As you may have read in my "About Me" profile, I work for a company called MA Dance. I have been working for this company since the summer of 2006 to the present. During the summer I am a dance/baton instructor where our staff goes around to the southern states like Texas, Alabama, The Carolina's, Louisiana, and Mississippi, and teach high schoolers routines/technique. It is a fun job I must admit! I get payed to travel, meet new people, and on our days off go out to various clubs. In the spring, MA Dance hosts competitions and during these competitions I fly out on the weekends to be a judge. Now at these competitions I have noticed many times that "pop" and hip-hop music are quite the popular pick for routines. Even if the choreography is terrible, the dancers still pick these sort of songs to compete to. Yes, many dancers compete in the lyrical division too (which is more of the slower type of movement), but hip-hop is now out numbering many other divisions like pom, high-kick, jazz, and military. It seems to me that hip-hop is on the rise because of its awesome background beats and the endless opportunities the choreography has to offer for it. I especially enjoy judging the hip-hop category at competitions, so dancers...bring it on!
