Third Answer
"How can a hip hop dancer best prepare a routine for an audition?"
"Freestyle dancing can help you highlight certain moves you did that can be used for your dance routine."
-Randomly doing any moves to the beat of a song can help get your mind and creativity going.
-Freestyle dancing always helps you be original when it comes to planning your dance choreography and not look like a copy of one.
-When you make a mistake, freestyle dancing helps improvise dance steps to help you get back on track with the group.

Advisory Meeting #2
"How can a hip-hop dancer best prepare a routine for an audition?"
Answer 2:
Taking hip-hop classes helps you find ideas on how you are going to make your routine.
-Example 1: As you you follow the teacher's moves in class, you'll learn more moves and become more familiar with them.
-Example 2: Hip-hop teachers may throw out some random steps and moves that help you think of better moves in place of the teacher's random move.
-Example 3: You can think of better teaching methods to get your moves taught to the dancers more efficiently.

Independent Component 2 Approval
1. I will be going around doing a survey with random people on what they would like to see in hip-hop dance and if they are more interested in the beat of a song, lyrics, or musicality, however this will not count for any hours. Starting my 30 hours, I will be applying the people's response by filming myself dancing a bit according to the responses. I will also work more on my dance routine that I've been working on with the junior back in IC 1 by editing some moves according to the people's responses and/or how I think after recording ourselves
2. I would be showing pictures and short clips to prove evidence of my 30 hours.
3. This helps me explore my topic more in depth because I'm actually asking what the audience likes to see in a choreo and taking them into consideration when polishing up the dance routine
4. Done
