in ‘Landscape’ style. 
  • Be sure the camera is close enough to see details of your movement, and far enough so that your whole body stays in the frame. 
  • Be sure that there isn’t a bright light behind you - we need to see you as clearly as possible.
  • Wear a costume or rehearsal clothes that flatters your body type and shows off your hip movements. We also need to be able to see your feet.

Step 4: Upload your video to YouTube as 'unlisted' (or viewable with a private link on Vimeo). Be sure that your video does not require a password nor invitation to view. Do not upload your video to facebook. Copy the shareable video link.
