How Nika Kljun killed it in The X Factor

A particularly enticing episode of The X Factor involves the casting of a handful of elite dancers from the world over. A not-so-surprising standout was Nika Kljun, the object of most appreciative praise in the comments section of the viral video of the auditions.

Clad in a loose cropped shirt, a fringed skirt, and killer heels, the Slovenian dancer/choreographer edged out the competition with striking accents to her dance and high-energy moves that washed out her fellow dancers into an inconsequential chorus. Her flowing platinum blond hair was tossed to the beat, proving that, as a professional dancer, every bit of her dances.

Auditioning for The X Factor may be superfluous by the standards of her personal success. Dancers are often painted to the background of high-wattage performances. They are supporting roles next to Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, or Madonna. Kljun, however, became famous for her dancing. She has been dancing since the tender age of three, picking up the fish-in-water feel of the craft from her parents’ dance school in her hometown. Her range is defined by a lifetime of exposure --- ballroom, Latin, jazz, and tap all culminated in a good kinesthetic feel for hiphop and other modern dances.

The global turn of her fame is attributed to her endorsement of Nike, icing on her weightier stints in shows such as The X Factor and Dancing with the Stars. She has also worked with best-selling artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Pitbull, and T-Pain.
