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.
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.
What I loved about this is its entertaining and comedic. There aren't a lot of dancers who can make you laugh just with them moving their body to music. He's a legend for sure.
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.
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
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.
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 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 UA-cam, so now alot of us have gotten accustomed to seeing stuff like this on epic levels.
How can I ever forget this epic popping routine? Of course, this is from Season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance (don't get me wrong - I love all of the judges, but on a personal note, I think they should've enlisted an additional judge who specializes in popping). I don't hear anything of him now. I wonder is he still dancing.
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 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
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 🔥🔥🔥
It's been 12 years.. and still "The best Audition of Dance" Ever.. Respect to this legend.
12?

Right!!
You right
Ye, insane😱

That male judge seemed so natural and honest, it was so cool to see a judge like him, so nice and genuine.

The great Robert Muraine. 34 now in 2022, and of course, still dancing.
this still goes hard and it’s been 10 years
How old are you now 35!
Easily one of the best dancers i've seen.

So many dancers have taken his moves and used them in many years after this audition.
Amazing skills, and i love coming back to watch these moves 👌
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👍👍👏👏👌👌

I watched this on tv in 2008 and he was my favorite dancer in SYTYCD too! Man I miss these old judges :(
I can still come and watch this performance and be blown away ... awesome!!
Yessir!!!
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.
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.
TIMELESS i will watch this dance in 20 years time,and still be just as impressed!!!!!
After 12 years i watch again and again. And I'm thrilled! The best dance over 15 years!!!!
Though some might not want to admit it, I believe this to be the modern mime. Art is art. This is wonderful. Simply brilliant.
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.
Geez....how many times can I watch this.... :D
12years back he lighted a fire🔥
Its still burning..

RESPECT to the pioneers.
Now this is physical discipline, an art form that should be preserved and taught, amazing movements.
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 HIM! I remember watching this in 2009 and its unforgettable!
To all those who say that's not dancing: Dancing is Art - and this guy is a brilliant artist.
Man I remember watching this live on TV. How does time fly...
I really like the music. Catchy beat, a little hypnotic. I could get a lot of work done with my headphones on.
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
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.
I watched it in my school days and I was like 😱..and now it's 2022 still my reaction is the same..this dude is just next level and more deserved..

Mr Fantastic. One of the best dancers I've ever seen when I was younger.
i use to watch this video in middle school everyday. i was super obsessed with this audition
I wouldn't call this dancing, but he might be the best at whatever this is.

Perfect comment
think now he is better 😁
back when the show was relevant
Dance was fantastic... And also the laugh of that lady judge is sounding like the part of music 😙😎
The facial expressions just add loads of swag too.
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
Her laugh kind of ruined it for me...
