Semi Final 3 Alesha's Street Dance Stars

Last time, Base took the second place

alongside The Titanz in the Grand Final.

Now, it's serious.

Fingers crossed.

Prepare for the ultimate battle.

Only one place remains and three crews are left.

Who will take the last place in the final?

Will it be Legacy, Superkidz or Future Pride?

This is Alesha's Street Dance Stars.

Hello and welcome to Alesha's Street Dance Stars

and the last of our semifinals.

That's right, there's only one place left in the Grand Final.

Whoever wins today's show will claim that place

and it doesn't get more nerve-wracking than this.

In just a few minutes time, our crews will go all out

to try and impress our judges.

As before, they'll each perform two new routines.

First, a special music challenge and second, an all-out street dance.

Helping the crews to prepare again today,

it's the one and only Aidan Davis!

CHEERING

How you doing, Aid?

I'm good, I'm good.

So, today's the last semifinal.

-I know, I'm a bit sad.

-How are the crews doing today?

Looking confident, acting confident, speaking confident.

I reckon they're confident.

-Thanks, Aiden.

-Thank you.

-We'll let you go and we'll catch up later.

All right.

Thank you. Give it up for Aiden.

CHEERING

Right, it's time to find ourselves a finalist.

So let's meet the four people

who will be making that crucial decision.

Here's what our judges said about today's semifinalists last time.

You guys were amazing.

That was good.

Yes! That's all I'm saying right now.

I did not expect that.

-Boom.

-You guys look too good.

Oh, that was good.

So strong. Such a strong piece.

You lot really opened this show up and it was amazing.

Let's welcome back our judges.

Give it up for Dwayne.

CHEERING

Give it up for Lizzie.

CHEERING

Give it up for Suzette.

CHEERING

And give it up for Turbo.

CHEERING

Dwayne, the crews are all battling for that place in the Grand Final.

What are you looking for today?

I want them to surprise me.

Surprise me. Shock me and the rest of the judges here.

As always, our judges are scoring on

technique, choreography and showmanship.

In the event of a tie, head judge Dwayne decides 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, this is the fun bit.

First up today it's the third music challenge.

This time the crews will perform a street dance routine

to country and western music. Yee-ha.

Crews must find their inner cowboy or girl

and street dance to the country and western "gee-tar" twang.

Aidan caught up with our first crew backstage

to see how they'd found flexing to the fiddle.

It's Legacy!

Legacy!

You were given the country and western theme/challenge.

How do you feel about that?

We were really happy when we found out we had country and western

because it's a really happy routine.

We have found it hard because

we've gone from one style to a complete different style

but I think we'll be able to pull it off.

Confidence.

That's a good look, Legacy. Hope you do really well.

CHEERING

I love your costumes. You look amazing.

-Turbo.

-Guys, well done.

Good performance. You made me smile.

Made me enjoy the performance while you were dancing.

That's a good thing.

I could see you guys enjoyed doing it as well.

When it came to line dancing, you guys started to brighten up and glow.

I think I would have liked to see you do breaking or locking

to the Cotton-Eye Joe a little more.

Thanks, Turbo. Dwayne?

I feel that you guys had the hardest challenge, in terms of country.

It doesn't have that B-line, that bass feeling so, to keep it street,

I felt, it probably, might be quite difficult.

I reckon that you did a good job, but you could've done a better job.

You're right, it is a hard one for you guys cos it's very, "Yee-ha."

Yes, it's very uppity, very "Ya-ha-way!"

Lizzie, what did you think?

What I like about you guys is that you always use one track

and use the whole stage. It was really good.

I liked the formations

and when you did the line choreography, it was great.

I feel you could've been more confident.

When you've got hats on,

if you look down, you can't see your face.

Other than that it was great.

Great energy. Keep it up.

Thanks, Lizzie.

Guys, make some noise for Legacy!

CHEERING

Now, don't be fooled by our next crew.

They may be small in size but they're big on performance.

Hip-hopping to the harmonica,

it's Superkidz!

We're Superkidz!

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

Exciting. We're just happy we got so far and I hope we can win.

