>> Jason: IT WILL BE FEATURED ON
CHROMATIC.
TONY BARAKSSON SAID, IT’S A
TRIUMPH.
>> Tati: IT’S TIME TO GET YOUR
GROOVE ON AND YOU’LL BE INSPIRED
TO BUST THE MOVES AFTER THE
SEASON PREMIER OF "WORLD OF
DANCE." INCLUDING JENNIFER LOPEZ, NEO,
INCLUDING JENNIFER LOPEZ, NEO,
AND DEREK HOUGH.
AND DEREK JOINS US.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO
TALK WITH US TODAY.
>> MY PLEASURE.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Tati: DANCING BRINGS PEOPLE
TOGETHER.
LOOK AT ALL THE TIKTOK VIDEOS TO
SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SHAKIN’
THEIR THING.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
DANCE HELPING PEOPLE GET THROUGH THIS TOUGH SITUATION RIGHT NOW?
THIS TOUGH SITUATION RIGHT NOW?
>> WELL, I THINK THAT -- I OFTEN
SAY THAT MOTION EQUALS EMOTION.
THE WAY YOU MOVE INFLUENCES THE
WAY YOU FEEL.
PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES OR
APARTMENTS, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR
THEIR MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL
WELL-BEING, BEING PHYSICAL,
ACTIVE, AND MOVING THE BODY IS
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
THEY’RE RELEASING IT THROUGH
THAT.
I’M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ALL THE TIKTOKS AND ALL THE SOCIAL
TIKTOKS AND ALL THE SOCIAL
CHANNELS ENCOURAGING DANCING, NO
MATTER WHAT IT IS.
GETTING PEOPLE MOVING IS VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT. AND, YOU KNOW, I’M EXCITED FOR
AND, YOU KNOW, I’M EXCITED FOR
PEOPLE TO SEE THIS SEASON OF
"WORLD OF DANCE" BECAUSE YOU CAN
RELY ON THE LEVEL OF DANCING AND
HOW INSPIRING IT IS AND HOW
ENTERTAINING IT IS.
SO I’M EXCITED FOR IT.
>> AND SPEAKING OF SEASON 4 OF
WORLD OF DANCE, THE BIG QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU CONTINUE TO FIND
IS, HOW DO YOU CONTINUE TO FIND
SUCH A HIGH CALIBER OF DANCERS
THAT YOU DO?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
HONESTLY, I HAVE NO IDEA.
IT’S AMAZING, EACH SEASON WE’RE
LIKE, HOW ARE WE GONNA TOP LAST
SEASON? AND SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, YOU KNOW,
AND SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, YOU KNOW,
WE ARE BLOWN AWAY BY THIS
INCREDIBLE DANCERS AND TALENT.
IT PROVES IT’S EVER EVOLVING AND
EVER DEVELOPING AND GETTING
BETTER AND BETTER.
AND THAT’S WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT
THE SHOW, IT’S OPEN TO THE WORLD, YOU KNOW.
WORLD, YOU KNOW.
AND IT’S OPEN TO GROUPS OR DUETS
OR SOLOISTS AND WE’RE GETTING
AMAZING, AMAZING TALENT.
>> Tati: ABSOLUTELY, INDEED.
AND GIVE US A LITTLE
BEHIND-THE-SCENES INFO.
HOW MUCH FUN DO YOU HAVE WITH J.
LO AND NEO BEHIND THE SCENES?
>> NEO ON MYSELF ARE LIKE
10-YEAR-OLD KIDS MESSIN’ AROUND
WITH EACH OTHER AND GOOFIN’ OFF.
AND THEN THE SECOND THAT J. LO SHOWS UP, WE BECOME ADULTS AND
SHOWS UP, WE BECOME ADULTS AND
WE’RE JUDGES AND WE’RE ON A
SHOW.
IT’S PRETTY FUNNY, MAN. I THINK THIS SEASON MORE THAN
I THINK THIS SEASON MORE THAN
EVER, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND
JUST ENJOYED IT SO MUCH.
YOU KNOW, I THINK J. LO
LITERALLY JUST FINISHED THE SUPER BOWL LIKE TWO WEEKS BEFORE
SUPER BOWL LIKE TWO WEEKS BEFORE
WE STARTED FILMING AND I THINK
THERE WAS A SENSE OF RELIEF AND
SHE’S JUST -- SHE’S HERE AND NOT
PERFORMING AND GETS TO WATCH.
SHE GETS TO WATCH THIS
INCREDIBLE DANCING AND WE HAD A
GREAT TIME, HAD A WONDERFUL TIME
THIS SEASON. IT’S DIFFERENT.
IT’S DIFFERENT.
THERE ARE SO MANY TWISTS AND
TURNS AND THE COMPETITORS DON’T
KNOW WE’RE GONNA BE IN THE ROOM.
THEY THINK IT’S THE LAST ROUND
WITH THE PRODUCER AND WE’RE
WAITING FOR THEM, SO IT CREATES
CRAZY MOMENTS, A LITTLE BIT OF
FEAR, A LITTLE BIT OF
EXCITEMENT, WHATEVER IT MIGHT
BE, BUT IT CREATES DIFFERENT
MOMENTS WE HAVEN’T HAD ON THE
SHOW BEFORE.
>> Tati: THAT SOUNDS VERY
EXCITING.
I CAN’T WAIT TO TUNE IN. DEREK, THANK YOU FOR TAKING A
DEREK, THANK YOU FOR TAKING A
FEW MOMENTS TO CHAT WITH US.
WE APPRECIATE YOU.
>> APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
>> Tati: HAVE A GOOD ONE.
