0:00:23 > 0:00:25Let's find out.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hello, and welcome to Alesha's Street Dance Stars
0:00:52 > 0:00:53and the first of our semi-finals.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57We've really raised the stakes in today's show,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59as each of our three crews will be performing twice.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02They've all had to learn a brand new street dance routine,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04plus a special performance
0:01:04 > 0:01:06inspired by a dance style they're not used to.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10The judges gave them this challenge to really test their dancing skills,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13as each crew wants to take the next step to being crowned
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Alesha's Street Dance Stars 2011, and take home this fantastic trophy.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Here are the people our crews need to impress.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30These are our judges. Give it up for Kenrick!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32APPLAUSE
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Lizzie!
0:01:34 > 0:01:35APPLAUSE
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And the madman, Turbo!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40APPLAUSE
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Kenrick, with only nine crews left in the contest,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46the standard is so high.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50What do the semi-finalists need to do to stand out today?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52They need to stand out - exactly what you say.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56So this time round - I know I can speak for the judges -
0:01:56 > 0:01:58we're not holding back.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The judges will be scoring on technique, choreography
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and showmanship. And, as always, in the event of a tie,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07head judge Kenrick will decide who goes through.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09CHEERING
0:02:09 > 0:02:13To help, the judges have invited a few people who all know
0:02:13 > 0:02:15how nervous they must be feeling.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18From Diversity, please welcome Perri and Jordan!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:21 > 0:02:24You all right? Thanks for being here.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Jordan, why do you think street dance has become so popular?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Um...
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Personally, I think because of shows like this.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35It gives street dance a great platform to show what we do,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and because of that, more people want to get involved.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I agree. Perri, you've danced all over the world
0:02:40 > 0:02:43in high-pressure situations. How do you keep your nerves in check?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I just get dressed, warm up, and as soon as I go on stage,
0:02:47 > 0:02:52the crowd put so much adrenaline into you and you just feed off that.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Thank you for being here, guys.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Thank you. Give it up for Perri and Jordan!
0:02:57 > 0:02:58CHEERING
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Up first, the performance they've all been really nervous about,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07as it incorporates a style of dance they're not used to.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09And that style is...
0:03:21 > 0:03:22CHEERING
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Wow, I cannot wait to see the performances.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Our three resident judges are the kings and queen of street,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32but today, they've asked for a bit of help from a rock'n'roll expert.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Please welcome our guest judge, Bev Lewis!
0:03:36 > 0:03:37CHEERING
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Hi, Bev. Nice to see you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43What do you want to see from our crews today?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Well, rock'n'roll is a high-energy dance,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48so I'm looking for lots of energy, lots of bounce
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and maybe the odd rock'n'roll acrobatic move would be impressive.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53OK, thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Now, backstage, Perri and Jordan caught up with our first crew
0:03:56 > 0:03:59to find out how tough the rock'n'roll challenge has been.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03It's our only all-girl crew today - Shockarellas!
0:04:03 > 0:04:04CHEERING
0:04:04 > 0:04:08You have the rock'n'roll challenge. It's not your genre of dance,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10but how did you feel when you were given it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14We felt happy because it was a new different style and a challenge.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17So how did you go about preparing?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Our dance teacher made us watch old videos of the style.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25How were your rehearsals? Comical? Serious?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27We only had a short amount of time,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31so our rehearsals were very serious, but fun at the same time.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57# Let me come and get up on it Show me that you really want it
0:04:57 > 0:05:01# I want to be the one to let me love you, let's go, let's go
0:05:01 > 0:05:03# I wanna provide this loving that you're giving
0:05:03 > 0:05:05# I ain't frontin' in this love but
0:05:05 > 0:05:08# Can you let me love you from your head to toe?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12# A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop a-wop-bam-bam Tutti Frutti, oh, Rudy,

0:05:33 > 0:05:35APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Kenrick, what did you think?- Mm!
0:05:41 > 0:05:45That was very, very, very, very nice.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I like the way you incorporated the rock'n'roll in your sequence
0:05:48 > 0:05:51and made sure you kept the street as well.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Costumes, everything's looking really nice.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Someone has truly come to win.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:05:59 > 0:06:02OK, Bev, how well do you think they did?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Wow, I was blown away, actually. That was awesome.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08That was really good.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I thought you made a real effort with your costumes,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16very rock'n'roll. I loved the acrobatic moves you put in,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I saw you do some rock steps, spins, your partner work was amazing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I was really impressed. Well done.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Give it up for Shockarellas!
0:06:24 > 0:06:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Next up, seeing if they can bust a boogie-woogie, it's Wiked!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You're a street-dance group.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36How difficult are you finding the transition to rock'n'roll?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39We're excited, cos rock'n'roll is similar to street dancing.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42If we got ballet, it'd be completely different.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44So it's been exciting but hard at the same time.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Has anyone experienced rock'n'roll?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50None of us, but our choreographer has,
0:06:50 > 0:06:51so we find we've got an advantage.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53In all your performances till now,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55you haven't used any flips or tricks.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Is it going to be the same for your rock'n'roll routine?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01We still haven't used any tricks or flips,
0:07:01 > 0:07:02but we've used some lifts,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06so hopefully it'll be enough to win the specialist dance award.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09# One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
0:07:09 > 0:07:11# Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Bev, what did you think of the performance?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Again, you blew me away. That was amazing.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20CHEERING