You got given the country and western theme as your challenge.

Have you enjoyed putting it into a street dance?

Well, it's been hard because we normally focus on street,

but it's been enjoyable cos we've not done country and western before.

Good luck with your routine and just enjoy it.

-ALL:

-Thank you.

CHEERING

Amazing. Turbo, what did you make of that?

Super, super, super, super.

CHEERING

Great performance from the get-go,

you guys were ready to perform, ready to have fun.

You were ready to enjoy yourself. He had us doing this...

Looking at you guys in the front, enjoying it.

That's something that I love with you guys. Woo.

There's nothing else I can say,

other than, guys, well done. That was really good.

-Lizzie.

-The whole routine matched you guys

and whoever your choreographer is, well done to them

cos they intertwined it very nicely together.

Country and western is a social dance.

Same as street dance but a different type.

But you still marriaged it well together

and we all smiled all the way through and that's what we want.

It's a fun challenge so, well done.

-Suzette.

-You guys have so much talent and, when the beat kicked in,

you guys worked it and I loved it for the fact that

you guys put the hip-hop and then with the whole country routine,

you guys just blended it really well and you should be really proud.

Thank you, judges. Make some noise for Superkidz.

CHEERING

Our next crew likes to crimp their hair before every performance.

Breaking to the banjos, it's Future Pride.

Future Pride, huh!

Future Pride, you're through to the semifinals.

How do you feel about that?

Feels amazing. It's really good to get this far, we can't believe it

and we are very excited.

Tell me about your rehearsals.

We had loads of fun rehearsing and we did rehearsals on tricks

that we are going to include in the dances and we had loads of fun.

What do you think you've done to stand out from other crews?

We've, more or less, been practising every day

and we've gone all out with the costumes, as you can see.

Good luck, guys. I hope you do good in your routine.

CHEERING

CHEERING

That was amazing.

Dwayne, how did these guys take to the country and western music?

That, right there, is exactly what this challenge was set for.

CHEERING

You looked the part, did the part, you blew me away. That was amazing.

Great start. Lizzie, what did you think?

I, personally, think you've invented a new style of country and western

cos you were doing house, you were doing locking

but still keeping the formation of country and western

but you made it street dance.

I don't think I've ever stood up for a routine yet

and that's the first one.

Suzette.

I love the fact you guys were doing the locking,

with the whole country and western,

you guys told it as it is and you guys set the standard tonight.

Thanks, Suzette. Go crazy for Future Pride.

CHEERING

All three semifinalists have whacked and waved

to the country and western music.

While we check the scores,

here's a quick reminder of those brilliant performances.

All of our crews have done brilliantly well.

The judges have scored them

for their country and western music performance.

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

Are you ready to see some more street dance?

CHEERING

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

First up, it's the crew with the unique motto,

"When you believe, you will achieve."

At the qualifiers, Lizzie told them they lived up to that.

Turbo went to Essex to join in with their rehearsals.

That's right, it's Legacy.

Yo, yo, yo, Legacy.

'One of Legacy's strengths is definitely their performance.

'It is definitely something we are going to work on more

'in the masterclass as well.'

One and two and three and four.

'What I really like about Legacy is the way they work as a crew.

'They have a really strong work ethic.

'They really work well together.'

If they work hard with what I've given them

'and they push it with their tightness and energy,'

they will be a crew to be reckoned with, for sure.

Hope you guys enjoyed

that masterclass and you learned something from it as well.

Remember what I said, take care of that energy.

-I'm out, guys. Peace, take care. ALL:

-See you later.

CHEERING

# We got 'em hypnotised

# We got 'em hypnotised

# We got 'em hypnotised

# We got 'em hypnotised

# Every time I come in and I step up in the building

# And we lit the fires so I hope you know we got to come on!

# And hurt 'em up. Come on! Word 'em up. Come on!

# Strike another match and let it flame. Get your dumb on! #

CHEERING

Well done, guys. Let's see what the judges thought.

Turbo, what did you think?

Guys, wow, I was impressed. Definitely. Definitely.

It was more intricate than your previous performance,

had a lot more detail to it.

