hi guys ^^ sorry this is late, i was working on my painting. yesterday from 2-6 PM in one of the dance rooms was the hip-hop club's dance team auditions. basically, everyone was taught two pieces. with 15 minute breaks every hour and 15 mins? i think that comes out to two breaks. in the last thirty minutes, everyone was broken up into groups to perform the pieces they learned. the groups were about five people. hathor and another dance team member (maybe sekhmet, if you want, aura?) taught the dances.
breakdown of the rehearsal: 2:00 to 2:15 they did basic stretches so nobody pulled anything. x3 hopefully! 2:15 to 3:30 they learned this choreography. 3:30 to 3:45 is the first break. 3:45 to 5:00 they learned this choreography. 5:15 to 5:30 is the second break. 5:30 to 6:00 were the group performances / solo performances.
the hip-hop dance team provided water bottles during the breaks and encouraged people to rest, though people auditioning were also free to go over choreography on their own.
these are both really difficult dances to learn and perform right away, which hathor did on purpose to see how quickly people pick up on choreography and their basic movements. keep in mind that hip-hop dance is different from ballet or other classical dances in terms of aggression and focus so please make sure your characters' audition accurately reflects weaknesses and talents. not everyone will be making the team and people should take this as an opportunity to also do hilarious things with their characters, i think XD there's always the one or two people who can't dance who try out anyways.
hathor will be very upfront about what she's looking for, which is 1) personality, 2) dance talent, and 3) originality. she wants to make sure all members of the team get along so people who have annoyed her or who have difficult personalities will have to work harder than other people because she takes this "TEAM" thing super seriously. she will also have fliers out for the regular hip-hop club and encourage everyone who tries out to come out to the meetings even if they didn't make the team.
the teams will be posted asap. comment here with how your chars did and feel free to thread-hop to plot funny things that happened. maybe someone bumped into someone else or tripped, or maybe they had a good conversation during the break!
