CLAY: Do you have any previous dance experience?

I can barely stand up right..
Um..
JESSIE: You're doing great right now.
NOAH: Oh really??
JESSIE: You're standing..
JESSIE: Yeah! NOAH: Thank you!
JESSIE: So Noah, the song we're dancing to today is called "Suge" by DaBaby,
it's a class by this guy named David Lee from STEEZY Studio.
NOAH: Okay, David Lee?
David Lee sounds like he's got it.

NOAH: Uh huh.. CLAY: Click on that..
NOAH: This? CLAY: Yeah!
NOAH: Start looping mode.. CLAY: Boom,
CLAY: Go ahead and click on "Show Sections"..
CLAY: Click on which section–
we're trying to do "Practice with music."
NOAH: Practice with music.. CLAY: Dope.
CLAY: And then set the in and out points.
NOAH: Wow! CLAY: Now press play!
NOAH: That's unbelievable! CLAY: That section will keep looping.
NOAH: Oh my God..!
This is magic!
Thank you!
JESSIE: –SIX!
NOAH: Yeah I'm so sorry guys..
CLAY: Nonono! No–
NOAH: I'm garbage.
C'mon David, only 14 more times!!
I believe, I believe.
I won't give up..
I gotta try to be comfortable..
Do I look comfortable??
Is this what comfortable people do??
NOAH: Okay..
Aw engage my core??
I don't know what that is..
I can't MOVE..
[breaks out into song] I can't mOoooove..
You guys gotta SMELL me too..
Like enjoy that..
JESSIE: Ayyee! NOAH: Ooh..
JESSIE: You got it! You got it.
NOAH: A little better..
JESSIE: You're on to something. NOAH: A little better! A little better..
Let's move on.
[DAVID: I'm gonna go onto my heel.. onto my heel..]
["then sway, sway, sway..]
NOAH: Sway, sway, sway..
Ooooooh!
OOooooh!
Oooooh!
CLAY: Oooh DANG Noah!
NOAH: Oooooh!
CLAY: Yeah TEXTURE..
[DAVID: And right here we're just gonna go: shoulder tap.. shoulder tap.. okay?]
[David continues teaching]
CLAY: You're hitting a wall in front..
NOAH: Ooh! Ooh!
JESSIE: There you go! NOAH: Okay..
Okay..
Unh! Unh!
NOAH: Throwing my chest like you think I can~!
You know, this is..
this is quite the experience..
I feel like I'm learning a lot..
I don't know if I seem very slow,
but it's okay.. CLAY: Noo! No!
CLAY: It's your own personal experience!
NOAH: Okay, okay!
CLAY: And it's your pace!
NOAH: Thank you! CLAY: We're just here to help out!
NOAH: Alright!
NOAH: Sinh..
Huh..
Unh..!
Unh! CLAY: OOOOOH!
NOAH: Thank you! [Clay laughs]
Thank you!
That felt GREAT.
NOAH: Oof, oof! JESSIE: And lean back if you wanna look cooler..
NOAH: Oooh.
JESSIE: Like I don't CARE..
NOAH: Ooh!
NOAH: I need to NOT..
CARE..
I DON'T..
CARE..
Hoo– Ooooh!
Oooo– Oo oo!
Woo woo woo woo woo woo!
Qui, qui, qui
BA! BA!
I can't MOVE..
Let's do this..
[grunting noises]
BAA! PA! PA..
POP MY ZITS
PA! PA!
Now I'm gonna use my favorite feature..
For people like me, you can just loop the section!
NOAH: Ooh ooh..
Eh..
NOAH: I am.. uh– tired
but I am.. committed.
I guess the most challenging part about taking the class is
having to actually.. like keep up in speed.
I have no..
idea of rhythm..
so I feel like I'm-
in a good way, I'm trying to absorb a lot of different lessons at the same time,
just coming in as a beginner..
JESSIE: Mhm.
NOAH: Past learning the dances,
but trying to get my body used to even moving in beats..
CLAY: Just when we're considering dance as a WHOLE, NOAH: Mhm..
CLAY: we want to make sure that
we are associating it with regular day things. NOAH: Mhm.
CLAY: So when we're saying like "slam down"
like we can literally imagine we're like
like– like a car trunk..
NOAH: Mhm..
CLAY: And we're holding that..
CLAY: And we're gonna..
close that EXCEPT..
the car becomes like..
gooey liquid at the end.. NOAH: Mhm..
