Are you ready, Eldon? | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Thanks to these guys, I got my lucky coin. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
Wait. This is the wrong coin! It has the wrong date on it. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
I don't know how I'm going to win anything without my lucky coin. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
I forgot my wallet. I didn't bring anything. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
You said lunch was on you today. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
I'll be back soon, I promise. OK. See you in a bit. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
'Great, yeah. Just leave me here with no money. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
'No way to pay at all.' | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Thanks, Ella. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Sweden is unstoppable. We would not even be on B-Troupe in Sweden. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
I don't know how The Next Step could ever beat them. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Welcome, everybody, to the Absolute Dance International Championship, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
right here in vibrant | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
and beautiful Miami, Florida. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
I am your host, Chuck Anderson. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
I'm really excited to introduce to you my co-host. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
She's a dance expert. She's a star of stage and screen. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
She's a busy gal, but she's taking time to join us here! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
Ashley Leggat. Welcome. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Thank you, Chuck. I would not miss it. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Those of you who know me, know dance is my biggest passion. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
And to be here, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
watching the best of the best | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
take the stage could not be more exciting for me. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
And Ashley, our first team up from Jamaica, Kingston Dance Central. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
Today is finally here. The first day of Internationals. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
It's just... It's so crazy. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
Out of Italy, it is Academia Toscana di Danza. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
These are the ones to watch this year. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
There's kind of an opening ceremony so we can see all the teams | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
and where everybody's from. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Cape Town! The Royal Dance Academy out of South Africa. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
This is Internationals. It's almost kind of weird. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
I see so many team jackets and different languages. It's crazy. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
Up next is the team from the Philippines, Manila! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
SPEAKS IN LOCAL LANGUAGE | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
It's really fantastic, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
because we really get to see who our competition is. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
That is Stockholm Dansteater out of Sweden. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
What makes Sweden so great is they're such good friends, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
even outside of the studio. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
They're just like The Next Step. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
They have that connection like we do. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
And here's a team from Poland. Yes! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
An all-male contingent. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
And that is very unique to this competition. They're strong, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
they're rehearsed and they're ready to go. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
And here we have from the UK, Summerford School of Dance. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
That's right. Some teams come to Internationals... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Today's going to be rough, because later on, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
me and Riley are both competing against each other | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
for Miss Internationals Soloist. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
And now The Next Step hits the stage | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
for the first time ever at Internationals. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
It's pretty crazy, walking across that stage, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
because the theatre is huge and of course it's Internationals, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
so it's all sold out. There's just so many people. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Here is the team that is really wowing the dance community, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
especially here in Miami. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
Very popular. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
If they can hold it together, who knows? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
They might be able to bring it all the way. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
I'm already nervous. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
And I have to compete for Mr Internationals Soloist against | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
the best dancers I've ever seen. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
Internationals is going to be a lot harder than I thought. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
# We | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
# We are going the show the world | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
# Everything we're made of | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
# We're gonna tear the roof off this place | 0:03:18 | 0:03:25 | |
# Stand up! # | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
We are standing amongst 1,800 of the best dancers in the world. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
Today is the day where I do | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
my solo for Internationals. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
So right now, I'm kind of marking through it in the foyer. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
No-one gets eliminated in these rounds. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
But whoever wins Mr and Miss International Soloist | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
also gains a five-point advantage | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
moving forward in the elimination rounds. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
I just hope that I can win that five-point advantage for our team. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
You're done enough rehearsing. Come on. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Let's go do something fun. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
I really should be practising. Things are about to get intense. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Let's have one last bit of fun. Yeah? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Sure. Why not? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
I agree to do one last prank with Ella, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
just because it'll be a good way to kind of let loose | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
and relax for a little bit. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
The excitement... Superstition sort of has a role in this, doesn't it? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
Yes, I... At least where you're concerned! | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
'We just goof off, have fun and make faces.' | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
It's kind of awesome. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
I would need to chew mint bubble gum | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
and blow ten decent-sized bubbles before | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
I went on stage, so sometimes I'd be chewing and chewing | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
and trying to blow and people are, like... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Like, er... Oh! | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Seeing Kate being left there holding the sign. It's priceless. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
"Hi, Mom," I guess! Yeah, there's... From Miami... Hi, Mom! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
..as the Absolute Dance International Championship continues. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
# Everybody going to do it like this | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
# Do it like this | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
# Are you really going to do it like this? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
# Do it like this. # | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Well, there appears to be no slip-up whatsoever from every single entrant | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
we've seen so far in this aspect of the competition | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
for Mr International Soloist, as Poland's Bartek | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
takes control of that stage. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:35 | |
I'm coming up soon to go do my solo and, er... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
I've never really been this nervous before. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Beautiful control. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Oh, this competition is so serious. And I don't have my lucky coin. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
I've never been at a competition without my lucky coin before | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
and Internationals is an odd time to start. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
It's not even a lucky coin. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
If it was a lucky coin, he wouldn't have lost it in the Everglades. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
