Unless I can have the solo at Nationals, I have to leave.

0:00:040:00:07

And where are you going to go?

0:00:070:00:08

Chris has offered me the National solo at Superstar.

0:00:080:00:12

Really?

0:00:120:00:13

I don't think that Elite is the team that we need to be worrying about.

0:00:130:00:16

It's LOD. They won Nationals last year.

0:00:160:00:19

They only have one male dancer and it's just

0:00:190:00:21

so that they can get through the Male Solo round.

0:00:210:00:24

All right now, let's kick it off with our male soloist.

0:00:240:00:28

Nationals is just so much bigger than we could have ever imagined.

0:00:280:00:32

Yo, Eldon is amazing, and I feel bad

0:00:320:00:34

for anybody that has to go up against him.

0:00:340:00:37

Tomorrow, Nationals is going to see what The Next Step can do.

0:00:370:00:40

Welcome to the 17th Annual

0:00:440:00:46

Absolute Dance National Championships.

0:00:460:00:49

I'm your host, Chuck Anderson. Alongside, my esteemed colleague

0:00:490:00:52

Tre Armstrong. How are you doing, Tre?

0:00:520:00:54

Oh, I'm so good, Chuck. How are you?

0:00:540:00:56

I'm doing really well. It's exciting.

0:00:560:00:58

We saw the first 32 male solos yesterday,

0:00:580:01:00

and half of those teams have already been eliminated.

0:01:000:01:03

That's right, Chuck.

0:01:030:01:04

We have the remaining 32 male solos today,

0:01:040:01:06

and 16 of those teams won't make it to the next round.

0:01:060:01:09

APPLAUSE

0:01:110:01:12

And now we have our first male solo of the day,

0:01:120:01:14

Lacota from Lisa Maze Dance company.

0:01:140:01:16

Let's see how he does, Chuck.

0:01:160:01:19

MUSIC

0:01:200:01:22

APPLAUSE

0:01:230:01:24

We're watching the male soloist round at Nationals.

0:01:250:01:28

Each round is an elimination round.

0:01:280:01:31

If the male soloist loses, the whole team is eliminated.

0:01:310:01:35

Man, are you nervous at all?

0:01:350:01:37

Eh, no.

0:01:370:01:38

The thing is, Eldon should be nervous, because if

0:01:380:01:40

he doesn't get through this round, none of us get to dance.

0:01:400:01:44

Yeah, I'm not really that nervous. It's just dance.

0:01:440:01:47

I'd be more nervous, like, asking out a girl.

0:01:470:01:50

True. True that.

0:01:500:01:52

I can't wait to get out on stage.

0:01:520:01:54

I can't wait for Nationals to see what The Next Step can bring.

0:01:540:01:57

Daniel!

0:02:090:02:10

Hey! It's so nice to see you!

0:02:100:02:13

What's up?

0:02:130:02:14

I am so excited to see Daniel.

0:02:140:02:15

I haven't seen him in, it feels like, forever.

0:02:150:02:18

Not much.

0:02:180:02:20

So, how's Superstar? How's Chris?

0:02:200:02:22

Good.

0:02:240:02:25

Eldon and I both auditioned for

0:02:250:02:27

the male National Solo and he was the chosen one.

0:02:270:02:32

Daniel wanted to be the male soloist more than anything for Nationals.

0:02:320:02:35

So, I'm glad that Superstar Academy gave him the chance.

0:02:350:02:39

OK, what's new?

0:02:390:02:41

You know what? I should find my team.

0:02:410:02:42

I don't have time for this.

0:02:420:02:45

What? Daniel?

0:02:450:02:46

Daniel's kind of being weird.

0:02:480:02:50

He's never been like this with me before.

0:02:500:02:53

I'm so cold to Giselle because, right now,

0:02:530:02:55

I've got my game face on, and I'm with Superstar now.

0:02:550:02:57

I'm not with The Next Step.

0:02:570:02:58

So, why would I want to be friends with anyone from The Next Step?

0:02:580:03:02

Don't worry about him, Giselle. He's just trying to psych us out.

0:03:020:03:05

Let's go.

0:03:050:03:06

# We, we're going to show the world

0:03:100:03:16

# Everything we're made of

0:03:160:03:20

# We're going to tear The roof off this place! #

0:03:200:03:28

Stand up!

0:03:330:03:34

These dancers are killer.

0:04:070:04:09

I just hope that Eldon can take them down.

0:04:090:04:12

A good showing from Vlad's Dance Academy,

0:04:180:04:21

but how will it stack up against LOD?

0:04:210:04:23

LOD, of course, Life of Dance.

0:04:240:04:26

But it's also Ladies of Destruction,

0:04:260:04:29

but they do have some male representation.

0:04:290:04:32

Do you know they only have him on their team

0:04:320:04:34

so that they have a male soloist so that they can do Nationals?

