Semi Final 2 Alesha's Street Dance Stars

Last time, the Titanz secured the first spot in the Grand Final.

In today's dance-off, K.Allstar Youth, Base,

and Soul Dance Juniors will be going all-out.

Let's do it!

Only one can make it through to the Grand Final. Who will it be?

This is Alesha's Street Dance Stars.

Hello and welcome to Alesha's Street Dance Stars

and the second of our semifinals.

We have a brilliant show lined up for you today.

In just a few minutes' time,

our crews will perform two new routines.

Firstly, a special music challenge,

and secondly, a brand-new street routine.

Now, are you ready for this, guys?

AUDIENCE: Yeah!

Good stuff, because only one crew can go through to the Grand Final,

so the pressure is on.

Keeping the crews calm backstage today is the lovely Aidan Davis!

APPLAUSE

-All right?

-How are you, Aidan?

-I'm good, I'm good.

-You're looking lovely.

-I thought I'd put on a white shirt for a change.

-Very, very smart.

I think the ladies in the audience are very happy you're here.

GIRLS SCREAM

-So, obviously, you've been with the crews.

-Yeah.

-You know how they're feeling.

-Yeah.

Do you think they're going to deliver?

Definitely. They're nervous but confident at the same time,

so I reckon they're going to smash it.

Thank you so much for being with us, Aidan,

and we'll catch up with you a bit later. Give it up for Aidan!

APPLAUSE

Right, let's get on with the show.

They're the ones with all the power

and they hold the key to the grand final.

Yes, that's right. It's the judges.

Let's take a look at what they said about today's semifinalists

the last time.

-Bang!

-I don't even know what to say.

You five mean business.

You guys' tricks are nuts!

Like a little Buzz Lightyear!

You guys are all stars fo' sho'!

Raaa!

Let's welcome back our judges.

Go crazy for Dwayne!

Make some noise for Lizzie!

Show some love to Suzette!

Whoo, whoo, whoo!

And go ridonculous for Turbo!

Dwayne, this is our second semifinal. How can they impress you?

They've just got to bring it. Bring it.

Bring it on. Thank you, Dwayne.

As always, our judges are scoring on technique,

choreography and showmanship.

In the event of a tie, head judge Dwayne will decide who goes through.

Crews will be scored by our judges on both performances.

Their scores will be added together and only the highest-scoring crew

will secure a place in the Grand Final.

Now it's time for something a little bit different.

We're starting the show today with the second music challenge.

This time, the crews will perform a street dance routine

to Latin music.

We like to keep them on their toes!

Crews must lock and pop to the Latin groove

and lend their street dance moves to the maracas.

Aidan's been chatting with the first crew up today to find

if they're locked into a bongo beat. It's K.Allstar Youth!

Five, six, seven, eight.

All stars!

You're through to the semifinal. How does it feel?

It feels really, really good, but we've got hard competition,

so we're just working really, really hard.

Has it been fun doing Latin?

I've found it fun, because you're always wiggling your bum.

# Early in the morning

# When she's all alone

# I'mma take my time

# Do it how we want it

# Just to set the mood, girl

# Gonna bust some Marvin Gaye And Chardonnay

# Hold up, hold up, hold up

# Hold up, hold up, hold up

# Hold up, yeah

# She love the way

# So good she won't put

# Bottom line is, you the finest

# Gave you a new name

# My

# Hold up, hold up, whoa there

# Come on, shake your body, baby Do the conga

# I know you can't control yourself Any longer

# Come on, shake your body, baby Do the conga

# I know you can't control yourself Any longer

# Come on, shake your body, baby Do the conga

# I know you can't control yourself Any longer

# Feel the rhythm of the music Getting stronger

# Don't you fight it till you try To do that conga. #

APPLAUSE

That was fantastic!

-I love the outfits. How long did it take you to make them?

-Long.

Long? You look brilliant. Shall we see what the judges thought?

OK. Lizzie, were you impressed with that?

Great, guys. It was a great start to the show. I'm really happy with it.

You used the whole stage, and at the beginning,

for me, I think it would have been nice

if you integrated a bit more Latin with the street dance.

Both were very, very strong, and I'm really interested to see

what your street dance routine is going to be like.

Brilliant, thank you, Lizzie.

Turbo, what did you think?

Guys, a very, very, very good show.

Very good show. As in, I could watch you guys on stage.

I would pay to watch a performance like that,

because you guys really brought it out.

You really gave it to us. I could watch that over and over again.

That's lovely. Thanks, Turbo.

Make some noise for the K.Allstar Youth!

Next up is the crew who really like a challenge,

so this could be right up their street.

