- Marshmello versus SpongeBob.
- Whee!
Oh, Gary, I knew you'd never leave me.
- Word, what's up guys?
Have you guys seen SpongeBob before?
- Yeah.
- No.
You've never heard of it, right?
So everyone'll have a solo or a duet, trio,
something where we kind of break off,
show you guys in different groups and stuff,
and then we'll come back together again for the ending.
Does that make sense?
Bless you.
- Thank you.
- Nice, nice dab, perfect, still got it.
No dabbing!
Dab-free zone.
No whoahing, no whipping, no nay-naying.
For each solo I actually took a move
from one of the characters in the show
that they've done, and we kind of turned it
into a hiphop or contemporary version for the dancers to do.
That one's kinda funny.
- Yeah, that little like wiggle back and forth.
- When I was watching back the clips,
one of the things I noticed is that
there's a lot of different styles
that actually match the dancers really well.
For instance, we have Merrick whose specialty
is animation and robotics and waves,
and there's a part where SpongeBob literally
does this crazy walk, and Merrick was able
to take that and put it into his own style.
We've got some grooves for Tyra and Shaden
and they're kinda takin' them
and adding their own style to them
to make them a little more of a hiphop vibe.
- I didn't know SpongeBob had done so many dance moves.
- So just incorporating all of these fun dance moves
into regular dance moves,
I think it's like a really fun touch to it.
- Ratata, boom dadadadada.
- As a choreographer I think Matt is really really focused
on the detail.
He does a lot of like, tutting stuff,
and weird body rolls.
It's definitely a challenge for me,
but I learned a lot from it.
- So the challenge of making a cartoon dance move
into a real move, is having to dial down
the exaggerated version of it,
because obviously you can't do that in real life,
so we have to kind of dial it down
to make sure it's comfortable for us.
- Five, six, seven.
And of course we've got a big surprise at the end
with Cha Cha comin' out.
My Cha Cha the snail, and then killin' the choreography,
controlling the whole group,
and eventually sending them off
and just being the star of the show.
- This is the coolest dance ever!
- So guys, today is shoot day,
as you can see we're getting set up behind me here.
We're no longer in Los Angeles,
this is now Bikini Bottom, we're underwater, and I--
(Loud Construction Noise interrupts)
We're getting set up.
- What are we doin' today?
- We're dancing.
- We are all SpongeBob
- With pineapples,
Underwater.
- SpongeBob-inspired.
- Oh wait wait wait wait. Ready?
Boom.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Wait that was so good, can you do that again?
(SpongeBob Laugh)
- Oh my god, teach me.
- Baa.
- Jisa, how are you? Smile.
- Are you ready to dance?
- Now I'm here with the crew, how you guys doing?
- Good.
- Good?
What's some of your favorite parts so far
from the shoot today?
- When Cha Cha comes in.
- Oh yeah, that's my favorite part.
- That's everyone's favorite part?
- Oh yeah!
- I love watching just like Cha Cha!
- That's my favorite part!
- That's your favorite part too?
I figured.
Can you do the SpongBob arms? Like this?
- Oooh.
- Come on.
- Yay!
- You guys killed it today, amazing job.
- Woo!
- Yay!
- We'll see y'all next time.
- Baa!
- That's a wrap!
- Woo!