0:04:340:04:37

Are you serious? Yeah. That's the only reason he's

0:04:370:04:39

on their team. That's how intense Life of Dance is.

0:04:390:04:43

LOD, Rocko is going to step up here,

0:04:430:04:46

at the Absolute Dance National Championships.

0:04:460:04:48

MUSIC

0:04:520:04:53

Fantastic!

0:05:110:05:13

CHEERING

0:05:130:05:14

What extension! I mean, he's so lean.

0:05:140:05:17

CHEERING

0:05:210:05:22

That guy is actually amazing. Yeah.

0:05:220:05:24

Technically, he's really good, and he's like 700,000 feet tall,

0:05:240:05:29

so when he does stuff,

0:05:290:05:31

it actually looks a lot more impressive.

0:05:310:05:34

Wow. What a great switch split. Wow.

0:05:360:05:39

So much air!

0:05:390:05:40

He's already so tall, so seeing him actually get higher and then seeing

0:05:400:05:44

his legs be, like, so long it's really impressive.

0:05:440:05:49

CHEERING

0:06:060:06:07

I cannot believe how incredible Rocko is.

0:06:360:06:39

It's only the first round, it already feels like LOD

0:06:390:06:41

is miles ahead of everyone else.

0:06:410:06:43

CHEERING

0:06:540:06:55

And there you have it from Rocko,

0:06:570:06:59

getting Life of Dance off to a fantastic start.

0:06:590:07:01

The guy's got so much length, and you got to think

0:07:010:07:04

that LOD is going to have a long ride in this

0:07:040:07:07

Absolute Dance National Championship.

0:07:070:07:10

The judges have come to a decision.

0:07:100:07:12

And the studio moving on to the small group round is...

0:07:120:07:16

Life of Dance!

0:07:160:07:17

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:170:07:19

I'm not surprised that Rocko wins. I mean, he's from LOD,

0:07:200:07:24

so, uh, yeah. It doesn't really surprise me.

0:07:240:07:27

Man, do you know who you're up against yet?

0:07:270:07:30

Not yet, actually.

0:07:300:07:31

I cannot believe that Eldon didn't check who he was up against.

0:07:310:07:34

With all this excitement, I forgot to go and check.

0:07:340:07:36

I think I'm up in, like, an hour? So, we should probably go check.

0:07:360:07:39

Yeah, let's go check.

0:07:390:07:40

That's, like, one of the most important things.

0:07:410:07:44

Only Eldon.

0:07:440:07:45

What up, dawg?

0:07:470:07:50

OK, Body Bump Dance. Superstar Dance. Superstar Dance.

0:07:500:07:54

Who is Superstar dance?

0:07:540:07:55

I don't know. Kind of sounds familiar, though.

0:07:550:07:57

Do you know who the male soloist is for Superstar Dance? It's me.

0:07:570:08:02

Looks like it's me and you again, Eldon.

0:08:020:08:04

Knowing I'm going to be competing against Eldon

0:08:040:08:06

is very satisfying for me.

0:08:060:08:07

It's kind of my one little take at revenge.

0:08:070:08:10

All right. Good luck. You're going to need it. My solo is killer.

0:08:100:08:14

He's got a bit of an attitude problem.

0:08:140:08:16

Pfft. Whatever, man.

0:08:160:08:17

You're going to be so mad that you left The Next Step

0:08:170:08:19

when Eldon's through with you.

0:08:190:08:21

He left the studio just because I got the solo part.

0:08:210:08:24

So, I'm ready to show him that I deserved that

0:08:240:08:27

and there's nothing he could have done about it.

0:08:270:08:30

We'll see.

0:08:300:08:31

Woooo. That's some competition.

0:08:320:08:34

I honestly think that that's going to make Eldon go so much harder.

0:08:340:08:37

I'm ready to kill it, like, twice as much now. Like, twice as much?

0:08:370:08:40

I think it's funny that Eldon and I are paired up against each other.

0:08:400:08:43

There is tonnes of other soloists, and it's kind of fate that we're

0:08:430:08:46

paired together for this first competition.

0:08:460:08:49

MUFFLED MUSIC

0:08:570:08:58

I've beaten Daniel before,

0:09:020:09:04

but he's really good and he's really motivated.

0:09:040:09:07

And I know if I don't dance my best, he could send The Next Step home.

0:09:070:09:11

It's time.

0:09:150:09:16

I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach

0:09:180:09:20

and I just want to get out there and tear it apart.

0:09:200:09:23

Hey. Are you ready?

0:09:300:09:32

Yo, he is so ready. Just watch, just watch.

0:09:320:09:34

Eldon looks so unbelievably focused right now.

0:09:370:09:41

If anything, it's a good sign, because it means he's ready.

0:09:410:09:45

Once again, Male Solo is the first part of this six-part play...