CLAY: And then now we SINK through that..
So we, raise it up..
And then we go..
"MLEHHHH"
"Ew the liquid's on my shoulder!"
NOAH: Uh huh.. CLAY: And then like change it–
"Ugh the liquids all on my OTHER shoulder!"
So does that kind of make sense?
NOAH: Yeah! Yeah.
NOAH: Completely. CLAY: When we always associate with
regular day things, it allows us to..
not feel like it's a completely foreign language. NOAH: Mhm.
JESSIE: Mhm. CLAY: But that's HARD to do cause we're in our head.
Overall? NOAH: Mhm..
CLAY: I think you're doing a REALLY wonderful job
at staying on BEAT..
CLAY: YOU.. may not recognize it personally because it's– new.
What reference do you have?
NOAH: Mhm. CLAY: And that's TOTALLY fine, right?
But, I want to affirm that
it totally shows right there.
NOAH: You guys are..
actually super kind and helpful,
I feel comfortable, and I feel like I'm learning..
CLAY: Do you wanna move on?
NOAH: Oh I wanna move on!
CLAY: Let's get it.
NOAH: Double time.
NOAH: We're gonna move onto the third eight count as David Lee said!
I'm starting to feel more comfortable,
and hopefully, I'll just get better!
JESSIE: Yeah!
NOAH: WOO!
Thanks guys.
[DAVID: So remember that this is a very.. uh fast-paced piece..]
NOAH: Okay, I do remember that David..
[DAVID: ONE.. I'm gonna take it over and down on two..]
[and take this, uh, kind of like swiping the back of your head right here..]
NOAH: Hoof..
Five..
Six..
[Noah exhales]
[Noah sighs]
[imitates brain explosion]
Wow..
Bow.. bow..
CLAY: BEAUTIFUL! NOAH: Okay..
Oooooh, ooh!
[Clay laughs]
NOAH: David wants to move onto these wobble arms..!
Alright I'm pausing it..
and I'm gonna do it for myself in my brain..
CLAY: I'm like.. NOAH: Haaa..
CLAY: throwing things at you.. NOAH: haaaa..
CLAY: and then you're gonna pull your arm and dodge it
so it's like.. BAH!
JESSIE: Yeh..
NOAH: Bah–! Bahh..!
CLAY: Yeah! NOAH: Okay okay okay okay..
NOAH: Dodging..
CLAY: Perfect..
CLAY & NOAH: Dodge, dodge..
NOAH: How much more?
Cause I feel like a loser.
Feel like I'm ruining our day.
[DAVID: Now wobble.. back.. wobble.. back.. wobble.. nice!]
CLAY: It's a "slippery floor."
[imitating floor noise] Ee, err!
JESSIE & CLAY: Ee.. err..
[Roddy Rich: EE.. ERR..]
CLAY: Ohh!
JESSIE: Boing-boing-three!
[imitating "Cha-Cha Slide"] JESSIE: Three hops this time!
CLAY: Hohh!
What??
NOAH: Eight.. nine..
Ohhhh..!
HOO now, what do I do??
Tell me what the wobble and
wobble, sup, toot, DOW!
CLAY: Go ahead and go to the screen..
and go ahead and press that button..
NOAH: What's this..?
CLAY: Yeah..
Uh, press the back..
NOAH: Wow..
CLAY: Cool.
Maybe this'll help you like..
NOAH: WOOoow.. CLAY: see it from the back.
CLAY: And you're gonna match it. NOAH: Okay..! Okay!
Yeah..!
CLAY: You wanna try a little bit?
NOAH: Yeah!
Now we're switching the angle!
Gettin' that butt angle!
MMmmmmmmMmmMmmMmmMmm!
AhhAH AH!
Hii mom!
Do the "Hi Mom~!"
[DAVID: Right.. left.. left.. right..]
NOAH: Right.. left.. left.. right..
[DAVID: You're gonna go bass.. bass..
[STEP on the bass.. I twist my knee in..]
Oh my... GOD!
Am I SHAKIRA??
What am I doing??
[DAVID: Boom.. boom..]
NOAH: Bow..
Bow..!
AAHHH!
Where are we??
Wait– but okay, the LAST thing that I remember..
[Jessie laughs] NOAH: Is that I HOPPED..
JESSIE: Oh! Yayaya!
NOAH: Boom..
JESSIE: Land..
NOAH: Oh sh*t wauu– [laughs]
Ha! Ha! HaaaaaAH!
