Competition

Welcome to the Breathe the Beat competition…

By creating a one-minute video of yourself performing a routine inspired by Breathe the Beat, and submitting it to the competition you could win some amazing prizes, including the opportunity to meet Salah and see him perform live!

The routine can be any style of dance, but you must show that you have learned from Salah’s tutorials, and incorporated elements from Breathe the Beat.

As part of the application form there is space for you to explain what has inspired your moves (i.e. mime and sound like in Tutorial #1: Music of Life.) Any genre of dance is welcome; watch Tutorial #2: Snake in the Water) and see how Roxy incorporated elements of waving into her more usual breaking style.

The competition is open until February 29 2012, so if would prefer to wait until all the tutorials have been released, that’s fine, but it’s ok to enter now too. Taking elements from all five tutorials in a minute might be difficult, so concentrating on a single element is encouraged. You can enter as many videos as you want, but only one will be considered for the shortlist.

The competition is open to everybody, regardless of age or ability. The entries will be judged on a range of factors, including popularity and quality, but, importantly, they will also be judged on how well you use elements from the tutorials. A complete beginner who can show they’ve taken inspiration from Salah’s tutorials will beat a professional who hasn’t watched the videos and just records some great moves! So it is important to remember to include an explanation of your performance in the description of your video.
