He's phenomenal, I remember seeing this audition back then. Plus he was comedic and had so much poise, it's definitely not easy. Cool twist on popping, definitely inspiring!!
I remember watching this audition on TV. It was so insane to watch this guy perform. He didn't go very far in the overall competition but his animations were so sick in that day and age.
Everything about this dance is still priceless. The look on the judges faces. The laughs are legit because this was truly difficult to comprehend at the time.
You guys are forgetting that this was in 2009.... Back then that was so sick because nobody danced like that before, now everyone can do that and way more but you got to respect the old dancers cuz they the ones who started it
+Darrell Beausivoir popping started back in 1970's maybe even earlier its called G-style. and after that the electric boogaloos created the boogaloo style. those are the real Old dancers which you should respect. search it up bro.
+Darrell Beausivoir 2009??? dude you are WAYYYYY off xD its been going since the 70s and was huge in the 80s especially died out in 90s came back late 2000s xD its not new and hasnt progressed like you think it has
For the people who are saying this isn't dancing, look a the definition. dancing: move rhythmically to music, typically following a set sequence of steps. "their cheeks were pressed together as they danced"
+Anthony L it's dancing. it's popping. this guy is ok, but there are way better. look up for pacman, mike song and di moon zhang. then you will notice why it's dancing.
+Bunnylambe yes you're correct - it is technically dancing - but it's old. this is yesterday's news. I was actually expecting intense progressive performance art. this is just breaking and popping - it's a little to 1980's for me.
Oh the memories...seriously, one of the best auditions of all time! Wish he didn't give up on himself in Vegas, or wish he came back a season or two later after training other styles.
It may not seen as impressive now but back in 2009 when this was made , these were fresh and new moves. Now many of these moves were overused, everybody does them. RESPECT to the pioneers.
Joyful Amoeba Not necessarily. Greenteck is the best popper in the world right now and he only has a few thousand subs. Robert has the SYTYCD exposure, but bboy is just a thing of the eighties ,as far as mainstream culture is concerned. The thing about poppers is that they are more about the battle, and the prize money that pays the rent. It's a way of life, more than just a form of art. This is what Robert is about. That's why I love popping and not modern fluff dance.
This was old youtube days, where back then, he was considered the best dancer ever, or could've been. Nowadays though, there's now tons of great epic dancers in videos on RUclips, so now alot of us have gotten accustomed to seeing stuff like this on epic levels.
I don't even dance my thing nearly as good as he dances his. But I dance, he doesn't. What an artist, for sure, a choregraphist even, but that is not dance.
What I just HATE is having a dance act on, you know, something where you have to watch the performer, but the director thinks it is more entertaining to watch the judges. If that is the skill that is required, I want to be a TV director.
This would’ve been more appreciated with some other judges I know who these people are and the show but he paygrades way above them but ultimately we knew he was just on the wrong kind of dancing show 😅😅😅 they don’t know half of what this man was really out there doing 🔥🔥🔥
+Antoine Dennison Brother this is not a unique style its called Poppin and Lockin originated and performed by brothers (blacks) prior to this performance. I give him props though for putting his own little spin on it.
john papple "Dance is the art of movement of the body, usually rhythmically and to music using prescribed or improvised steps and gestures." Even animals "dance" (mating dances). So yeah. It is. :o)
This may have been pretty amazing at the time, which it still is, but now there are other animation dancers that are much more impressive than him. You know, like Kida, JujuBeatz, Jaja, Fik-Shun, Les Twins, Phoenix Lil Mini, Poppin' Jun, Lil Motormouth, Merrick, Tekboi J, etc. There's a lot that are on a whole other level now.
This was amazing 7 years ago, at the time people would've said he was the greatest dancer but now? Times changed this is nothing now, still good but not world class
I'm not sure how *you* play chess, but most people play it sitting down. So no, you wouldn't be dancing. If you was doing an interpretative dance and THEN moving your piece, then yeah you'd be dancing.
It's been 12 years.. and still "The best Audition of Dance" Ever.. Respect to this legend.
12?
@@T1LL3R Ofcourse, it's in the video.. officially favourite dancer of 2008..
Right!!
You right
Ye, insane😱
He's phenomenal, I remember seeing this audition back then. Plus he was comedic and had so much poise, it's definitely not easy. Cool twist on popping, definitely inspiring!!
That male judge seemed so natural and honest, it was so cool to see a judge like him, so nice and genuine.
I remember watching this audition on TV. It was so insane to watch this guy perform. He didn't go very far in the overall competition but his animations were so sick in that day and age.
it still is to this day, ten years later
this still goes hard and it’s been 10 years
How old are you now 35!

Oh the memories...seriously, one of the best auditions of all time! Wish he didn't give up on himself in Vegas, or wish he came back a season or two later after training other styles.
14 years now and still the best audition
I was mesmerized, both by his moves and his interpretation of the music. To the nay sayers, he is an entertainer in the purest sense of the word.
Though some might not want to admit it, I believe this to be the modern mime. Art is art. This is wonderful. Simply brilliant.
He has amazing isolation skills. Keeping a certain part of his body still while the rest does something else. It takes a lot of practice.
I can still come and watch this performance and be blown away ... awesome!!
Yessir!!!
I love his choice of music. My favourite type of art is that that delivers so much with no words or expressions said :)
5:56 xD
To all those who say that's not dancing: Dancing is Art - and this guy is a brilliant artist.
It may not seen as impressive now but back in 2009 when this was made , these were fresh and new moves. Now many of these moves were overused, everybody does them.
RESPECT to the pioneers.
After 12 years i watch again and again. And I'm thrilled! The best dance over 15 years!!!!
Excellent. I love the ending. He and Nigel demonstrate how great this guy is with others. He'll be able to rock it with the other dancers👍👍👏👏👌👌
LOVE HIM! I remember watching this in 2009 and its unforgettable!
12years back he lighted a fire🔥
Its still burning..

I really like the music. Catchy beat, a little hypnotic. I could get a lot of work done with my headphones on.
2020 and still as amazing as the first 323 times I´ve watched the legend!
I watched this on tv in 2008 and he was my favorite dancer in SYTYCD too! Man I miss these old judges :(
I swear he looks like spencer from icarly

Good lord. Watching this guy dance on LSD would be unfathomable. It freaks me out.
Wow haven't tried that yet ,😹👽
I feel like a challenge has been set.
OMG I LOVE THIS GUY!
I only hate they constantly film the judges because, WE DON'T GIVE A F WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
He is sooo frigging interesting.
TIMELESS i will watch this dance in 20 years time,and still be just as impressed!!!!!

He's my favorite. Periodically I practice my robot moves in the shower.
Now this is physical discipline, an art form that should be preserved and taught, amazing movements.
Me in 2019 I can’t even do a sit-up anymore and this man just did one and stood up without using his hands
Why can't we watch this video anymore? Everything i try to play it it says we are processing this video plz check back later, and it never works

Smooth transition between the moves. These are just gestures one after another.

Feldwebel Blitz I don't know man, kinda hard to figure how else you would dance to this kind of music.
Aethgeir You made a point, more so than the others who commented before you.
1:55 I really thought he was gonna come straight up
At 5:27, I like how he reached to hug Nigel first instead of the ticket. Connecting with Nigel was more important than getting the ticket.
Love this dance it's so amazing and funny very nice
Love video alot he dance good
Dope.
Awesomeness! !!!! Lol
I wanna see you dance James Lapierre ;-)!
