Previously on The Next Step... | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
Are you sure you wouldn't rather be with your band right now? | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
No, Riley. Of course. This is Internationals. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
'I do want to be here. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
'But I also really want to be with the band. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
'But I'm just not ready to tell anyone that yet.' | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
If Noah comes in... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
then we need to lose somebody else. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
I'm the alternate for the team. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
I'll back out. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
She cheated and she still won. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
This isn't about Internationals any more. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Ella betrayed me. But worse, she betrayed my team. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
And we're going to make her regret it. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Ready? A five, six, seven, eight. Go one, a two, a three, a four... | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
We still can't believe that we made it all the way to semifinals. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
We started with 160 teams at Internationals. 160. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
Now we're down to four. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
England, Sweden, Italy and us. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Today, each team gets only one hour to rehearse their group number. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
One, a two, a three, a four... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
'And it's really the only time we get to practise on stage so...' | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
we really, really need this rehearsal. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
And one, a two. Hold on. Stop one sec. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
Cierra, just push out a little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
That's a little bit better. OK. Your time is up. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
What? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
No. She's just messing with us. No, no, no. Your time is up. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Please get off the stage. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
Having to leave for Ella's team... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
just makes me really angry. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
You just don't look ready and you know why? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Why? Because you're not. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
'She's wrong. We are ready. We're going to win' | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
and we're going to find a way to beat her. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
We have to. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
# We, we are gonna show the world | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
# Everything we're made of | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
# We're gonna tear the roof off this place | 0:01:55 | 0:02:01 | |
# Stand up. # | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
Whoa. This is huge. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
I feel like Amanda and I just need a moment on stage to ourselves | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
'because we aren't in any of the routines | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
'and we won't get to dance here.' | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
Wow. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
This is amazing. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
Look at this stage. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
Look at the audience. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
'So I feel like we just need this moment to take in all the lights' | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
and just imagine what it would be like to compete at Internationals. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
It would be amazing to dance on it though. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Why can't we? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Shall we dance? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
'The spotlight is shining on us. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
'And it's almost like we're having our own Internationals moment.' | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
It's pretty magical. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
'I know we're only alternates, but...' | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
this moment is pretty great. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Welcome back to our ongoing coverage | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
of the Absolute Dance International Championship. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
I'm your host, Chuck Anderson | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
alongside dancer and performer, Ashley Leggat. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
And then there were four. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
On one side of the ledger we have Academia Toscana di Danza | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
out of Italy... | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
and Stockholm Dance Theatre. Now Stockholm Dance Theatre, | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
they've been through this battle too many times. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
They are ready to go. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
On the other side of the ledger, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
we have Summerford School of Dance and, well, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
the antithesis of Stockholm Dance Theatre - The Next Step | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
are getting their first kick at the can here at Internationals. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
The cold hard truth is that at the end of today... | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
only two teams will remain. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
HE GROANS IN PAIN | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
This isn't good. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
West looks really sick. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
'As I was in Miami, I found the best kebab spot | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
'that you can possibly ever go to.' | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
And I think it gave me food poisoning. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
All right. How many times have you thrown up? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Three times. You know what? Actually four | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
because I just threw up in my mouth. Ew. And I swallowed it back in. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
What are we going to do? You know what? This is food poisoning. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
I know it. I eat shawarmas a lot. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
It happens to me like once or twice a month. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
It takes 24 hours to get out of your system. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
I think it's just from the meats. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
We do not have 24 hours. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
It was... Someone help me up. Come here. Come here. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
HIS STOMACH RUMBLES | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
You know, I think I got to go... Where? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
You know where! Oh! | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
That makes five times. Five. Five times. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
West is definitely not going to be ready in time | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
for the semifinals routine. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
We can't afford to wait for him to get better so we're going to | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
have to replace him. Well, it's either Michelle or Amanda. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Michelle's better for this one. When Michelle and I became alternates, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
we decided that we would each be responsible for five dancers. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
And West was one of hers. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
Michelle? Do you feel ready? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
'I've been dreaming about dancing with the team. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
'But now that I have the chance,' | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
I'm so nervous and I don't want to let the team down. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Do you think you can handle it? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Yeah. I'll do it. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
We need to get you your costume. We need to rework the routine. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
We have lifts so we need to change that, obviously. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
'I feel really bad for West, but I just can't wait to perform' | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
on the International stage. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
CHEERING | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
The first semifinal is getting set to go. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
It's going to be Stockholm Dance Theatre | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
against Academia Toscana di Danza. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
That Italian troupe is set to go. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
CHEERING | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
We can use the word strong to describe these four teams | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
that are left standing here at Internationals here in Miami. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
But that really wouldn't do it justice. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
They're so much more than just strong. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
They have just exemplified everything that you want to see | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
in a competition of this nature. They absolutely have. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
They have taken every curveball thrown at them | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
and thrived and this is why they are the final four. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
