welcome to front row dance mania's number one competition after show i'm your host
fred rico the next step danced their way into your hearts and their iconic disqualification
at the finale broke the internet and put it back together again they're the most talked
about team in dance mania history and they're here tonight please welcome the next step
hi guys thank you so much for having us rodriko don't thank me thank your fans they're the ones
who can't get enough of you little rebels it still totally blows my mind that we have fans
us fans i can't believe how much attention we've gotten since the show started
we are so excited and overwhelmed and wait only eight of us are here where's everyone else
well they weren't online when we sent out the invite not online can you even imagine
now tell your fans what life has been like after dance mania honestly after a final dance
yes in which you performed a show-stopping though frowned upon by the judge's reunion with rochelle
yes we felt amazing but then we started thinking about what we did and what it
actually meant and you regretted everything no not at all of course not we had to do it
we're a team but we really thought we blew our chance of becoming professional dancers one day
yeah we thought um that our dance career is to the ground but thanks to our amazing fans we now know
that our dreams can still come true of course you haven't burned your dance careers to the ground
yet yep and if you play your cards right tonight on front row some of you will have a shot at your
dance dreams only some of us why well obviously you haven't seen this show front row activate
you're familiar with front and back row at your studio yeah lion placement we get it so the front
row that you see here ozzy kenzie finn and lily are the dancers that the audience love the most
wow that's so nice we're fan favorites and the back row yeah the fans don't like you
wow uh way to sugarcoat it there for driko oh man i don't want to be in the back row
what did i do oh it's not what you did heath it's what you didn't do you were outshone by your
fellow dancers for some like you heath the fans haven't had a chance to fall in love with you yet
for others like you rochelle you did something to make them angry like cause the next step to
get disqualified from dan's mania precisely or it could just be something random like in piper's
case it's the nickname i have a nickname what nickname oh uh i i didn't tell anybody i call
you my little honeybun i swear but fear not you all have a chance to change the narrative and i
will tell you how here's how it works one by one someone from the back row will battle someone from
the front row for their spot a spin of the wheel decides the challenge the fans decide your fate
yeah that sounds like fun well i i i don't think it does we're supposed to be a team and also can
um can we circle back to the whole nick the fans will comment live and choose the winner the winner
wins a spot in the front row the love of the fans and a chance to make their dance dreams come true
the loser is bench to the back row and a life of obscurity i don't like this at all yeah and what's
this about all of us having nicknames uh no that's just a you problem if you want a career after what
happened at dance mania this is how you get it you want the fans to love you right definitely after
all you wouldn't be here without them then you're all in if it's the only way to save our dance
careers i guess we have to be i don't want to let our fans down yeah yeah but what if it makes our
fans happy the nickname gets us a chance to be professional dancers then we'll battle as hard
as we can to make it happen agreed okay yeah yeah agreed i agree cool yeah cool my nickname yeah
again perfect then next time on front row the battle begins am i gonna find out my nickname
don't want to know pipes yeah it's it's not honeybun no no no you got all of your phones on
don't you want to focus at the task at hand and that's why they're calling you the wet blanket
you