'I need to get these five points for The Next Step' | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
and I don't know how I'm going to do that without my lucky coin. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
Hope I'm not first. No, I don't mind if I was first. Really? | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
'Ella and I are just checking the schedule to see | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
'when we're going to be dancing our solos.' | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
Oh. There's just one dance between us. Yeah. And I'm before you. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
Actually, I was wondering, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
are you doing the dance you rehearsed at The Next Step? Yeah. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Ah, good. That's a great dance. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
It was one of my favourites. Thank you. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
It's going to be weird dancing against each other. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Yeah, but we still have to dance our best, right? Of course. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
'It just kind of hurts a little bit,' | 0:06:42 | 0:06:43 | |
just because... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
I don't want to compete against my best friend. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Time to get our "game face" on. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:50 | |
See you on the other side. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
I am in full competition mode. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
No-one's going to take this win away from me. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
# I'm going to the top | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
# I'm never coming back. # | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Up now, we have Kyle from Stockholm Danceteater. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
And I have to think as a three-time Mr International Soloist, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
he's got to be the favourite here today. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
We're standing in the wings, waiting for Eldon to go on for his solo. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
I have NEVER seen him this nervous before. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
This Swedish dancer is... | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
like, amazing. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
Man, are you good? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
His extreme lack of confidence | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
is starting to worry me a little bit. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Relax, man. You don't need that stupid coin, right? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
You're going to kill it. You always do. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
It's because I've always had the "stupid coin". | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
The only reason why he may need the coin is | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
because he BELIEVES he needs the coin so much. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
James texted me to come talk to Eldon and I'm really confused. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
I'm not supposed to be talking to Eldon | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
until he gets to 30 pirouettes. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
I need you to get his head in the game. Just talk to him, OK? | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
YOU want me to talk to Eldon? Thalia, yes. I lift the ban. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
I know that they're not supposed to talk. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
But I think this time it's necessary. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Hey! Hey! You look great. Thanks. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
When I see Thalia, I, er, kind of relax a little bit | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
because I know that she is here to support me. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
Listen, I know you are going to win this title. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
I'm not so sure. The competition is fierce. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
I've never seen him this nervous before. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
I don't know what to do. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Just dance for me. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
That I can do. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
I feel better because now it's not about the other dancers. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
It's not about the audience. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
It's not about my lucky coin. It's about dance. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
It's about Thalia. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
And look how he closes out the dance, his arms wide open. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
It's almost as if to say, "Give me that fourth title!" | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
That's right and our audience seems to agree, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
with a standing ovation! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Please put your hands together | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
for the male soloist from The Next Step, Eldon! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Whoo! | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
# I swear there's mountains high | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
# A long way below... # | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
As I'm dancing, I just feel very different. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
Usually the stuff I do is just like...do a corkscrew and a B-twist | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
and then hit some beats. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:51 | |
This dance is a lot more emotional than the past things I've done. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
And Thalia is like the driving force of my emotions. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
I definitely feel like Eldon's dancing for me | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
and it just makes me like him so much more. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
He's incorporating elements of gymnastics, elements of ballet... | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
There's so much technique in this routine. And his jumps! | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Wow! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:25 | |
I feel like Eldon has just come so far since Regionals and | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
I really hope he wins. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
He is killing it right now. What did you say to him? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
I told him to dance for me. I tried that! | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
Well, maybe that's why he was freaking out. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Wow! With back hand-springs. Unbelievable. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
This is incredible. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
It's happening again, goose bumps! Yeah. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
The gymnastics element, the ballet technique. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
He really has everything. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
Eldon is dancing amazingly. I knew it. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
He's really just dancing from his heart. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
And that's what makes it so special. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
This could be my last solo with The Next Step. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
I'm just taking in this moment. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
Whatever happens, | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
I could not have danced that well without Thalia. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
I just hope it's enough to impress the judges. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
Seeing Eldon perform is making me both anxious and very nervous. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
I'm the only person | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
representing my team in this round. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
And I really want to win that five-point advantage | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
for the rest of them. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
'She is so emotional when she dances and I just feel like...' | 0:12:19 | 0:12:25 | |
I can feel everything she's feeling. And it's beautiful. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
Well, all the male soloists have had their proverbial kick at the can now. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
It's just the waiting game, isn't it? | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
And this is the worst part. You can ask any dancer. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
Getting on that stage is one thing, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:44 | |
but once you've left it on the stage, | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
basically it's out of your hands - the tension really rises. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
You're good. You got this. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:52 | |
'As we wait to hear if Eldon will win...' | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
I have to admit I'm a little worried for Eldon, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
but I can't let him know that. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
All right, Ashley. I'm getting word that our judges | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
have made their decision. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
And the Mr International Soloist winner is... | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
I'm so nervous right now. This means so much to me. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
..Kyle from Sweden! | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
I don't understand how Eldon lost. His dance was amazing. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
I just... I feel so bad for him. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