What I would say is, just bring it up a little bit more.

Just the energy. There's parts where you can bring the energy up

to give people that rollercoaster feeling, like, "Oh, that was good."

But, very good performance. Can see where you've pushed it. Well done.

-Thanks, Turbo. Lizzie, what did you think?

-You guys are brilliant.

Every time I see your piece or your performance it's so intricate,

like, there's little things that you've paid attention to.

For instance, you do great formations

when you're in the centre doing your double alphas

and it was sucking these other guys into the circle.

It was a great effect.

Only thing I'll say is, some of you girls,

be stronger cos some other dancers are dancing stronger than you

and you can see a difference.

Other than that, great choreography, worked well together, keep it up.

Lovely. Thank you, Lizzie.

Dwayne.

From beginning to end, you guys are just really good.

I love you guys.

I do.

For some critique, what I would say is,

because you guys are so good, I want you to believe and how good you are.

You guys are actually better than you believe.

I can see in your faces, you're doing it but it's like,

"Am I really this good, and I actually doing this?"

Believe in yourself. So, come on, yeah?

Thanks, Dwayne. That was great. Suzette, what did you think?

You guys are mature dancers, that's what I see on stage

when you guys perform.

I want to see facials, I want to see you smile.

There's certain bits of the music

that you could just enjoy more and just live into the moves.

Apart from that, you guys are so tight. Really, really tight.

Yeah? You guys are tight.

Give it up for Legacy.

CHEERING

Dwayne said, "From beginning to end, you guys were so good."

I think that's exactly what he said and I think...

-Was that a good impression?

-No. No.

-All right. You just ruined my day.

Suzette said you were really tight.

Is that something you've been working on?

Yeah, we've been drilling it really hard so, it's paid off.

It has, obviously, paid off. Everyone, give it up for Legacy.

CHEERING

At the qualifiers, Turbo said they were super

and he'd pay to watch them in the theatre.

So, Dwayne went to Manchester

to find out if they really do have hidden superpowers.

You guessed it, it's Superkidz.

CHEERING

'Superkidz are awesome.'

Hello, guys. I know they're going to teach me something.

Are you ready?

High-fives, high-fives.

'I've done this for a long time, and for kids to teach me,'

it's amazing.

You learn more about dance when you teach it.

If you can teach me it then I know you know it.

# If I was your boyfriend I'd never let you go. #

If I was your boyfriend. Oh, OK, OK. Together?

They've got so much personality, so much talent.

You guys are good teachers.

And it speaks in volumes. You see it. It shines through when they dance.

Now we're a group.

'One thing is to be able to dance but to be able to teach...'

They taught me.

That was good, guys.

'I'm really looking forward to seeing them in the semifinals.'

I got to go. They won't let me.

CHEERING

# Let's get it on

# Get it on the floor Get it, get it on the floor. What?

# Get it on the floor Get it, get it on the floor. What?

# You don't want to party then you gotta go

# You don't want to party then you gotta go

# Let's go. Whoa. #

CHEERING

Dwayne, what did you think?

You guys are so small and just so big.

-Did you see how much of the stage they take up?

-Yeah.

Like, they're so small and so big.

I don't know how you do it. Are you magicians as well?

What do you do? I believe you when you're up there.

I totally believe that you guys love what you're doing

and that allows me to believe and love what you're doing.

So, thank you.

Lizzie.

You guys have a great understanding of how your bodies work

to manipulate the whole stage cos it's very rare to see that

at such a young age. Very, very mature.

So, keep that and I can't wait to see you guys in, like,

five years' time.

Thanks, Lizzie.

Suzette, what did you think?

Alesha, this is the semifinals and you guys are bringing it. Yeah?

You guys ain't Superkidz, you guys are super adults. Yeah?

Remember that. You guys, when you're on stage, I'm like, "Wow. Wow. Wow."

Every single one of you are delivering everything.

You guys are giving it your all and that's what I love about you guys.

Turbo, what did you think?

You guys have amazing control with your energy to music.

I mean, wow.

Beyonce, girls?

You were working it like you've been backing for Beyonce for years.