There is no room for mistakes. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:07 | |
And Italy's drawn the short straw here today having to go head-to-head | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
against defending champions Team Sweden. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
'Six, seven, eight.' | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
One and two and three and four and five. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
'I know Michelle is a fantastic dancer, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
'but to learn our semifinals routine' | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
right before we go on, that would be hard for any of us. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
One, two, three and four. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
'I feel like I'm picking up the choreography just fine,' | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
but I'm super nervous. It's just a lot to handle. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
CHEERING | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
And up next, those wily veterans out of Sweden - Stockholm Dance Theatre. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
# Wake up in a new skin # Oh, babe | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
# Life is how it's always been # Oh, babe | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
# I can open up my eyes # Oh, babe | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
# And see it in a brand-new light # Oh, babe | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
# Shivers running down my spine # Oh, babe | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
# Music in the bright light # Oh, babe | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
# Suddenly covers me # Oh, babe | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
# Pouring rain apparently # Oh, babe. # | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Sweden is already looking very impressive out there. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
It's no wonder they're the defending champions. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three and four, five | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
and six seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
six, seven, eight. Pose. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
So right now we're re-choreographing the routine to fit Michelle | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
and it's actually going really well. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
I'm ready as I'll ever be. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Got it? Um, yeah. I'm ready to go. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Good because we need to get in costumes and go. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
So, let's do this, guys. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
West, you coming, bro? Just give me like... Just give me like two min... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
HIS STOMACH RUMBLES Oh I'm out. I'm out. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
That kebab was kabad. And it kablooied me. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
Wow. Ashley, Stockholm Dance Theatre has been a model of consistency | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
throughout this week. And it continues. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
That dance was incredible. They were moving as one. It was fantastic. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
And I don't know how they will ever be beat. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
All right. So now it's all left up to the judges. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
The judges have tabulated their scores. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
And the team moving on to the final round is... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
Stockholm Dance Theatre. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Sweden is moving on and, Ashley, what have they not used up yet? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
They have not used their five-point advantage. Wow. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Really, at this point, they are practically invincible. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
# So give it up, up | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
# All of your love, love | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
# And don't run, run away. # | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
Five, six, seven, eight. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
One and two and three and four and five. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
'Right now, Giselle and I are just backstage and we're just kind of | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
'going over the dance just to really make sure it's in my brain. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
'I can't believe I got this opportunity.' | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
I feel like this is my time to shine. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
The stage looks huge. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
Is it any different than Regionals or Nationals? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
I mean, I've never been to Nationals. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
Mind you, I've never even been to Regionals either. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
That's right. You weren't at either. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
It's going to be weird starting over at Regionals next year. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
Yeah. I never really thought of that. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Me either. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
For Noah to go back to Regionals, it makes sense. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
Me on the other hand? I've been to Regionals. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
I've been to Nationals and now I'm at Internationals. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Regionals? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
That's just a big step back. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
CHEERING | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
'It's weird competing against The Next Step | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
'because they're nice people. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
'But when it comes to competition,' | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
no-one is going to hold me or my team back. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
Our semifinal dance? There's a little girl wandering in the woods | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
and we're all like enchanted trees all trying to scare her. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
And it's all about how you could control what you are afraid of. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
CHEERING | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
'They're all so technically beautiful and very fluid.' | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
And it's actually kind of brilliant. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
SHE EXHALES | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
CHEERING | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
'Ours is a lot more fun and upbeat and it kind of worries me | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
'just because their routine is beautiful.' | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
And I'm worried that that is going to beat us out. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
Guys, come in. Huddle around. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
Listen, I know that England is fantastic. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
They are a very, very strong team. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
And that's fine because we're here at the semifinals | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
and I want you guys to focus on yourselves. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Don't even think about them for one second. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
Yes. I totally agree. If we dance for us, we'll win. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
Yup. Honestly, this could be our last time dancing together, guys. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
We have to go all in. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:33 | |
Yeah? You guys down? Yeah? You guys ready to go in? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
ALL: Yeah! | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
This could be the last time that I step on the stage. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
I have to dance for myself. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
And I have to go all out. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:46 | |
CHEERING | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
The drama continues to heighten. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
That was a solid performance put forth by Summerford School of Dance. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
It sure was and our newbies are up next - The Next Step. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
They've got their work cut out for them. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
Beat that. Planning on it. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
I want to beat Ella more than anything. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Well, Ashley, up next is The Next Step. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
And once again they are mired in drama. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
The scuttlebutt backstage is that they have to go to an | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
alternate dancer here in the semifinals. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Chuck, this is an absolute nightmare. We are at the semifinals. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
There's no room for drama or anything to be happening so | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
I really hope they can figure it out and give it a fair shot on stage. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
All right. You guys got this? Will The Next Step... Here we go. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
..please enter the stage? CHEERING | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
All right, all right. I'm here. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
West, what are you doing? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
What? | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
Look, West, I got this. I can perform. No, no. It doesn't matter. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
I haven't... HIS STOMACH RUMBLES | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
..thrown up in three minutes. It's fine. I'm good. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Michelle, it's up to you. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:56 | |
Listen, you could probably do a better job than I could, so... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