Swapping break beat for the bachata -

a Latin type of music - it's Base!

Base!

First of all, you are through to the semifinal. How do you feel about it?

I'm just shocked that we got through to the semifinal.

We've put so much effort into this, and our hard work has paid off.

So, you've been given the Latin theme.

Would you say your rehearsals have been fun or too hard?

Sometimes they can be too hard. Most of the time it's fun.

# Bamboleo, bambolea

# Porque mi vida Yo la prefiero vivir asi

# Bamboleo, bambolea

# Porque mi vida Yo la prefiero vivir asi

# Here and now, Let's get this straight

# Boogaloo, baby, I made it great

# Because I gave it the Latin beat

# You know, child I'm kind of hard to beat

# Just to make your feet to skate

# Pick up your arms And make them shake

# Come on, shake your body, baby Do the conga

# I know you can't control yourself Any longer

# Feel the rhythm of the music Getting stronger

# Don't you fight it till you tried To do that conga. #

Oh, that was so good!

Suzette, did they make that look easy, or what?

Yes! That's what it's all about!

You guys listened to what the whole brief was about.

The whole Latin thing with the whole street.

You guys listened, and I loved that.

At the beginning, you've got little Zorro in the middle.

Know what I mean?

You guys did the house, with the music,

and then you guys did the popping,

and you guys did the whacking,

and then you, sir, did the krumping!

The krumping!

Who would have thought that you could mix krumping

with the Latin music? That was so good, that was amazing.

Fantastic start.

Thank you, Suzette.

Dwayne.

You really embraced the challenge.

First and foremost, let's just say,

the challenge that we set you, you did it.

The humour, just the fact that he was playing his little piano,

just playing, I was like, "Oh, look at little Stevie!"

I'm not going to say any more apart from well done, ace stuff.

Oh, that's nice!

Thank you, Dwayne.

Lizzie, what did you think?

Yeah, it was fantastic.

Just the way that you integrated house with the Latin, because

house is mainly about footwork, and so is Latin, so you managed

to put them together, which was perfect.

Each and everyone of you are all strong, so just be more confident.

I can't wait to see your street dance routine.

Excellent. Thank you so much, judges. Give it up for Base!

This next crew impressed our judges with their creativity,

so let's hope it comes in handy today.

Locking to the Latin pop, it's Soul Dance Juniors!

Soul Dance Juniors!

You're through to the semifinal. How do you feel about that?

We're really excited. We just can't wait to get out there and perform.

So, you've been given the Latin theme. Are you excited to do it?

Yeah, like, we found it a change, but it was really good,

and we feel like we can do it and we're confident about the routine.

# Come on, shake your body, baby Do the conga

# I know you can't control yourself Any longer

# Come on, shake your body, baby, Do the conga

# I know you can't control yourself Any longer

# Come on, shake your body, baby Do the conga

# I know you can't control yourself Any longer

# Feel the rhythm of the music Getting stronger

# Don't you fight it till you tried To do that conga beat. #

Well done!

Well done, guys.

Turbo, where you feeling the Latin vibes?

I was feeling it the beginning, that intro bit, where you guys

came out individually, like "Hey, this is me!"

I saw, individually, you guys had your own little flavour on it.

One thing I would have liked to have seen was a routine all together,

probably a little bit longer,

and fuse the street dance with the Latin a little bit more.

Other than that, I love the way you use each other.

When it comes to the point when you started to walk across,

the little flipping, you,

you're talking to every single girl in the line. I see!

Thanks, Turbo.

Lizzie.

I can see what you were trying to create.

For me, it was a bit of an intro, and then I was waiting for the rest,

and then you don't have as long to do it, because when you guys

were doing that amazing pas-de-deux section where, instead of doing

Latin, you were doing more hip-hop or more breaking, lifts and stuff,

which is brilliant, and I take my hat off because they're very hard,

what you guys were doing, but I think if you guys had done that

in the centre, and the other guys were enhancing it on the side by

doing street moves, it would have just made it more of a piece,

rather than an intro, but other than that, great effort, well done.

Well done, guys. I thought you were fabulous.

Let's hear it for the Soul Dance Juniors!

All three semifinalists have batted it out to the Bolera - Latin music.

While we verify the scores,

here's a quick look back at the Latin performances.

All of our crews have done brilliantly well.

The judges have scored them for their Latin music performance

and those points will be added to their score at the end of the show.

Do you want to see some street dance?

AUDIENCE: Yeah!

Me, too. The crews will now perform a brand-new street routine.

First up, their performance was described by Turbo as

"beyond ridonculous" at the qualifiers.