Sweden was already the strongest team here. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
And now those five extra points will make them even harder to beat. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
I'm pretty mad right now. Because this was my last chance to | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
pull through for The Next Step and I didn't do it. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
Welcome back to our coverage | 0:13:58 | 0:13:59 | |
of the Absolute Dance International Championship, here in Miami. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
We are down to the last four competitors | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
for Miss International Soloist. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Maddie from Stockholm Danceteater is showing why Sweden leads | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
the competition we've seen so far. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
That's right and something tells me she'll be looking for | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
the matching "Miss Trophy". | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
Next is Summerford School of Dance out of the UK. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
And Summerford is a studio | 0:14:25 | 0:14:26 | |
that is known for being no-nonsense and having really top-shelf talent, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
'so I really can't wait to see what happens on stage.' | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
Good luck. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
Ella takes the stage and they play my solo song instead of hers, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:46 | |
which is weird. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
What's even weirder is that they don't stop. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
And then I realise she's doing my choreography... | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
to my song. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
This is your solo. I know. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
There are two reasons why I stole her solo. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
Because the solo's good. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
It is better than any dance I could have ever come up with. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
And secondly, because it might throw her off so much, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
that she blows her chance of even winning this thing. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
As I said to her, I will do anything I can to win this competition. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
I'm appalled. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
I feel so bad for Riley. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
I watched her rehearse that solo for so long. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
I feel like such an idiot. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
Ella warned me and she told me she would mess with me | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
if she had the chance. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
And I gave her the perfect opportunity to. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
I showed her my solo. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:38 | |
My biggest mistake was believing Ella was my friend. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
And the crowd is going insane. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
A standing ovation for Ella from Summerford. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
That's got to be one of the best solos we've seen all day. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
The emotional was there, which we're not used to from Summerford. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
And I have to tell you, that choreography touched me. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
It had so much heart. The dance was brilliant. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
Good luck. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:10 | |
I have to go on stage after one more dancer. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
And I have nothing. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
What am I going to do? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
What am I going to do? She just took my dance. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
I can't do the same one that she just did. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
If I did the same routine as Ella, | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
it would look like I stole her solo, instead of the other way around. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
Doesn't anyone else have a solo? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:46 | |
Well, I have a solo. OK, I'll teach it to you. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
You can do it really fast. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
No. We don't have time. You have to do it. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
Riley... | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
Giselle - you're going to do the solo. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
Come and change ASAP. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:57 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Well, you know, Ashley, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
this week, we knew it was going to be full of twists and turns. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
Well, try this one on for size - The Next Step had a scheduled dancer. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
Taking her place is going to be team captain Giselle. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
Wow. I'm kind of stressing out for her. That's... | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
You've never seen anything quite like this, have you? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
I've actually never seen anything like this in Internationals. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
Thank you. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:26 | |
Will the dancer for The Next Step please enter the stage? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
This is my first time performing on the stage and I have to do a solo? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
I haven't even practised! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
All I can do now is hope that Giselle goes out there... | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
and kills it. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
# So this is how it ends? | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
# No worlds left to avenge... # | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
I feel like I'm taking on the world right now. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
I've never had this amount of people watch me dance | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
and appreciate what I do on the stage. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
This is absolutely incredible. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
And I'm not only doing it for me, but I'm doing it for my team, | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
and especially Riley. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Giselle is doing incredible. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
She's such an amazing dancer and | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
it's really, really nice to see her do her best. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
# Don't take enemies for friends... # | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
Giselle's solo is pretty good. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
But...I think I can beat her. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
Giselle is dancing amazing. She always does. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
But this is Internationals | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
and this time "amazing" might not cut it. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
# When the war is over | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
# When the war is over. # | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
CHEERING | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
As I finish my solo... | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
..it is so... | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
such a cool feeling. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
A standing ovation for Giselle of The Next Step, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
and goose bumps from my co-host Ashley Leggat. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
Very well played. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
At this point, I want nothing to do with Ella. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
How could you do that to me? We're supposed to be friends. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
Riley, do you not get it yet? That's the game. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
It's not a game to me. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Then you are going to lose. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
'She's wrong. I'm not going to lose.' | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
There's no way that she's going to beat The Next Step. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have made their decision. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
I'm just in the wings waiting to hear who wins | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
and I just hope it's me. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
I have never felt so much pressure on myself in my lifetime. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Absolute Dance International female soloist... | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
I just hope what I did was enough for my team. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
..England! | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
CHEERING | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
She cheated, and she still won. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
How is that fair? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:38 | |
Ella winning solo means that Team England | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
now has a five-point advantage, | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
which they could use in any elimination round. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
First round, Ella. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
Which means they might even be able to use it against us. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 |