And, boys, there was a section where you guys got low.

You got so low you nearly scraped your head on the floor.

You guys, wow. Guys, very strong, very super.

Brilliant. Give it up for Superkidz.

CHEERING

Did they smash it?

CHEERING

-Does that make you confident for the final?

-Um, yeah.

-Yeah. Yeah?

-People think that we are really good.

-We do. Do we?

CHEERING

Everyone, give it up for Superkidz.

CHEERING

Turbo loved their style at the qualifiers.

You might remember him asking for one of their jackets.

So, Lizzie went to the Wirral for some style tips

and also to see them simmering their moves.

It's Future Pride.

'If Future Pride are the future of street dance

'then we are definitely in safe hands.'

How are you, guys?

I'm really looking forward to working with them.

Should we just spread out, find a space?

'The main thing I enjoyed from Future Pride's routine

'in the qualifiers is that they worked so well as a team'

and they had all their foundations for the street dance styles.

'What these guys need to work on, for the semifinals'

is just to simmer on the beat and just to hold back and relax

'and enjoy the whole thing.'

Sometimes that's what makes it nice, the whole, kind of, chilled-ness

but then the strength.

'They're so humble and very talented kids'

so they are definitely ones to watch.

Right, well done, guys. I'm really happy with you

and I'm very excited to see you in the semifinals.

-ALL:

-Bye.

CHEERING

# Now this is a story all about how

# My life got flip turned upside down

# And I'd like to take a minute just to sit right there

# I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air. #

OK, Lizzie, what did you think?

It was really great. I loved the beginning section.

Like you were creating different scenarios.

You were skipping and all this breaking going on.

After I went and saw you, you've taken on what I said about timing

and I can see that you're now sitting more on the beat.

-So, I'm happy.

-Thanks, Lizzie. Suzette.

You guys blend really well as a group, as a team. I love the intro.

This is the semifinals and you guys know it's the semifinals

and you guys brought the semifinals so, yeah.

Exactly. Thank you, Suzette. Turbo.

Guys, incredible, amazing, I loved it. I really, really loved it.

I enjoyed that. I want the jacket as well.

One thing I do want to point out is,

there was your foundation hip-hop routine that you had,

near the beginning.

If you just loosen up that top half of your body,

sit in it a little bit more, it'll come out,

it'll be a lot stronger as well.

That's really tiny, compared to what I've just seen, guys,

-very, very good show. Very, very good.

-Excellent.

Thanks, Turbo.

-Dwayne, sum this up for us.

-You guys came to win.

CHEERING

Did you come to win? Is that it?

That's all I'm saying. They came to win.

Thank you very much, judges.

Give it up for Future Pride.

CHEERING

That was amazing.

Lizzie said you sat on the beat but you didn't only sit,

you were lying down the beat,

sunbathing, chilling, drinking on the beat.

How much of a relief is it to know that all your hard work paid off?

It's a big relief cos that's the main thing we wanted to know.

We wanted to show the judges that we can take on board what they said

and, hopefully, well, I think we did.

You definitely did. Everyone, give it up for Future Pride.

CHEERING

While we check and verify the scores,

here's a quick look back at those street performances.

Welcome back, Legacy,

Superkidz

and Future Pride.

Their performances have been out of this world.

All of our crews rose

to the country and western music challenge with ease

but only one crew can go through to the grand final.

CHEERING

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 taking the last place

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

Future Pride.

CHEERING

Congratulations.

Congratulations, guys.

-We'll see you in the final with another routine, yeah?

-Yes.

Wow, what a mind-blowing semifinal it's been.

Thank you to all the crews who took part today.

Give a massive shout out and applause to our judges

and let's hear it for Aidan Davis.

CHEERING

So, our three finalists have been chosen.

Join us next time for the Grand Final when Future Pride,

the Titanz and Base will all be battling for the title

of Alesha's Street Dance Stars.

I can't wait. See you then.

CHEERING

We are in for an explosive final.

Will it be the Titanz from Coventry,

Base from Kent

or Future Pride from the Wirral?

Only one crew can be crowned winners of Alesha's Street Dance Stars.