So Dwayne went to Essex to watch them perfect their technique.

That's right, it's the K.Allstar Youth!

Hello, guys!

SCREAMS

-Oh, my gosh, you lot scream. Ready for the masterclass?

-Yeah!

These guys were so good, I can't wait to see them today.

-Are you guys feeling good?

-Yeah.

-Are you ready to dance for me?

-Yeah!

Yeah? Are you going to teach me something?

Yeah.

We'll be back.

K.Allstar Youth, in the qualifiers, were just amazing.

They were just so on point, clean, precise.

The best way I feel they can use what I taught them today

is to be creative.

Be yourself on the stage. That's what I want.

Again, let's go again!

I really enjoyed seeing these guys today.

I can't wait to see them in the semis.

Yeah, that is nice. I love that, too.

I want to see them excel, and be better than themselves.

I can't wait.

As they say in Spanish, gracias.

Very, very nice. Dwayne.

OK, you see, what I love about you guys

is that you just really excite me.

When you guys dance, I just want to be there with you,

I want to be on the stage and say, "Show me!"

And they did. Well done, I really enjoyed that, guys.

Thank you.

Lizzie.

You guys rock. Like, every part of you I enjoy so much.

Like, I loved the bit where, at the end,

when you were krumping, pulled you through the arch and then bam!

At the end, you on top of her shoulders.

I didn't know that was going to happen,

and there's always something going on. Well done.

Thanks, Lizzie. Suzette.

Allstars!

Baby Nicky Minaj, yeah. You are amazing!

I couldn't take my eyes off you!

Seriously, there was a bit where you went into the middle

and I was just like, "Where is she? I want to see more of her!"

From last time when I saw you, you guys really did step it up,

and you guys should be really proud.

Yeah. Thanks, Suzette.

Turbo.

Guys, you guys really know how to perform.

You really know how to command that stage.

Your krumping, madam. Mmm, gosh! Whoo!

Amazing.

You are strong. Guys, very, very good performance.

I could watch you guys all day.

You guys are fantastic. Make some noise for the K.Allstar Youth!

Right, you absolutely smashed that.

You, you little Nicky Minaj, with your krumping, little angry face.

Scared me a little bit.

What I want to know is how much work you put into that routine.

Er, we put loads and loads of work into that routine.

We gave up so many things just to put into that routine.

It's really good.

Everyone, give it up for K.Allstar Youth!

Lizzie said that our next crew meant business at the qualifiers.

Suzette went to Kent on her best behaviour to see them

working on their freestyling. You guessed it, it's Base!

Hey, you all right?

You guys ready for the masterclass?

Base really impressed me. I can't wait to work with them again.

Bop! Booyah!

With Base, they've got the moves on lock.

They know the foundation really well.

All they just need to do is just have that confidence on stage.

When you guys perform, make sure you're performing,

you're having fun on stage.

Even if it's three minutes long, and you're tired, still smiling.

"I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm still going!"

I'm really impressed with the group.

They look as if they was having fun, which is a good thing. I love them.

I think they're amazing.

Five, six, seven, eight! Tap!

If they just take their time, if they just listen to their music,

and if they have that confidence on stage, they can go far.

One, two, three, Base!

# I see your face and stop and stare

# Mama, Lord knows I care

# So I ball so hard ... want to fine me

# First ... gotta find me

# What's 50 grand to a m... like me Can you please remind me?

# Ball so hard, this ... crazy

# Y'all don't know That don't ... faze me

# The Nets could go 0-82 and I look at you like ... gravy

# At, at, at, at, at, at night

# At, at, at, at, at, at night. #

Yes, Base, nicely done.

Suzette, what did you think?

I thought it was amazing! Yes, Base!

You guys are, like, the only crew,

for me, that knows the foundation within the whole street,

like, you guys, you know, you're so powerful,

that when you did your flips straight into the locking,

that was clean as.

You guys are just a crew that is all about power, and I love it.

Thanks, Suzette. Good stuff. Turbo.

There was no lyrics, there was no treble, it was just Base!

Base in the place!

Mister, you remind me of me when I was you.

Amazing, very, very strong. I enjoyed it. And your house? Yes!

Well done, guys. Loved it.

Thanks, Turbo.

Dwayne.

Do I have any critique? No.

So smooth, and then you do this power.

Where do you get this force? Where is it from?

The base! The base!

From the base!

You guys were great, seriously, I loved it.

Lizzie, what did you think?

The only critic I would say is that I want to see more from you,

because it just was a whole package, and by favourite bit was

the house, that is my favourite bit, and the locking was great.

