Hey guys just had a question, I have auditions for Boogie Woogie coming up and I really wanted to know what kind of dance to do, and my main question was on if I should or should not include a 30 second maybe jhoomer segment. What do ya think?

If I were you, I would completely skip the gimmick and let my dancing do the speaking. In order to maximize entertainment, I would NOT do jhoomer. I would pick a high energy song that I could also show off grace. And by show off grace, I really mean, be graceful. A lot of people can be energetic, but not everyone has style and grace. Let it show in your dance, but show that you are also capable of doing high energy bhangra as well.

oh yeah and when they judge you in the auditions. They are giving you points on choreography, how much you move around, YOUr costumeeeee << important (so where what you would if you got in), and originality.
try props too for extra points.
and grace
they showed me the scoring sheet dude

Hey man, I actually made it to the semi finals in NY

I wouldn't do a jhoomer segment
In all honesty, their very modern

cover as much of the stage as possible
wear loud vardiyan/costume
They REALLY want facial expressions, and if you had to pick between difficulty of moves and cleanliness of moves, id go more with cleanliness over difficulty....

in short, they just want to put on a show. and that can be achieved in many ways