light up the stage guys. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
Good luck, guys. Good luck. Kill it. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
Will The Next Step please enter the stage? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
CHEERING Good luck! | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
'I thought I was going to have this moment with the team, but...' | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
I guess not. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
Sometimes you just have to step back. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
# Just set me on fire # Fire | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
# Your love is just like a flame | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
# You're burning me up # Fire, fire, fire. # | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
CHEERING | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
OK, now we have been told that they are not going with their alternate | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
and they're ready to perform. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:45 | |
Let's see what they got. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
ELECTRO-SWING MUSIC PLAYS | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
'Our semifinals routine is called Let's Dance Tonight | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
'and it's kind of about James having this dream. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
'He kind of gets pulled into this old-fashioned style of dancing.' | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
He's very hip-hop and completely different from how we're dancing | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
which is very swing. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
Then I realise that they have never seen hip-hop. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
'So I show them some hip-hop and then by the end of it | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
'it's kind of like a hip-hop swing fusion.' | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
# Shake your body from side to side. # | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
CHEERING | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
'Now that I'm on stage, I'm feeling better than ever.' | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
I wouldn't have missed this for the world. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
'As I'm dancing I feel happy. Super happy.' | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Because even though this may be my last time dancing, I still love it. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
Woo! | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
'They're doing so amazing, but...' | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
you know, I just wish that I was up there with them and | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
being a part of their performance. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
# You and me baby gonna dance tonight | 0:16:17 | 0:16:18 | |
# Come here, girls Help me do it right | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
# Shake your body from side to side. # | 0:16:21 | 0:16:22 | |
'I think The Next Step have a good routine.' | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
But we are going to win this. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
Woo! | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
CHEERING | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Ashley, is it safe to say that The Next Step | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
just delivered their best performance? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
It sure is. I'm blown away. I did not expect to see that | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
after everything that's been going on backstage. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
But was it enough to beat England? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
Let's see how this thing pans out. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
The judges... We're waiting on them. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
'Waiting to hear who the winner is is always the most stressful part.' | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
There's not much else you can do. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:08 | |
You just have to stand and wait for the results. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
'This is very tense.' I am so nervous right now. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
And it's even worse because | 0:17:16 | 0:17:17 | |
we don't have the five-point advantage any more. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
'The suspense is killing me.' | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
If we don't beat Ella's team, I don't know what I'll do. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
Talk about the heightened drama throughout the course of this week. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
Absolutely. I feel so bad for the dancers standing up there waiting. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
There is no worse moment than waiting to hear | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
if you've won or lost. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
And it looks like we might have a decision. Yeah, they're ready. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
Yeah, here it comes. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:40 | |
The judges have tabulated their scores | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
and the team moving on to the final round is... | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
The Next Step! CHEERING | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
We're going to the finals at Internationals. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
OK, this is huge. I don't even know how to feel I'm so excited. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
In your face, Ella. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
'I finally beat Ella.' | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
She deserves it. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:06 | |
It kind of reassures me that | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
cheating does not get you ahead. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Ella cheated and she lost. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
SNR has been following The Next Step through Regionals, Nationals | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
and now here at the International Championship. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
It's The Next Step's first appearance here | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
at the Internationals and they are in the title bout. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
What are you doing? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:34 | |
It's over, you beat us. We can be friends now. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
Don't you get it? Oh, no. I get it. I just don't play that way. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Oh, Ri. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
Scowling doesn't suit you. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
That's right. Scowling doesn't suit me. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
'Celebrating with my real friends does.' | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
Woo! THEY CHEER | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
'We're just warming up for our finals routine.' | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
This day is the most important day of the entire competition. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
Riley, come here for a second. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Listen. I've been having a great time at Internationals. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Don't get me wrong. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
But I've been thinking a lot lately. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
And... | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
I just want to be with the band. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
I know. But once Internationals is done | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
you'll have plenty of time to do both. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
No. No, no, no. You're not understanding what I'm saying. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
When Internationals is over... | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
I just want to be with the band. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
I don't know what to say. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:46 | |
You could say you're cool with that? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
I don't think I can. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
I can't give James my blessing for this... | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
because it terrifies me. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
Dance has always been the one thing that we've had in common and | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
by him saying that he wants to leave dance... | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
it's kind of like him saying... | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
he wants to leave me. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
All right. You guys warm? Yeah. Yeah? OK. Let's get up. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
Let's start working on this. Today is the big day. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
Come on, get in your spots. It sure is a big day. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
Excuse me. What are you doing here? This is a closed rehearsal. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
Yeah. Not for an Absolute Dance Internationals judge it isn't. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
Lucien is back. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
That's right. I'm a judge. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
Lucien's a judge? Are you kidding me? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
He has managed to sneak his way in again. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
Of course, his one goal is to take down The Next Step. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
And it looks like he might finally succeed. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
'I know Lucien really well.' | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
And with him as a judge... | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
there's no way we're going to win. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
# We, we are gonna show the world | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
# Everything we're made of | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
# We're gonna tear the roof off this place | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
# You, you can never fade us out | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
# Don't even ask the DJ | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
# Everybody knows we own this sound. # | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 |