I love it, it's great.

You did amazing. Guys, give it up for Base!

Wow, you did amazing. Suzette and Turbo mentioned about the foundation.

Is that something you've been working on from when you were younger?

We've been working on it since we were younger, but we would

never have been able to do it without our dance teacher, Val.

So, everyone, give it up for Base!

After qualifiers, their tricks left Lizzie a little bit speechless,

so Turbo went to Sheffield to see if our next crew

could teach him a thing or two.

That's right, it's the Soul Dance Juniors!

Soul Dance Juniors live by their name.

They have soul in their movements and soul in their routines.

I can't wait for the masterclass.

-Hey, guys!

-Hey!

-Ready for your masterclass?

-Yeah!

Let's do this.

What impressed me most about Soul Dance Juniors today

in the masterclass was the way

they were ready to take in information and just get on with it.

They were open to whatever ideas or information I had to give them.

I hope, after today's masterclass, that they have more execution

in their moves, and I hope I can see that in the semifinal.

Come to me, my children!

OK, guys, I'm shooting off, but before I go, you've got to

practise and execute your moves, and most of all, have fun.

# Can you feel it?

# Can you feel it?

# Can you feel it?

# Whose house?

# Turbo's house!

# I'm fly So fly-y-y

# I'm fly So fly-y-y

# I'm up in sky

# Like an eagle in flight

# I'm fly

# So fly-y-y. #

Whose house?

Turbo's house!

-Whose house?

-Turbo's house!

Well, let's start with you, then, Turbo.

Since it's your house.

It's my house, whoo!

Better pay some rent!

Guys, well done. Like, working with you guys...

No, seriously, well done.

I can see you guys have pushed it a little bit more.

I would have liked to have seen you guys push it a bit further,

but I can see you've actually stepped up, especially with

your flips and tricks, you're starting to use each other,

you're starting to knock on, make a little story, then you're going into

a flip, rather than do one from nowhere,

so I like the fact you guys took that on board.

Your footwork, you need to work on that.

You need to work on the foundation, but with the floor section,

you did a variation of a floor move. Very, very impressive.

I'm proud of you guys. Well done.

Excellent. Happy with that, so far?

Good. Dwayne.

You lot have got so much energy when it comes to your flips

and everything else, that you're really grounded in,

so don't be afraid, when you're doing other styles,

to give it the same energy. Apart from that, it was good.

-I know you guys can do better, but well done.

-Thank you.

Lizzie.

That was great, guys. I've definitely seen

a much better improvement since last time. Very, very good.

I think the only thing missing, for me, is the formations

in your choreography, because you very much stayed in a line,

and moved the line, which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that,

but I'd just like to see you guys move around the stage more,

and just use your stage, because you have such great tricks,

but the thing is, you did your locking and your house, and stuff,

so you're very clever at putting those in,

and your locking was great.

The cannon and the knee-drop, I loved that bit.

Thank you, Lizzie.

Followed by the lovely Suzette.

Everyone's said everything, so, to be honest,

it's just like push harder, push more. Know what I mean?

Yeah. Take on the judges' comments. I'm sure they will.

Thank you so much, judges.

I think you guys did amazing.

Guys, give it up for the Soul Dance Juniors!

Well done, well done.

First of all, Turbo said that he was very impressed.

Do you think that's because you did the whole "Turbo's house" thing?

Probably half.

I think we did do a good job, and we tried our best, and we've been

putting a lot of effort in recently, so we hope it all paid off.

Everyone, give it up for Soul Dance Juniors!

Wow, what a dance-off.

Weren't they all fantastic?

AUDIENCE CHEER

Amazing. While we add up the scores and verify the results,

here's a reminder of some of the best bits.

Welcome back, K.Allstar Youth!

Base!

And Soul Dance Juniors!

Now, remember, the points from both performances

have been added together.

The results have been checked and verified and we have a finalist.

The crew with the most points

and going through to The Grand Final of Alesha's Street Dance Stars is...

..Base!

Congratulations, guys. Well done.

We look forward to seeing you in the final with another routine. OK?

Good girl.

Wow, what a brilliant semifinal this has been.

Thank you to all the crews who took part today.

A massive shout out to our fabulous judges.

APPLAUSE

-And give it up for Aidan Davis

-APPLAUSE

Join us next time to find out who will be bagging the last place

in the Grand Final of Alesha's Street Dance Stars 2012.

See you soon!

Coming up next time, there's only one place left in the Grand Final.

Legacy from Essex, Superkids from Manchester

and Future Pride from the Wirral will go head-to-head to try and claim it.