0:08:27 > 0:08:29CHEERING
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Lizzie, did they impress you? - You guys were awesome today,
0:08:32 > 0:08:37you really pulled it out the bag, and considering it's not your style,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40it was brilliant, and you were consistent the whole way through.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Give it up for Wiked, everyone!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Now, this next crew had our judges smiling
0:08:47 > 0:08:49throughout their performance at the heats.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Swapping their swagger for swing is the Minions.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Guys, you've been given rock'n'roll.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Obviously it's not your element - how do you feel about it?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's been challenging, but fun. And difficult.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Has it been hard making that transition?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07You've got to get the beat-boy out of you and put the funk in.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Have you done any extra prep, any extra research for it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Our choreographer made us
0:09:12 > 0:09:17watch really random movies, like Grease and John Travolta.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18It was just random!
0:09:25 > 0:09:30# We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35# Well, it's eight, nine, ten, 11 too

0:10:23 > 0:10:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Turbo, how did that performance do?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35That looked like so much fun.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I mean, you guys... You...
0:10:37 > 0:10:39CHEERING
0:10:39 > 0:10:42You guys didn't look like you were having fun - you WERE fun!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46You were enjoying yourself on stage, the radio piece at the beginning,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I was thinking, "What are you going to pull out the bag this time?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53"Let's see what radio station we go to this time!"
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You guys pulled it off.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58And the end bit as well - aw, man, I just...
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Boom, tsh, tsh, tsh!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01CHEERING
0:11:05 > 0:11:07That was sick. Well done, guys. That was sick.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Thanks, Turbo. Bev, how did you rate their performance?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Well, rock'n'roll's traditionally a partner dance, so I was looking
0:11:14 > 0:11:17and not seeing any girls and I was wondering how you would pull it off.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20But you actually did something really clever -
0:11:20 > 0:11:23you took the essence of rock'n'roll and managed to make it your own.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27The choreography was really good. Well done, guys.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28CHEERING
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Give it up for the Minions!

0:12:18 > 0:12:22Bev will reveal which group she thought did the jive justice,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25and present them with a special recognition award.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Bev, how hard was it to make a decision?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29That was so hard.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32They were all amazing. High energy.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35They've certainly done their homework, their research.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I was so impressed.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Can you tell us which crew has won the special recognition award?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I can. The crew who has won the special recognition award is...

0:15:20 > 0:15:24You ladies have been very consistent. Very consistent.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I'm just amazed by the talent.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I'm really amazed at the level that these ladies are,

0:15:40 > 0:15:43You guys are all as strong as each other,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and I could see different styles from your last routine,
0:15:46 > 0:15:47which was great.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50As Kenrick said, you're very consistent, and I'm always
0:15:50 > 0:15:54looking forward to seeing you guys and what you're going to bring next.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56You're really good.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Good comments. OK, Turbo, finish us off.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07What's incredible is you guys come on stage very mature and strong.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Like, you guys are powerful on stage.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12There was a little handstand bit that happened at the beginning
0:16:12 > 0:16:15where your legs went one side and then all the way to the back,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and then they came back to the other side.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48- and I think we really bonded together as a group.- Cool.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Me and Jordan thought the comments from the judges were really good,
0:16:52 > 0:16:53but what do you think?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57I thought Turbo's and Kenrick's were really good, cos they said
0:16:57 > 0:17:00we were consistent and they made us happy.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Did it feel different in the semi-finals?- A lot more pressure,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07cos only one crew's going through this time instead of three.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Lizzie was impressed by their unity in the heats.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Hoping to be on point once again, they're on standby to perform,

0:18:54 > 0:18:56# I asked him for a dance He said, "Yes, please"...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Lizzie, start us off, please.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Wow, I was not expecting that from you guys.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The beginning was so strong, you came on with so much swagger
0:19:19 > 0:19:22and I didn't know you had that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25You switched from so many different styles, from locking,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28into house, back into swagger, and you played on different things,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32you didn't just stick to one style which you're great at.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34You did all the styles. Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35CHEERING
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Amazing. Brilliant.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Good comments from Lizzie. Turbo?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm going to get picky, a bit of criticism.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Some of you, when it came to that locking session,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49someone was thrown. I know you do it to a fast track,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53but I could see hands were probably not reaching where they need to be.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58But I have to say, that beginning, I was biting my teeth
0:19:58 > 0:20:01through my lips and my gums and my tongue!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04And the roof of my mouth, and my dreads! Ooh!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07That was some... Oooh!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Like a volcano - ka-bam!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Amazing comments from the judges so far.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Kenrick, finish us off, please.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16For me, as a street dancer,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I think it's very important to show the versatility,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22as a group and as a dancer,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25and I feel Wiked today really showed how versatile they were
0:20:25 > 0:20:26with that performance.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I would say definitely that was a competitive piece,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38you knew the stakes, you knew what needed to be brought
0:20:38 > 0:20:40to this round especially,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and you've achieved that very well. Well done.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well done, guys! Give it up for Wiked! Woo!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Well done, guys!- Well done, guys!
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- You guys smashed it!- It was good.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So did it feel different in the semi-finals?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Was it harder compared to the earlier stages?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Yes, it was harder. We had to learn two different dances,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03one rock'n'roll and one street dance - two different styles.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06No matter what happens now, you got into the final nine,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08you're semi-finalists, you must be proud.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12We are proud of each other because of all the hard work we've put into it
0:21:12 > 0:21:14and getting to this point has been amazing.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I hope we get into the finals but if we don't, it's OK -
0:21:17 > 0:21:19we got to the semi-finals, that's good.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24At the heats, Kenrick said this crew were grounded, tight and strong.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It was enough to get them in today's semi-final,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29it's The Minions.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:31 > 0:21:33The next crew is...
