3. Single Dancer Focus

Dancers In The Spotlight: Not to be confused with the Singles Routine theme, these videos focus on a specified dancer within a routine, performance, or battle. 

Tactics to Implement:

• Camera Focus: A core component of these clips is how the camera focuses, and follows, the highlighted dancer. Although subtle, it drives the user’s focus.  
• Among The Crowd: Another key differentiator within this category is how in each video, a crowd is shown but never in a way that obstructs the highlighted dancer. In some cases, the dancer quickly engages with the spectating crowd showing the friendly and fun nature of the street dance community. 

Top Format:

• Length: 0:35 & 0:16