0:09:450:09:49

Eye on the prize. ..at the Absolute Dance National Championships.

0:09:490:09:52

Good luck, Daniel.

0:09:520:09:54

She's trying to psych me out. She obviously wants Eldon to win.

0:09:560:09:59

She favours him over me.

0:09:590:10:02

How are you? Good. How are you? I'm good. I miss you.

0:10:020:10:04

Good. I miss you, too. Did you choreograph this? Of course.

0:10:040:10:07

I had to pull a lot of tricks out of the bag.

0:10:070:10:10

Oh, I'm excited to see it. Me, too. Good luck. Same to you.

0:10:100:10:14

Word on the street is that Daniel used to dance for The Next Step.

0:10:140:10:17

Until, apparently, the head choreographer

0:10:170:10:19

from The Next Step took a little leave of absence, permanently,

0:10:190:10:23

to another studio and guess who followed? Daniel.

0:10:230:10:27

SDA's third trip to these

0:10:270:10:28

Absolute Dance National Championships, but they've got a

0:10:280:10:31

new fresh face in the line-up, who's about to take the stage right now.

0:10:310:10:35

Whoo! Let's go!

0:10:350:10:37

I put so much at stake quitting The Next Step

0:10:400:10:42

and moving to Superstar and they're all here watching

0:10:420:10:45

and judging me, along with thousands of people watching.

0:10:450:10:49

So, I'm definitely feeling the pressure at this point.

0:10:490:10:53

MUSIC

0:10:530:10:54

I've got a lot to prove with this solo,

0:11:110:11:13

so Chris and I worked really hard to bring something new to my dancing.

0:11:130:11:17

CHEERING

0:11:170:11:18

The Next Step is going to be expecting my softer,

0:11:200:11:23

balletic, contemporary style,

0:11:230:11:25

but we're bringing something totally new.

0:11:250:11:27

It's like a whole new style for him. It's harder. It's more intense.

0:11:590:12:03

Daniel is probably one of the most amazing male dancers I've ever

0:12:070:12:10

seen in my life.

0:12:100:12:12

And he really stepped his game up.

0:12:120:12:14

This is just the first round at these Absolute Dance National

0:12:170:12:20

Championships in male solos and this is one for the ages.

0:12:200:12:25

Wow, so Superstar Dance Academy's third trip to these Nationals,

0:13:020:13:06

but for one, Daniel, it was his first time under the hot, hot spotlight

0:13:060:13:10

and I think he came and did a great job with his performance.

0:13:100:13:14

What do you think? Absolutely.

0:13:140:13:15

I mean, you cannot even deny the high water benchmarks that he

0:13:150:13:19

just put down on the floor.

0:13:190:13:22

Come here, man!

0:13:240:13:25

Daniel's dance is amazing. He's really grown since leaving

0:13:260:13:30

The Next Step.

0:13:300:13:31

I hate to admit it, but maybe it was a good move for him.

0:13:310:13:34

That's what we do.

0:13:340:13:35

Going to Superstar really has changed the way that

0:13:350:13:38

I move as a dancer, and I think

0:13:380:13:40

that was the best thing for me to do at that point.

0:13:400:13:42

I'd outgrown The Next Step.

0:13:420:13:44

He has improved a lot, but it just builds my adrenaline.

0:13:480:13:52

I know once I get out there,

0:13:520:13:54

nothing's going to stop me from doing the best I could possibly do.

0:13:540:13:58

Well, Tre Armstrong,

0:14:060:14:07

you know that win at Regionals, that has no play here.

0:14:070:14:11

The Next Step starts a new adventure

0:14:110:14:13

Eldon, from The Next Step is up, a former team-mate of Daniel's.

0:14:170:14:21

Technique, passion. Another word I'd like to use for this performance?

0:14:400:14:45

Power. He just seems so strong.

0:14:450:14:47

Without realising it, the storyline of my solo is

0:14:530:14:56

kind of like the storyline I had at The Next Step.

0:14:560:14:59

Everything was good at the beginning.

0:15:040:15:06

It was nice and smooth and then things just started happening.

0:15:060:15:10

I lost all of my confidence.

0:15:230:15:25

I lost Michelle, I lost my solo, but I still kept with it.

0:15:250:15:29

I built a relationship with Michelle.

0:15:360:15:38

I'm finally good friends with Hunter.

0:15:380:15:41

I'm finally feeling like I'm meant to be at The Next Step.

0:15:410:15:43

Eldon is pulling off all of his best tricks. He's doing great.

0:16:010:16:05

He's an amazing dancer. And you know what? I'm glad I can

0:16:050:16:08

watch a friend dance now, too.

0:16:080:16:10

Watching Eldon dance is actually a bit of a reality check.

0:16:480:16:51

I was probably a little overly confident, um, during my solo

0:16:510:16:55

and I'm hoping that that's not going be my downfall.