Climb to hump!
Now I'm rolling to..
JESSIE: Up! Uh huh.. CLAY: Beautiful!
JESSIE & CLAY: Bang-and-releaseee! NOAH: Boww.. BOWW..
NOAH: Let's try this..
THIS is the showtime..
JESSIE: We did it!!
NOAH: Yeah! JESSIE: You finished!
NOAH: Yeah, I have- well uh, KIND of–
I've gotten through the choreography..
once or twice fully.. right?
JESSIE: Mhm!
NOAH: And now I gotta perform..
JESSIE: Yes..
NOAH: I'm nervous..
JESSIE: We're almost there..
NOAH: I feel SORE in places I've never felt sore before
I'm definitely like, 6 pounds lighter just from water weight..
but strangely, it's-
it's really activating parts of my brain that I've NEVER used before..
I can't even hear the music yet!
I'm so focused on moving that I can't even interpret
with my eyes or my ears..
CLAY: I think like, one of the fun things-
and this is for anyone watching is:
you guys are seeing Noah.. do the dance
and.. he's actually doing so well
but HE.. physically and mentally doesn't..
can't really fully recognize that..
and that's a really natural thing when it comes to learning dance
is that we will often feel like
"Oh my body doesn't look right, it doesn't feel right,"
but when other people are watching you,
they're- they're pointing out these things like
how Noah has a natural bounce to his body actually
and, he has a really good sense of rhythm
especially for someone.. taking their first dance class
for something that's not even that easy!
JESSIE: Because, like you said, you're sore in..
places in your body that you.. didn't even know you had..
and you're activating parts of your brain that you didn't know existed
so.. it's the unfamiliarity
that.. is kind of messing you up, but
all in all, you can see us all cheering you on
and we're super impressed–
you're doing really, really well!
NOAH: Thank you! You guys are so supportive..
[Clay laughs]
CLAY: We are about to get into..
[Noah exhales nervously]
trying to actually perform it altogether–
Jessie and I will be your backup dancers–
NOAH: OH my gosh..
CLAY: I'm sure you're gonna kill it..
NOAH: Okay thank you!
Thank you! CLAY: You ready?
NOAH: Oh I am– I'm ready..
I'm ready!
CLAY: Alright.. NOAH: I'm ready!
I'M READY!
Was that confident?? JESSIE: HE'S READY!
In case you didn't hear that! NOAH: [laughs] Yeah!
[nervous laugh]
JESSIE: You did it!!
NOAH: Yeah..
JESSIE: YAAAY! [Noah laughs]
So tell us what it was like taking your first dance class on STEEZY Studio..
NOAH: Uhh, it was actually easier than I thought..!
Now albeit, I probably got like 80% of the moves in the end..
Uhh..
weirdly, being able to switch the camera view–
going from the front view to the back view..
The back view made my brain click
in a way that I would not have been able to.. even imagine.
Um, being able to loop is super super awesome
and, I'm kind of upset..
you guys don't know this, but I threw my back out right before we did the final performance..
and I still showed out..
I didn't do as good as I'd like,
but I felt like, without the platform,
I really would've been lost..
JESSIE: Mhm.. NOAH: Like if- if I did not have..
the ability to keep repeating and listening and following the same person..
I- I definitely would've not..
done anything.
CLAY: So you're basically ready..
to.. battle BOTH of us next time you come in, right?
NOAH: Oh my God, I can dance battle both of you
right here,
right now.
[Jessie exhales nervously]
CLAY: That confidence makes me so nervous now! JESSIE: I KNOW!
CLAY: I can't even do it right now–!
AAHH!
NOAH: I feel like this one was JUST hard enough
that I felt like I would– that I had a big enough challenge..
that.. NOT succeeding doesn't feel bad-
I feel like I learned anyway..
CLAY: Well where can people find you on the Interwebs?
NOAH: You can find me @noahgrossman214
or just Google "Noah Grossman.."
Uhh you'll find me on social media..
I make YouTube videos.. you know..
stuff.
CLAY: Thank you so much for tuning into this episode!
If you guys want to take the EXACT same class that he took,
you can hop on over to STEEZY.CO
so you can.. GO.. learn like a PRO
like NO......UH!
[Noah laughs]
CLAY: Thanks so much for watching guys,
Bye! JESSIE: See you next week!
NOAH: Make sure to stretch..!
It really hurts..!
[Clay & Jessie laugh]
