Kickin' it old school with J.B. Varsity's choreography set at HipHop International! Locking is seen in the hiphop scene but not necessarily hiphop, an 80's dancestyle.
Brandon Harrel aka 747's new choreography he recently released. Lookat dat control.
Academy of Swag's entry at HipHop International. It really shows that with clean choreography and with a large crew, it can appear strong along with being artistic. These guys play with amazing levels and create an interesting visual story.
Les Twin's entry at HipHop International exhibiting NewStyle Hiphop. Intense body control and isolation, a great example all around.

The problem is that AoS has too big a crew, and their choice of outfit and presentation wrote them into a corner in terms of visual interest, individual distinction, and character building. J.B. Star was far more entertaining because they allowed for more creativity and more characterization between dancers, or of the dancers as a whole. That's what really wins over audiences is not a sense of technical precision so much as a sense of creativity and fun. A comedian can't make an audience laugh with material with which they can't relate; an actor can't emote unless he or she connects with the audience, and a dancer is just a physical performance unless they do the same.
that's why Les Twins, or JabbaWockEeze, or Diversity, or RobotBoys or Remote Kontrol or Twist & Pulse are going to be the most famous among people than Flawless or Twist & Pulse Dance Academy or any of the first-round-cut dance crews on AGT.
I'd argue about stage presence, but that's opinion, so I don't pretend to be right. I'm just saying that halfway through, I got kind of bored, and I'd rather see 8 not necessarily technically perfect performers hit every note for two and a half minutes of original moves instead of three dozen dancers move perfectly cleanly for three and a half minutes while I wait for the next really big blow-me-away move.
Great stuff!
And here's a fantastic contemporary routine from this past week's So You Thnk You Can Dance: Cole dances with All-Star, Allison, to "Possibly Maybe" by Bjork.