0:16:550:16:58

Well, it's a standing O from the audience.

0:17:050:17:08

Chuck, I guess they love it.

0:17:080:17:10

No doubt about that, Tre.

0:17:100:17:13

This, my friend, is going to be very interesting,

0:17:130:17:16

because Daniel laid it all out on the floor.

0:17:160:17:18

Eldon, I would say, at least equalled that.

0:17:180:17:21

What do you think?

0:17:210:17:22

I think the judges have a really tough time ahead of them.

0:17:220:17:25

I do not envy you guys right now.

0:17:250:17:27

Good luck. Yep.

0:17:320:17:35

I danced the best I've ever danced in my life.

0:17:350:17:38

So, whatever happens, I'm happy.

0:17:380:17:41

Whoever wins this first matchup will be

0:17:460:17:48

moving on with their team to the small group round.

0:17:480:17:52

Waiting to hear if I've won is the most stressful thing.

0:17:520:17:58

Everything's been banking on this moment and I'm really anxious

0:17:580:18:01

to hear the judgment.

0:18:010:18:03

The judges have tabulated the scores

0:18:030:18:06

and the team moving on to the second round is...

0:18:060:18:10

I want this not only for us, but also for him.

0:18:100:18:12

He deserves it.

0:18:120:18:16

..The Next Step!

0:18:160:18:18

I worked so hard to be perfect.

0:18:260:18:28

And I'm not.

0:18:280:18:29

And I just don't know how to deal with that.

0:18:300:18:32

It's so incredible to know that we're one step closer

0:18:370:18:40

to getting that Nationals title.

0:18:400:18:43

It's the momentum of the win.

0:18:430:18:44

The other dancers get excited and

0:18:440:18:46

they get inspired, and next thing you know

0:18:460:18:48

they're going to take all the rounds.

0:18:480:18:50

I can't wait to see

0:18:500:18:52

the boy's small group. It's going to be good.

0:18:520:18:53

Luther Brown's choreography. We got to do this.

0:18:530:18:56

It's been a hard day for me with

0:19:040:19:05

everything that's happened with Daniel.

0:19:050:19:07

So, I'm just trying to relax and have some fun.

0:19:070:19:09

Hi. Hey, Daniel. Um, I...

0:19:160:19:20

You know what? I'm actually kind of glad you're here.

0:19:200:19:24

I wanted to tell you that your solo is amazing. Really?

0:19:240:19:28

Yes, it was so good, Daniel. Thank you.

0:19:280:19:31

I... I came over because I need to apologise.

0:19:310:19:35

I'm really happy that Daniel apologised,

0:19:350:19:38

because I don't know how much longer

0:19:380:19:41

I could last without talking to my best friend.

0:19:410:19:44

I think apologising to Giselle has been long overdue.

0:19:440:19:47

Um, she was always my best friend at The Next Step

0:19:470:19:49

and I really want to save my friendship with her.

0:19:490:19:52

I understand why you left The Next Step.

0:19:520:19:54

You wanted your moment. Excuse me for a minute.

0:19:540:19:56

Hi, friend, my name is Sergei

0:19:580:20:00

and I'm head of the dance department at Julliard.

0:20:000:20:03

Julliard is the best dance school in the world.

0:20:030:20:06

When you graduate from Julliard,

0:20:060:20:08

you're basically guaranteed a career in dance,

0:20:080:20:10

because it's a really, really, REALLY hard programme to get into.

0:20:100:20:15

You have something really special, my young friend,

0:20:150:20:18

and I want you to audition for Julliard.

0:20:180:20:20

Give me a call and we'll arrange the audition next week.

0:20:200:20:23

I haven't seen so much fun and fire

0:20:230:20:25

since young Mischa danced in Moscow 40 years ago.

0:20:250:20:29

It's been Daniel's dream since we were little kids.

0:20:290:20:31

That's so amazing. I'm just...

0:20:310:20:34

I'm so proud of him. I really am.

0:20:340:20:37

Daniel!

0:20:370:20:38

That's amazing.

0:20:400:20:41

What just happened?

0:20:430:20:45

It just goes to show you that you don't have to win to be great.

0:20:450:20:48

Oh, my goodness. I have goose bumps.

0:20:480:20:51

Just remember, I taught you. You taught me.

0:20:510:20:54

We're moving on to the Small Group round

0:20:550:20:57

and I have my best friend back.

0:20:570:20:59

Nationals is turning out to be even better than I thought.

0:20:590:21:03

# We, we're going to show the world

0:21:060:21:13

# Everything we're made of

0:21:130:21:16

# We're going to tear the roof off this place

0:21:160:21:21

# No, you can never fade us out

0:21:210:21:27

# Don't even ask the DJ

0:21:270:21:30

# Everybody knows We own this house. #
