You will be given a combination
from each of the judges--
Richy, Robin, and myself.
You will be judged on how well you execute
each of our combinations.
Our judges will return in two hours to watch you perform.
The 12 best will move on in our competition,
and the other two will be going home.
Richy, my man, I think we're going to start with you.
Let's do this.
All right, troops.
[applause]
So listen.
It's a little bit of jazz, pop, and lots of soul and fun.
OK?
Remember, just give it your all.
I'm looking for perfect.
I'll show you what the routine is.
And in two hours, just show me what you got.
OK?
All right, let's hit it.
[music playing]
Five, six, seven, eight.
Go hu, ha, ha, ho, ho, hit, hit, and ku, ha,
go oh, ha, uh, ha, six, eight.
[cheers]
That was fantastic.
Robin, I believe it's your turn.
My choreography is a little bit of a pussycat doll
with a lot of attitude, a lot of confidence, and a lot of sense.
All right, hit it.
[music playing]
Five, six, tilt.
Is it hot in here or it just me?
Woo.
It's about to get even hotter, though,
because it is Abby's turn.
Are you ready?
Born ready.
Walk us through this, Abby.
I'm doing it once.
Let's hear that music.
[music playing]
Fall.
Yes?
[applause]
HOST: Our 14 dancers are here on stage
and ready to compete in their first challenge.
This will determine which 12 will move
on to the final competition.
Here we go.
[music playing]
OK, OK, OK.
You know what I'm looking for, and that's attitude,
charisma, confidence, and sass.
All right.
[music playing]
All right.
ABBY: Spread apart.
Take your positions.
Let's go.
[music playing]
OK.
Do you like to dance?
Do you want to be here?
You didn't run with it.
And you didn't bring it on.
You need to step it up.
I'm going to have you all dance one more time.
Do you stand behind somebody?
You might as well just go home.
Spread apart.
Take your positions.
Let's go.
