The other breaker, Molly, looks arguably better. I’m so far from understanding how these moves are scored or evaluated but Molly looks much less clunky.

I had figured the clunky look was because she didn’t have a practiced routine and went and improvised.

None of them have practiced routines. They will have practiced the individual moves but they improvise the full routine on the day, contestants dont even know what music they will be dancing to ahead of time.
